@teastain2 ok thanks for your help

@teastain2 i think your are write about the libraries. gps is working fine and was solderd on befor the board was flashed to meshtastic.
i used the web flasher https://flasher.meshtastic.org/ firmware as of now is 2.3.11.2740a56 alpha

@teastain2 yea runs fine on usb and it has charged the battery
no i dont no how to program with arduino ide but i was able to get the t-deck connected then arduino asked if i wanted to update the devices on the board automaticly and i did but after that im at a loss

latest beta firmware installed as of tonight no change

@teastain2 thanks for your time and sorry for taking so long to get back to you but as ive said above ive little experience with this kind of thing.
i have Arduino IDE installed and im able to connect to the t-deck but im at a loss with putting comands in

@teastain2 were do i even look to find that to chage it as above new to this

basicly guys im pretty new to all this so humour me please got the tdeck printed the case solderd the gps on flash to latest firmware all this was done without a battery usb cable as power sorce. so battery arrived yesturday got it all put together battery charged to 100% reading 4.84v the battery its self is 3.7V 1200mAh 4.44Wh Li Lipo Battery 603450 JST 2Pin 1.25mm an all is goot until i unplug the usb it switches of and will not turn back on under the batteries power.
