I have a Galaxy A8 and since the update in April my phone no longer scans for bluetooth. I rarely can connect to my car, my fit bit no longer pairs, my bluetooth doesnt pick up for our house bluetooth speaker. I am beyond frustrated. Is anyone else having the same issue? I have taken my phone to the local Samsung store and it shows no issues on their system. It says my phone is fine.
Various ANDROID site's echo this issue since 9-Pie unfortunately. Some found by doing a "Side Sync" style update on the "older" Bluetooth/WiFi device's helped. Other's claimed to get Bluetooth from their carrier's to fix it. Basically 9-Pie & the fast approaching "Q" are like a casino right now: bright, flashy, promising... But what guarantee do any of us $500-15,000 later we didn't get a Huwaei?
I have this same issue as well and I've contacted customer service and tried everything the told me too and it's still not working. Things show up under Available devices to be paired and I try pairing and nothing works. My bluetooth wont even scan. ugh so frustrating!
