They connect for no apparent reason when you put them in the case. Airpod users are increasingly encountering this issue.
There is a charging case included with the Airpods. The Airpods will work with any phone, whether it’s an iPhone or an Android-like Samsung, after they’re removed from the case.
It is only when the Airpods are taken out of their casing that they can connect. When your Airpods connect while they’re in the case, it’s a problem.
When your Airpods are in their case, your phone thinks they’re out of the case, which is why they’re connected. This indicates that there is an issue with the case.
If you keep your Airpods plugged in while they’re in your case, they’ll drain your battery and eventually break down.
Today, we’ll talk about what you can do to prevent this from happening in your circumstance. You’ll need to check your phone, of course, in case that’s the source of the issue.
If you believe you’re the only one dealing with this issue, think again. You don’t have to worry about it too much as long as you take care of it before it does any lasting harm.
When I put my AirPods in their case, why do they connect?
When your Airpods are in the case, they should be able to tell the difference. A device will be able to connect to them if they think they aren’t in the room.
After being placed in the case, they should be able to detach from each other. Because you won’t be able to listen to the audio on your external phone or Bluetooth speaker, it can be annoying
While in their case, dirt may be clogging up your Airpods’ connection. As a result, dust and other debris have collected on the wire that connects your Airpods to your case.
If they are unable to identify your Airpods as a device, this will lead to confusion.
There could be a problem with your device’s ability to connect, in which case it won’t be able to distinguish between items in the case and those that are not.
This can happen if your Bluetooth connection isn’t working properly. It is critical that you verify the Bluetooth connection in your system’s settings. You’re going to learn how to accomplish this from me.
This problem can be caused by a malfunctioning iPhone, Android, iPad, or Mac device, so make sure that nothing is wrong with your device. Just to be sure, I’d perform a hard reset on whichever device you’re using.
A Problem With charging
One of the most likely causes of your Airpods’ inability to disconnect is an issue with their charging. If your AirPods are running low on battery or aren’t recharging, this could be the cause of the problem.
Make sure your AirPods are completely charged before using them. While the case is closed, they may connect and disengage from your phone at random if they don’t have a full charge.
If your charging port isn’t working properly, your devices won’t charge as quickly. The charging port should be free of any debris. Clean this region with a toothpick.
It’s also possible to have charging issues if you’re not using a certified Apple Charger. Your charger must be genuine so that it can give your case with enough power to charge it completely.
The more worn out your AirPods get, the more likely they are to develop issues like these. I found that the battery life of my AirPods was decreasing. Charger problems increase as the battery life decreases.
AirPods should be replaced at least every three years if possible to ensure that they are current and free of connectivity and charging issues like the one I had.
Turn Off and On Your AirPods Again
The best approach to fix any problem with your Airpods is to reset them. As a result of doing so, you are essentially returning to their previous state.
When your Airpods are still in the case, any settings that may be causing them to connect will be reset.
When it comes to fixing problems related to connectivity, resetting them is the best way to do it.
You’ll have to go into your Bluetooth settings in settings to get them back to default. Before performing a factory reset on your Airpods, I suggest erasing all traces of them from your phone.
In order to reboot them as a machine Your Airpod’s name will appear on the right-hand side of the screen. Afterwards, select “forget device.”
Open the lid and press the back button for 15 seconds until the light changes from white to flashing amber. Then place both in the case.
When they begin to flash amber, they’re reprogrammed. Afterwards, you’ll want to press the button down again until they appear as a phone device on your screen. Now that you’ve reconnected them, you can proceed.
Randomly connect to a phone using the AirPods.
Even when your AirPods are in their case, they can still connect to your phone. Especially if you’re on the phone or using other headphones or earphones, this might be a nuisance.
There is a software issue with your AirPods that is causing them to randomly connect to your phone. It happens to the majority of them, so you’re not alone in this.
Performing a factory reset is the only option to fix this software issue. Later on, I’ll demonstrate how to accomplish this. The fact that your AirPods keep connecting to your iPhone or Android device at random could be due to their age.
If the problem persists, I’d suggest visiting an Apple Store.
Even if you’re covered by a lifetime warranty or AppleCare, this isn’t a big deal. It happens with most AirPods, and I wouldn’t call it a concern.
