@NotrealJacebryanYT Was your car in BT pairing mode?

BTW, the name of your device, and presumably your real name, is in your screenshot.

Hello NotrealJacebryanYT, welcome to the Samsung Community! I understand your concerns with trying to connect your car to your device via Bluetooth. You can connect your Galaxy phone to your car in a variety of ways, such as, Bluetooth, USB or AUX cables, or the Android Auto app.

To connect via Bluetooth:

Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and your car. On your phone, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel, and then tap the Bluetooth icon. You can also touch and hold the icon, and then tap the switch at the top of the screen to enable Bluetooth. You may need to refer to your car manual or your stereo manual for precise Bluetooth instructions. Additionally, your car entertainment system may require software updates. Please contact your car dealer or manufacturer for assistance.

Here is a link to other ways to connect your device to your car: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshoot/TSG10001557/

Are all your BT devices erased from your car or your phone? If it's your car, I'd venture to say something went wrong with your car's BT. If it's your phone, yry resetting your wi-fi and BT networks after running a diagnostic on the phone. You will have to re-establish all your connections after doing so. If it's your car, see your dealer.

Have you tried resetting your wi-fi and Bluetooth networks? Settings/general management/reset/reset wi-fi and BT networks. You will have to re-establish all your wi-fi networks and BT pairings. You can do this on an as needed basis, rather than all at once.

This is an issue with ui8, it seems like it broke something and we weren't able to use our Bluetooth car stereos anymore. Most cars with Android auto worked but those that just had Bluetooth didn't.
The good news is that Samsung seems to have fixed this issue in UI8.5 because I'm running the beta and am finally able to use my Bluetooth car stereo again after months and months.

I, and millions of others, have had no issue with Bluetooth and paired devices since the update. I would bet Vegas money that those having the issue do not do proper maintenance on their devices, or something in their settings or configuration is interfering. Of course, this could be something that only affects S25 devices. You should put in an error report.

Then you would lose all your money buddy. Just because you did not have this issue does not mean it is not widespread throughout Android users or that others are somehow less competent than you.
You can find reports on the reddits for every manufacturer that updated the Android 16 and many reports here as well.
I have putting in error reports since the very first beta for ui8 to no avail and now, with the UI 8.5 beta, it's working perfectly again.

Reports on reddit are not error reports to the developers. Error reports are the ONLY way errors get addressed, not social media posts. Yes, all phones are different, and every user treats their phones differently, but there are millions of Samsung users and this issue is by no means affecting the majority of them, so it is not a universal issue.

People leave reports publicly when the direct reports are ignored. Believe it or not, others know how tech companies work.
Why do you keep doing this schtick where you come on here and condescend to people who are using the forum? I've seen you be rude to people constantly. Is this your passion?
