I got my M3 for a month now. My phone key has been unreliable at best, but there seem to have been some improvements since 2019.24.4. Let me elaborate:
For context, my phone is an antiquity, an old Samsung still running Android 7.0 (stop laughing, not funny)
I also own a Garmin bluetooth wristband who has been working properly with my ohone for years (I promise it's relevant, keep reading)
previous to 2019.24.4 this is what happened:
-with a freshly rebooted phone, phone-key will work no problem as soon as I get close to the car
-after some time (minutes, hours, who knows), my phone will start acting up and will not work as a phone key anymore. Also, when in this state, the phone will stop communicating with my bluetooth wristband and other non-audio bluetooth equipment.
-when in this stae, bluetooth music will work fine, even when pairing to the M3
-at this point, a phone reboot fixed the issue both with the car and the wristband
after updating to 2019.24.4
-now my phone bluetooth communications with the car and my wristband do not get blocked-until-reboot anymore
-on the other hand, I have the imrpession it takes longer for the phone to get connected to the car, when I get close to it, than on previous versions.. Around 10 seconds is not uncommon.
-even when inside the car, I can see the phone sometimes cycling fast between disconnected-connecting-connected-disconnected... which never did before
-the craziest part is that the only piece of software updated was the car, not the Tesla app in my phone, nor the phone software in any way
So if my deduction is right, with previous Tesla car software versions, somehow my phone was affected by the communications with the car in some way that blocked my phone bluetooth connection to non-audio bluetooth devices....
Or maybe is just all coincidence. It would be SO NICE to have access to Tesla release notes... how many hundresds of speculative post like this one would cease to exist?
Do you see any difference in your case?
