Bluetooth phone connection bugs

Often, when I make or receive calls on my Samsung fold 5 phone, I connect, hear them perfectly, but they can't hear me. I turn off Bluetooth on my phone and, voila, they hear me fine on my phone held up to my ear--really convenient while driving. Then I'll park, go shopping, and it works fine again--until it doesn't.
Also, sometimes the audio gets really robotic and choppy. I'll quickly toggle the Bluetooth off then on and it restores everything to normal again. This typically happens when wirelessly charging. Anyone else experiencing this? Tips?

Yes I've experienced very similar issues. Mine happen even when not charging and toggling Bluetooth on and off in the car fixes it but it is very distracting and potentially unsafe to mess with while driving ...

Yep, happened all the time with me on my 2023 AT. Service couldn't figure it out because it was completely unpredictable and not replicable. Not correlated to wireless charging (almost never used it) Completely removed and reconfigured bluetooth multiple times, reset system multiple ways, kept hoping a software update would fix it. Samsung phone here too, thought it might be the phone, but didn't have the problem with any other car. Finally got a 2025 AT and that solved it!

This just started happening to me as well with my Samsung S24

I wonder if any iPhone users are experiencing the same thing or is it just us lucky Android/Lucid bunch again?

iPhone user and phone calls suck! $90k for a car and I have to use headphones to make a call. Have paired and unpaired. No luck. I also have a delay with my passive unlock so maybe the cars signal is blocked somehow . I tried customer care and got nowhere.

The software in our 2023 Lucid AWD pure is absolutely terrible. Our 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is way superior. We listen to recorded books from our iPhone & sometimes the recording will come in on the Lucid, sometimes it won't, sometimes the Lucid will not even let my iPhone generate the recording on the phone so we have to sit there in absolute quiet. I get so frustrated with the antics of the Lucid software I want to sell it & take the $20,000 - $40,000 loss. We have been looking forward to getting a Gravity eventually but not any more. Some car company will come along with a SUV that gets over 400 miles range & is actually affordable and our Lucid is gone. How about Hyundai & Kia offering iPhone & Android compatability out of the box while Lucid twiddles their thumbs. What is it with Gravity availability, NCAS connectivity, android availability, software fixes & more?

Lots to unpack here.

Please avoid comparisons like this. They are against the guidelines and do not provide the value you think they do. Every car has benefits over others. Surely, the Lucid AWD Pure does things the 2019 Highlander cannot. It is not surprising the Highlander is preferred in some ways, as that is how cars work; *none* is perfect for everyone.

That’s why we avoid these comparisons.

Can you be more specific? I listen to audiobooks often; what app are you using? One thing I have occasionally found is that I need to start the playback from within the Lucid interface and not my phone sometimes, but otherwise it works fine - I use Audible, but also Plappa and AudioBookshelf (the beta app) without issues.

I certainly believe you’ve had issues, but that’s why I’m asking for specifics; might be something we can help with!

Okay. Sad to hear, but as above, no car is perfect for everyone.

Nobody is twiddling their thumbs. CarPlay works great on my Air. AA they’ve said is coming, but I understand the frustration.

There is no reason to assume Gravity will not have both, as they have publicly stated Gravity gets AA by September.

They’re building them. See the flyover videos for more.

Exists, and is up and running for Gravity. Air (at 50kW) will be up in Q2, but I’m assuming Q3 with gravity deliveries keeping everyone busy.

September for Gravity, sooner for Air, according to Lucid.

Uh, regularly and in the future? That’s the great part about OTAs.
