Xiaomi phones have also been suffering from an issue with Android Auto for the past few hours and now this app is causing issues on Samsung phones. It is precisely A UI 6 update based on Android 14 which prevents the wireless connection to Android Auto from working as it should.
One UI 6 is the latest major update brought by Samsung to over 40 Galaxy mobile devices. The first to receive it were the Galaxy S23 Ultra so that in the following days the rest could begin and thus enjoy a renewed interface or new experiences linked to the camera application; and an upgrade to Galaxy Enhanced-X to capture long exposure photos.
On the Google forums, some Samsung Galaxy cell phone owners have noticed that Android Auto no longer works over a wireless connection after updating to Android 14. The problem appeared just after this update at the end of November and was generated on mobiles like the Galaxy S22+, S22 Ultra, Galaxy A54 just like the different models of the Galaxy S23 series.

The report claims that the wireless connection is simply not working or that the connection is very unstable without it working effectively. Tech giant Google is already aware of the issue and added it to its list of known issues this week. Yes for now there is no type of solution provided by the companyalthough it seems that a fix could be applied via an update from Google, instead of waiting for Samsung to apply the patch with the solution in the monthly update it usually releases.
There is a possible solution and it is very logical: the use of a cable to connect the mobile phone with Android Auto to the car while solving the fault that prevents a correct wireless connection, even the one that may occur through the wireless adapter offered by some accessories.
One of the worst times for this type of failure to occur, especially due to intensive use of the vehicle to visit family or friends on these important dates like Christmas. Pending receipt of an update, depending on 9to5GoogleAt the moment the only way to solve this problem is to use the direct cable to the vehicle’s USB connection from the cell phone.
