That's bizarre. I have a Samsung phone with Samsung Bluetooth earbuds and I've only ever experienced a single connection issue in the whole year I've owned them and they are a daily driver for me. I wonder what the difference is.

Samsung phones actually use their own Bluetooth stack not the one from AOSP Android. This is why the Bluetooth feature set sometimes doesn't match with the others.

  Well that solves that. It seems much more reliable.

Generally, Samsung's bluetooth implementation has worked better than any other Android I've used. On top of that, Bluetooth seems to work better if both devices are from the same vendor

Samsung bluetooth is different from Android, and it has been much better for many years now. In fact I use Galaxy Buds with my S10 and it is an amazing seamless experience. No lag, no disconnections, great audio quality, and I don't even need to have bluetooth enabled for them to connect, just need to open the buds' case. I don't know how that last part works.

  I havet not had any issues with Bluetooth on standard android or Samsung devices. What I _do_ have problems with is the stupid accompanying apps on Samsung phones (Wear and Buds) that are reinstalled automatically every time I reconnect. Dear Samsung, how many times do I have to refuse the ToS and delete the app before you get my point? (I don't use the apps because I don't want any of the "smart" functionality and I don't like Samsung sharing my data with unspecified third parties)

    I like the gear app, it has many options to customize the buds sound and gestures. How else do you propose they deliver those features and software updates to users? Keep I mind that Samsung needs to support other Android and ios phones too.

      I believe the user should not have to choose between not geting firmware updates and not signing away their personal information. Let me explain: on the first run the app demands access to lots of personal data including contacts and location data while at the same time stating they may share this data with partners and third parties. If you don't agree to _all_ these the app will not start (but continue to nag you) If Samsung wants to make the app a requirement, they should remove analytics and also let the user choose if he wants to give the app all these permissions.
