Since the update devices cannot connect to my S21 Ultra. I have to unpair the device,  restart my phone and try to pair multiple times before it works just that once. 

I have to repeat this any time I want to connect to that device daily. 

I've read some issues with WhatsApp, but I do not have that app on my phone.

One of the worst updates to ever hit my phone. 

 

This is my first comment here, even, I logged in just to complain about how egregiously awful my experience has been since the latest OneUI update. 

 

My phone has automatically connected to my car and my shower Bluetooth speaker for YEARS now. 

 

Suddenly this stupid f*@$cking update rolls out, and I have to reboot my phone once a day to get it to pair with familiar Bluetooth devices. 

 

And the volume slider is rounded now, making it less precise than it was previously, which has really been irritating me, and of course there's no way to revert, and Samsung forces these updates on me with no way to skip or opt out of them. 

 

Genuinely infuriating. Get your sh#^!t together, Samsung. I'm literally a week away from looking into jailbreaking or emulating my phone back to a functional state.

 

This is extremely disappointing and appalling that such a fundamentally broken update would be rolled out like this with no urgency in addressing a clearly widespread issue. 

 

My next phone will be non-Samsung if this keeps up.

I'm having all the same issues with my Galaxy S21  since the recent update. I believe that this is a corporate manipulated issue to force us into upgrading phones I've had zero issues with this phone up to this point

I can't believe there's been no comment from Samsung in here yet. If this isn't addressed very soon, im afraid to say I will probably upgrade a new *gasp* IPhone.

I'm having the same issue with my Z Fold6 (factory unlocked). Except it started happening one day weeks after the update. Factory reset and restoring backup did not work. Confirmed that everything still connects to other phones, just not mine. Everything updated too.

Same issue. I've reset my whole phone and nothing.

Is Samsung trying to become apple with this latest update, because it just made everything obsolete and incompatible.

I'm getting the same issue with my S21 Ultra.... buds 2, Ford sync.... just got new watch. Galaxy 7 ultra... asking to reset... All my years from the S3 to this now. By far the worst update in history. Rebooting your cell is a band-aid.

Try this...

Yes, please follow the below steps and check if that works.

Unlike a master reset, wiping the cache partition does not delete your personal data.


Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Power key.
When the Android logo displays, release both keys.
An 'Installing system update' message may show briefly before the Android Recovery menu options appear.
Press the Volume down key several times to highlight the Wipe cache partition.
Press the Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight Yes, then press the Power key to select.
When the process is complete, the Reboot system now is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.
