And not in the "extreme" way your exemple give, you get in trouble much earlier.
I want to connect my headphone to my phone, and randomly my phone will decide to pick up the hi-fi system in the living room instead that I connected once at Christmas to play music, or if I dared opening the door it would connect to my car.
I assume everyone who use Bluetooth on their phone has at some point connected it to some sort of hi-fi system or car or TV or whatever so what, do we all face that problem? And why is Android so terrible at letting me pick which device it can connect automatically VS those it must have a manual request for me? Even wifi settings have that...
A _very_ consistent issue I have is my car did not come with Bluetooth audio (it was a $800 option at the time). I bought a Bluetooth adapter that just plugs into AUX. My current Android phone will not automatically connect to this device, but it will connect to the car's hands-free. Yes, the car has hands free but no BT audio, that's BMW for you. When I'm out of the car, the adapter will not let go of my phone so my phone will just keep broadcasting music for hours.
A fault of the phone? Probably not, it's more like the adapter works _too well_. It really only needs to be tuned for a few feet, realistically, but yet works up to practically 30 feet away with the adapter IN THE CAR 3 FLOORS BELOW ME. The adapter is marketed for use in the car.
Anyway, every so often when I had an iPhone it would prefer playing over the hands-free instead of the BT audio adapter... because that's preferable for music apparently??
I feel like the spec needs to be revamped. BLE was a good addition, but I'd love to see introduction of some sort of mesh and more accurate proximity detection. Apple had to mash two different techs together just to get AirTags to work.
