That\u2019s the frustrating situation some Samsung Galaxy owners are facing after installing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/one-ui-9-best-features-hands-on-3718782\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">One UI 9<\/a>, with reports of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/best-android-auto-apps-974891\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Android Auto<\/a> refusing to connect or repeatedly dropping connections. The complaints have now caught Google\u2019s attention, although the cause remains a mystery.<\/p>\n<p>The problem isn\u2019t limited to one Galaxy model. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/us.community.samsung.com\/t5\/Galaxy-S26\/Galaxy-S26-Android-Auto-stopped-working\/m-p\/3687635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Samsung Community thread<\/a>, a Galaxy S26 owner reported that Android Auto stopped working after updating to One UI 9. Re-pairing devices, clearing app data, and switching to a wired connection did nothing. Other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AndroidAuto\/comments\/1x4dj1o\/disconnects_on_android_auto_but_not_on_apple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Reddit<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Androidheadunits\/comments\/1x9ze0b\/gac_gs4_max_2026_samsung_galaxy_s25_ultra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">users<\/a> described similar failures, although some said Android Auto continued working normally.<\/p>\n<p>One particularly revealing report involved a Galaxy S25 Edge owner who tested other Samsung phones running One UI 8.5. Both connected successfully, but updating a Galaxy S24 Ultra to One UI 9 reportedly reproduced the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Google has responded to a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/androidauto\/thread\/475266963\/android-auto-stopped-connecting-after-android-17-update-%E2%80%93-galaxy-a55-5g?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Galaxy A55 user\u2019s complaint<\/a>, confirming that the Android Auto team received the report and forwarded it internally.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_2j\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Android Auto not working on One UI 9\"  alt=\"Android Auto not working on One UI 9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Android-Auto-not-working-on-One-UI-9.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>However, that acknowledgment leaves several questions unanswered: We still don\u2019t know whether an investigation is complete, whether these reports represent a known issue, or whether One UI 9 is responsible.<\/p>\n<p>Android Auto has been down this road before. Earlier complaints involved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-auto-bug-fixes-connectivity-3675800\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">wireless disconnections<\/a>, including on the Galaxy A55, long before these One UI 9 reports surfaced.<\/p>\n<p>Could this be an old problem resurfacing, or has Samsung\u2019s latest update introduced a fresh headache? We\u2019ve reached out to Google to clarify whether the company is investigating the complaints, if they\u2019re connected to earlier reports, and whether a fix is in the works. We\u2019ll update this article if we hear back.<\/p>\n<p>For now, affected drivers will have to keep troubleshooting a connection that worked before their phones got smarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sanuj Bhatia \/ Android Authority Add Android Authority on Google: TL;DR Some Samsung Galaxy owners report Android Auto&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":672625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[9640,14398,1711,61,60,202,573,6563,80],"class_list":["post-672624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-android-17","tag-android-auto","tag-google","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-one-ui","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=672624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/672625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=672624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=672624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=672624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
