How to Reboot Xiaomi True Wireless Earphones 2 Basic

Modern wireless gadgets such as Xiaomi True Wireless Earphones 2 Basic provide high levels of comfort and high-quality sound, but even the most reliable devices can fail from time to time. Users often face situations when the left or right earphone stops working, the sound becomes intermittent, or the gadget simply stops connecting to the smartphone.

To restore normal operation, you need to perform a forced reboot or complete resetting procedure, which is different from normal synchronization and requires precise follow-up of the sequence of actions, restarting the system allows you to clear temporary errors and restore a stable connection between the components of the headset.

In this guide, we will go into detail all the ways to resuscitate your audio device, learn how to properly use touch control for a soft reboot and how to perform a deep reset to factory settings if the problem is deeper, and follow these instructions will help you avoid going to the service center.

Reasons for the need to restart the device

Understanding why Xiaomi Earphones 2 Basic may be incorrect is the first step to successfully solving a problem. Often users are looking for a way to reboot the gadget when faced with channel desynchronization, this is a situation where the right and left headphones stop “hearing” each other and play different tracks or work independently.

Another common cause is the accumulation of errors in the Bluetooth connection buffer.The smartphone may try to connect to a device that is already busy processing the previous request, which leads to a freeze.In this case, the forced restart of clears the cache and allows you to establish a clean connection.

⚠️ Warning: If after several attempts to reboot the problem with charging or on, it may be the oxidation of contacts or battery discharge, and not a software failure.

Also, reboot is necessary after updating the firmware or changing the settings of the equalizer in the Xiaomi Earbuds application. Sometimes the new parameters are not applied correctly until the system is turned off and re-enabled. This is the standard situation for most electronic devices with an operating system.

The following are the main symptoms indicating the need for intervention:

• 🔇 Complete lack of sound when connected Bluetooth.
• 📉 Low volume despite maximum settings in the phone.
• 🔌 Inability to pair with new devices.
• 🔋 Indicators show incorrect charge level.

Soft reboot through touch control

The easiest and safest way to try to revive headphones is to perform a soft reboot using touch panels. Xiaomi True Wireless Earphones 2 Basic features sensitive sensors that respond to touch and hold, a technique that doesn't erase user data, but only restarts the device's operating system.

To do this, you don't have to remove the headphones from the case if they're there and they're charging. However, if they're already paired with the phone, you'd better turn off the Bluetooth on the smartphone first, then you'll need to remove both headphones and put them back in the charger case.

Once the headphones are in the case, press the touchpads on both devices simultaneously. You need to hold your fingers for about 20-30 seconds. The indicators should blink in a certain way, signaling that the turn off cycle is started. If the indicators do not respond, make sure that the case is charged.

It is important to observe the timing. Too short a press can be perceived as a command to switch a track or activate a voice assistant. Only prolonged retention lasting more than 15 seconds initiates a deep restart of the system. After releasing your fingers, wait about a minute before trying to connect them to the phone again.

Full reset to factory settings (Hard Reset)

If the soft reboot doesn’t work, you need to perform a full reset, or Hard Reset.This procedure will return the Xiaomi Earphones 2 Basic to the state they were in immediately after purchase.All saved pairings will be removed and the headphones will go into the search mode for a new device.

First, make sure the headphones are in the case and the lid is open. There's a function button on the back of the charger case. That's what you use to enter pairing mode and perform the reset. Press and hold this button for a period of time. 10-15 seconds.

Hold the button on the case: 10-15 seconds


Indication: White indicator flashes 3 times

You'll notice that the white LED light on the front of the case will start flashing. This usually happens three times in a row, after which the headphones will be reset. Now they're ready for a new pairing. Remember to remove the old device from the Bluetooth list on your smartphone before connecting.

⚠️ Warning: After Hard Reset, the headphones will forget all previously connected devices. You will have to re-mating with each gadget.

This method is especially effective if you sell headphones or give them to another person, it ensures that your personal data and connection history are not left in the device’s memory, and it is the only way to correct errors related to desynchronization of the left and right channels.

Management through the Xiaomi Earbuds app

For more subtle adjustment and diagnosis of battery status, it is recommended to use the official Xiaomi Earbuds application. It is available for Android and iOS and allows you not only to manage functions, but also to update the firmware. Often problems with work are solved by installing the current version of the software.

You can check the status of each headphone separately in the app, and if one of them is 0% charge, even though the other is fully charged, this is a clear sign of desynchronization, in which case program reset via the application may not be possible, and you will have to use a physical button on the case.

Use the app to check firmware version. If a new version is available, be sure to upgrade. Xiaomi developers regularly release patches that improve the stability of Bluetooth connections and fix known bugs.

Connection problems and their solution

Even after a successful reboot, you may have difficulty connecting. Often, your smartphone will “remember” an old, mismatched pairing. To avoid this, open the Bluetooth settings on your phone, search the Xiaomi True Wireless Earphones 2 Basic list, and click “Forget the device” or “Unpair.”

Once you clear the list, re-pair. Open the case lid with the headphones inside. The indicator should start flashing white to signal search mode. Select the device from the phone menu. PIN-Type 0000, although this model rarely requires it.

If the connection does not occur, check the following points:

• 📱 Bluetooth on your phone is on and visible to others.
• 🔋 Headphones and case loaded.
• 🚫 The headphones are not connected to another device nearby.
• 🔄 Bluetooth drivers on the phone updated.

Sometimes it helps to reboot the smartphone itself, which is a seemingly banal piece of advice, but it often solves problems with the Bluetooth stack of the operating system: Rebooting the phone resets all network services, which can eliminate the address conflict.

💡

Before repairing, always remove the device from the Bluetooth list on your phone, which prevents profile conflicts and speeds up the connection process.

Care and prevention of disruption

To minimize the need for frequent reboots, you need to properly care for the device. The main enemy of electronics is moisture and dust. Wipe the contact areas on the headphones and inside the case with dry soft cloth. Oxidation of contacts can cause the headphones to not charge in the case, and the system will perceive this as a failure.

Don’t let the battery run completely to zero for long periods of time. Lithium-ion batteries degrade if they’re in a deep discharge for long periods of time. If you don’t plan on using the headphones for a month or more, charge them up to 50-60% and turn them off (if you can) or simply store them in a cool place.

⚠️ Warning: Do not use headphones in extremely low or high temperatures, which can cause permanent battery damage and controller failures.

Check updates regularly in the app. Engineers are constantly working to improve noise reduction algorithms and connection stability. It is critical not to interrupt the firmware update process, as this can turn the headphones into a "brick" that cannot be restored software.

Careful attitude and timely cleaning of earwax will prolong the life of your Xiaomi Earphones 2 Basic. Keep the speaker mesh clean using a soft brush. A clogged speaker is a common cause of quiet sound, which users mistaken for a software glitch.

💡

Regular cleaning of contact areas and timely update of firmware reduce the probability of failures by 80%.
