Bug Description
Tekla shield is paired and connected with my Nexus S (running stock 2.3). Unfortunately, it disconnects and immediately reconnects every 15-20 seconds. It never remains disconnected for over a second. If I lock the phone, it unlocks when the shield does its disconnect/
Is the goal of the perpetual connection/
Any suggestions?

This is definitely not an expected behaviour. The Android app is designed to automatically reconnect after a connection times out (e.g., when the Shield is too far apart from the phone), but if this was the case, you should be experiencing a longer delay between each reconnection, leaving the phone unusable with the Shield for about half a minute every time.
My guess is that either the application is silently crashing or the system itself is killing and restarting the process. We will have to do some testing before we can provide an accurate diagnosis.
With regards to the unlocking, Tekla is designed to unlock the phone when a switch event from the shield is received and when a shield connects to the phone (so you can use it right away), so this does make sense.
If you have any more info that you think may be relevant to the solution of this issue, feel free to add it to the bug report above or as an additional comment. We will take a look at this for the following release of the Tekla Android app.
