Do you have an Android phone? The bluetooth stack on Android is a an atrocity.
3 comments

AFAIK Android's bluetooth stack was rewritten from scratch in rust for Android 11.

There are a bunch of options in the dev options including what enabling the Gabeldorsche stack.

Good point, updating to Android 11 took my Bluetooth connection from "spotty at best" to "nearly too aggressive". If you have multi-point Bluetooth accessories, Android 11+ devices will almost always try to steal your connection if Bluetooth is enabled. I can't tell if it's a feature or an issue, but it's certainly better than the way it used to be.

I wonder why Bluetooth is still somewhat fragile.

It works as well or better than my iPhone 6's.
