Airpods Pro connectivity issue with Samsung A51.

[srpetkar]

Hello, 

I'm facing an issue with Samsung Galaxy A51 while connecting Airpods Pro with it. 

Does anyone knows how to fix this issue ?

Note My Airpods used to perfectly work with Note 9, S series, Nokia Android One series etc.

But while playing music, youtube, movies there is a lag. 

Note: I'm able to easliy make or recieve a phone call via airpods.

Thank you,

Sajjad Petkar

Well... generally there are two settings you can try changing when "fixing" Bluetooth, but both of them are just blind shots.

Anyway... enable Developer mode on your phone (Settings/About Phone/Software Information menu, tap 7 times on Build number). A new option called "Developer options" will be available at the bottom of Settings menu.

In this menu you can try 2 things:

1. Look for "Bluetooth Audio Codec", and change it. The Airpods Pro supports SBC and AAC (anyway, you can only select options that are supported by the currently connected headset, you can't go wrong). Once you changed it, check if you still have a lag.

2. Look for "Enable Gabeldorsche" option, and toggle it. This is the name of the new Bluetooth stack of Android, rewritten from scratch. Currently not enabled by default, and the old Bluetooth implementation is used, but you might want to give it a try, it might fix your issue.

Hi

I am wondering if you got this issue sorted. I changed phone recently to an A51 and my Airpods won't work with it. They will work for calls but not for audio. They work for a few seconds and then audio stops working. I have the solution from Skandigraun below but it hasn't worked. I had a Samsung Galaxy before and they worked fine.

Thanks for any help offered.
