Why Won’t My Galaxy Buds 2 Go Into Pairing Mode?
For the most part, the Galaxy Buds 2 should enter pairing mode automatically when they are in their wireless charging case, especially if you’ve never connected to another device before. You can also enter pairing mode manually by holding the touchpads on the earbuds for a few seconds. You’ll know they’re ready to pair because you’ll hear a constant noise, a beeping tone, emitted by the buds. If you are having trouble entering pairing mode or connecting to other devices, you may want to disconnect them from any current devices. You can also try turning Bluetooth off and back on again on the device you want to connect to.
Where Is the Pairing Button on Galaxy Buds 2?
There is no dedicated pairing button on the Galaxy Buds 2 because the process is designed to be seamless. If you need to enter pairing mode manually and the case method is not working, you can press and hold the touchpads on the earbuds for a few seconds, with them in your ears. When they enter pairing mode, you’ll hear a noise in the earbuds letting you know it’s okay to connect a new device.
