Unlike most Apple products, AirPods usually work well with Android phones. However, due to the error bug of A2DP offload, it seems that Apple's AirPods Pro 2 is not very compatible with Google Pixel phones.
The full name of A2DP is the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile Bluetooth audio transmission model protocol. A2DP can use the chip in the headset to stack data to achieve high definition of sound.
This error Bug causes the audio to disappear and stop after playing for about 90 seconds. Once the audio stops, Apple AirPods will remain connected, but playback will stop. To make it work again, the user needs to disconnect and reconnect AirPods, and then the audio will only last for 90 seconds. There are many reports on this issue on Google Pixel.
There is a temporary solution. Enable "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload" in the developer option. This problem can be solved, but the developer mode needs to be enabled. This also reduces the audio quality of the headphones. A2DP hardware unloading can transfer audio decoding from mobile phone to headset, which is conducive to compression and quality. In particular, Apple H2 chip and processing can be used in the headset.
The highlight of the second generation of AirPods Pro is that the charging compartment is equipped with U1 chip, which supports Apple's Find My function. Display its position on Find My. The built-in speaker of the charging box can play a louder sound to help locate the AirPods Pro.
Nowadays, more and more earphone manufacturers pay attention to the anti loss function. Since the release of Apple's AirTag, everyone has paid more attention to the anti loss of items. Apple's Find My can find iPhone, Mac, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Today's Find My can not only find Apple's devices, but also enrich the layout of Find My Network with the addition of third-party devices. TWS headset and Find My can realize the function of intelligent loss prevention.
Find My Supported Features
Harmful tracking detection function: This function will notify the user of the accessories that may not be recognized normally, and track the location information of such accessories over time.
Loss mode setting number: It supports setting specific devices or accessories to loss mode through this network. You can also set a reserved number to let people contact you when they find it.
Find the location of the lost device: When a user loses a device, it can be marked as the loss mode, and then the device information will spread to each other in the Bluetooth network. Finally, when a user's Bluetooth detects the lost item, it will send its approximate location back to the first lost user to help the user quickly find the device.
Control the device to play sound: it can remotely initiate playing sound to help users find accessories. This action supports both accessory owners and non owners. After finding the approximate location of the accessories, the user can let the owner's iOS device emit a sound to remind, and the owner cancels the reminder to find the device.
In the future, Find My will become an independent network. The addition of third-party devices will enrich the layout of Find My Network. Find My Network will provide a third-party interface to provide better services. It will not damage user privacy. Except for users, neither Apple nor a third party will know the specific location of the phone. Apple's Find My technology uses the Bluetooth wireless signal of Apple devices to create a device network to find lost items. They will work with third-party companies to build Find My Network loss prevention products.
