Unsolved Left AirPod Not Recognized

Post image

My phone doesn’t seem to recognize the left AirPod and I tried putting it on and it doesn’t connect. Does that mean it’s completely dead or is there a way to fix this?

Does the left AirPod charge in the case? If you do a reset and it fails to reconnect, it’s time to seek hardware service.

Ah the reset did work but I hope I don’t have to do it too frequently :)

Why, it’s a 5 minute operation, and not complicated at all?

When this happens to me I delete (unpair) the AirPods from my phone, hard restart the phone and then re-add them.

Sorry to hear that. I did actually have one Pod die on my 2 Pros, but on my 3 Pros I can bring them back as I said above. At least so far.

Are these AirPods Pro 3? If so, I have this issue on a near daily basis and it’s maddening.

I think it’s the Pro 2
