AirPods keep disconnecting

Yes. Sometimes they are fine, sometimes not. Can’t see a pattern.

Not uncommon on early betas, this usually happens when the BL daemon dies due to too heavy debug logging aka memory usage. Don't ask me though why this happens on one device and not the other :-) but I've seen similar errors during the last major iOS beta cycles.

Did you remove all BL devices and re-add them?

Yes, I removed my AirPods and then re-added them.

Yeah, also got this issue once. Simply put them back in their case and restart your iPhone to fix this issue.

This issue must be somehow related to the hardware involved. My iPhone Xs fails constantly with multiple sets of Airpods, where I have no issue on my iPhone X. The same for my iPads where the 2nd generation iPad 12 fails but the 1st generation iPad pro has no issues.

The only way to restore functionality seems to reboot the device, where upon things work for a random period of time.

After having the same issue (AirPods disconnecting after a few minutes from calls), I realized that my issue was ONLY happening when the microphone from my AirPods was active (FaceTime, Zoom, WebEx). But when I was listening to music or a TV show on Apple TV, I was staying connected until the battery died. That led me to think it has something to do with the mic in the AirPods. Note: I took them to Apple and they ran diagnostics and didn’t find any HW defect and the AirPods were up to date with the firmware.

Back to the mic. There is a setting in the Bluetooth settings of your AirPods that lets you set the microphone of your device on the left, right or “auto”. By default it’s on auto. So, I ran a test on a dummy conf call and set my mic on the left AirPod. It never disconnected. Then I switched it to the right AirPod and it immediately disconnected. I then did the same thing from right to left and same behavior.

So, now, as a workaround, I just set the mic on one of the AirPods (I do not use auto), and the disconnect issue disappeared.

Apple still has to figure out why switching the mic from one AP to the other causes the disconnect (I contacted them and will jump on a call with them to discuss tomorrow), but at least I can use my AP again in meetings!

I hope that helps other folks here with that issue!
