My s25 ultra has been hosed after the 8.5 update for one UI in operating the phone I would connect to my Ford Sync s y n c I would connect to my Ford Sync s y n c system when in the car. The actual connection to the system where's your Bluetooth but I also connected to the electrical system for charging purposes only. Strange interactions with my phone's messages started occurring. Now my entire Android system is **bleep** up. I get frequent hang Ups with system apps and other apps that seem to for some reason become Frozen. I would encourage folks who use Ford sync systems especially Circa 2019 to avoid plugging their phone in directly to the power system because there is some kind of bug in the interaction there. I was not using any Android auto application but just Bluetooth at least I thought I was. Now I have a **bleep** up system and can hardly do anything with the phone since the apps continue to break. The only way I was able to create this entry was using an audio entry format with a keyboard system. I need help please.

I did get a brief response that fundamentally suggested that I could do without android auto which I could so I deleted it from my system I've tried to refresh the system without Android auto in it but it has not fully corrected the problem I'm having with the system routines . Does anyone happen to have a suggestion about how to go back to normal function of the updated 8.5 what's 295 Ultra let me say that again xs25 Ultra. Yes I am still using audio input instead of my keyboard.

Sounds like your issue is with the Ford sync.  Perhaps you should contact Ford.  Maybe they did not update their head unit software - maybe they consider a c. 2019 model not worthy of a software update.

Actually I have no problem about continuing to not use the Android auto app within the Ford sync system in fact I wasn't using it intentionally at all my connection with the audio in the car was via Bluetooth it was really the connection to the power system that triggered a potential connection with the Android auto software in the car it wasn't something that I had actually configured nevertheless even after not being in the car I still have serious crashes with the app starting stopping samsung members stops the one you I have stops I'm getting serious crashes all the way around and right now I am using audio for the from the keyboard to be able to make this entry because I cannot actually type in an entry I'm using the members app without crashing the Samsung members app so right now what I'm trying to figure out is how to get smooth operation with the system even though I'm not connected to anything at all other than my hand holding this **bleep** phone if anyone has any insight advice help I certainly would appreciate it thank you

So your phone won't connect to your car via BT at all?  The car's BT connection and Android Auto are two separate functions.  Most cars, circa 2000 have a physical USB port that activates Android Auto (which does not have to be used, it's just in standby til you turn it on).  If you need to keep your phone powered while driving, you should use a charging plug in what used to be the cigarette lighter port (now called the auxiliary port), or use the USB port that is not dedicated to AA.  Incidentally, you do not have to have your phone connected to BT to use AA, unless you plan on using AA via BT (not all cars have this functionality).  You should be able to connect your phone via BT irrespective of any AA usage.  Have you tried connecting to the car's BT while the phone is in safe mode?  Safe mode only loads Samsung/Google apps and network connectivity.  If you have no issues in safe mode, something third party is causing the issue.  

Have you tried having your car and phone "forget" the pairing and the tried to re-pair it, or tried resetting either the wi-fi and BT connections or the phone itself (last resort if nothing else works)?
