Some Galaxy phones report Android Auto problems after One UI 9 update
Some Samsung Galaxy owners report Android Auto problems after updating their phones to One UI 9, Samsung’s Android 17-based software.
Drivers describe stuttering, failed connections and unexpected disconnections across several Galaxy models, while other users say the feature still works normally.
One reported test found Android Auto worked on phones with One UI 8.5 but reproduced the problem on a Galaxy S24 Ultra after it was updated to One UI 9.
That points to a possible link with the update, but the cause has not been confirmed.
Google acknowledged a Galaxy A55 owner’s complaint and said it had been forwarded internally.
Android Auto connection problems have also been reported before, including before these One UI 9 complaints.
No fix has been announced, and it is not clear whether Google is investigating a new issue or an older one.
