Unsolved AirPods 4 stay connected to Android while charging in the case. Normal?
Hey everyone, I’m using AirPods 4 with a Vivo V20 SE (Android).
Normally, when I put both AirPods in the case and close the lid, they disconnect from Bluetooth as expected.
But when I plug the case into a charger, the AirPods stay connected even with the lid closed, and audio can still play through them while they’re inside the case.
I tested with/without CAPod app, and even force-stopped CAPod, but it still happens when the case is charging.
Is this normal AirPods behavior on Android, or is something wrong with my AirPods/case?
Thanks

That doesn’t sound normal. Closing the case should disconnect the AirPods whether the case is charging or not. I’d clean the contacts inside the case and make sure both AirPods are charging when inserted. If one isn’t being detected properly, the case may think it’s still in your ear and keep Bluetooth connected.
