Samsung Phone as a Key Issue

[Ford Motor Company]

Second day in a row that I got this email and related Fordpass ALERT.
I'll continue to ignore at my own peril.

Checked with the team, you are good. They enacted the emergency action over the weekend and this was the normal process following up after. Though, we may want to reword the notifications based on your experience. I'll share that back.

So, for those of us with a Samsung phone (S25U) that didn't get the notification, does thst mean that particular model is considered unaffected by the "Take 3 Issue" ?

Oddly enough my range issue only seemed "fixed" for a day following the reset/removal/add back in of PAAK.
I'm back to having to hold my phone up to the drivers window for it to work.

Fold7 here and no notification and no change in PaaK function or reliability. Haven't tried manually reading PaaK but might try it over the weekend.

Update performed on my s22 phone PAK seems to work, but on board scale is not working anymore. After pressing scales button Android Auto appears on screen. Anyone else?

We (S23 & S24) got this alert in early October and redid the Phone as a Key, and yesterday we got the alert to redo it "Urgent!" again. Anyone else getting it again?

Nothing here ( S25U )
My WAL works pretty well, unless you linger in the truck too long after shutting it off, in which case it'll just ignore you walking away.

My approach / unlock never works with the phone in my back pocket, and always work if I hold the phone in my hand. You'd think I had steel hips or something.

No, S24u

PaaK worked fine when I had my S21 FE on our Mach-E, it has never worked once since I got my Pixel 8 Pro in July of 24. I just carry the keys with me. My Lightning XLT doesn't have the feature.
