I am not be able to pair using Bluetooth with my S8+ phone because of the recent update from T-Mobile with Samsung phone to firmware Samsung One UI and Android version 9. Anyone have similar problem with the same phone and os version?

Sorry on Verizon with no issues. Android 8.0.0. Samsung experience 9.0, no Samsung one UI.

I need to delete and re pair my phone every day.
Samsung note 9 TMobile, latest software.
When I get into the car in the morning the phone and car will constantly connect, disconnect and ask for the passkey approval.

Mine never connect, What is your UI and Android version? Can I revert my phone before the March 1st update? Google about the bluetooth issue on Android 9. Looks like lots of problem reported.

i figure it out. It is because my phone has Samsung Gear bluetooth on it that compete with sync the phone and contacts info. When I remove the Gear watch sync with my phone and just the car only, it works! I will figure out later how to sync with my watch also.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I have struggled with Bluetooth Contacts/Call History Sync problems since taking possession of our Tesla Model 3 LR AWD on 10/31/2018. My workaround was to Disable Contacts/Call History, which makes hands-free calling all but impossible. I had a Google Pixel XL cellphone, finally gave up and upgraded to a new Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but the Sync problem persisted. I performed a careful search of all 1000+ of my Google/Gmail Contacts for the "&" character and replaced it with "and" (or deleted the offending Contact) in every case, after a second pass today 5/6/2019 this FINALLY fixed the Sync problem after nearly 6 months and 6 different Tesla Service Requests / Tesla Service Center visits. Note that the characters ,./()- are all perfectly OK, just the character & appears to cause the problem (and perhaps the unusual characters #[email protected]$%^*<>+= used in the contact title/name ???). You would think Tesla would fix this, they admitted to me that they have had many owners who have had this same Contacts Sync problem. I am running Tesla Model 3 Software Version 2019.12.1.2. 5c87371 (just installed 5/5/2019).

Thanks this fixed the issue for me to.
When using google just export all your contacts, do a search and replace for the "&" character and replaced it with "and", save the (different name), remove all you contacts and import back again.
