Question:

I'm having a problem with the device. It isn't exchanging keys with other nodes. Messages keep appearing: “No channel,” “Message encryption failed.” Leaving the device on all night with GPS enabled also did not result in a successful public key exchange with other nodes. I only have contact on the medium_fast public node. People tried to message me, but nothing went through.

Answer:
Please perform a factory reset on the device via the Meshtastic app, or re-flash the Meshtastic firmware onto the device. Afterward, please follow the tutorial at the link below to create a custom channel; have both parties join this channel to see if messages can be successfully sent and received.
