am i doing something wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong, it should reconnect.

That said, I have a Bose micro bluetooth speaker and somethimes this does the same. I find that if I just switch the speaker off and on again it reconnects, and is quicker than faffing with the phone settings.

The quality of the bluetooth stack implementation does vary quite a lot between android devices and that does affect how well they connect, disconnect and maintain connections with various other devices as well as quality of data transfer. Unfortunately it's not simply a case of paying more for better. Some expensive phones turn out to be quite problematic.

iPhones and google mini speakers were incapable of staying connected via Bluetooth, so much so i binned them off, not fit for purpose, so this doesn’t really surprise me!
