Fixing Samsung Galaxy S5 Bluetooth Problem

A quick search on Google about Samsung Galaxy S5 Bluetooth problems and you would get hundreds of results. Majority of them are complaints from owners who have a hard time connecting their new phone to their car. Others say they cannot keep the BT connection active between the car and the S5.

More often, if the problem is obvious and widespread especially when it is a hardware issue, Samsung is quick to acknowledge it. If such is the case, you could expect an update to fix the bug or whatever it is that causes the problem. Unfortunately, the company didn't acknowledge that the new Galaxy S5 has an issue with Bluetooth. That said, we cannot expect a patch, although it's obvious many are suffering from it.
