no bluetooth after enabling wifi
i think, since i have enabled wifi on lilygo T lora v2.1-1.6 (custom built, not bought from them), bluetooth on that device stopped working.
i see that device is connecting, that it sees people, but the phone is not able to connect to the device.
pidgin with pidgin-meshtastic plugin via usb is able to connect.
also i have installed meshtastic python software, disabled wifi, increased timeout of ble announecement, but still i can't see it.
not sure what to ask or if someone had such experience. but at least, be careful when enabling wifi. yes, i have enabled it to connect to my mqtt. but i lost bluetooth.

A lot of these nodes are either Bluetooth or wifi, not both. I have gotten myself into trouble not knowing this. I had to reflash the firmware to get out of it.

can confirm that most of these devices have a single radio/antenna for bt and wifi. you get one or the other but not both.
i usually just use bt as that typically is the default setting if the firmware is reset.
