Describe the bug
The Contact limit of 130 is very restrictive. Mine is full from one day of discovering.
Can it be increased to 350?
Which device are you using
LilyGO T-Deck
Which Firmware are you using
0.97
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Additional context
There is plenty of storage on my T-Deck
5% Used
with v0.9.8 the limit will be reaised to 250 Contacts!
actually more is not possible.
Thanks!
FYI, the LA/OC/SD (West Coast Mesh) area has maxed out the repeater IDs (254), so including Users 350-400 might be a better number.
My MeshCore companion BLE 1.12.0 is currently set at 350 and it’s maxed it out.

Sorry, I didn’t read it was “not” possible…

A possible improvement related to this that was suggested by a friend (he was also happy to hear about the increase):
“One more thing - on the 251st contact - delete the oldest non-favorite contact to make room?”
With this feature all new contacts will be saved and the oldest will automatically be deleted and no new ones will be lost. (there is a constant turn over with repeaters moving IDs, they ininitialize with a duplicate ID and need to change leaving an orphan contact that will never be used again)

Since the v0.9.8.prerelease1 there is a new GUI feature to configure contact settings more in detail. And there is one setting to overwrite the oldest one already implemented 👍. Check it out and lets us know if that already would help you out in this situation!
@KPrivitt in 0.9.8. the contact limit is increased to 250 and you can configure which kinds of contacts you want to auto-add, and whether you want to overwrite the oldest contacts. I'm closing this issue as I think everything you requested is implemented (although an even higher contact limit might be possible in the future?). Feel free to reopen the issue if you disagree :)
