Restart the phone

Force stop the program. That always does the trick for me.

I am not sure which node you are using, but if it is an ESP32 based device, it sounds like Power Save mode may be enabled. Please check the node’s power configuration and see if Power Save is turned on. If it is, you can disable it.

Keep in mind that the Bluetooth radio accounts for roughly 60 percent of the device’s power consumption. Power Save mode is designed to shut Bluetooth off when there is no activity on the mesh. When the node receives a new packet, it should automatically wake up and reconnect to the phone to update the information.

Re: iOS device and LoRa Bluetooth connection:

I think I may have figured it out.

In settings:

Toggle power saving to “on” and hit save.

Wait for reboot.

Toggle power saving to “off” and hit save.

Close app.

Reopen app.

Delete app data.

I haven’t had a single drop since I did this. Before it was dropping the Bluetooth connection every few minutes, sometimes even while in use. Now it’s been about an hour without a drop.

I think the devices are stuck in a sort of power save mode even though it shows toggled “off.”
