Google says a fix is already rolling out for Android Auto connection trouble on Samsung phones running One UI 9, so car screen drops may soon end.
Google has a fix on the way for Android Auto problems on new Samsung phones. The trouble affected phones running One UI 9, Samsung's latest software. If your car screen has trouble keeping your phone connected, relief should be coming.
Android Authority reports that Google is already rolling out a fix for connection problems between Android Auto and Samsung phones on One UI 9. That software is built on Android 17, the newest version of Google's phone system. The report says users on One UI 9 and Android 17 can look forward to glitch-free Android Auto connectivity.
The problems hit Samsung phones running One UI 9. Android Auto is the tool that puts maps, calls and music from your phone on your car screen. When the link between phone and car breaks, those features can disappear while you drive.
Google says the fix is already rolling out, so no action should be needed at first. Still, a few simple habits may help:
The material available does not say how long the rollout will take or when every phone will get the fix. It also does not list which Samsung models are affected or what exactly caused the problem. Those details may come as the rollout continues.
If your Samsung phone on One UI 9 keeps dropping off your car screen, a Google fix is rolling out, so watch for the update.
