Short pages by feature (getting started, messages, contacts, navigation,
tools, settings, lock, hardware) instead of one page per OLED screen, with
Wio Tracker L2 differences as notes; facts checked against the code
(keyboard scripts vs. hold-for-accents, {batt}/{dist}, L2 limits and
settings layout). Developer guides and build flags under docs/solo/developer.
Old docs/solo_features and its ~50 screenshots removed; a hero banner and
three simulator screenshots added; links updated.

# Messages
|
||
|
||
Messages holds three lists: **Channels**, **Direct** messages and **Rooms**.
|
||
Unread counts show on each conversation, on the list and on the home screen.
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> **Wio Tracker L2:** one screen with all three as sections; tap a section
|
||
> title to fold it. **New** in the header starts a conversation with any
|
||
> contact.
|
||
|
||
## Reading
|
||
|
||
Open a conversation to see its history as chat bubbles: yours on the right,
|
||
received ones on the left, newest at the bottom. Each bubble shows the sender,
|
||
its age and a small hop count: on a received message, how many repeaters it
|
||
came through; on your own, how many repeaters were heard passing it on.
|
||
|
||
**Enter** on a message opens it full screen; **Left / Right** there pages to the
|
||
older and newer one.
|
||
|
||
**Hold Enter** on a message for its options:
|
||
|
||
- **Reply**: starts a message addressed to the sender (`@[name]`).
|
||
- **Navigate**, **Save waypoint**, **Set as target**: when the message
|
||
contains a location (see [Navigation](./navigation.md)).
|
||
- **Path** on a received message: the repeaters it came through.
|
||
**Relayed by** on your own channel post: the repeaters heard repeating it.
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> **Wio Tracker L2:** hold a bubble. The card shows when it was sent, the hop
|
||
> count, the path as a diagram, and **Reply** / **Set target**.
|
||
|
||
### How much is kept
|
||
|
||
The device keeps the newest 48 channel messages and 32 direct messages, all
|
||
conversations together. When a busy conversation pushes out messages you
|
||
haven't read, its unread count gets a **+** (for example `48+`).
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> **Wio Tracker L2:** 256 channel and 128 direct messages in memory, and with
|
||
> an SD card every conversation is also saved to the card (100 to 2000
|
||
> messages each, Settings › Storage). The history survives a reboot and
|
||
> scrolls back through everything on the card.
|
||
|
||
## Writing
|
||
|
||
Open a conversation and choose **[+ send]** (or Enter at the bottom of the
|
||
history). Pick a quick message or **Custom message** for the keyboard.
|
||
|
||
- **Quick messages**: ten of your own, edited in Settings › Messages.
|
||
- **Placeholders** fill in live data when the message is sent:
|
||
`{loc}` (your GPS position), `{time}`, `{batt}`, and the readings of any
|
||
sensor the device has: `{temp}`, `{hum}`, `{pres}`, `{alt}`, `{lux}`,
|
||
`{dist}`, `{co2}`.
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> **Wio Tracker L2:** the compose bar sits under the conversation; its **+**
|
||
> opens quick messages and placeholders. Quick messages are edited in
|
||
> Settings › Messages & contacts.
|
||
|
||
### The keyboard
|
||
|
||
The on-screen keyboard is a letter grid (or a phone-style T9 keypad, Settings ›
|
||
Keyboard › Layout). Up from the top row moves the cursor through the text.
|
||
|
||
Accented letters don't need a language setting: **hold Enter** on the base
|
||
letter and pick from its variants, for example `a` → `á à â ä å ą…`, `z` →
|
||
`ź ż ž`. This covers Polish, Czech, German, French, Spanish, Nordic and the
|
||
other European languages written in Latin.
|
||
|
||
Settings › Keyboard picks two scripts, **Main** and **Additional**, from Latin,
|
||
Cyrillic and Greek; the keyboard's **#@/abc** key cycles between them and
|
||
symbols. Cyrillic includes the Ukrainian, Belarusian and Serbian letters
|
||
(under the key they sit on). Received messages in any of these scripts display
|
||
correctly whatever the keyboard is set to.
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> **Wio Tracker L2:** a phone-style keyboard. Hold a key for its accents; the
|
||
> globe key switches between the two alphabets.
|
||
|
||
## Channels
|
||
|
||
**Hold Enter** on a channel for its options:
|
||
|
||
| Option | Does |
|
||
| ------ | ---- |
|
||
| Mark all read | Clears its unread count |
|
||
| Notif, Melody | Its own notification and sound, instead of the global ones |
|
||
| Fav | Marks it as a favourite (shared with the app) |
|
||
| Scope | The region its messages are tagged with (`*` = none); the list is in Settings › Radio › Scope |
|
||
| Pin to dial | Puts it on the Favourites page |
|
||
| Edit, Delete | Renames it or changes its secret; removes it |
|
||
|
||
**+ Add channel** at the end of the list adds:
|
||
|
||
- **Public**: the default public channel, if you deleted it.
|
||
- **Hashtag**: a topic such as `#hiking`. Anyone who types the same topic
|
||
joins the same channel.
|
||
- **Private**: a name and a secret, typed as a passphrase or as the 32-digit
|
||
hex key (the format of channel QR codes).
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> **Wio Tracker L2:** hold a channel, or tap ⚙ in an open channel, for its
|
||
> options.
|
||
|
||
## Direct messages
|
||
|
||
**Hold Enter** on a contact: Mark as read, Notif, Melody, Fav, Pin to dial.
|
||
**Fav** is the star shared with the app and sorts favourites to the top;
|
||
**Pin to dial** only puts the contact on the Favourites page.
|
||
|
||
## Rooms
|
||
|
||
Opening a room logs in first. You type the password once (empty if the room
|
||
has none); it's saved on the device, including passwords set from the app,
|
||
so the next time it logs in without asking. A wrong password is forgotten and
|
||
you're asked again. **Hold Enter** on a room offers **Login…** and **Logout**.