As Apple continues to develop AirPods, they should get better over time. This problem should be a thing of the past in the near future, thanks to advances in software development.
Restart Your Bluetooth Device
A quick reboot of your Bluetooth will solve this issue. To keep your AirPods from falling out of the case, they use Bluetooth.
If your Bluetooth isn’t working properly, you’ll need to perform a factory reset. Turning it off and back on is the only way to accomplish this. If you want to turn it off, there are two options.
Setting it up is the first option. To enable Bluetooth, navigate to the Settings menu and select Bluetooth from the drop-down menu. Please keep in mind that this method only works with the iPhone. Android and iPad users should be able to figure it out.
Using your control centre makes this process much more efficient. By swiping down from the top right corner of your iPhone, you may open the control centre.
cellular data, wifi, and aeroplane mode
Swipe up from the bottom if you’re using an older version of the app.
Reset Your Network Configuration
Your iPhone’s network settings include everything pertaining to the device’s ability to connect to a network. This is presuming you’re using an iPhone, of course. If you don’t have an iPhone, you’ll want to try one of the alternative options.
Consider the fact that all of your Wi-Fi passwords and Bluetooth connections will be wiped out before attempting this procedure.
Please go to your Settings and select the General option in the drop-down menu. Once you’ve arrived at this page, select Reset Network Settings from the drop-down menu.
Here, you’ll be asked to enter your password in order to finalise this reset of your password. Don’t worry, it just takes a few seconds to complete. Your iPhone will shut down and the Apple logo will appear on the screen for a short period of time.
I want you to put your Airpods back in their case while music is playing after you’ve reset them. When you put your Airpods back in, they should no longer connect.
Listen for a little sound. Your issue will persist if they rejoin while still enclosed in the case. When resetting network settings, be sure to rejoin them as this will remove them from the network.
Remove the Airpods from their case and clean them.
You may need to do a thorough cleaning of your case if you haven’t done so recently. For some reason, everyone remembers to clean their Arpod cases, but forgets to clean the Arpods themselves.
You must have a case for your Airpods in order for them to work properly. It’s possible that your Airpods won’t be recognised if they’re unclean.
To begin with, I want you to shine a flashlight into your case and look around. This is to make sure you have everything you need to do the cleaning.
Get some rubbing alcohol and dip a cotton swab into it to get rid of the wax. Because rubbing alcohol evaporates so quickly, I don’t want water damage to occur to your case.
Using cotton swabs, begin by wiping down the area where the copper placements are. Make sure the cotton bud is completely free of wax before continuing cleaning.
It’s time to get some tissues and push them down into the area where the most of the dirt resides. It’s possible that water damage to this component could be a significant problem.
Start Your iPhone by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds
You may have a problem with your phone if your airpods continue to connect to the case. This is presuming you’re using an iPhone, of course. The best way to fix any problems with your iPhone is to perform a hard reset.
Force restarting your phone is a simple method that involves turning it off and then back on. To bring up the slider, hold down the power button for at least three seconds.
Swipe this slider to the left when you first see it. Now press and hold the power button until you see the Apple logo appear on screen. If you’re using an older model iPhone, this method will only work for you.
If you’re using an iPhone X or newer, you’ll need to press and hold the volume up button for three seconds while pressing and holding the power button.
You should reconnect your Airpods once your phone is back online. No worries, you won’t lose any data as this is simply just turning your force off and back on. The term “force start” is merely a designation.
Firmware update for AirPods
You can link your AirPods or AirPods Pro to your phone using firmware, if you’re unfamiliar with the term. It’s basically software that’s incorporated into the hardware.
To prevent your AirPods from connecting to your phone when the case is closed, this type of software should be updated automatically. This can cause issues if it hasn’t been updated in a while.
Before you begin, check to see if your iPhone, Android, or Mac is connected to your AirPods. Don’t worry, it’s really easy. On your phone or tablet, go to the Bluetooth settings and see if they’ve been connected.
To begin, you’ll need to see what kind of firmware is installed on them.
Take a look at the settings
Scroll ad Tap on General
Identify your AirPods, for instance by searching.
