When my Airpods are connected to the iPhone and I make/receive a call, I'm getting no audio, despite the fact that the Airpods are clearly selected as the audio output.
If I switch to iPhone sound, I get the audio through the iPhone earpiece. If I instead end the call, all other audio resumes in the Airpods.
Is this a known problem/limitation of the Airpods? Have I missed something while setting them up?
iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2
I got my AirPods a month ago and have been frustrated this whole time that they would not work for phone calls. They worked beautifully for Music but when I made or received a call, the caller could not hear me and I could hear them. I tried everything on the internet. I decided to double check if my Fitbit was in anyway interfering with my AirPods ability to make phone calls. Turns out that when I turned off “all day syncing“ on the Fitbit App and I unpaired my AirPods and then paired them again....they have worked seamlessly for both music and phone calls. I think if you have any other Bluetooth devices on your iPhone or a Fitbit like me..these could cause interference with making a phone call. Check those blue tooth connections and disable them if needed.
I’m still experiencing this issue. Renders my AirPods useless. What’s the fix?
I tried this, worked for me for a day then stopped working completely. I think the problem may be related to the proximity to other iCloud devices that are enabled for AirPod, like iPad and Mac.
Are you flipping kidding me?! I have been tearing my hair out for weeks freaking out and this guy just solves my pain points in one swift sentence. Bravo my dude. Thanks!
Go to Settings/Bluetooth. How many devices show as "connected"?
I have 2 devices connected, three if I connect the AirPods. They work fine for music and everything else; they only stop working if I am on a call.
Literally just open your Tile app and disable Bluetooth within the app specifically. AirPods resume call functionality immediately
gfeich does not have a Tile app or Tiles. See post above mine.
Wow dude! Thanks, I was getting upset. Incredible how did you figure this out!?
I updated iOS to the current version and it solved the problem.
Do you have an Apple Watch?
I do have an Apple Watch.
Does the problem go away if you put the Apple Watch into Airplane mode?
perfect. thanks.
just suggested to Tile to implement a "BT off while AirPods are active" option in the settings of the Tile App. Good solution?
Seth1904. I Love you x Such a simple solution. Thank you.
Hallelujah ! This one has been driving me insane. Thought it was hand off. Farkn Tile app. The other fix is just to kill the app so it is not running and just start it when you need it.
