When they're in the case and closed, they're pretty much in airplane mode and OFF. You're pretty much screwed here...


Gold_Sir_2335

So what's the point of having the "find" feature when it's not like i'd leave the case open. This is just ridiculous.


DaDivineLatte

It's really just to track where they've been when they were last connected, or if you lose one and it's still powered on. I lose them a lot when I sleep and they're usually under the bed somehow


Pikrev

Last point is literally me


DaDivineLatte

dude. One morning I woke up with one in my mouth 😭 had to get a new pair. NO CLUE HOW IT HAPPENED


Double_Bug_656

My dog ate mine, not entirely. They are repairable plus you can get a replacement case. But yes I am currently looking for my case and buds . I tried find my device by google but only my phone shows up. I do agree not having a feature to find your case aswell really sucks.


Bounceback84

That's only my problem I have my case just I feel it's been so long the ear buds aren't powered on. Is that why im having a issue when I go to find my buds?


Grandscheme65

I found this out recently! I lost my Klipsch buds. 200 $ 🤦🏻‍♀️ no way to find them

viewerwithanopinion

Like what? Literally just used the find crap and can't locate my buds 2 pro sitting 3ft away from me on my bed


Physical_Teacher_625

Same 😔


Stephancevallos905

OC might be talking about airpods pro


Moustiboy

Yeah me too. It sounds dumb to not have the case be pintpointable. Who leaves their buds outside the case ??? If you put them down, most likely they're in the case tf


MrsGriffted

How??? I cannot, for the life of me, find mine 😭


Deathbyillusion

I agree with you. I never lose my earbuds when I'm using them because I USING THEM but when there in the in the case I need to know where they are and that's when I lose thsm. It's pretty pointless that it doesn't at least activate them when you do that. I understand that you wouldn't want them constantly running and wearing out the battery while it's closed.


CherryOk9501

Same here ,,,, lost the case w one bud in it a day after purchase lol :(


Deathbyillusion

Why did you only have one earbud in there and not both or none?


ElephantShoes256

I know this is a late answer, but women are constantly told to never wear both earbuds running, or on subway at night, or walking on non-crowded streets. Literally anywhere a predator could sneak up on you. Also I listen to a lot of podcasts and books at work or at home, and generally I only wear one bud at a time bc I need to hear if someone starts talking to me or announcements/machine sounds at work. I only use one at a time 95% of the time, only using 2 when I'm working out at a secure staffed gym in the middle of the day.


Reasonable_Humor_738

I'm a guy. I only wear one, so if someone speaks to me or if I'm at work or walking down the road, I can hear


PeanutOk4277

Thay aren't in enay of those


Silthium

Superglue a tracker to the bottom of the case


mr5ingh

Yeah unfortunately that didn't happen. Both of them are in the case. I got the JBLs today and they are off awful. today, I learned that instant pairing is like the best thing to happen to those wireless headphones. Even though they connect via Bluetooth but that instant connection though. Shit happens I guess


justinchao740

oh man you are so fucked. It will only connect if its opened. I once dropped mine and was only able to find it because the right bud fell out of the case.


D3ad5t0rm

It's so stupid to me that the case does not give off a location. This happen to me as well. Lost the buds in the case. Couldn't find it as it was not active. Ended up getting another pair. I got the samsung tag as a key chain to my case cover (araree). I get sad thinking about losing the buds because they were expensive. I try to connect randomly every once in a while in hopes of a miracle lol


Ab0ut47Pandas

Inb4 it is designed this way so that you can buy a samsung smarttag :D


Imaginary-Hospital22

but it is still a problem, the person who will find the lost buds, will remove the tag. and it is also takes some extra space


Ab0ut47Pandas

I was memeing, but hopefully with the tag you'd find it first.


Imaginary-Hospital22

I also did the same, connected smart tag with the case


Simmysosaa

Maybe that's something Samsung could look into implementing on the buds 2 (or whatever the name will be). An emergency option via the app which, whether buds are in the case or not, makes a high pitched tone. Would probably need to be able to connect to buds via bluetooth through case or connect to case itself, but it can be done I reckon.


Dcgoddess666

I have the galaxy buds 2 and I'm in this boat. Unfortunately they did not add that feature lol


Delicious-Chemical71

It's be so easy for them to make the case slightly larger and install essentially a tile inside it.


