Hello everyone,

I have a Pixel 5 running Android 14, and I’ve always had this issue with Bluetooth devices (any device): after the phone disconnects from a device because of proximity (eg. going too far from the device), it never re-connects automatically when I get back into the device’s Bluetooth range. I have to manually enter the Bluetooth settings and tap on the device name I want to connect to

This is something that always worked on my previous phone (which was running LineageOS)

Is this supposed to work this way? Can it be fixed? I’ve tried to look around in the Bluetooth settings but there isn’t much to tweak there

    This is a setting on your bluetooth device, not on your phone. My Soundboks-speaker for instance does re-connect to my Pixel 5 and it has a setting specifically for that.

      Hmm that’s weird. I bought my Pixel 5 in 2023, the bluetooth devices I own are the same I was using with my previous phone (mostly, four devices: the car’s bt-aux adapter, bt speaker, headphones, cool headphones), and they all used to re-connect automatically. Now none of them does lol so I assumed it was an issue with the phone
