Hello Nothing Community,
I’m having a recurring issue with my Phone (2a) and my car’s Bluetooth stereo. Every morning, I enter my car, and the stereo prompts me to pair my phone. Once I do, everything works perfectly until a few hours later when I re-enter my car. At that point, the stereo again asks to pair, as if it has forgotten my phone. Here’s what I’ve tried so far to resolve this:
1. Cleared Paired Devices on Stereo: I removed all previously paired devices, including my old phone and my wife’s phone, so the device list is completely empty. No luck—issue persists.
2. Paired Manually through Bluetooth Menu: I re-added my phone as a new device through the Bluetooth settings. Still facing the same issue.
3. Checked Android Auto Settings: Everything seems normal on my end with Android Auto settings on the phone, but the issue remains.
4. Tested with Other Devices: I paired my friend’s Samsung Fold with the car stereo, and it worked flawlessly. The stereo remembers the Fold, and the Fold still recognizes my car. I also tested CarPlay with an iPhone, and it works perfectly with my stereo.
Conclusion: The only device with this pairing memory issue is my Phone (2a). It seems like something specific to this model or Bluetooth setup is causing the problem.
Anyone else is having a similar issue?