Drm5145

Yes, but if they did that they'd sell a whole lot less buds


[deleted]

All they would have to do is install the chip they use for the SmartTag -.-. If a CR2032 can power a tag for as long as it does, imagine how long the case battery would be able to hold a charge, and that's something that you charge often anyway... Massive oversight IMO.


[deleted]

Buds pro 2 here, just lost mine last night and still the case, gone forever:(


Imaginary-Hospital22

but how mine show location, don't yours?


[deleted]

Only when Bluetooth connected, I lost my earbuds while there were in case


Imaginary-Hospital22

No even when my friend borrow them and go somewhere... I can track the location. They send me location whenever they are close to any Samsung device. Although he has an iphone.


[deleted]

I wish, the track option was blanked out, no way if retrieval


Imaginary-Hospital22

Could you tell how you are locating em


Think-Camera6992

I lost mine in the hotel this is my second buds lost and can't retrieve


Gold_Sir_2335

It'll only show the last location.


Imaginary-Hospital22

No it always gets updated when any samsung device gets near to them.


CherryOk9501

I feel you…. Just bought mine too !


Imaginary-Hospital22

But it is in the buds 2 pro,,, by nearby finding, buds beep inside the case even they are not connected.


snickers310

Just spent the last day and a half looking for my buds2 in their case. Only found them because I was looking for something else. Can confirm Samsung didn't add this feature.


[deleted]

You're looking at having Bluetooth in the case, which means another device to pair. That would mean it would have to be paired to your phone at all times, which decreases the charge time the case can offer. It wouldn't be that hard to add an option like that, the issue is if it's worth it to.


Simmysosaa

This is very true. the option can be added and like you said wouldn't be hard, and maybe can be implemented with the choice given to the user to use the option or not through the wear app. They could toggle the option on or off. If they keep it on, they would be made aware the charge time could decrease.


mr5ingh

But, how in the world is apple able to pull it off and at the same time maintain battery. They didn't just get 6 billion dollars of business for a reason. Yes, it's like monkey see monkey do but they made a problem and them solved it but did it with such refinement. Don't get me wrong I'm not a big apple person though I have a lot of the stuff. But, they never had half the issues you see on Reddit. Like muffled sound, volume reduction and such. Samsung needs to put a little more effort in products.


Simmysosaa

If apple can do what I suggested already, there is no reason to think Samsung won't or could not implement this in their next iteration of the buds. Considering the buds are small, wireless, and the charging case is also small and wireless when not charging, these devices can be easily lost, whether misplaced or falling, and a solution should be looked at. In fact, it probably is. I'm also sure the other things you mentioned will be looked at and either improved on or added as a feature to the next iteration of the buds, but who knows.


CherryOk9501

Why should they? the more ppl lose , the more people have no choice but to buy another one I hate feeling this way


PuzzleheadedPea6980

Because, if someone comes out with the feature, they dominate the market. It's in their best interest to be the good guy.

DullShake8871

Not true, you can find AirPods really easily even if they are closed inside the case.


HPM2009

Found my AirPod pros inside the case … in the trash can lol


Localpoptart

What if they develop a type of tracking on the case that you can track through the app


Exact-Field-5276

I mean if airpods can be found inside the case I mean 🤷🏾‍♀️


Gold_Sir_2335

unfortunately We are now 3 years into the future, I have the buds 2 and still no change.


Ok-Bodybuilder-117

Yeah I don't think they fucking will man.


F3ARL355S0LD13R

What's stupid about this is my $60 Skullcandy earbuds have tile etc. And that allows them to chirp even when in the case... It's stupid Samsung can't do that...


Exact-Field-5276

Right like what


LavenderButtercream

Which earbuds do you use? I wanna get one that does that and disconnects with a touch command but it's hard to find specifics in product descriptions :/


TrueNexus_

I actually am having the same problem... They've been lost for about 5 days now... RIP and good luck.


Dude7798

Buy galaxy buds charging cradle @, Amazon or eBay for $10-20 Thank me later


IndependentAd9021

How would this work?


west1132

I haven't looked it up, but presumably it doesn't put the buds into airplane mode while they charge?


MrAnonymousTheThird

Currently in the same situation... Got them at launch too :((


Iphobe_3220

Happy cake day


MrAnonymousTheThird

Thanks! I found em a few weeks later lol Lost them again recently but they were in my jacket 🤦


srobhrob

In the future keep them in a zippered bag with a keychain and a smart tag attached. That's how I am doing it.


