Z Fold 3, Bluetooth stoped working when folded but work when unfolded.

[ALanteigne]

As described in the title my bluetooth stoped working properly since the android update 13. When unfolded the bluetooth work fine, if i lock my phone it stop working. When it is folded the bluetooth does not even turn on, if i try to turn it on the ''button'' turn from grey to green but get stuck at the faded green and does not turn on. i tried to change the A2DP Hardware offload in the developer options but it did nothing. i have all the most recent updates and still have the same problem.

Thank you for your times and help guys!!

Hi Keith,

Android 14 did not work for me with this issue, It started a few weeks ago on my fully updated, mint hardware condition fold3 that I bought new a month or so after launch

BT sound works fine when closed but stops when opening, it also makes the video run frame by frame, basiccally stopping playback.

Z fold 3 - Bluetooth earbuds work when phone is folded but stops when phone open. This started after the latest update. I can't find A2DP option to turn it off. I've got all the latest software and firmware updates for WEAR. I don't know what to do now.
Samsung, please fix this issue. There are too many people with this problem for it to be something we've done.
