S22 ultra, UI 7 update, Bluetooth issues

MIDTECHoldie — Thu, 15 May 2025 11:24:09 GMT

Hello,

New here, received the ui7 update, since then Bluetooth devices connect intermittently, I have to restart my phone before they connect again, some times it seems like they are connected, then I answer a call or make a call, and the Bluetooth device will not pick up the call and cannot connect even using the phone screen option. I try to turn it on (as the audio person and Google Assistant portion works), but that doesn't make a difference, then I have to restart my phone for Bluetooth to work again - additionally I noticed when I'm having this issue other Bluetooth devices may not be connecting properly at all....this is frustrating as I drive for a living and use a headset.. has anyone else had a similar issue or does anybody have ideas that could help solve this issue?..

I have restarted phone, and it will solve the issue temporarily.. I have unpaired the device and repaired, that does not solve, only restarting the phone solves it, but temporarily.

Thank you in advance.

Android 15 Bluetooth issue

How to fix the Bluetooth issue. Ever since the new update that got pushed on my phone while I slept, my phone will not connect to my Nissan Frontier automatically anymore. And when I finally get it to connect it only connects for audio. Please any advice on how to fix this will be greatly appreciated.

SOLVED

These steps fixed the problem, but you will need to re-pair any Bluetooth devices after the reset (including all vehicles, headphones, etc.) and reconnect to any home or office Wi-Fi networks you need to use:

Settings --> General Management --> Reset (near bottom) --> Reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Settings

After the steps in bold above, restart the phone and reconnect to Wi-Fi networks and re-pair Bluetooth devices.

I haven't had a problem since.

Same. I can get mine to connect to audio but not calls. I unpaired my car hoping it would fix it, but now I cant re-pair my car. It shows up in my available devices list but wont connect. Very frustrating

If you haven't yet cleared device cache, you should. This is a must after every software update, as it removes cached system files that can conflict with the new OS.

1) Turn off your device.

2) Press and hold the Volume Up button and the Side/Power button until you feel a vibration and the Samsung logo appears. Let go of the buttons.

3) You will now be in Android recovery. Use the Volume buttons to highlight "Wipe cache partition."

4) Press the Side/Power button to execute.

5) Use the Volume buttons to highlight "Yes."

6) Press the Side/Power button to execute.

7) "Reboot system now" will already be highlighted. Press the Side/Power button to execute.

This worked for my bluetooth connectivity issue! Appreciate the help. Hopefully this fix lasts.

It should. Like I said, it clears potentially conflicting system files and should be done after every software update (One UI version change).

I did all steps above and still having connection problems with my headphones and vehicles!

I completely unpaired everything deleted my headphones from the Bose app itself from my phone, deleted and reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings, factory data reset everything, and still having the same problems. I can't get my phone to repair with my Ford f250 at all. Even after deleting it from the car and phone. It will find it and then I will try to click on it to pair it ( at that point a code is supposed to pop up and pair) and it says connection failed every time. Sometimes after I had done the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth setting reset, I can get it to connect to my Dodge journey. But that is if I go out and start the car for the day. After I go somewhere and turn the car off and then go back to the car again I cannot get it to reconnect.

I'm also having issues connecting to multiple bt devices including my car. I've found that if I restart my phone, everything works great for a time, and then slowly becomes unable to connect. I use a lot of Bluetooth devices for work and personal stuff. This is a major issue for me.

I tried and wiped my cash, but the problems still exists. It actually worked once after I reset the cash and then has not worked properly since.

It will auto connect every now and again. I reset my wifi and Bluetooth still having issues. Android needs to fix with a patch.

I have had nothing but problems with ALL Bluetooth devices since one ui7 update. Sometimes I can connect other times I have to reboot my phone. Its only been a week and I'm about ready to buy an apple device (I hate apple).

I have reset all network connections, 3 or 4 times, wiped the cash 3 or 4 times. Today I cant connect to my buds 2. This is getting ridiculous. Shame on Google for android 15 and shame on Samsung for forcing an update that has more or less broken my phone.