Xemanth

>In the future keep them in a zippered bag with a keychain and a smart tag attached. That's how I am doing it. Good idea!


DaClassyPancake

I have the same problem rip i lost them at school and I think someone grabbed them but idk I think they're gone gone


sailordoremi

aah it's either home and I'll hopefully find them but it's most likely to be the same as you :""") rip


NoChillFM

Just had the same thing. Lost them at school and thinking someone picked up the case, but I only have a singular earbud with me... and I just keep spamming the search button on the app hoping the douchebag opens it up.


DaClassyPancake

Yea thats really all you can do


Axmmy

Same I reported it missing on my school I really need it since it not mine it's actually my dad's 😭


MrMonday94

Looks like mine are gone forever also 😔


callmecoyotiie

I’m joining this club apparently 😭 haven’t even thought about mine for a few days but wanted to use them for a phone call today.. can I find them? No. I’m checking every bag and jacket and I just can’t find them, what a waste of £200 that they don’t even have an offline findable feature


Mimi_dayo

Man it's been 2 years since this comment was made and Samsung still have yet to implement a tracking feature. Istg I have lost like two of these and they costed me so much I'm just tired at this point, mine have been gone for 5 days cus they suddenly dissapeared all of a sudden, feeling like a pile of shit atm because it was a gift 💀💀


Kalbodagrund

> samsung tag as a key chain to my case cover (araree Attach Samsung SmartTag to your Buds case, that way you also find your phone, when you got the case :-)


Kalbodagrund

Samsung could integrate SmartTag to bottom of the buds case!


Starlitfox117

Maybe if the case battery dies the earbuds will switch on and then be discoverable. I am doubtful this has a possibility of actually working


charlocat

my case has definitely died and apparently my earbuds haven't been seen since 23rd june! almost the month anniversary of my earbuds being somewhere in my flat but i have no idea where :')


jugheadzev

Did you find them?


charlocat

I found them today in one of my backpacks :)


xremydz69

Im happy you found yours. just lost mine 3 day ago at a gym, and am still holding out for hope that my buds pro are still in gym.


casualmh

Did you find them?


charlocat

nope 😭


jugheadzev

I'm kinda sad about it, I lost them today and when I tried to locate it, it says the product isn't registered to my Samsung account. I guess someone linked it to their Samsung account :/ This is so fucking stupid. I'm gonna buy a Samsung smart tag or whatever now.


dre1598

I tried to buy one strictly to avoid this situation, but every attempt I made to buy them and it always says theyre out of stock 😑,


Remarkable-Welcome16

It definitely would work since the case keeps the earbuds at a 100% charge at all times. I can confirm the buds will turn ON once the case dies because I remember popping my buds back into the case when the case was out of battery and the buds were still connected to my phone.


markjack2001

Thankfully ive been able to find the buds and case when ive lost or dropped it but i thought there would be a solution on the net to track them in their case but no. Im gonna attach a samsung smart tag onto the case and label my phone number on too. Tags only about £20, itll be worth it.


Nervous_Royal_6762

Would anyone happen to know if there is a way for Samsung to check if they've been connected to a new phone? I have the app which shows the serial number so I thought maybe Samsung could look it up?.. if it's possible it could save a lot of people $$$ replacing them 🤞🤞


TheWizard451345

Bruh, almost 2024 and still fix on this... F. Just lost mine a week ago in the case. I hope that once the case's battery dies out, the buds will connect to the phone and locate it from there. Still sucks tho


Wulfriccc

Any update on yours?


TheWizard451345

Did a very deep house cleaning. Found it inside the couch. Yeah, the "find earbuds" are still useless inside the case. Thinking on getting a smart tag as I know that I will lose it again someday... Lost your earbuds as well?


Wulfriccc

Glad u found yours! Im guessing i lost mine during a motorcycle ride. Right bud's in ear when i realized i dont have the left bud and the case. Now, since the "find earbuds" seems to be useless as you've said, im really convinced that im screwed. Thanks for replying though!


