Exactly the same for me.
I use it for the majority of my journeys.

It was the only reason I invested the £900 for the Comfort Pack, so I could have my phone as the Digital Key.
I will be gutted if I lost this function and can't get it back.

Its also one of the reasons I'm stretching out my Samsung S8 and not upgrading to the S20.

Boggles the mind how Honda, Kia and other brands can have both while a luxury brand can't figure it out or not offering it.

just returned from the dealership. They had no clue how to do the registration and referred me to BMW NA customer service. Unfortunately, BMW NA reiterated what was already expressed in a previous post. We can't register our previously compatible Samsung devices; only iPhones. Wonderful.
On top of all that, my NFC card stopped working just shy of 8 months after taking delivery.

Could your card have perhaps been disabled from the settings in the car?

We tried reactivating several times. The SA ordered a replacement card.

I have 07.2020 and Samsung digital key has gone.
Not sure on the build of your car, but for me this was not the case.

I now have 07.2020 Software with working Android Auto, and I can still use my Samsung S8+ as a digital key.

It should work just fine with 07/2020 software. They just not allowing you to extend the service once its expired.
Connected app is showing that it can be extended but the button isn't available when logged into the BMW store
