Remote 3 randomly drops Bluetooth entity

I have my 2019 Shield Pro setup on the R3 as a Bluetooth entity. I’m using the Default device profile FWIW. When it is paired, it’s fine. But for some reason that I cannot fathom, it will just randomly drop connection once or twice a month and I have to go back into the Shield and re-pair the R3. Anybody know a way to fix this so I’m not dropping Bluetooth? Thanks!

Sorry, not an answer, but I have the same problem. Except a couple times a week. I’ve found rebooting the R3 reconnects. Not great, but better than the re-pair as I need to find the dedicated remote for the DVR, put batteries back in, and then start the re-pair from the DVR.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll try to reboot next time Bluetooth drops out on me.

Why BlueTooth for Shield? It uses Android TV.

The Shield remote is a BT remote. It’s only IR functions are to control TV power / volume. Plus all my gear other than the actual TV is housed in a ventilated closet so nothing is line of sight.

I know that the original remote uses Bluetooth but I use Android TV to control my shield.