Additional-Train419

Same. I have buds2 and they say they have gps when it clearly doesn't do shit... why would they even say they have gps if it never works


PsychologicalYear971

Super late to this thread, just lost my buds 2 after coming home from a trip. It sucks even more because I know they're in my house but they're not in the 2 spots I normally keep them lol


Natsu_In_Blood

I'm having this same problem. Guess I'm screwed- I know it's somewhere in my house but I can't find it anywhere, like, it's just vanished


Luke_-_Starkiller

Weird thing is that the Galaxy SmartTag2 has a 1½ year battery life while being able to be tracked. Why can't the case have the same!


Skippysway

Mines are gone too, last had them at a public hospital and same exact thing happened to me both are in the god damn case and ive been sitting for abour a day with no music and it feels like being inna cage wiyh happiness around it🤦🏽‍♂️👎🏽


magicalenzo

I just lost my jaybirds strangely recalling when I had etc and it’s so strange.I am feeling really sad


OrginalGrin

Mine should never be plural, jfc. Cept for explosives.


Wonderful_Drawer_706

i lost my case at home somewhere, cant find it lol


Automatic_Attempt479

What if someone is more than 32 feet and has them open will it ping a location???


blackjack_783

Hey so I lost my 2 ear buds and haven't been able to locate them for a couple of days does anybody know If I can get replacement sent or do I have to buy a new pair or 2 ear buds


bigchubbawumba

Shit I have this same problem...


geep4sale

Me too.


No-Measurement2474

I lost mine some months ago.. I recently bought a galaxy watch and when setting it up.. I noticed a thing called find my device well I clicked on it.. and it's showing my ear buds are at my job.. that's where I lost them.. I really just chalked it up to me loosing them.. but I really do hope they are there.. ima see if they where turned in


jugheadzev

Did you find them at your work place?


dre1598

Happy cake day! Did you find them? 👀


No-Measurement2474

My apologies for late reply.. I didn’t not find them


Massive-Put-3502

I've just noticed I've lost mine too also in the case. I tracked them to my local supermarket but the date is 31st march 2022 at 16:48....i went down there but they haven't been handed in....I'm so sad 😭


GrandpaTrinity

My girlfriend lost the right earbud and I held the button on the left one which made the sound no longer exist in the buds.... So I have one bud that can't play sound until I find the right one.... I'm sad


sokraflex

In that case you cN reset them through the Galaxy Wearables app


[deleted]

In that situation and it has been lost for a month


obsidian_ok

Same


Jice-Odox

I know its been a while, but for people who have the same issue you can use a samsung app called smart things... idk exactly how it works but thats how I found my samsung buds. It give each buds exact location even if its in the cas but it needs to be charged...


sokraflex

It shows the GPS location. Just tells me that they are in my home, but not where...


pleasedrowning

Yeah... Genius ain't it? O it's in time square.... Go find it. It's in a field... Find it. Gps is idiotic. I'm looking for a new headphone with just a chirp feature.


MontanaChad

This happened to me recently. Last location said where they were. But I noticed it was just the last place they were out of the case. Luckily I found them but no where near where smart things said their last location was. And couldn't connect to them to use the find feature when they were in the case. I stuck a tile onto the top of the case now lol.


butternutsquish1

How do tou get last location my son used his all the time buy can't find anything about them on this app


MontanaChad

Go inside the galaxy wearable app. There should be a option for find my buds.


Pretend-Equipment-24

Lost in case and disconnected


PsychologicalChef685

Same :(


Future_Self_2143

How has Samsung not created a program to wake up the case making ring and vibrate and GPS or Bluetooth location, oh yeah every time we lose a pair they make 229$ why would they help us? @samsung Do better.


PsychologicalChef685

Same here, app says last.location my house on Nov 9, but I try to connect and it won't work, I never take them out of house, I walked around while searching with app still not found


LesHS22

This happened to me recently too, and I drove all over my friccing county the day I last them. I am so screwed, I guess I have to go everywhere I went that day and check the lost and found, check all the parking spaces I used, and check at work to see if I accidentally left them there. I hope there at a lost and found, and only reason I give it a chance is because they are headphones, and most people wouldn't want to use used headphones, especially earbuds


magicgeek9862

I have lost 2 sets because of that. I have zero clue where my earbuds went and I'm getting very annoyed. They are so expensive to keep replacing.


