Mine is the same way whenever I try to pair it to my iPhone 5 or iPad mini. It takes an incredibly long time to reset the connection every time I want to use the speaker. Not worth it.

No mine remembers every time. I just turn on my Bluetooth and it pairs right up. I'm using a nexus 5

I have the same issue with mine unfortunately. I've learned to tolerate it but it is annoying.

Sorry, I don't use the bluetooth function. I connect with a very short audio cable. A friend of mine told me that audio quality is depreciated via bluetooth transfer vs. direct audio cable. Thus, I have not bothered to compare for myself since I am fine with resting my ipod atop the speaker, as it is connected via the audio cable.

It is likely still paired with your IPhone. Once the speaker is paired with a device it remains paired to that device. Turn Bluetooth off on your IPhone and put the speaker back into pairing mode (power down, wait 10secs and power back on). You will know it is in pairing mode when it flashes Red and Blue. Keep in mind the speaker will automatically pair with any previously paired device thereby blocking any other new device pairings.

I have had mine for over a year now. I use it daily and every now and again I have this problem.Usually shutting off the speaker, restarting it, then reestablishing the bluetooth connection works. Sometimes shutting off and restarting the music source works. A couple of times the speaker appeared to be paired to my device when it was actually paired with another device in the house and not the one I thought. Turning off or disconnecting the unwanted device and then reconnecting the bluetooth to the device you are using works. Lastly, there have been times when I couldn't resolve the issue in the moment, so I just turned it off and waited awhile and whatever was wrong seems to resolve itself.

Once my iPhone is connected, it plays music well, but when I try to use voice commands using Siri, the commands aren't understood. I can see the audio is getting to the phone (watching the wiggly line when using Siri), but the pickup is not good. When I disconnect bluetooth, Siri input works okay. So I would say it is no longer using the phone mic or something else in the software is deficient.

If you haven't try manually disconnecting your bluetooth connection to your phone -- both phone and media. That worked for me immediately when my blue light stayed on and I could not shut off the speaker. Otherwise, I was going to let the battery run out completely so that it would shut off.

I had to press the power button six times and then I was able to connect it to my Bluetooth on both of my iPhones. I just had to wait for it to say waiting on connection then go into my settings and click on the cube and it connected. I had to do it with both my iPhones. I now have no issues when I turn the speaker on then my Bluetooth on. I hope this helps!!!

I have this issue as well. Occasionally the speaker will start skipping (about 1/8 - 1/4 second of music goes missing, once ever 30-60 seconds) and will continue to do this. During some sessions it won't do this. I've experienced this with an iPhone 4s and various Windows Phones. This is the only Bluetooth speaker I've seen this skipping on, and I've used a lot of different Bluetooth speakers and headphones.

I am on iOS devices but I simply turn it on, it shows up, and then from within the settings, bluetooth, menu of the device I select it and pair it. I will say a cople times I have turned it on and had a hard time pairing it, only to realize it was paired to a different device. Simply turning off the different device fixes it.

My suggestion is to: 1) Remove Speaker Bluetooth reference from your device (i.e., smartphone). 2) Enable Speaker Bluetooth device search. 3) Manually connect to Speaker from your device. Good Luck!!

I have an Iphone 5S and it automatically pairs when I get in the car. However, if I'm listening to something via the phone and I leave the car, it does not re-pair when I get back in.

For me it remembers my Iphone most of the time. Sometimes I have to repair, but it works as good if not better than most Bluetooth systems in this regard.

I have not experienced this with my iPhone. I just reconnect it via Bluetooth devices and begin playing music. I cannot speak to android as I do not own any android devices.

Turn the iPhone bluetooth to "off." Turn back to "on," and it will find it. Happens to me every time I recharge my Plantronics.

1.) Is Bluetooth on your 4S turned on(this can be done by going under settings-bluetooth)?2.) Is the headset in discover mode?3.) Is the headset still paired with your Macbook when it tries to pair with your phone? 4.) Is the headset charged? If yes to all of the above, I would go to the Jabra support website.

I've paired mine to two devices without any issue. As I haven't used that specific phone, I can only comment on the iPhone 5 and an older iPod Touch. I'd turn both the ear buds and phone off/on and try again - make sure you find the Avantree name under the Bluetooth devices section within the phone application. Also, you really have to hold down the button on the ear buds a while to activate pairing (but if you're seeing the flashing blue light then it should be good).

If you have problems re-pairing an Apple device (We couldn't get ours to reconnect after we'd had it paired with other devices) see my review of 6/5/13 for a fix. Let me know if this works for you! This only seems to be an issue with Apple devices. A friend had the same problem with an iPad and this worked.

Lori, I had this issue as well. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but hopefully it will help you out. You have to disconnect the bluetooth from your iPad if you want it to connect to your iPhone again (and vice versa). It can only connect to one device at a time, and for some reason, it won't automatically disconnect the previous device you used it with. So in your case, you probably need to go into your iPad settings, and either disconnect the device in your Bluetooth settings, or just turn bluetooth off. Once that happens you should be able to pair your phone with it again. Hope this helps. :) Lori, I had this issue as well. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but hopefully it will help you out.
