How to Find Lost Samsung Galaxy Buds

ByJim Miller

Losing your Samsung Galaxy Buds can be a frustrating experience. You may find yourself flipping over everything in your house or retracing your steps to locate them. But don't worry, there are several ways you can find your lost Galaxy Buds. In this article, we'll discuss different methods to help you retrieve your precious earbuds.

How to Find Lost Samsung Galaxy Buds When Connected

If your Galaxy Buds are misplaced somewhere in your home or office, and you can still connect to them via Bluetooth, finding them shouldn't be too difficult. You can use the Galaxy Wearable app to locate them. Here's how:

  1. Launch the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone and tap on “Find My Earbuds” in the menu.
  2. You'll see two options: “Navigate” and “Ring.” Since your Galaxy Buds are already in range, tap on “Ring.”
  3. Tap on “Start” to make your earbuds beep. Both earbuds should start making noise. If you've lost only one earbud, you can mute the other one by tapping on the speaker icon below it.
  4. Once you find your earbud, tap on “Stop.”

Keep in mind that this method may not work if your Galaxy Buds are out of Bluetooth range or if their battery is dead. Also, note that you can't locate the missing charging case using this method.

How to Find Lost Samsung Galaxy Buds When Not Connected

If you can't connect to your Galaxy Buds or don't remember where you might have left them, finding them can be a bit more challenging. However, it's still possible. Follow these steps:

  1. Launch the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone and tap on “Find My Earphones” in the menu.
  2. The app will display the last known location of both earbuds and the time of the last update.
  3. If you don't know the address, you can tap on “Navigate” to locate the earbuds on Google Maps. This may not be as accurate as finding AirTags, but it can give you an idea of where you might have left your Galaxy Buds.
  4. Use the Google Maps app to get close to the last known location, then tap on “Search nearby” in the SmartThings Find app. The app will scan for the earbuds and notify you once it finds them. You can try moving around the location to improve the accuracy.

With a bit of luck, the app should be able to find your lost Galaxy Buds and notify you.

How to Set Up Notify When Left Behind for Samsung Galaxy Buds

If you've successfully found your Galaxy Buds, it's a good idea to set up the “Notify when left behind” feature in the SmartThings Find app. This feature sends you a notification whenever you leave your earbuds in an unknown location, helping you avoid losing them in the first place. Here's how to set it up:

  1. Launch the SmartThings Find app on your phone and go to the “Devices” tab.
  2. Tap on your Galaxy Buds and then tap on “Find device.”
  3. Finally, toggle on the switch next to “Notify when left behind.”

You can also set up safe places where the app won't send notifications. Follow these steps:

  1. In the SmartThings Find app, go to “Devices” > “Galaxy Buds” > “Find device.”
  2. Tap on the “Notify when left behind” option.
  3. Tap on “Add Safe place” and enter a name for the location. Use the pin on the map to locate the safe place. You can adjust the radius of the safe place using the slider at the bottom.

By enabling this feature and setting up safe places, you can ensure that you never leave your Galaxy Buds behind.

FAQs

  1. Is there a way to locate the lost Galaxy Buds charging case?

    • No, the SmartThings Find app can only help you locate the earbuds, not the charging case.

  2. Is it possible to track down Galaxy Buds that have run out of battery?

    • You can track down the last known location of your Galaxy Buds using the SmartThings app, but you won't be able to make them beep if their battery is dead.

Losing your Galaxy Buds is something that can happen to anyone. However, with the methods discussed above, you should be able to find your lost earbuds and avoid future mishaps.
