Bluetooth Connection Issues After One UI 8.0 Update

[AJac1986]

Is anyone else experiencing Bluetooth issues after the latest one ui 8 update? I have a car alarm that connects to my phone and it's been fine until yesterday when I did the update. Now the phone won't stay connected to the alarm, it connects for around 7 or 8 seconds then drops off. Extremely annoying and causing me quite a few issues

Maybe best to start a different discussion with that issue 👍

I have the exact same problem.
Galaxy S24+ (One UI 8 )
Starline S96V2
No solution yet.
For now, I'm back on my old Apple iPhone.

That's the same alarm as I have. Much appreciate you commenting as is shows that this is definitely something to do with the one ui 8 update. Can you send samsung an error report?

From what I've read the bluetooth is an Android 16 problem and not exclusive to One UI 8. Is this true? I plan to mess around with the developer options in settings to see if I can find anything that works.

I also have a bluetooth issue with my car audio. Before the update i just entered the car and Spotify began to play automatically. Now it just connects for a few seconds and disconnects :-(.

Same. Was using my s24u as a bluetooth tag for starline s96v2. Once update to OneUI 8 phone stopped to autoconnect. I've tried to recreate pairing, but no changes. Have no idea how to deal with it.

I too am having problems connecting to the BlueTooth Audio from the S24 to my Mazada 3. The phone bluetooth connects, but the audio does not automatically connect as it used to in UI 7. Every time I start the car I have to start the audio playing on the cellphone (if the audio is not playing the bluetooth will never connect for audio. This used to work in UI 7 whether the audio was playing or not), then on the S24, go to bluetooth, go to the device (Mazda), select details and wait to see if it will connect to the audio. If it takes too long and the Mazada stops scanning, I have to turn off the car and try again. It seems like all my other bluetooth devices are working, but none connecting automatically. Something in UI 8 broke this function.

I have tried deleting the devices, re-pairing, resetting the networks, clearing cache, starting in safe mode, and I can't remember every thing else I've tried, but no go.

SAMSUNG, PLEASE FIX THIS!!! Better yet, give us a way to roll back the UI to a previous version that worked.

Once this is fixed, and everything is working, you can bet I'll be turning off automatic updates. Just like I have my computers setup to absolutely NO auto updates.

One last thing. I refuse to factory reset my phone over something like this, so please do not recommend that option. Fix the problem and send out a patch or a new UI.
