Before this latest update (android 14 March update; pixel 7a), I used to get alarms both on my Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids, and the phone speakers. That’s also true for the timer function.

But now it seems they’re going only to the hearing aids, not the phone, which is problematic because at night the hearing aids sit in a charger, not my ears, but are (quite annoyingly) still connected to the phone. Which means the last few days I missed my morning alarm.

The other morning, while trying to figure out what was going on, I selected the alarm tone, and it only kind of played on the phone (my hearing aids were still in the charging case). It played for less than a second then off. A little later, it played and then off.

When I first upgraded to the march update, I noticed Bluetooth cycling on and off a few times (but I don’t recall seeing it afterwards).

Anyone have similar experiences? Known bug? Some settings I’m not aware of that I should try?

    Sort of related but I keep getting an issue with Pixel Buds Pro not pausing when I tap. This is after the March update as well.

    Maybe there’s a Bluetooth bug?

      The thought had occurred to me as well, when right after upgrade my Bluetooth seemed to cycle on and off a few times before stabilizing

      I might try to remove the pairing and redo it (not a trivial process with hearing aids, but not super complicated, either).
