AirPods are tiny, portable, sounds great, looks premium (you pay premium too) and connects so quickly. But there could be trouble in paradise when your AirPods start to make patchy sound or worst no sound at all or maybe you need to reset the AirPods. It’s rare to run into a problem, but if you do, you pretty much want to solve it as quickly as possible. So here’s a quick guide on how to solve AirPods Problems.
Many a time, a quick reset of AirPods can solve innumerable problems.
Here’s how:
AirPods have a great standby time. So if you forgot about them for a while and recalled them all of a sudden; chances are your AirPods still have some charge left. The AirPods has 5 hours of listening and 2 hours of cellular talk time when they are fully charged. Similarly, you get 24 hours of listening time with your case. But how can you tell, if they need charging or will work for a few more hours? The answer lies in both the AirPods and the device you are connected to.
You can easily check for AirPods battery status on your iPhone, iWatch or iPad. And if your device is not nearby, you can do so using your AirPods case. The tiny LED in your case has coloured lighting to indicate different modes.
The battery life of an AirPods depends on multiple factors like how long you have been using the pair, or how loud you listen to music. Sometimes a quick reset can do the job. If your AirPods last anywhere between 3 to 5 hours then you probably have no immediate issue with them. It’s highly likely that you are listening to music too loud or your AirPods are old. If not, it might be time to replace your AirPods. Apple offers battery replacement for $49 for each pair.
When the AirPods stop charging; it’s crucial to check if nothing is broke. And it’s easier to check for external factors first, before moving towards advance solutions.
Try using the lightning cable with other devices, same with the adapter. If they are working ok individually, you can move to the next step.
Check if the charging port is clean on your case. You can use the sim pin to remove the dirt or debris lingering inside the port. Additionally, check the inside of the case; make sure it is clean as well. You might also want to clean your AirPods pieces individually.
If everything is dust-free and still charging issues persist, you might want to contact Apple support or visit a service centre.
If the AirPods are dead, and you do not know whether its low on charging or having other issues, connect it to the charger. Let the AirPods charge for 5 to 6 hours before using. If it still does not turn on, you will have to contact Apple Support.
The first thing to check is whether your AirPods are clean. It is easy for an AirPod to accumulate dirt because it sits inside the ears. If cleaning does not help try using the AirPods on other devices; if they still do not work, it may time for a replacement.
Note: If the problem occurred for the first time, you might want to charge the AirPods first and check for sound, or try to reset the AirPods before contacting Apple support or visiting the repair shop.
AirPods can maintain a connection for 100ft with an Apple device and 30ft with an Android, which is a good range so you probably would not have audio problems because of distance. However, thick walls can block the signal and even electronic devices like Microwave, Router or Vaccum Cleaner can mingle with the range.
If you have sound problems while Calling, you might want to turn the Wi-Fi on your phone during the calls. However strange it may sound, but Wi-Fi seems to be an obstacle for Audio connection.
If there is absolutely no sound on any one of the earpiece, you should check the AirPods have no sound section of this blog.
However, if your problem restricts to calls and you recently toggled your Microphone setting, you might want to re-check the settings. Chances are you may have set the AirPods to always right or always left for calling and forgot about it.
If you are facing problem connecting the AirPods with an Apple device; try putting the AirPods back in the case for half a minute and check back if they are working fine. If it does not help, toggle the Bluetooth on your device and manually connect your AirPods this time.
AirPods have proximity sensors that sense when you put them in your ears and take them out, which plays and pauses the audio source, respectively. If this is not working for you as outlined, you might want to check that you have the feature enabled. It is worth mentioning that this does not work with Android or PC.
Launch Settings on your iOS device and tap Bluetooth, then tap the (i) icon next to your AirPods in the list and make sure the Automatic Ear Detection toggle is on.
If it on and you still cannot get it to work then the next step is to make sure nothing is blocking the proximity sensor from getting an accurate reading.
Although the AirPods are not water-resistant officially; some online testimonies suggest of AirPods surviving from liquid damage, thanks to their Case.
In case of a similar experience, here are a few tips you can follow:
Hopefully, your earbuds survived it.
Just like your any other Apple device, AirPods are compatible with Apple’s rebranded Find My Service.
Follow the steps:
If you end up dropping your AirPods in sand or snow, and you are aware that it’s nearby; play music on loud to help you guide in finding your piece. To play the music, use your device to start playing music and increase the volume to full.