The current version should be displayed. Connect your case to your charger and leave it near the phone or other device they are connected to, and it should automatically update. Alternatively, you can manually update the app.
You’ll have to make do with this strategy for the time being since there isn’t a straightforward way to do it. Ideally, do this overnight so that you can check back in the morning to see if the firmware has updated. If it does, that’s fantastic.
Switch Off and On Again Your Phone
In general, restarting your phone is the best method to fix most AirPod issues. Restarting your phone fixes the problem of your AirPods not being able to detach when in the case.
To restart a device, all you have to do is switch it off and on again. In order for the software between our AirPods and the device to be able to reconnect and setup, we must restart our gadgets on occasion.
Keep your finger on the power button for up to three seconds until you see a slider to restart your iPhone. You can turn off your iPhone by swiping right on the slider. Holding down the power button will turn it back on.
Take your AirPods out of the case, put them back in, then close it to see whether the problem persists. This should just take a few seconds.
The volume up button and the power button must be held down simultaneously on newer iPhones, such as the iPhone X.
Just press and hold the power button on your Android device until you see the Power Off button, then release. To turn the phone off, press the.
Install the Latest Version of the App on Your Phone
If your AirPods keep randomly trying to connect when the case is closed then there may be a problem with your phone. It makes no difference if it’s an iPhone or an Android smartphone like a Samsung.
Update your device if it hasn’t been updated for a long to prevent this from happening. AirPods won’t work properly if your phone is running outdated software.
Connection troubles can occur whether you’re using an older model of the AirPods or the newer AirPods pro, even though both are made by the same firm, Apple.
The following steps will guide you through the process of updating your iPhone:
Go to the Preferences menu.
Click on General at the bottom of the page to learn more.
Select Check for Updates in the left pane.
common settings for the iPhone
To see if an update is available, look for the Update button. If your iPhone isn’t connected to Wi-Fi and has at least a 50% battery life, the update will fail to go through. You don’t have to worry about building a backup because updates don’t wipe your phone.
To do an Android software update, simply navigate to Settings > Software Update. Depending on the strength of your Wi-Fi, these upgrades should take no more than 10 minutes. For Mac users, the solution is at the bottom of this page.
While in their carrying case, see if your AirPods are still working.
As a device, put away your AirPods.
This is an excellent approach to fix any issues with your AirPods if you haven’t previously. It’s like telling your phone to forget about them, because it’s essentially telling your phone to stop remembering them.
This means that if your iPhone was the source of the problem, it can fix minor software issues it was experiencing while your phone was aware of them.
Settings and Bluetooth are the places you’ll need to go to remove your AirPods as devices. In order to proceed, you’ll first need to switch on your Bluetooth.
Your iPhone should show all the devices that have ever linked to it. This is where you’ll find each device with a blue highlighted I on the right-hand side.
There is an option to delete as a device by clicking on it. To confirm your selection, choose it and then click the pop-up button. Afterwards, you’ll want to reconnect your Airpods to your iPhone.
Bluetooth gadgets for iPhones
Open the case and put your AirPods inside. Till a pop-up appears on your iPhone, keep pressing the button on your case’s button until it does. Click the connect button to connect them again.
If you’re using an Android phone like a Samsung, you can do without your AirPods.
When using the case, the AirPods connect to the Mac.
If you frequently use your Mac with AirPods, this issue may be more difficult to fix. This is due to the fact that a Mac is a large piece of hardware.
This problem can be solved in the same way as a phone. Start by resetting the connection between your Mac and the AirPods by restarting your computer.
Using the Apple menu, select Restart from the drop-down list. A full reboot of your iPhone should take around 30 seconds.
During the time your Mac is rebooting, don’t keep your AirPods linked to the machine. The first thing you should do if they don’t disconnect is to update your Mac.
You may easily upgrade your Mac by going to the Apple Menu in the upper left corner of your screen. Now select “Software Update” from the drop-down menu. Click on the Software Update option in the window that pops up after you’ve tapped on the About This Mac button.
System Preferences has a search feature that lets you find out whether there are any new Mac OS X upgrades available. It should take no more than five minutes for your device to receive an update.
Check to see if your AirPods are still working once they’ve been updated. If not, you’ll probably want to stop by your nearest Apple Store.
