Recently I moved from Galaxy S5 to S8. For a few days it worked fine, but now the Bluetooth media audio won't play on Uconnect, only call audio is working. In the Uconnect settings on the phone the media audio button is OFF, and when I try to switch it on, it reverts back to OFF immediately. I tried unpairing, re-pairing, renaming the device, deleting the phone from Uconnect and adding it again, restarting the phone. Nothing helped.

Has anyone had a similar problem with Galaxy S8? Any ideas?

I have bluetooth problems with my Samsung too. I still sometimes get interference and weird noises during music playback - none of which existed with my Moto X. On researching this myself a few weeks back, Samsung phones are apparently a bit hit and miss. You need to keep tweaking various settings until they decide to work.

I recommend looking at the bluetooth settings in the phone and enabling media playback there, if this is not already done. There will be various access you can grant such as phone book, calls, SMS, etc.

Also, when deleting the phone from the car, delete the car from your phone's menu as well by clicking "forget". This will force the settings to return to default when you re-add.

Unfortunately I am tied to using bluetooth as USB won't work with Deezer! And I won't use the live services as the constant speed camera warnings are intolerable.

I have tried loads of phones and i get interference, crackles, hisses and pops...

So far i have narrowed it down to NFC and also wireless charging.

I dont use wireless charging but a friend does and has these problems when its in use...

I use NFC and if i forget to turn it off... it causes havoc with bluetooth.

Turn it off and see if it improves.

The audio quality is always superb in my case, no interference, pops or anything like that. When it works at all, that is.

Everything seems to be fine with the general Bluetooth audio settings in the phone. It connects with my JBL GO for both call and media audio with no problem. I'll try to tinker with some more settings tomorrow. This thing happened so out of the blue, after days of working just fine. I'm simply baffled.

Everything works fine for me EXCEPT reading out text messages is very much more miss than hit. I have no idea what the problem is, it will work for a few days then not work for a few months. Resetting phone and uConnect unit makes no difference. Messaging remains greyed out almost all of the time unless it's my lucky day.

I couldn't wait until tomorrow, so I did further digging, followed a tip from the Internet on wiping phone's cache partition and... it helped! Or maybe it was just a coincidence and I just caught the damn thing in a good mood. What matters is that it works now.

I own a samsung S8 as well. It recently got a new update from samsung and one of the changes is improvements to the bluetooth connectivity.

But once my S8 got updated, it no longer connected to my paired devices, so I had to un-pair and do the pairing procedure all over again.

I never had any issues with my 500x bluetooth, it works beautifully and the sound is loud and crisp. There is virtually no audio delay and I can talk for many hours with ease.

I've got a Nokia 8 which has just been upgraded to android 8.0 oreo and that's fine, as it was before (when i remember i havent turned off bluetooth).

Before that I had an LG G3 which I now use as a sat nav with the waze app, thats always been fine too.

Same here. I think most of the problems have to be phone related. Bluetooth in the car itself seems to be implemented rather nicely.
