Google Pixel 7 Pro phone running Android 13 plus Pixel watch running WearOS
3.5. Watch battery life suddenly decreased by a large amount. Unable to find
any cause for a few days, but accidentally got to a page on the watch which
showed audio playing from Firefox, although no audio was heard. Unable to stop
it. Restarted watch and phone with no change. Eventually suspected
kdeconnect, killed that on the phone and the background process stopped.
Nothing on the phone showed the connection. Unpaired the phone from kdeconnect
and watch battery life returned to normal. Kdeconnect somehow connected to the
watch sending a website which was no longer in use on Firefox, and continued
until stopped on the phone.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I'm not sure it's reproducible.
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Kdeconnect sent a connection to phone in background without user knowingly
connecting. Unable to stop the stream on watch
EXPECTED RESULT
At worst, ability to stop the stream from the watch. Tapping on the play/pause
icon had no effect. Connection should be obvious to user, not hidden.
