Describe the bug

With previous firmware versions, when BLE was active, tapping on the "BLE" icon in the status line did deactivate BLE.

Now this does not work anymore, instead I get a popup asking "Restart BLE advertising and pairing?".

Cannot BLE anymore.

Also, in Mgmt → BLE, I do not find a button to deactivate.

I can only deactivate BLE by switching WiFi profile to AP Mode, then activating this. (Due to #312, I cannot activate WiFi in client mode.)

Which device are you using

LilyGO T-Deck Plus

Which Firmware are you using

v0.9.12.3

Regards!

I am experiencing the exact same issue. For me, the "BLE" icon lights up blue and I cannot interact with it to toggle the connection. In the previous version, the icon was green and I could easily turn Bluetooth on or off.

I am not completely sure if this is a bug in the software or an intentional change/undocumented feature that we simply do not know how to use yet. It would be great if the author could clarify this!

Tested a different way, but completely lost the point to remove it :(. My bad, will be changed back in the new update!

Fixed v0.9.13

  • BLE deactivate #313: status-bar BLE tap turns transport off again (symmetric with WiFi badge) instead of offering Restart BLE; Mgmt > BLE shows Restart and Radio Off.
