Blue tooth issues with Galaxy S9 since Android 9 update

[chuck1118]

Hi -
I'm new to the forum. I updated my Samsung Galaxy S9 to Android 9 and now my bluetooth features do not work with my Ford Sync and LG Tone Infinitim bluetooth headphones. Music will play but i can't skip a song, go back and play previous song or repeat a song or "stop" music from the connected devices. Anyone having the same problems? Hope Android fixes this if it is an issue everyone is experiencing.

Hi, and Welcome to the Forums!
Let me see if I can get you in the right forum.

Moved to S9.

My s9+ is working fine with my ford sync.
Try to unpair and remove the devices then re add.

Finally fixed it! Had to go to Settings>Device Care>Battery. Under Optimization, Spotify was listed to put to sleep immediately. I turned this option and all works just fine! I had this issue only with Spotify and this was my fix. I'm guessing if this is happening with another app you can change the setting for that also. Hope this helps!
