Android WiFi to Cell Data Handover — Netbird won’t reconnect automatically

Hey everyone! I'm not 100% sure this is the right place to ask this but I figured it can't hurt. I'm running a self hosted netbird setup with a separate zitadel OIDC for auth to access my homelab remotely (proxmox host is the other peer I use for the route) — full disclosure I used claude code to do most of the setup work for me. I was originally running an older netbird setup that had zitadel integrated and I didn't have this issue, however I wanted to use some hooks for user registration in zitadel that weren't available on the pinned zitadel version inside netbird so I separated them — now I'm running the latest stable of netbird and zitadel on separate LXCs and they work fine together. I also pass my homelab DNS (technitium) via netbird for my homelab addressing.

My issue is that my android phone now (pixel 10 XL) has issues when going off wifi to data. The app tends to get stuck connecting on the handoff and completely blocks off my internet (even. I have two options when this happens — #1 — sometimes it lets me disconnect and reconnect and that works fine, no issues at all — or #2 — sometimes the big button in the app for connecting/disconnecting doesn't respond at all and I have to force close the app. Upon restart it works fine. It's something about the handoff. I've tried various fixes suggesting all around but I figured it might be time to start fresh and ask some real people! My research so far just says this is an issue and I have to deal with it but I find that hard to believe.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!
