A53 Bluetooth randomly disconnects and reconnects since last update

[DarthBob]

For the last few weeks, since right around the time of the last update, my Samsung A53 5G will disconnect and reconnect randomly. This happens no matter what device I'm using, and happens with increasing frequency until Bluetooth devices are essentially unusable.

I've tried the following to resolve:

1. Unpairing and repairing the impacted devices.
2. Clearing all my network/bluetooth connections.
3. Resetting the phone.

Only resetting the phone has worked, and that only worked for a limited time; I reset my phone less than a week ago, and this issue has started up again today.

There was another issue reported with Bluetooth following the latest update in the following post:

While the symptoms are different, I have to wonder whether they're related somehow.

Thx.

Remove the update

I had the same issue with 1.27.0, along with the known issue that when BT connected, audible continued playing.

The 1.29.0 update resolved the issue for me.
