AirPod one side not detected.

My AirPods which I had bought in December 2016 is beginning to act up. As of a couple of weeks back, my left side AirPod doesn't get detected so only my right side has sound. I have to insert he AirPods back into their charger and lift them out a couple of times before he left side gets detected. Does anyone experience similar symptoms?


Also is there an assured way of getting my iPhone to display the battery capacity of my AirPods? Again, I have to place them in the charger, close the charger cap, open it up, lift out the AirPods a few times before my iPhone displays their battery capacity. Is there a less frustrating way to see my battery capacity?

Hello,


For your first issue I would suggest contacting Apple Support as they can provide some troubleshooting steps.



For your second question:

Check the charge status

You can check the charge status of your AirPods with charging case with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.

On your iOS device

On your iPhone, open your case lid with your AirPods inside and hold your case close to your device. Wait a few seconds to see the charge status of your AirPods with charging case.

You can also check the charge status of your AirPods with charging case with the Batteries widget on your iOS device. The charge for your case appears only when at least one AirPod is in the case.
