We desperately need an option to limit how many Bluetooth devices our phone can connect too at once. I'm tired of listening to music on one thing then my one randomly connects to something else and it stops my music. And I have to keep disconnecting it manually cause it just reconnects on its own. I'd rather not have to delete a device just to keep it from connecting then have to pair it again when I want to use it later. Apparently there is to be a setting for this but it's no longer available. We need it back immediately.

Your Bluetooth should not be "device hopping". Once you connect to a Bluetooth device it should remain connected to that particular device unless you move out of Bluetooth range, where it will disconnect. Even if that happens, you should reconnect to the same device when back in range, unless the phone is in range of another BT device while the device your are listening on is disconnected.
As an example, if you have Bluetooth connections to your headphones and to your Alexa device, and you are wearing and connected to your headphones and start listening to music, then you leave your phone in one room and move to a room out of range of your phone, but the phone sits next to your Alexa device, it *may* decide to connect to the Alexa device while the music is still playing. This may be what you are experiencing. As others have said, device hopping while connected is not a thing that happens.

That seems like I bug, as I have never had that happen to me. You might want to put in an error report. If I was already connected to one device for listening to music, it stayed connected to that device. Of course, the phone can connect to multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously (otherwise, one's watch would disconnect every time some other device was connected), and some devices are not allowed to be connected in tandem, but the phone is supposed to connect, and remain connected to one audio device at a time unless manually switched or you have music share on (but that's only supposed to work between phones and speakers, not vehicles). Even if connecting to a vehicle, a phone can only be connected to one vehicle at a time (of course it can be paired to multiple vehicles, but only connected to one). I have a question, though. If you are operating a dozer and not driving or in your truck, why would it be on? Seems like a waste of gas and/or battery.
