More powerful in what sense? The position page needs tons of work. I like them both but the new base UI seems superior currently |

you can see the last 5 to 6 messages for the 0th and 1st channels, while baseUI only shows the last message of either channel, which for me is more important than seeing the bearings of nodes. Also, the baseUI is extremely cramped on the t-echo display, although theres a PR that'll alleviate the problem |

I can agree totally on the messages page. I get super frustrated because I cant see the chain. |

I much prefer the 2.7.0 UI to the eInk UI on a T-Echo |

Showing more than only the last message would be VERY helpful 😃 |

Thanks, but still no signal. I flashed it with 2.6.11 just to make sure the LoRa radio wasn't fried. It's working fine with the old firmware. |

I just flashed 2.7 on an older Lilygo T-Deck. The UI is looking great, but I can't send or receive messages. I can't see it with any other nodes either. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but in the home menu it says "no signal" with the bars crossed out. Awesome work! This is going to be sweeeeeet! |

Try going into setting on Bluetooth from phone or connect and go to client. Make sure region is set to US and make sure your frequency slot is 20 |

Canned message Emojis are not displayed properly I am very happy that Emoji appears normally in the menu of canned messages. Otherwise, it was blank in the past. Emoji will only be displayed when it is received. But if I set an Emoji in a canned message, it will be displayed beyond the screen, making it impossible to correctly select the message to send, and I can't see the "Exit" option. I have recorded a short video, please watch it: My device is: Heltec v3 |

Great job, team! I can't wait to try it out & report back. |

I have successfully updated & used the new UI on the Node types below. The only issue I noticed is that ADC Multiplier changes to push voltage to report above 4.20v did not seem to have an affect. Very minor issue on a tech preview Alpha. No big deal for me at this time. I LOVE all the extra data on display. Obviously looks better on wider screens (Heltec Wireless Paper, Heltec Vision Master E213), but I love the clockface option on the T-Echo. I can see where some users may not like this UI because it is too busy. Maybe consider a way to switch between legacy UI & new UI through an app Display toggle? An easier way would be two different flash files but I can see wanting to switch back & forth in some cases, making a reflash slow & annoying. I also miss the Tap Light on the T-Echo with the top button. The top touch button gets turned into a back button. You have to be on the Home screen to long press for the menu then select 'Toggle Backlight' to use it. Then go back to the Home screen menu to turn it back off. Some people may like this but I'm not a fan. Perhaps offer a toggle in the Meshtastic app to switch this mode for the top touch button to switch between this default mode and setting this touch button to 'Touch to Light' mode? You may also consider putting in an 'applet' selection menu like you have on the "InkHUD" display. This will allow users to reduce the # of screens and reduce the amount of data presented to the user for a slimmer experience. This may satisfy those who do not like the amount of data/screens they have to navigate through. May also remove the option of this new UI & adding the option to switch to the classic UI as previously suggested. Would also keep the flash memory use lower hopfully. Flashing v2.7.0.705515a on a Heltec ESP32 v3 board gave me a little trouble. Initial 'Full Erase and Install' resulted in a blank screen after flashing on my board. Serial console mode showed a "rst:0x1 (POWER ON),BOOT:0X8 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)" over and over. Flashing a second time appears to result in a success. Keep up the great work, MeshTastic team!! Successfully tested Nodes: *I have some RAKwireless 6431 Nodes but they are mostly my outdoor solar units. I also have a couple of T-Decks & a T-Deck + I left out of testing. I haven't taken the time to apply v2.7.0 to one yet. I'm sure someone else will post their experience with them. **FYI, I only use Bluetooth & USB C connectivity. I can't report on wi-fi connectivity. I have seen a couple of ESP32 V3 users state wi-fi may not be working right now. |

And PAX Counter has its own tab on the new UI as well. Nice! I've not messed with that ESP32 module before. *Enabled on a T-Beam Supreme with wi-fi & Bluetooth disabled. Remote Admin established over LoRa to reenable Bluetooth or I can connect via Serial over USB C to reenable. |

I flashed my T-Deck Plus this morning. I really like the MUI switch option on the System Tab. Nice to have classic & MUI available on the fly. Maybe this can be implemented on the other basic screens as suggested in one of my previous posts. Either a classic & New UI switch or an applet selection option like you have on the InkHUD to limit the amount of display info for those who want a lighter user experience. |

I'm using 2.7 with a pair of T3S3's at 2.4Ghz. So far basic testing works. I even put a GPS on IO pins 43/44. Posit data and time works great. Private channel and key exchange works too. |

Hi, it would be nice to add switch to enable and disable wifi connection through new ui. It would be handy for semi portable nodes |

What an awesome surprise! I got my nodes with the Card KB's back out and flashed them all. One thing I had a question on.... Is there a way to read past messages or is it still just the latest? NOTE FOR OTHERS: One node I had to flash twice and another node I had to do a factory reset to stop a the node from rebooting every time it got a message. Now the all work :-) |

Holding down the jogball does not work. is there a clear instruct how to switch back carried out on trh T-Deck when in basicUI. Thanks |

You need to be on the "System" tab (7th tab for me) which has the Gear icon. Should be right before the Clock tab. Press the Ball/button and you should be asked, "Switch to MUI?" --> Yes --> No". Select one by scrollling the ball of by pressing on the screen to change options then press the ball to select. It should reboot back into the MUI GUI for you. Good luck and have fun! |

Is there a manual for the new UI? What buttons, short/long/multi press, what are these supposed to do? |

Just flashed 2.7.3 onto my T-Watch S3 and the new UI is looking great! However, is it just me or do the left/right swipe actions feel reversed? up/down is correct. Please add an option to flip left/right swipe gestures, this is driving me crazy! :) |

Hi everyone, I'm using the SenseCAP Indicator for Meshtastic® & LoRa®, and I'm trying to get offline map tiles to display properly in the Map tab of the UI. I followed the instructions from: mattdrum/map-tile-downloader Could someone please help clarify the procedure to see GPS coordinates in the sensecap indicator? Any help would be really appreciated! |

I appreciate all of the hard work and creativity of this group. I don't want to say the maps are broken in 2.7 but they are severely changed. I have been unable to download an offline topo map since the update. Is there any new documentation explaining the hoops to jump through with this new version? My main purpose for these radios is hiking where there is no cell signal. Google maps terrain view is cute but not a serious topo map. Also, I hate to complain, but the node boxes on the map are huge now. Unless you are a mile or so apart, it's just a blob. |
