Galaxy A52s 5G bluetooth broken after last update (security from 1st Jan 2025)

[DABer]

As title says, the bluetooth connection to multiple devices is broken and cannot be established. It shows connecteded, but phone call audio is not going to car/headset. Also actively moving to bluetooth by selecting via button is not connecting anymore.

Feedback gisteren op mijn incident ticket is dat de eerstvolgende update de correcties aan boord zou hebben. Hoop doet leven. Indien niet  : prullenbak en trachten commerciële tussenkomst nieuw toestel te bekomen.

Dat is goed nieuws! Stond in de reactie ook wanneer de update te verwachten is?

Was overigens al bijna zover om naar een ander merk over te stappen.

Thanks for forwarding and sharing. Fingers crossed!
nog een fijne avond

I will also be waiting for this fix....Tried almost everything over a few months before finding the thread.....I'm now glad i did not go through the bother of a full factory reset. It is quite a frustrating experience because of the fact that anything that "fixes" the issue is only temporary and you only find out a few days later that it didn't work:(

indeed. I went through a factory reset without any results.  Good to know it is not lack of knowledge but a irritating bug.

Hi everyone,

as I have the same symptoms, I would like to ask If there is anyone who has experience with the fix like that. How long does it take usualy to patch such bug if they fix it at all?

Thank you for sharing the same pain and  I cross fingers with you.

Hello,

today I think I found SOLUTION on Reddit to this problem on my A52s (hope it is permanent, but time will tell).

• In developer mode, find 'Select Bluetooth SAP Activation'.
• Select 'Force SAP activation'. By default it is 'Default (no effect)'.

For me bluetooth calls started working immediately! 

(To activate developer mode, you need to tap “Build number” seven times in Settings - About phone - Software information. Then "Developer options" menu will appear in your Settings menu)

Hope this helps! Let me know!

I tried this a couple of weeks ago. Worked initially but then stopped again the following day 😞

Oh no... and I was so happy about this... 😓

I did what you suggested but unfortunately without a positive result.
