Keeps disconnecting from phone. When I click on Connect the icon for not connected on the watch goes away, but on Samsung Wearables it keeps "trying to connect". The connection is never finished. I can see Samsung Health doesn't sync and notifications aren't displayed in the watch.. Repairing sometimes solves it. Restarting the watch seems to work too. But it lasts for a short period of time. Maybe a couple of hours only.

The permissions for this plug-in are causing the wifi on my Pixel 6 to intermittently turn off (have to manually turn phone WiFi on again). If I block the app permissions it resolves the issue, but then I can't sync the watch. Have tried uninstalling/installing the plugin/app and even a complete phone and watch factory reset, but the same issue occurs as soon as I provide this plug-in permissions to my phone. Extremely annoying issue. Other than the issue, the watch performs well.
