Car will only unlock or start when the app is up

[Nexus7]

So, I went on vacation for two weeks and came back to my car (with new 2019.28.31 software installed) and my car will not unlock or go into gear unless I have my app up and running. I've tried turning on and off my bluetooth on my phone but that doesn't seem to work. The car will lock when I walk away regardless if the app is up or not, so I'm not sure what is going on. Any thoughts?

UPDATE: After re-downloading the app, re-establishing connection to my car, rebooting the car and sleeping on it, my car magically opened this morning without the app on and just using bluetooth connection. So weird considering my music would play.

if you have an android phone, it's possible the battery saver is messing with you or if google decides to update play/carrier services, it can sometimes screw up your BT connections.

Your car felt abandoned and was messing with you
