Just downloaded Particle app and tried to connect to brand new Photon. App find Photon but does not find a WiFi network! When I type the name it seems it finds it because I see “secured with WPA2” beside its name in password step. So I manually added my network credentials, but I saw error sign on the app.
I checked my Android phone setup, when phone connects to Particle, it disconnects from my home network. I went settimg and selected my wifi network and pressed rescan button on the app but it did not find my network again. So again I manually added my network credentials, went back to setting and connected WiFi to Photon, and it wen tthrough the first 2 steps but again I saw error sign on the app.
Any advice to make the app work?
I have detected a Photon connected via USB.
? Would you like to continue with this one? Yes
! The Photon supports secure Wi-Fi setup. We'll try that first.
! PROTIP: Wireless setup of Photons works like a wizard!
! PROTIP: We will automagically change the Wi-Fi network to which your computer
is connected.
! PROTIP: You will lose your connection to the internet periodically.

No nearby Photons detected. Try the particle.js help command for more inform

? Would you like to wait and monitor for Photons entering setup mode? (Y/n)

Has it been connected yet (at least once)? Could you try particle setup wifi in the CLI when it’s in blinking blue/listening mode? Then don’t have it detect your security type automatically.
Photon has not ever been claimed.I did what you suggested, At the end it did not restart. I pushed reset button. Now it’s blinking orange

Thanks! Wait while I save those credentials...
Done! Your device should now restart.
I setup another Photon with Android app. It went like a breeze. There’s something wrong with my first Photon. Maybe its id is not defined in the system. Any ideas?
I have had the same problem and was solving it with Particle engineers. However unsuccessfully and at the end of the day they gave it up and suddenly stopped communicate. Now I have one Photon working and one as a draff.
@kennethlimcp I flashed the last FW successfully. Then tried to install Tinker and got this error:

I used app. It went through the first 4 steps smoothly but error showed at the last step.
I don’t think issue is related to WiFi because when I use app it stuck at CLAIMING Photon only.
Anyway I got a new error when using CLI: " Serial! no device available via serial"
I reset photon, restart Windows bit still the same issue.
I tried “Particle Setup” it says no usb connected!