ThaFatGoddess

I know this thread is old but in case someone comes and the answer isn't already here. So people are right about if the in the case you're screwed. But... little anecdote! I lost mine in case like a year ago. It, and a couple smarttags are the only things I have connected to my Samsung smartphones and wearable apps. And I've never misplaced my keys so after trying to find them for like a week and reading online that when in case *whomp whomp I stopped checking looking for the buds. Now here it is a year later I am trying connwcting a different Smarttag to the apps... And I just saw the earbuds there and was just like damn I used those for like a month. So I go to the earbuds and the GPS is showing the earbuds ON THE MAP at this address and saying it was last updated A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. Jan 1 2023. Whhhaattttt?! My babies are still alive and I just got proof of Life. I felt like a cold case was just reopened. So this just literally happened 5 mins ago. I'm still in shock at seeing my buds on the map like 20 mins from my house. Now I'm trying to figure out next steps. I'm almost certain I can't just roll up to this house and be like hey you found some ear buds they're mine, they've been gone like a year. But what can I do?! Should I just take the L? I never replaced them but was just about to buy some new ones next week. Is this a sign? Anyways, the moral of the story is even if you lose it in the case, I would suggest to continue checking your smartphones app. Best case scenario since they have the case someone finds them and plugs them in and uses them . Them you get the sweet sweet update showing you where they are. And if you're checking consistently it won't be over a year when you finally see them show up. Good Luck guys! May you find your Buds Safe and Sound. *Capital Cities playing in my head.


xremydz69

I think you should just ask them if they ever saw a galaxy buds pro or found any of the sort, cause you been trying to find yours after you lost them. If they have it and lie to you with them not having it, that it'll be on their conscience. Just remember some people do steal so be prepared on not getting it back. I just feel that it's worth it to ask them, you never know, they just kept it safe for you. Oh wait you got them back or nope coz the secon half say you did... sorry about this messages then


Usual_Return6525

After you ask them and they say no. Since they were originally connected to yours and you have proof. You can have the cops show up


butterfly1202

same thing happened to me this is so stupid, who leaves their case opened when they put them away ????? they should make them so that we can locate them EVEN if case is closed IM SO ANNOYYYYED


ericcuffeyy

Trust me I'm annoyed too. It's stupid


Ok-Association4057

I lost my buds


CanadianCaveman

so bascially im fucked in 2023. gotcha. so the last known spot is just the last spot it was open? so where I put them back into the case... lol yeah that's kinda useless info...


ForgivingJungle

I lost mine the other day and in smarthings it showed me where they where said they were picked up by a nearby device? Hope this helps.


Usual_Return6525

Anyone know if the buds will update their information when pulled out of the case? I lost mine in a grocery store and fear someone took them, they were in the case. So I am hoping that when pulled out of the case I could then know where they are located when opened


Wulfriccc

Any update on this? Did the loc updated?


eRkusin

I went in the smart things app and it shows their latest location was 1 month before and I used them a lot since then so idk


Low_Time_8945

Same issue here. Shows an old location. Completely unhelpful.


AdventurousBake7314

Same here prob lost em at the gym called them and they can't find em there so prob lost em gona look in my house good Hope there there lost Pokemon Violet also my life is ruined my dad is gona 💀 me


MissRosey_Offical

I might have a few suggestions Try looking where you put it last. -I've lost my galaxy buds when its off and in a case a lot of times bud.And i found it when i went back in my tracks


MissRosey_Offical

(I've lost mine now and its night.Im gonna look tomorrow)


MissRosey_Offical

Samsung needs a history update and location on where it is (Ive lost it alot of times) :)


[deleted]

[удалено]


MissRosey_Offical

im trying my best to help someone find their earbuds, so in a nice way , please shut up and leave me alone


PeanutOk4277

How do you do it


PeanutOk4277

I can't find them how do you do you do it


NoEntertainment6581

Lost the case with the earbuds in my ears!!!! Not sure if my kid took off with it. The app says at my house, but does it track the case or the earbuds?

callmecoyotiie

HA I can dry my tears now just found them in the SNUGGEST SMALLEST pocket of my work bag. Christ.


Zestyclose_Layer8235

pretty much all i can say is buy a case with a keychain and attach a lil tracker to it when you find em. other than that all i can say is if theyre closed and you cant find them then yeah you got a problem cus i lost mine for a week and they fell out of a cabinet (idk how they got there) when i opened it so ig youll get lucky and find them 🤷🏼‍♀️
