Pixel and Sync3 v2.2

[scoggy_doogan]

Is anybody else having bluetooth issues with a Google Pixel on 7.1.1 and Sync3? Everything connected fine when I originally paired the device, but slowly I lose functionality at each startup. If I toggle Pixel's bluetooth off and back on at when I wake up in the morning, everything works fine until about the time I head home from work. At this point, the phone connects, but I do not have texts or any apps show up. Then the next time I start the car, the phone doesn't connect at all. If I toggle Pixel's bluetooth off and back on the cycle starts again. :shrug:

My current workaround is a tasker profile that toggles bluetooth off and back on when it disconnects from the car. No other bluetooth device is giving me issues. I'm currently on Sync3 v2.2.

Glad to know it isn't just me...I've had a Note 5 since I've owned the car and haven't had too many issues, but I just got the Pixel XL a few weeks ago and Sync does not play well with it. I can't control music or get song info through the bluetooth source, so I can only use the Spotify Sync app to have full steering wheel control and info show up. Texts don't show up nor can it access the contacts list. I was hoping whenever the 2.0 update dropped it would fix it but if you're on 2.2 already then I'm not sure what the issue is.

I've been reading up quite a bit on it and it seems like it is an issue with how Android Nougat (7.1) handles bluetooth. It sucks cause I really like everything else about this phone.

Google will hopefully patch it. I don't have the issue on my Nexus 6P and I'm on 7.1.1. The only problem I have is on Bluetooth startup, the first song has no information until I either stop/start or go to the next track

I've also had this issue with my car. Sync3 v1.0 and a Note5 phone.
