AirPods Pro Gen 2 Incomplete Setup in Find my Devices

Hi! Yeah I did that too and the incomplete setup message went away. I keep my AirPods in the little watch pocket in my jeans and so they are pretty much always close to my iPhone. However right now in Find My it says they were last seen two days ago 13 km away (when I used them last). I am wondering, do they only tell their location if one or both earpieces are outside the case? So if you loose or misplace the case with the earpieces inside, the tracking is useless?

yes the tracking is useless if you turn it off find my on airport, the same thing happened to me and I learned how to live with this bug ...... PS I tried everything and the support team doesn't say its a bug they will always say restart your phone and reset your Airpod ...... nothing happened I have iPhone 14 ..... so

I had the same issue just now..

Perhaps you could try turning off find my on your phone, then turning it back on.. Then open find my, and somehow my airpods pro gen 2 finished set up. Hope this helps

I just had this issue for the last two weeks. Did all the steps above and still no fix. Just sat here for the last 30 minutes restarting my phone, forgetting the airpod 2's reconnecting, resetting everything up, and for some reason like the 4th time forgetting the device and reconnecting it, it just worked again.

Seems to be a bug and no idea why it just decided to show up and connect on the find my airpods again because I did the same exact steps over and over.

I had the incomplete setup problem from the start, and no workarounds helped at all. Apple took them in and they were replaced. I connected the new ones in seconds and no problems at all after that. Suspecting others have faulty ones too because Apple gear normally just works.

Been having this problem for months, just followed the suggested fix, and notice that when I turned off find my in the AirPods settings, this actually fixed the problem.

They are now showing up in find my app, without the Incomplete setup error...despite not having that toggle switch turned on under the AirPods settings menu.

Weird bug for sure

The solution from October 5th actually worked! I just had to be patient and do it multiple times. If it doesn’t work even with Apple support I will suggest buying news one and getting your so deserved refund.

This didn’t work for me. The issue seem to be that I have my AirPods 3, also on the Find My network. This was causing some confusion with my new AirPods Pro 2. I found by removing the AirPods 3 from find my network this corrected the issue with the AirPods Pro 2.

I had this error so every time I connect to a windows computer I see this on my iPhone but if I hard reset them everything is good until I reconnect them with my windows laptop. I think there is a bug with the windows and AirPods. Hope that helps

same thing happened when I reset my AirPods. Brand new, the worked fine. After reset, kept getting this message in find my. Apple’s setup page didn’t get me anywhere, and resetting the find my settings didn’t do anything either. But I did get it to work. Here’s what I did:

I first disconnected and reset my AirPods. Then I hard restarted my phone(without connecting any AirPods). Then, I went into find my and deleted my old saved AirPods from my Apple ID. Then, after connecting my AirPods, I listened to some audio for a couple minutes then checked find my. And there they were, working perfectly fine.

hope this helps!

This remains broken. The ability to Find My AirPods Pro 2 is inoperable. Turning off Find My in the Bluetooth Settings just removes the error because it uses the AirPods themselves as the location beacon. Sounds will play out of the AirPods when pinged (if connected to bluetooth, out of the case) which is almost inaudible.

I would like the case to function as intended and allow me to locate using the U1 Chip. I paid a lot for this produst, as we all do for Apple products, and it's never worked as intended. I have followed all troubleshooting steps including resetting Network Settings which is highly disruptive and inconvenient as it deletes stored WiFI settings.

Update:

I did get it to disappear with the above actions and ONE extra step...

After completing the above 4 steps, I opened the case under Blutooth Settings and the AirPods settings appeared, Find My was ALREADY enabled... I just **** the case and THEN when the setting disappeared, I hit Show In Find My and the Find My app opened and the error was gone. Not sure why we are censoring the word CLOSED. **** = CLOSED. Whatever.

Remove them from FindMy

Disable FindMy on iPhone

Pair AirPods to iPhone

Turn FindMy back on

With AirPods case CLOSED, go to Bluetooth Settings and hit "i" to open AirPods settings, then when the "limited" settings appear OPEN the case and the "expanded" settings will show up. Change NOTHNG. Close the case and hit Show in Find My and it will take you to the Find My app and the normal options should appear.

Thank you to the above from SecretCactus.

So I’ve reset my AirPods again just try out of these other methods, and all of them are pretty hit or miss(none of them ended up making the u1 functionality work). Honestly, this should be reported as a bug to Apple, and they should definitely release a firmware update to address this.
