    <description>&lt;SPAN&gt;I have a Z fold 6, and after the last security update, I've had issues with Bluetooth connecting to anything. I thought performing a factory reset wooing correct it, but no luck with that. I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue and if anyone have figured out how to fix it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P style="margin: 0;"&gt;Hello, Welcome to the Community. We understand how frustrating Bluetooth connection issues are.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style="margin: 0;"&gt;A couple of things we recommend after updating your phone is to clear the cache partition through the recovery menu.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;To get to recovery mode:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;- Turn off phone&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;- Once off, hold down volume up and power buttons simultaneously&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;- When Samsung logo appears, release power button BUT KEEP HOLDING VOLUME UP until the recovery menu appears&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;- Use volume buttons to navigate down to clear cache (NOT CLEAR DATA/ FACTORY RESET)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;- Use power button to select.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;If the Bluetooth continues to connect and disconnect, then try resetting the Bluetooth settings.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;From the home screen, swipe up to open the menu.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Tap Settings.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Tap General management.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Tap Reset.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Tap Reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Tap Reset settings.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Tap Reset.. After the reset , you will need to reconnect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P style="margin: 0;"&gt;A third step to try is testing the phone in Safe Mode to see if an app is interfering with the Bluetooth connection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062983/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062983/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style="margin: 0;"&gt;As a final step, perform a complete backup and factory reset of the phone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style="margin: 0;"&gt;If the phone is unable to maintain a Bluetooth connection after all troubleshooting is complete, service is recommended. You can use the following link to find a list of service centers in the U.S. that can do the repair:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/location" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/location&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;or contact customer support at 1-800-726-7864.&lt;/P&gt;
