Galaxy A51 Bluetooth Issue

    Hey all,

    I have a work phone (Galaxy A51) and a personal phone (Note 10). The Note and my previous phones have never had an issue with Bluetooth in my car, but for some reason the A51 just will not stay connected. It's fine for a few days, then pairing fails unless I set it up again as a new connection. It's getting to be a real pain.

    I'm guessing it has to be an issue with the phone as like I said, I'm not having the same issue with my current or previous phones (all Samsungs) in the same car. I cleared the Bluetooth cache on the phone once before but it still continued to happen. Also doesn't seem to matter if I have that phone set as the priority connection, or if I only have that phone with me and not my personal one.

    Is it a known issue or are there any suggestions for fixing it? Cheers

    Have you checked to see if it is running the latest firmware?

    Yeah, I've had the phone for several months now so it's updated to the latest firmware several times. Doesn't seem to change anything.

    Edit: I may be thinking about Software rather than Firmware. I'll check for firmware.

    The issue happens, is it failing to pair after getting into the car?
    When paired does it ever drop connection?
    Have you removed all paired devices in the car, including the note and A51?

    Doesn't drop when paired. Will fail to connect after a few days and after starting the car. I removed the note from the paired devices yesterday, and a51 (which I'd only re-paired yesterday) failed to pair again on my second journey this morning. Seems to be failing to connect more the last few weeks, usually I would have gotten a week or two, now it's every other day.
