Delete the Bluetooth Profile

This is the first method with which you can fix your Galaxy Buds’ pairing issue by simply deleting the Bluetooth profile of your Galaxy Buds and repairing it to the device.

• Head over to the Settings of your Device.
• Go to Connections.
• Search for Bluetooth and tap on it.
• Search for Galaxy Buds Bluetooth profile.
• Tap on it.
• Tap on unpair.
• There will be a confirmatory popup box, tap on Confirm.
• Restart the device(optional).
• Now, Repair the Galaxy Buds with your Device.

That is it. You have successfully deleted the Bluetooth profile of Galaxy Buds and repaired with it successfully. In this way, we can fix the pairing issue. But for some odd reasons, it didn’t work then head to the next method.

Connect it to any Alternate Device

In the above method, we were trying to do something with the Galaxy Buds itself. In this method, you simply use your secondary device or borrow a device for a while.

Use that device to connect to the Galaxy Buds. If you get success in connecting the Galaxy Buds without any problem, then I am worried that there is some issue with your device itself. It may be software or hardware issues. Contact your service provider/customer care for the solution to this method.
