Bluetooth issue?

[beri]

So on my S8 I have my Gear S3 connected but it keeps dropping every once in a while and doesn't reconnect, or if I go out of range and back it doesn't reconnect. Does anyone else have this issue or know of any fixes? I already unpaired and reconnected, I also factory reset my Gear S3 and same issue.

Thanks

Ive noticed greatly reduced range with the S8 and my Gear S3, thats my only gripe, mine looses connection much sooner (shorter distance) than my S7E did, but it always reconnects

I haven't noticed any distance decrease with my s2 classic. I actually feel as though my range has increased a little bit. But it always reconnects when it gets back in range.

Totally unscientific but when I leave my desk at work, my S3 signals a disconnect at approximately the same distance down the hall. My Level U Pro on the other hand has become unusable with serious popping and crackling noises. It's not because of the new phone since it did the same thing with my S7 Edge.

My S8 initially connected to my 2015 Subaru Forester on the first day, but now shows No Device whenever I try to connect.
The phone shows Car Media as available but will not connect. My old phone connected very easily but quite often stopped playing music. I am ready to return the phone over this issue.

Happened this morning to me. Bummed.

I can go about the same distance with my Gear s3 as I did on the Note 5. Some cases can cause problems.
