Fix incoming for OneUI 7 beta Bluetooth bug affecting Samsung Galaxy Buds, Android Auto, and more

If you’re a Samsung Galaxy user testing the One UI 7 beta and grappling with Bluetooth gremlins, you’re not alone. Reports of connectivity hiccups, random disconnections, and general weirdness have been pouring in since the beta’s release. And the culprit? Likely Android 15.

Samsung Galaxy users are reporting a host of Bluetooth-related issues with the One UI 7 beta. From Galaxy Buds cutting out during workouts to car audio systems refusing to cooperate, the glitches have been driving users up the wall. Galaxy Watch owners, meanwhile, are finding themselves unable to answer calls on their watches, with audio mysteriously routing to their phones instead. Even the Wearable app’s customization features seem to have thrown in the towel.

The issues are varied and pervasive:

• Gym dropouts: Galaxy Buds lose connection repeatedly during workouts.
• Car chaos: Bluetooth audio in cars toggles off seemingly at random.
• Silent calls: Watch calls connect but leave both parties listening to… silence.
• App annoyances: The Wearable app’s customization features are on strike.

While these problems are frustrating, they’re not entirely surprising. Android 15 has already been linked to similar Bluetooth woes on Google Pixel devices, suggesting the problem might stem from the operating system itself rather than Samsung’s hardware or software.

The good news? Samsung’s One UI Beta team has acknowledged the issues and assured users that fixes are on the way. Whether it’s call audio not working or intermittent disconnections, Samsung is working on solutions. While no specific timeline has been provided, beta programs often see quick updates, so relief could arrive soon.

Samsung’s issues mirror problems reported by Pixel users, who have also experienced stuttering connections, random dropouts, and other Bluetooth oddities since upgrading to Android 15. This broader pattern indicates that the operating system itself might be the troublemaker. Whether it’s new code creating conflicts or older Bluetooth tech struggling to keep up, Android 15 clearly has some kinks to iron out.

Bugs are an inevitable part of beta testing, and the active participation of users in reporting these issues ensures that the final version of One UI 7 will be a smoother ride. While the current glitches are inconvenient, they’re also an opportunity to improve the software for everyone.

With acknowledgment from Samsung and updates in the pipeline, these issues are likely to be temporary. Until then, hang tight and maybe keep a pair of wired headphones handy.
