Chrome OS Bluetooth disconnects
#1
I'm using Pixel Slates connecting via Bluetooth for a long time. Tablets are always very close to each other (within 1 metre).
Just few months ago the connection behaviour changed.

Before: to establish master-follower connection it required bit of patience. It took few seconds, sometimes two or three taps on "Join Group" button. It wasn't instant BUT connection was rock solid! No disconnections.

Now: Connection is instant (nice), no waiting at all, one click only. BUT followers are occasionally disconnecting (quickly connecting again) AND page turns are much slower!
That creates a problem when master turns the page at the moment during disconnection it will not turn page for disconnected follower. 

Just to point out that this is happening also when tablets are in "clean" environment with no other active Bluetooth devices around.

Anybody with similar Bluetooth/ChromeOS experience?

Perhaps Google changed Bluetooth behaviour when the Android layer in ChromeOS was upgraded from 11 to Android 13?

I haven't changed any of the bluetooth code in MobileSheets for a long, long time, so that would definitely point to a change on Google's side with Android 13 on ChromeOS. I'm not sure if there is anything I can do in my code if the bluetooth connection is dropping out like that. I guess I could hide the reconnection message if it's a quick disconnect/reconnect and only show it if the reconnect is taking a long time, but that wouldn't fix the issue with the slow page turns. That points to a more fundamental problem with the bluetooth connection.

I would definitely leave the message on as it's indication when NOT to turn the page!
