Seems like there are some other people on here with the same or similar issues, i figured i'd post here rather than one of those threads since I've found a work around that corrects it, at least in my case.
i have a 2022 MYP thats about a month old and right away i noticed an issue connecting to the car after its been idle for any length of time. the app would basically stall out connecting to the car, sometimes for a short period but sometimes it would never return a connection. the Bluetooth connection is rock solid and if i'm close enough to unlock the car it usually loads pretty quick.
i have a background in IT so i went about troubleshooting and i found that if i disconnected from wifi and used my phones 4g/5g suddenly the connection was 80% more reliable and when that failed, simply reconnecting to the wifi would then allow it to connect. I later figured out that it wasn't jsut being on the mobile network but it was first making the attempt on wifi and then switching networks. testing this theory, i've never had to do more then that, disconnect from wifi, connect to mobile network and then reconnect to wifi (or vice versa if i start on a mobile network), at one point in that process it will connect 100% of the time and since i do it right off the bat if it doesn't connect quickly i achieve the connection in under 10 sec usually.
the only theory i can come up with is that the first signal to the car (me opening the app) actually wakes the car up but fails to establish a synchronous connection with the sender but also somehow blacklists that sender (probably not blacklist, probably a failed handshake and resulting hang but obv could be anything) and then once i'm registered on a new network i look like a new sender to the car/server and it allows the connection. interestingly, once connected i can reconnect to the first network and it will maintain the connection just fine.
the only thing i can't fully test is if its an android / samsung thing. i have samsung fold 3 so not old or anything but i only really have access to other samsung's in the house, i did test it a couple times on some friends iphones but obv that was a limited duration test and could be meaningless but the results seemed the same.
if anyone has any insight on this i'd love to get to the root cause and possible figure a more hassle free workaround lol
