Some Samsung Galaxy S23 users facing Android Auto connection issue

Samsung launched the Galaxy S23 series phones with plenty of advanced features, the latest internals, and the most up-to-date software. But some users of Samsung Galaxy S23 phones are encountering the Android Auto connection issue.

The Korean company introduced the S23 phones on February 1 and announced to start of their first sale on February 17. Meanwhile, some famous tipsters and tech bloggers have already had their hands on the phones.

These early buyers have reviewed the smartphones and shared their best and worst features as well as the problems that they are facing on the devices. Notably, many users have reported the same Android Auto issue on their Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+, or S23 Ultra.

First spotted by 9To5Google, the Galaxy S23 series phones and their Android Auto function are not working well together. The users are facing connection problems while trying to sync with cars wirelessly.

As per the report, when customers are syncing their phones with cars through the Android Auto feature, Bluetooth pairing automatically fails after the vehicle is disabled and missing permissions that prevent the phone from connecting properly.

Despite the users’ report, 9To5Google has mentioned that they have also run into the same problems with Android Auto on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. They said that the phone is actually not connecting to their AAWireless adapter.

Moreover, the users have further reported that the issue continues to appear even after trying different troubleshooting methods, such as USB debugging mode, changing the default USB configuration to transferring files/android auto mode, and swapping out different USB-C cables.

The exact reason behind this problem is currently unclear. We even don’t know if this is a bug of Samsung Mobile or Google’s Android Auto app. However, it is expected that either of the companies will resolve this issue on the S23 devices with the upcoming phone/app updates.
