Android Auto is a huge upgrade for a lot of car owners — when it works. Having access to some of the best Android apps, along with your notifications, right on your dash can be great, but it feels like we’re constantly hearing about new updates breaking some part of that experience. We just told you about the frustrations that some Samsung users have been having with Android Auto in their cars, and we’ve already got some good news to share.
The problem seemed to be popping up for Galaxy users who had just updated their handsets to One UI 9. Impacted users would find their devices unable to connect to their cars at all, or frequently dropping their connections. Not even switching to a wired connection seemed to do any good.
We found a whole bunch of similar stories telling versions of the same tale, and while it wasn’t definitive, One UI 9 sure looked like a viable culprit, with tests on some phones running One UI 8.5 not producing problems.
We knew that Google was aware of the issue before, with an account associated with the Android Auto team confirming reception. But now the company has reached out to Android Authority to share that a fix has been deployed.
A spokesperson tells Android Authority that the fix, which the company frames slightly more broadly as addressing an “Android 17 / One UI 9” issue, is already rolling out. It may not have hit your devices just yet, but Google says that “the issue should be resolved soon.”
That’s great to hear, and we look forward to seeing some of those One UI 9 users share that their connectivity problems have finally come to an end.
