Resetting is the quickest way you can fix many problems that occur in devices. It gets rid of software bugs that could be the cause of a temporary malfunction, including charging issues. 

To reset your Galaxy Buds case follow the steps below:

  1. First make sure that your earbuds have at least 50% of battery in them
  2. Press and hold the sensors on the Galaxy Buds for about 10 seconds
  3. Place the Galaxy Buds back into their case
  4. Leave it be for at least 30 seconds

Your Galaxy Buds case is now reset and you can try charging it. If this didn’t work, check out the next solution.

Solution 2: Update The Firmware

Updating the firmware gets rid of software malfunctions, which also include charging problems. Your firmware should update automatically, but in case it does not, here is how to do it manually:

  1. First of all, make sure that your device and the Galaxy Buds are connected
  2. Plug the charger into the case
  3. Close the case
  4. Leave the case overnight to update

Alternatively, you can use the Galaxy Wearable app:

  1. Unlock your phone
  2. Open Galaxy Wearable app
  3. Tap Earbuds software update (or Earbuds settings, then Earbuds software update)
  4. Click Download and install

And that is it! You have successfully updated the software of your Galaxy Buds. If software is not the issue that caused the charging problem, let us see what else you can do to fix the problem.

Solution 3: Clean The Case And The Buds

Accumulated dirt, dust and debris could be the reason your case is not charging due to electricity flow being prevented by dirt. To fix this problem you must clean the case and the Galaxy Buds. 

The materials you need are isopropyl alcohol, a cotton swab and a microfiber cloth. 

Take the cotton swab and put a drop of isopropyl alcohol on it. Clean the whole case but pay extra attention to the charging port and the charging pins. After you do that, take the microfiber cloth and clean the case with it.

The next thing you should do is clean the Galaxy Buds in the same way. Take the cotton swab, put a drop of isopropyl alcohol on the other side of it and clean the buds, but this time pay extra attention to the charging contacts. When you finish, take the microfiber cloth and clean them with it. 

Solution 4: Try Charging The Case With A Different Cable, Power Adapter And Power Outlet

The first thing you should do here is check the cable. If there is any visible damage to the cable, you need to replace it. However, if there is no visible damage to the cable, try getting another one regardless. Plug the new cable in the case and see if it starts charging. If it does begin to charge that means the first cable was faulty. 

The second thing you can do if the cable is not faulty is replace the power adapter. See if the case starts charging with the new power adapter, if it does, the previous one was faulty. 

The final thing you can try is plugging the charger into another power outlet. Also be sure not to use extensions, the problem might lie in it. 

Solution 5: Remove The Galaxy Buds Out Of The Case
