Galaxy Buds App Code Tells Users to Cool Overheating Earbuds in Case
A string in Galaxy Buds app version 9.0.10.1724 says overheated earbuds will power off for safety and should be placed in the case to cool.
Code in version 9.0.10.1724 of the Galaxy Buds app contains a new string that tells users their earbuds will be turned off for safety and instructs them to put both earbuds in the case and wait until they cool down, according to Android Authority. The string states that overheated earbuds will automatically power off rather than continue beeping while active.
Samsung has not announced the change. The string was found in the app's code, and the company has not commented on it.
Earlier guidance
Since at least late 2024, Samsung's official support page has warned users not to place overheated earbuds in the charging case, stating that the earbuds will constantly beep as a safety measure until they cool down. That guidance contrasts with the instruction in the newly found app string.
Samsung's wireless earbuds lineup has expanded over the years, most recently with models like the Galaxy Buds On.
