After the lastes update galaxy buds are shot

[Anonymous User]

Hi.

Yesterday i updated my galaxy buds to the lastest software R170XXU0ATD2.

This morning i reseted them and repaired them with my pc and galaxy s10 plus and i have noticed few things.

The first is that the thouchpads are not working anymore, the left one worked briefly on my pc so i connected it to my phone since the right one was not working and now both are not working... if you touch them nothing happens and no touch sound is played.

The second is that they always had a tiny tiny buzzing sound in the background when listening to podcasts at min volume audible, now it has quite increased perhaps maybe due to the new sound algorithm...

Anyone experiencing this?

Thanks in advance

I just installed a new firmware (R170XXU0ATD3, previous was ATD2).

In my case everything is back to normal now.

<update>I talked too soon. After installing, the left earbud worked fine, and the problem moved to the right one. After deleting data (cache and data) of Galaxy Wearable and Galaxy Earbud applications and rebooting the phone everything seems to work fine now</update>

checking for update now

If it does not work (or the problem has moved to the other earbud), clean data of "Galaxy Wearable" and "Galaxy Buds" apps, unlink the Earbuds and restart the phone. It worked for me.

installing now, i checked it and it weights 0.1mbs more than the previous one. I think that they are pushing  out the full ATD2 update with 0.1 mb of code lines to fix the bugs, hope it works......

for me it worked, sadly the buzzing is still there i have always had it since i bought them but everything is working.

If you all confirm that the issues has been fixed i will proceed to assign solutions to everyone

I just registered here and had almost identical issue since updating my Buds.

Touchpads are dead and won't respond like before. Also after just a short time listening to music they make the faint beep (like the connection sound) and simply stops.

i am using them for lessons and battery life looks like it is shot too...

Also don't you hear a background buzzing?

I can't tell on either of those other issues, my buds just pause whatever is playing after a few minutes. I can't simply tap to resume it and have to unlock my phone to then restart what i'm playing.

Do you mean battery life of your phone or the headphones cause I'm noticing my phone battery seems to be draining at an alarming rate and I have a note 10+ that's 4 months old

Same here for the left touchpad. It's totally dead now and I can't get it working. I unpaired the buds, restart Samsung S10 network configuration, reinstall application, reset buds... To no luck. Time to call Samsung.

Yeah.. mine is the right..

No increased buzzing sound for you?

For me it's both touch pads not working.

The ambient sound is strange too. Turning it on gives no change to sound at all, it is especially noticeable if I toggle between on and off. 

I also from time to time get the beep in one ear bud, although it usually stops after a few beeps. 

Hopefully there will be a new update coming out soon that will get things back in working order.

Fingers crossed on a new update soon!

No, "only" touchpad and ambient sound on left earbud.

I've talked with technical service. They do not have this as an issue, but I see many people complaining. I'd expect a new update soon, hopefully. 

[FlorieJoy]

Fingers crossed on that update then!

Hi everyone, I had the same issue as well. I upgraded the software of the phone and then everything worked again.

Hope it will work for you two !

I am already on latest one ui 2.1...

The buds touchpad is shot since it does not work on the pc too

[ManuelBN]

My app is already updated 😞

[Anonymous User]

It is not the app.. it is the new firmware...

I do not have the probelm of disconnection but i have the right pad not working, a buzzing background sound and overall worse sound quality...

Guys open other posts too to get visibility

I seem to be having a different issue, on the wearable app it says put in both earbuds to be able for me to access ambient sound but its not working, I have both earbuds in. 

Does anyone have the same probem ? 

[Anonymous User]

Quite strange.

My ambient sound kinda of works with 2 or 1 bud. Put the sound is only pumped in the left year for no reason even if i have both on.

The right bud also makes no sound when inserted in the ear.

They screwed hard. How they did not spot this before releasing the update?!?!

Had a look on youtube seems like my issue is common as well

I saw someone mention clearing the wear app cache. Done that, and so far so good. My buds working again, including touch controls.
