Some Galaxy phones on Samsung's newest software are having trouble linking to car screens through Android Auto, and no fix has been announced.
Some Samsung Galaxy owners are finding that their phones do not work well with their car screens. The trouble involves Android Auto and One UI 9, Samsung's newest software. According to Android Authority, there is no clear fix yet.
Android Auto is Google's system for putting phone apps on a car's built-in display. Drivers use it for maps, calls and music. One UI 9 is the layer of software Samsung puts on top of Android to run its Galaxy phones. The report says the two are not getting along for some people.
The problem shows up on some Galaxy phones running One UI 9, not all of them. The material does not say which models are hit, how many people are affected, or which cars have the issue. It also does not describe exactly what goes wrong beyond trouble connecting.
If your Galaxy handles maps and calls in the car, it may be smart to hold off on updating to One UI 9 until you see that other owners are not running into this. If you have already updated and the connection fails, affected owners may simply have to wait for a software update.
If your Galaxy runs your car screen, wait on One UI 9 until it is clear others are not losing their Android Auto connection.
