How easy is REconnection? If I have it unplugged, and plug it in, and my phone is in range with Bluetooth on, will it automatically connect? EDIT: Thanks everyone who answered! It seems that this does NOT automatically send out a reconnect signal on power-up, which unfortunately is a deal-breaker for me. If anyone knows of a BT receiver on the market that DOES automatically connect on startup, please let me know! How easy is REconnection?

I only use my laptop. It doesn't seem to reconnect automatically but its as easy as clicking on the button at the top of my computer that makes it reconnect.

looking for the same feature. tunelink has it but apparently build not reliable product and too $$

It won't. You have to manually connect. Actually, I Leave the receiver on all the time - it automatically goes to sleep when none of my phones are paired to it. When we wnat to listen to music, we pair the phone to the receiver and it automatically wakes up!

Nope, it will not automatically reconnect. That is another smaller reason why I went back to the corded connection to my stereo.

i doubt bluetooth's security will even allow that to happen on any receiver. if that was the case, anybody that passed by with a smartphone would autoconnect.

Interesting you should ask because I have this question as well and thought I found a solution yesterday (fingers crossed). Answer to your question is yes based on my experience and here are my findings, the speaker goes powers itself off after a period of inactivity, however, I find that if you pair it with your bluetooth device and then add the speaker to the wifi network it will remain on, at least that's how I did it and still on after overnight.

Hello how are you? is very easy you just have to press the on/off button for like 10 seconds or until you hear first power on and the you will hear pairing then you let the button go and look on your device for the speaker to pairing it. and the sound is very good for a small speaker let me know if that help ok.

Did this event already occur to you? It has not to me. However, if the surge created from all of your power coming on at once did not short out your device, then it should power back on automatically. Personally, I usually unplug all important devices when the power goes off.

I had some issues with the first time connection as well. I am assuming that all lights on the adaptor come on normally. If not the unit itself may be defective. If the lights are good plug in the transmitter and while the car was running and the transmitter on do a full restart of your phone. On restart turn on bluetooth, attempt pair, and then start the app. After the first connection I did not have any problem reconnecting. This is the only one that worked for me, I had others that I had to return because they wouldn't pair so good luck!

Yes. But if the battery is 100% discharged, it takes a minute or two once plugged in before it will accept a new BT connection and play audio properly. It's not a big deal to wait the 60 seconds, but just to save you some frustration that once plugged in after full discharge, best to wait else it behaves oddly sometimes.

There is a button in the back that you can switch on and off for power. It will automatically pair with your phone when you have Bluetooth enabled on your phone.

No Problem, just be sure you press and hold the power button, until you see the flashing red and blue light, then be sure your device is on, and it is in search mode in your Bluetooth settings setting on your device, it may take several times, but once it is paired, it will automatically detect your device when power is on.Hope this helps, we have had great luck with both "pairing" and use with several of our devices, including our IPhone, watch cellphone, and even kindle pads.

The unit does go into a low power 'sleep' after you've moved far enough away from it. If you're car is within 30 feet of where you are it will likely stay connected. This happened to me just the other day. Once you're back in the car just tap the call button and it will wake up and connect to your phone.

You can pair with multiple devices, but only 1 can be connected at a time. So you have to manually disconnect from one device to switch & connect to another. But it remembers previously paired devices so at least the reconnection process is quick.

I see three responses here stating that the device works while being charged, that has not been my experience. Once I connect the device to a charger while still on, it automatically disconnects from the blue tooth source. In this case the source being my phone.

Yes, it connects like any bluetooth device, using the Bluetooth menu on your phone. The instructions will tell you how, but you probably will figure it out just by going to that menu on your phone. There are also online support sites. You pair it to the phone, then it will connect automatically when you turn it on. It's easy! This is a very good bluetooth headset, in my opinion...and the price makes it even better. Best wishes!

yes,if the device within the range it can paired automatically.But if not paired for a long time, then it have to reconnect by hand...

YES. I have unplugged the base unit several times as I put my new office desk in order. The backup power from the handset is limited by the rather small AAA batteries, so I don't expect it to last very long. In my experience, the majority of power outages or brown-outs are very brief (i.e. less than 2-3 seconds) and anything longer is probably going to be hours, not minutes. I think this is a thoughtful feature and it's showing up in more and more ordinary devices that aren't much fun to re-program. It works unless the handset isn't in place during the outage, but even then, I didn't lose any programming (addressbook, speed dialing, and cell phone pairing). YES.

Hi Mohamad, I have had the Mpow for about two months now. To answer your question, as long as the bluetooth on your phone is on and there is not any other bluetooth devices near that your phone knows, the Mpow should connect automatically.

It starts automatically. 95% of the time, I press the start button on my car and less than 2 seconds later, there is a soft "ding" noise through the speakers letting me know the system is now linked to my phone. Nothing more to do except hit the play button on my phone and listen to tunes. The other 5% when that doesn't happen (usually when I've turned the car off for a few minutes and then turned it back on -- seems to confuse it) I just reach into the center console and hit the blue button on top to tell it to search again and the system is up and running again immediately.
