Fixing Samsung Galaxy S22 Bluetooth Pairing and Playing Bugs 

Thank you! Resetting the network worked for me. It was one thing after another with this S22 having upgraded from a S10. Appreciate the help!

holy crap dude! Your first suggestion worked! I can't believe it! After all the time I spent doing all kinds of stuff to my new phone! Then your number 1 suggestion, the easiest one, worked on my S-10 Note +! Thanks buddy! You rock! Blessings to you and yours!

Dude you just fixed my 2 hour long headache. Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to explain all of this and make a video. I've tried all of the suggestioned several times, updated my phones software and also spent over an hour on the phone to Samsung support trying to troubleshoot it, but to no avail. My problem is that my phone connects to my cars head unit (VW Amarok 2016 model) for calls and contact sync but won't connect for 'Audio', the toggle tries to switch on but then immediately turns off. I suspect it is a bug in Samsungs software or firmware that makes the new model phones incompatible with older head units or other BT devices. The Samsung tech said that they have had quite alot of similar complaints and that they are working on fixing it, so lets hope that find the bugs and resolve them, before I have to go an buy a new head unit....

Just came to say thank you the very first tip fixed my problem! I've been driving in silence for days and it's awful

in the Bluetooth storage the cache and data are greyed out, how can i make them avail? Thanx

I'm unable to clear cache in the Bluetooth, storage menu it's greyed.

Thanks a million. I have been struggling with this issue ever since I bought my s22ultra. The reset network settings worked. Truly appreciate 🙏

Audio would turn off or stop/start when phone was locked, using my Enacfire Bluetooth headset. JVC headset worked fine. I changed the Bluetooth Audio Codec to AAC and the problem went away. Great video, thx for the help.

Such a life saver. Samsung owes you a million thanks. awesome video

Thanks for the video. Never would have thought of resetting the network connections because I did not know that the setting existed.🤔

THIS WORKED! For my s10+ It was cleaning the cache and memory that did it for me! I have liked, commented and subscribed. You the best, tank you so much! ♥♥♥

My bluetooth was connected to my car, and I was able to hear the callers but my voice was not going through. Resetting the network worked for me, thank you!

Thank you very much. I had some issues when I did a Smart Switch to a new android device. Most of my apps have had to be reinstalled as well, but luckily the data carried over. Its no surprise that the bluetooth stuff got wonky too. My Skullcandy Earbuds wouldn't show up at all, but after the reset, they pop up. (Samsung earbuds are way better by the way, less glitchy on noise canceling) Thanks again man.

5:12 My clear data and clear cache buttons at the bottom are greyed out and do nothing when I tap or long press them???

This worked for the Note 10 plus thanks so much sir. May your year be successful and blessed. 🙏🏽

Reseting mobile networks worked like a charm. Thank you so much for the video!

Thanks very much for this vid. I had to reset all my network settings which was a pain, but I finally got my headphones connected. Thanks again, I'd looked everywhere for a fix.

Resetted network setting and it works!! Thank you

Thank you. In my case, I needed a network reset. Again, thank you.

Thank you!!! Phone wouldn't "find" my uconnect until I reset the Bluetooth like you recommended. I have the S22.

wow what a great explanation of connection issues, you fixed my problem, well done mate

Problem I have is both my Windows PCs will pair with my S22 Ultra but once done, the S22 simply says 'couldn't connect' - it's the same with both PCs. I've tried all the suggestions but nothing works. Don't suppose anyone has any further suggestions, please?

Yup, good old turning it off then back on! Totally worked! Thanx for the reminder!

I'm having the same issues when I connect to speakers and car audio. It stops and plays. It doesnt do it a lot but music is not constant. My biggest problem is with the bluetooth keyboard lagging. On my note 9 the keyboard was perfectly responsive. On the 22 ultra, it lags, its slow and it skips letters. Very frustrating cause I use it for work. I've tried everything on this video except resetting to factory mode. Just cant believe you'd have to delete so much to fix one simple bluetooth issue. Unbelievable. Thanks for your help.

Thank you so much for these tips! I've been trying to connect my S22+ phonebook with my 2017 Chevy Equinox because for some reason, it can't connect the phonebook, but it connects fine for playing music and making phone calls. I'm hoping these tips will work!

Thanks for the video! My S22 decided to stop pairing with my Jeep's Uconnect. I had to reset the network's Bluetooth to fix the problem

I had to change the bluetooth audio codec to AAC in the developer options. Thanks for the help

Thanks, resetting the bluetooth did the job. Now i can connect to my Garmin Fonix again :)

The app that is only labeled Bluetooth was found but under Storage, the option to clear cache and data were both grayed out not allowed to clear cache and data.

