Galaxy A53 - Bluetooth connection issues after Android 13 update

[Gav_hay]

Before the Android 13 update I had had no problems connecting my A53 to Bluetooth devices. However, ever since the update, connecting the phone to my car or to my Samsung ear buds has become very hit and miss. If it won't connect, I have to restart the phone.  I've tried all the troubleshooting suggestions I can find but nothing has worked so far. Has anyone else experienced this issues and does anyone have a solution?

Another system update, another failure to fix A53 connection issues with my vehicle. A few months until I upgrade my phone to something that works.

I never imagine that Samsung couldnt connected to bluetooth devices until I bought Smart scale where my " Random China Phone" connecting in seconds and my wifes Samsung A53 just cant. Tried everything. Very dissapointed because it passed 1 year already!!! I was about to buy Samsung Phone for myself but because of this one big red flag I wont

I even run programmers Mode and tried to change Bluetooth standard etc and nothing. Seems like only Samsung can do something about it in those 5 years of update support guarantee

It's been over a year for me since my A53 has been able to connect with my Ford truck. Daily frustration. I have always liked Samsung products but will be looking for another option soon.

My Toyota Yaris Hybrid cannot read Bluetooth music, but can connect phone. I have tried all suggested fixes, but no dice. Very frustrating

I think the a53 5g is just a rubbish phone in general, I think it is the one ui software that is causing such problems as even the while phone locks up and I can't use it, I get the message one ui has stopped responding, anyone else have this problem
