 Google has already rolled out the final version of Android 8.0 Oreo for Pixel and Nexus users. Now people have taken to various online forums to register problems while connecting devices via Bluetooth, said to have come to surface after installing the latest Android version. Majority of issues seem to be facing issues while connecting to Android Auto. Notably, the Bluetooth problems appeared in the Developer Preview of Android Oreo as well, according to users who installed it.

“Since Oreo 8.0 I can’t even get Android auto to project at all in my car anymore. I used to just plug in the USB and the projection would start, now it just says I need a valid USB device instead,” said a user of Nexus forum.

“Using Android Auto app and connecting my Pixel XL bluetooth to my 2012 Chrysler 200 S Uconnect RHR, I started getting reboots while streaming Podcast with Google Music. This never happened before Android 8 released,” according to a user on Pixel User community.

People who’ve upgraded to Android Oreo are complaining of media content not displaying correctly via Android Auto app. Other issues include audio not playing, though the device is shown paired and outgoing calls being reverted to the phone’s speakers. For some users, Bluetooth is getting switching off within a really short period of switching it on.
