My bluetooth has dropped connection to my speaker a few times so I went to clear the other Bluetooth cache and realized I can no longer access this from system apps. Did we lose that capability?
But can confirm Google 100% is who took the option away to "simplify Androids" but they made them more complicated and degraded the operating system by about a decade or more this is honestly a hassle but apparently in developer options you can hit "turn off A2DP hardware offload" and apparently that's supposed to help it I did it to mine it dont clear the cache but it's supposed to help it operate better and stop the wild behavior and it's hit or miss if it will work but if anyone wanted one more option there it is you have to shut it off and restart the phone and leave the A2DP off I'm trying everyone been researching this for many many months trying to find any fix I can hopefully this helps someone
It may help it may not hope it at least makes your Bluetooth usable again I'm bout ready to jump ship back to Apple Android ruined the Bluetooth ability but years before this they took away to 3.5mm jack almost ringing money grab to me like they forcing the phones to mess up to make you upgrade faster and more frequent just opinion though
S23 working fine with bluetooth until the software update this morning (1/28/25), which led me down this rabbit hole. **bleep** kind of recourse do any of us have?
Bluetooth started to automatically get turned off as I was using my Samsung Galaxy buds. Sometimes it'd get turned on again automatically after a minute and reconnect. When I press the Bluetooth logo to make a connection, it becomes lightly colored, as if being in the process of being switched on, but then nothing happens and it goes back to "off".
When I go to settings > apps > Bluetooth I can't delete the cache or anything else, because the buttons are greyed out as described by others.
If this problem persists and I have to buy a new phone, it won't be a Samsung.
