Samsung’s One UI 7.0 beta update has brought significant changes and new features but has also introduced a problem for Android Auto users. Many beta testers report that the system often disconnects while navigating. It defaults to the car’s home screen, disrupting the user experience. The Korean firm has confirmed the problem but a fix isn’t in sight yet.
Samsung confirms Android Auto issues on One UI 7.0 beta
Several Samsung users have reported issues with Android Auto on One UI 7.0 beta. The system disconnects during navigation, reverting to the car’s home screen. Users have to manually restart Android Auto. After a bunch of reports, Samsung has now acknowledged the issue, attributing it to potential incompatibility between the One UI 7.0 and certain versions of Android Auto.
According to the company, the issue will be resolved with the official version, which arrives next year. Perhaps Samsung’s engineers will address the problem sooner. Galaxy users expect a second One UI 7.0 beta update next week. We will let you know if it fixes this Android Auto bug.
Meanwhile, Samsung requested user feedback during the beta test of the upcoming software. To submit an error report, open the Samsung Members app on your phone. Then, go to the One UI Beta Program and select Beta Feedback. If possible, include relevant info, like screenshots or recordings of the issue. To collect accurate log data, submit the report within 15 minutes of reproducing the issue.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary workaround to this problem. All you can do is install the latest version of Android Auto. Maybe clearing the app cache and restarting the device will help, though chances are low if it’s a compatibility issue. Stick around for more about Samsung’s One UI 7.0 update. The stable version arrives with the Galaxy S25 series in January.
