Yes, I have the same problem.
Until we get a proper fix from Sony or Google, I wrote a small app to check Bluetooth at a fixed interval (by default every 10 mins, can be changed). If Bluetooth is off, my app turns it back on.
Let me know if you want to use it.
are you on the latest build update? (.378)
try to perform a software repair using xperia companion
I'm experiencing same problem with Z5 Compact and 32.3.A.0.378. I have Huawei Watch and I really want it to be connected all the time.
I have made software repair with Xperia Companion and adjusted all settings that I think might be related to battery optimisation and bluetooth connection.
Still my phone turns bluetooth off many times a day. I have noticed that only situations that bluetooth keeps on are when there is some ongoing activity with phone and watch, for example SportTracker workout active, or Sleep-as-Android monitoring.
I have enabled developer options in the watch and set it to vibrate always when it loses connection to phone so that I can set BT on again
I have tried Auto Bluetooth app from Solar Wooden Robot but it does not work. I'd like to try another app that set BT on automatically.

Hi,
You are welcome to try my program which checks for Bluetooth every 10 minutes and, if it is off, turns it on. The program is here: http://www.freepoc.org/download/RestartBT.zip
The program sleeps apart from when checking for Bluetooth so it doesn't use many resources (battery etc).
Hope it helps you.
Regards,
Malcolm

My Z5 latest update version is .376 ,and no further update available.
Hello,
my Bluetooth is always activated at my Z5, because I need it every day (hands-free in my car).
After Update to Android 7.0 Nougat: When I reboot my phone Bluetooth get deactivated.
I must activate Bluetooth everytime again after reboot and this makes me very angry!
What is the problem? With Android 6 I didn't have this problem.
