Posted at 2023-04-18 by Ocim Same here, I quit and then start the Gadgetbridge app to get it working again. Sometimes a restart of the watch is also needed. Posted at 2023-04-18 by @gfwilliams And you definitely have the 'auto-reconnect' option set in Gadgetbridge? http://www.espruino.com/Gadgetbridge#extra-setup Posted at 2023-04-18 by avanc @ocim Can you check if my workaround (connect to App Store, disconnect App Store, Connect Gadgetbridge) does also wokr on your side without restart Gadgetbridge? Posted at 2023-04-18 by avanc @gfwilliams In fact, it was deactivated in the GadtgetBridge global settings, but activated in the Device-specific configuration. However, activating it in both places does not solve my problem. I think the problem is not that GadgetBridge it does not initiating a reconnect, but that the reconnect fails. Posted at 2023-04-18 by Ocim @avanc, yes that works too. I think somehow the connection is not removed on the watch when the phone switches off Bluetooth. If I walk too far from the phone the watch will reconnect to it when I return in range. But if I turn off Bluetooth it does not reconnect after turning Bluetooth back on. Posted at 2023-04-18 by dapgo (updated) My below issue was caused by a missing preference inside GB, and specifically a checkbox in the bangle.js connection (Auto reconnect to device)Time ago my bangle.js1+GB connection were very stable and lasted for many hours. After a while i decided to check the phone configuration, and then I granted permissions and i added GB to the exclusion list on saving battery. But it is still getting disconnected after after short periods. Posted at 2023-04-19 by avanc @ocim Reconnection after out of range works without a problem. @dapgo I also removed GB from battery saving. Posted at 2023-04-19 by sconniebotland Hi there, been a while since I've been on here but I ran into the same issue and checked here to see if anyone else had too. Good to see I'm not the only one. I tried your workaround and it works for me too but I think I've found a more permanent fix. The Gadgetbridge guide on Espruino says to select 'don't pair' when setting up Gadgetbridge with the Bangle.js as it gives the most reliable connection . However, in my experience this results in the connection issues. When I select 'pair' instead, the bangle auto connects like it's supposed to. I've tested this and it works even after flight mode is turned on and off or if Bluetooth is turned on and off. Hopefully it works for you too :) Posted at 2023-04-19 by avanc @sconniebotland Thanks for the suggestion. I can confirm that it works with 'pair' as expected! Thats great :-) Posted at 2023-04-19 by sconniebotland No problem :) Posted at 2023-04-20 by @gfwilliams Great news - thanks! Please can you update in a few days and see if it keeps working reliably, and if so I'll update the docs Posted at 2023-04-20 by sconniebotland Yeah of course. So far so good but I'll keep an eye on it over the weekend and update next week :) Posted at 2023-04-21 by Ocim I can confirm the same. Thanks! Posted at 2023-04-30 by avanc @gfwilliams It works since 10 days like a charm. Bangle.JS reconnects is all cases within seconds. Today, I updated to Firmware 2v17 without regression. Posted at 2023-05-02 by Ocim I agree and for me the battery also lasts longer now Posted at 2023-05-04 by @gfwilliams Ok, great! I'll update the docs then - I'm surprised about the battery though (I wonder if that's not related to Pairing) And thanks @avanc - I'm glad you're enjoying it! |

Hello,
I put my smartphone to flight mode every evening. However, Gadgetbridge does not reconnect to bangle.js after turning flight mode off.
Also manually clicking on connect does not help. The only solution I found so far is, to open https://banglejs.com/apps/, connect to my device and than Gadgetbridge gets the connection. I attached a short video.
If I don't do the Chrome connection, Gadgetbridge is not going to connect to the watch.
If have the same problem with my other watch.
I'm using Bangle.js Gadgetbridge 0.73.0-banglejs on an Pixel 6 running CalyxOS 4.8.0. But I had the same behaviour also on my previous Android Stock phone.
Does anybody has similar problems with re-connection after flight mode?