Yes!! I hate this! I can't connect to my car, tv. Printers, nothing! So thank you for this video. I plan to try it out.

Accidently unpaired from my car. So I had to think like my car is a bluetooth headset. I tried the first step and it worked so hopefully when I go back to my car, I'll change my name on my phones bluetooth and will get it reconnected. Thanks!! I was going around my phone trying to look for a way. Hopefully when their done doing the updates to the one UI by the end of this year they will get the phone to have those options more easily available to access or the new android update. I'm using the S22+.

I have a brand new S22+ with a strange problem. When I use bluetooth headphones, and someone calls or texts me, the ringtone and notification sound come through the phone speaker rather than the headphones. My S9 that I just upgraded from, did not do that. When BT headset was connected, all sound was piped through headphones. Is there any way to fix this? I've tried multiple bluetooth headsets just to make sure it wasn't the headset.

Resetting the Network worked! Thank you!

Thank you! Omg, I was getting so frustrated on my bday. 😂💪🏆😎

Network reset worked for me...I think I love you! Smashing that subscribe button😍

My phone connects to my car perfectly fine, but when I make a phone call through Bluetooth I can hear the other person perfectly fine but they can't hear me at all. It's like my mic isn't even turned on when I talk. Any ideas? It does this on Bluetooth and plugged in through the USB on android auto

THANK YOU! I only had to reset my bluetooth to make if finally pair with a new set of buds! Yes, I'll have to pair my other devices again, but a small price to pay.

It worked for me by resetting network. Thank you!

Simple reset worked for me Dude thanks

Thank you so much! The microphone of my S22 suddenly stopped working when paired with my car. And I wasn't smart enough to simply reboot it.

Thanks. Clearing the cache and data did the trick.

Thank you resseting network worked bro.

Anyone else get super warped, low, distorted sound? Turning my phone off and on again always fixes this but it's a hassle to do every time I connect to a Bluetooth device

thank you just needed a restart to connect car for s23 ultra 🙂

My phone toggles off the audio when it auto connects to my car stereo, but allows calls and everything else. I have to manually switch the toggle over for audio every time I turn the car back on. Any ideas on that? I've paired and unpaired, deleted the cache and all of that. Thanks.

Hey I have tried just about everything, here. What do I do if I am unable to clear cache and data from my bluetooth system app? For me these options are shaded out, and unavailable. Is there something I need to enable first to make such changes? I am already in developer mode

Thanks, shutting s22 off and restart works!!..thanks again

Big thanks for helping me pair my Bluetooth headphones this video helped out me out a lot! Especially the resetting of the Network! Thanks again!

So quick Question. My husband has a s22+, we use spotify for our music. However when he goes to listen through his Lenovo earbuds, it still plays through the phone. We have a verizon phone. Im just at a loss here D:

I wish you would warn people what the repercussions of resetting your networks is. My Samsung 4 watch has to be totally reconfigured again which is probably going to take an hour to download all the apps and crap I have to do. Even after I reset the network my Bluetooth still doesn't work. Be a little more careful when you're telling people to do stuff so haphazardly.

Thanks for the advice

When I get to Storage in Bluetooth, neither the Clear cache or Clear data is highlighted-Gray out---Why???

How about Bluetooth turning off when turning on wifi? Or vice versa?

Thanks!

mine the bluetooth connect but I have sound only on the right side of the buds but if i connect it to my pc both side work good, how to repair this.

Great video! Thank you

Unfortunately restarting the phone did not work. Going into the Bluetooth app under systems, I am unable to clear the cache or date either. My major problem is I can no longer see the option to pair new device under Bluetooth. My airpods pro would no longer connect with my phone so I unpaired them and now cannot pair them. It appears that I cannot pair any new device since pair new device option does not show up. Is there a cure to get that back?

Problem solved... Thanks so much ❤

My samsung s22 ultra wont let me clear the cache or change to AAC. I'm guessing this is what i need because my car is a 2017 and has older firmware for bluetooth. Is there something else I can do?

