I'm reviving this thread.......with some updates.
I was randomly doom scrolling through Instagram reels on Saturday afternoon. Came across one for "Android Bluetooth Optimization" or something about that. The poster had a method for improving Bluetooth stability. Essentially Android treats the Bluetooth service as an app. Because of that it can control the battery usage of that app. I went in, found that setting, and changed it from "optimized" to "unrestricted". I did this for the "Bluetooth" app, and the "BluetoothLegacy" app. I then restarted the device to ensure settings took hold for everything.
Since I made the change, and I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm going to test it again, and see how long it continues to work for me. Might be an exercise in futility, might be the "fix" for my complaints with the system......well some of my complaints, some are systemic and won't go away.
Initial testing shows VERY positive results. 3 days now, and it's been working exactly as it should. Both walking up to the truck while it's asleep, and even after just parking and coming back shortly which was a common complaint. I've also noticed my Garmin watch seems to be more reliably connecting when I walk into/out of a room that it's in, so I'm hoping that's a real change, and not just placebo.
If this works out, I'll eat the crow I deserve from everyone that said "It's your phone, not the truck". Stay tuned for me details.
