The Galaxy Buds+ Manager application is designed to work in conjunction with the Galaxy Wearable application, functioning as a complementary component. Before using the Galaxy Buds+ Manager, it is vital that the Galaxy Wearable application is installed on the device. This dependency ensures that all functionalities of the Galaxy Buds+ Manager operate smoothly, aligning both applications for an enhanced user experience.
To fully utilize all features of the Galaxy Buds+ Manager, users are required to grant appropriate permissions within their Android settings. This is a crucial step for devices running Android version 6.0 or later. Users can access the permissions by navigating to Settings, selecting Applications, and then finding the Galaxy Buds+ Manager application to manage its permissions. Proper permission settings are essential for the application to confirm various functionalities, such as notifications and contact information.
The application necessitates several permissions for its complete service operation. Required permissions include access to notifications, contacts, phone information, calendar data, call logs, nearby devices, and SMS. Each of these permissions serves a specific purpose, primarily pertaining to confirming information that enables voice notifications and searches for nearby Buds devices. The application currently has no optional permissions, meaning that it is straightforward when it comes to permission demands.
For users operating on systems with software versions older than Android 6.0, it is recommended to update their devices to gain access to the latest App permission configurations. After performing a software update, previously granted permissions can be reassessed and adjusted through the Apps menu in the device settings. This allows users to ensure that the Galaxy Buds+ Manager has the appropriate permissions to function optimally.
