Are MartinM and LinkeKlebe the same person?

Each network (should) keep track of the DevNonce’s a devices has used. But networks do not know which were used on other networks. If the DevNonce is random, and you’ve not done a lot of joins on TTN yet, then even if one attempt is rejected, chances are that the next is accepted. Also, one can reset the list; see [OTAA shows "Activation DevNonce not valid: already used" - #13 by arjanvanb](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/otaa-shows-activation-devnonce-not-valid-already-used/5079/13).

If you cannot force a new join (like by removing the battery), does this imply the device is not close to you, and you only checked and re-checked the DevEUI, AppKey and AppEUI in TTN Console?

You might want to get an MQTT client running, subscribing to [all events](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/applications/mqtt/), to capture as much debug info as you can.
