December Drop Fixes Android 13 Bluetooth Issues
I didn’t want to call it too early, but after applying the December update on my Pixel 7 Pro on Monday, all the Bluetooth issues I was experiencing seem to have gone away. Now some of them were intermittent, or took a long while to show up, but one consistently just didn’t work.
I wasn’t able to Phone As A Key (PAAK) with my car, and connect to any BTLE OBD II dongles. Given the 100% reproduction rate pre-December update, and the 100% success rate after, I’m going to call this one totally solved. Only time will tell if the other issues mentioned before will also disappear, but all signs point to “yes”. Huzzah!
