My Bluetooth is not working

[Parth489]

My SAMSUNG S22+ Bluetooth is not working from the morning and after updating the security patch. What steps should i take as i also been to the SAMSUNG service center but they also not very helpful. What should i do!?

1. Basic Reboot

Restart your phone first. (Yes, simple—but often effective after an update.)

Then toggle Bluetooth OFF > wait 10 sec > ON again.

2. Forget and Re-Pair Devices

Go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth

Tap each previously connected device and choose Forget

Try to pair again fresh.

3. Reset Network Settings

⚠️ This is the most effective step and safe to do. It resets Wi-Fi, mobile, and Bluetooth settings.

Go to:

Settings > General management > Reset > Reset network settings

Confirm and reboot your phone.

Try pairing Bluetooth again.

4. Wipe Cache Partition (Highly Recommended After Updates)

This clears leftover system junk that can break Bluetooth.

1. Turn off your phone.

2. Press and hold Volume Up + Power until the Samsung logo appears.

3. Use volume buttons to navigate to "Wipe cache partition", then press Power to confirm.

4. Select Yes, then reboot.

🔄 This won’t delete personal data and often fixes post-update bugs.

5. Boot into Safe Mode

This helps check if a third-party app is interfering.

Press and hold Power > Tap and hold Power Off > Choose Safe Mode

In Safe Mode, try turning on Bluetooth and connecting.

If it works, the issue is caused by a third-party app (e.g., antivirus, battery saver, etc.)

6. Try Developer Option Tweaks (Advanced)

Go to Settings > About phone > Software information > Tap "Build number" 7 times to enable Developer Mode

Now go to Settings > Developer options and:

Toggle Bluetooth AVRCP version to 1.4 or 1.6

Toggle Turn off Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload

Reboot and test Bluetooth again.

7. Wait for Next Patch or Roll Back (if desperate)

If none of the above work:

Report the bug in the Samsung Members app (this helps push fixes faster).

Samsung sometimes fixes this in the next patch, so watch for updates.

If you're tech-savvy: you can downgrade firmware using Odin, but it's risky and voids warranty unless done carefully.
