r/airpods on Reddit: Airpods not recognized by Android phone anymore
April 29, 2022 -
They worked fine until yesterday, then all of a sudden they wouldn't connect with the phone anymore. They still connect fine with my MacBook and iPad.
I tried unpairing them, resetting them, restarting phone/bluetooth/wifi, everything. Now they don't even show up on the phone when scanning for devices. I see a device that's just showing up as an address (1C:1A:C0:6A:8A:7C), not sure if that's the airpods, can't connect to that no matter what I do with the airpods case button. It's not showing anything called airpods when scanning.
None of the guides I checked mentioned what to do when the airpods don't even show up in available devices.
Any idea how to fix this and get them working with the Android phone once again?

Never mind, I figured it out. Turns out I wasn't resetting them properly. According to Apple's support page, in order to do so, you must close the case for 30 seconds, open it and keep the button pressed until it flashes amber and white again. I could swear it never did turn back to white when I tried resetting them previously, not sure why and not sure why it did this time. Anyway, when I finally got it to do that, my android phone was able to detect the airpods once again. Leaving this here in case it helps someone else.

Same thing I am experiencing. My airpods are brand new. It has never been used before. Unboxed and fully charged. It initially detected the airpods but couldn't pair. It is no longer detecting the airpods.
