After soldering on the oled display the bootloop stops.
I am now able to connect to the Wifi AP. But unable to change any settings or add the radio to my meshtastic app on android 11. The app just spins the indicator after pressing the + button.
The display says
@1/1 No GPS
#LongF-G (i)e188
??:??:?? 0 I2C device found at address 0x34
That would be the first T-Beam 0.7 with an AXP192 power chip. Try the "tbeam" firmware which is for 1.0 and newer

@caveman99 Thanks for your reply! I have flashed the t-beam 1.0 variant to the device. Same info on the display. Able to connect to the AP but that's it. not able to configure anything. Alignment of some display items is on top of the progress bar. Doesn't really seem to do anything different.
1.3 is still very much Work in Progress. You got the right firmware type now, for a good user experience yu might want to reflash to 1.2.x
I have seen something like this on my tbeams. I had 1.3.25 running well on two tbeams T22 V1 20191212 SX1262 and same same version with a LORA32 radio. When I upgraded to 1.3.26 the SX1262 was fine but the LORA32 kept just cycling the opening Meshtastic Logo page.
@caveman99 You seem to be right, after compiling and uploading the latest 1.2 release (zipped sourcecode), and selecting t-beam instead of t-beam 0.7 (this should maybe be mentioned on the documentation page to avoid frustrating users?), I now have it working :D
Althoug I am not able to create a new channel but at least I got connection with my phone
Hmm, no problems with my android phone, but iOS compains about 1.2 firmware not being supported. Too bad.
1.2 only works with 1.2 clients and 1.3 only with 1.3 - with iOS you need to select the other release (1.2) in testflight. 1.2 is not a great experience with iOS though, because of the older BLE stack. That's the reason we ripped that out and put a new one in 1.3
As I now have both OS'es to my avail, I'd love to support any testing. For now I am very happy with the support getting things going. I'll have to check in once my 433mhz units arrive on the slow boat.
Btw, is the point of using wi-fi instead of bluetooth in the 1.3 clients also paving the way for multi-phone pairing? I'd love to have both my phones connect to the node when in range.
The main use for wifi is to be a base station or bridge the network to the internet, wifi connected devices are much more power hungry and not a great choice as a portable handset an esp32 with WiFi takes 200mah while a nrf52 device uses 5-15ma. Multi user is an open enhancement, but would be a lot of work and is likely a device memory problem.

Description
Hi All!
Trying to get things running on the bare minimum I could get, which is a t-beam 0.7 for now.
With the stock git repo built in Visual studio code (I really do prefer atom, but alas) Building and uploading worked after a few issues detecting the serial port (have to reboot everytime I unplug the t-beam for it to be detected). Anyhow, I got it to upload the compiled code. But then it just went into reboot loops. (see relevant log)
Serial output:
I tried to get some info by decoding the stack trace output.
Unfortunately I don't really know what any of it means or where to begin mitigating this issue
tried again flashing according to the instructions (why are there only instructions for windows???)
But I got a boot loop (again) with a lot of unkown characters in serial.