4:40 What do I do if the bluetooth app isnt there?? I use a s22 ultra

my wi fi and bluetooth reset button isnt hightligting so i cnat re set the same with clear bluetooh cache it wont highlight for me to reset

my problem is different ? it's has moments that the music sounds garbled and it's always within the first 30 seconds

On my new S21 when I pair the phone to my Windows PC Bluetooth, I get connected, and I can establish a call. But, the Phone Link app tells me that the phone is not connected, and I can't access the phone's screen, download calls, et. I notice in Device Manager when I pair the phone that two drivers pop up in Device Manager under "Other Devices", which means they are not the right drivers I presume. They are named IcService_New and SMS/MMS, both with ? marks on the icon. I have Googled this a lot tonight and can't find anything on it. Any ideas? Thanks for your thoughts.

Unable to clear cache or data in system apps. New phone. 845kB cache and 787kB data showing but can't click clear for either. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if it will help with my s22 n chromebook with Bluetooth but it worked with another s8 I have as a spare thanks

My S22 Ultra bluetooth connect to my car bluetooth and contacts names not appear and no photo for the contacts also appear, can you help

When I connect to my truck it plays the music I have on Samsung music folder automatically ..How do I stop that?

So ive got a base galaxy s22, and i bought the galaxy buds pro, and I literally cant even have my phone in my pocket because it skips and loses signal. Ive done all of these tips with no help

none of this is working , the only thing I can do is get a new phone, because it pairs and then drops

I think my bluetooth problem can't be helped. I tried everything and nothing works... It just works for 10-15 mins then goes back to being cracky for hours.

I don't get voice directions from my samsung galaxy s22 when my blue tooth is connected!!

My phone works with everything in the car except calls. if I call someone I can hear them but they can't hear me. I then have to turn off Bluetooth on my phone and just talk to them on speaker phone. same issue with android auto. if i ask google assistant to "call husband" it looks like it's thinking and then nothing happens. But everything else works perfectly such as Spotify and maps. Anyone else have this issue? Tried with my husband's phone and same thing is happening. I have gone though all the troubleshoots, took car battery out for a few hrs as well. I have an appointment to bring my car to the dealer next week because idk what else to do to fix this.

My problem is a bit different. I have no issues syncing Bluetooth to other devices, BUT while connected to my car's Bluetooth, I get NO NOTIFICATION SOUNDS. My phone will vibrate, but no audio. The phone works well, but when I use voice to send a text, it does not take over from the radio. I have checked everything, I think! Galaxy S22 Ultra

i don't have authorization to clear the BT cache or data, it s greyed... :/

Thanki Very much 😇

Thank you!!!!

Resetting network settings worked for mine

I think my phone is locked so I could not clear data or clear cache. Bummer

Vivo works properly even at 20m. S22 lags too much. Why did samsung nerfed S22's bluetooth to the point of uselessness?

Please help to clear the cache it's greyed out

Help! It won't ont let me clear cache

My headphones will not show up on Bluetooth, they showed up and worked fine yesterday and other devices work fine.

Wow! Turning it off and on does work. It turns out my wife never powers down her phone!

Unable to clear catche and ...grayed out

I can connect my Bluetooth headphones but it uses my phones microphone instead of the headphones microphone

On my s22 ultra I had no issues, on my s23 ultra my headphones only automatically connect when I have calls enabled, I only want audio. When I turn on my headphones I get a message on the phone that they couldn't connect, I have to tap on them in the Bluetooth menu. Anyone having that issue?

When I go to clear cache for Bluetooth the clear cache and data buttons ate blacked out.

I can pair and connect. But extremely annoyinly sound coming through phone as well. Rebooted phone×3 no fix. Unpaired and repair 5× no fix. Remove all other paired devices. Unpaired repair 10 times. No fix.

Thanks

My Bluetooth is working fine, not able to enable calls

Since resetting the Bluetooth settings, now it doesn't pick up any devices! Not my watch, no speaker or even my car 😡

Clear data and clear cache is grayed out

I have that problem. After Android 12 update. I may have to factory reset my phone. Well, i need to update anyway. I will buy Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. My phone is old.

I can't connect to Spotify

What if none of these things fixed the bluetooth issue? I can listen to music with my headset and in my car. But phone calls dont have audio in or out.

Each one of my earbuds is paired separately

Yea none of them worked so I think I have a faulty phone time to get a new one

Absolutely the worst Samsung phone ever, Bluetooth issues, phone disconnects from network constantly! 4th phone same issues.

Unfortunately, none of this worked for me, but there is definitely some great info here, and I've seen reports of these things working for many. My problem is that bluetooth audio keeps cutting out intermittently, but only when WiFi is enabled. As soon as I turn off WiFi, audio is clear and uninterrupted.
