One UI 7 Android Auto Connectivity

[Mc-Daddy]

I upgraded to One UI 7 on April 23 on my Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Since then, I have noticed that Android Auto connects through WiFi (network: PROJ53bc5b). My car has wireless Android Auto.

I have only noticed this due to connectivity issues, i.e., should I step away from the car with the phone - when I come back it doesn't auto connect (leaving the car on/ or radio on)/ or I disconnect WiFi (on the phone) - then Android Auto also disconnects or general connectivity issues where it just doesn't connect (I suspect that's when I get to the car whilst my WiFi is off - but I could be wrong).

Anyway, trying to manually connect doesn't work! It ends up asking me to connect via USB to start Android Auto.

I have even had to reset the connection (uninstall and install Ford Sync as well as impair and repair the car.

Just checking if any of you have experiencer this after upgrading to One UI 7.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 

OS: One UI 7

Car: NextGen Ford Ranger (Wireless Android Auto connection).

On my S23 after updating to UI 7.0 it stopped to connect to my Dacia Sandero. It's a shame because I just bought the car and I was happily using Android auto for a week then I got the new update and now the phone is seeing the car,but the car is showing "No device connected" message. I hard restarted the car media and also my phone... but nothing. My wife's iPhone is connecting to the car without any problems.

Okay, I reflashed my phone with the latest Android 14 official firmware because I don't have warranty anymore and the problem is still here. My old Galaxy A52 connects to the car without problems.

In my case UI7 ruined voice dialling. I drive Mazda CX-5 (2022), I use AAWireless dongle and Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, and everything was fine until the update. 

After the update each time I use voice dialling function ("Call X"), AA disconnects and won't connect until I finish the conversation. Normally, even if there is a disconnection due to some interference, AAWireless would swiftly reconnect by itself. 

The problem doesn't appear if I use the phonebook or if someone calls me. 

I tried clearing cache, disconnecting the phone and the car, and reconnecting, updating every applicable piece of software on the phone, even downgrading AA version. To no effect. The problem might disappear for some time, but then it reappears.
