I had the Jaybird for a few months now, but it wont hold a charge anymore. One day it just stopped. Is there any solutions?

I believe I have found the answer. I suspected it was the weirdo USB cable it shipped with. I bought a new one, and it charges just fine. It's annoying that it uses a non-standard USB connector. My headphones are just fine now. Currently, i've positioned my charging cable so that it never really twists and turns, which is what I think caused the original problem. I think the internals of the cable just aren't very good.

It happened to me also. Sorry, no solution. If you want to try them again, I suggest purchasing an extended warranty from some place like best buy.

We called the company when this happened and they had us return them and they sent us a brand new pair.

The same thing happened to me. I eventually threw them away. I could listen to music if they were plugged in. This defeated the Bluetooth concept. I will not be purchasing any more items from jay bird.

Are you turning it off after use? You need to hold the power button down until the little light turns red. I was having to charge it every time I used it until I realized it needed to be turned off. I thought it would just shut off like the ipod does after a bit of time. Now that I turn it off, I can used it for many runs before needing to charge it.

I think not using them for such a long time has killed the battery. I have left regular chargeable batteries sit for a long time and they would not charge either. I think regular use is the key.

Try using Giff Gaff ,it's the cheapest one I found in the uk,you can recharge it at many places.

i came here to ask same thing. love the speaker, really loud but battery went bad really fast and now i can only get about an hour use before it goes dead :'( and from others say i guess it's just a matter of time before it doesn't work at all.

I have several of the Pyle units... They work very well. I have bought similar units that would not charge up. I tried a new battery but it would not work. I think it if you just bought the item it is best to return it as a defective unit and have them send you another. I will say when you get a Pyle unit that works... they do work well.

I got the "not charging" message quite a few time. I unplugged it and tried again.. Then it worked. Not well. But it worked.

Have you completely charged the battery? Maybe after charging, try to shut down and recheck battery status. I did not have any issues with mine, I just popped mine in and it worked great. It said they had a great support system, I would give Anker a call. Good Luck!

I believe the company is out of business. They no longer have a website (filled with ads now). When my iMaingo X battery depletes, I plug into the charger. Doesn't take long to go from red light to green light. But it works. Other speakers (Bluetooth) produce better sound for music (Amazon Basic and JBL Charge are great). I use iMaingo for playing back bird calls only. Having said that, I still like the portability of the speaker so ordered 2 more X (can't lose at $22 each) and one iMaingo 2 ($19) that uses regular AAA batteries in case these other 2 X's develop battery problems as well. I wonder how long ago the company went out of business. The Twitter acc't hasn't shown activity for a few years. I believe the company is out of business.

I had the same problem. The reality is it isn't a very good tablet. You buy a 99 dollar tablet...you get a 99 dollar tablet. I had mine for 5 months and it stopped taking a charge. I learned my lesson.

I had the same thing happen. Unplug and use system to deplete power and then recharge. May take a couple uses but mine bounced right back and recharges fine now. Also holds a longer charge now. The more you use it, the better it seems to perform.

If you gave it time to fully charge, there shouldn't be a problem. I've had no problems with mine holding a charge. Contact Amazon. If it's faulty, they'll replace it quickly.

Thanks for your suggestions, Bubba. I did try to charge it from my computer as well without success. I've had the iPod for a little over a year and probably didn't use it enough. The functionality of a GPS would have increased its usefulness to me immensely, but adding the cost of a battery replacement to this cradle makes this a rather expensive move. To be sure, I'll follow your tip and try a different cable, but I'm not overly optimistic at this point.Edit: The USB cable *was* the culprit. Got a new one today and just ordered my GPS cradle...

Add me to the list - not sure when it started, a few weeks ago we noticed it b/c we charged it and then it was dead. Figured it got bumped in wife's purse or hadn't charged long enough but now I've been trying to charge it and see the on/off cycling going on. No answer, just sympathy and hope for a fix!

I had the same problem. returned the battery to amazon. in the past I purchased an Anker battery and it worked great, but couldn't find that brand available now.

Try a different cable, or a different charger, maybe discharge it completely and recharge.

My friend has two of them and soand they are constantly being used, however they both did the same thing at one time or another, just after warranty ended LOL we took ours to batteries plus and they put a new battery pack in them after testing. So you might want to try that option!

Actually, mine just wouldn't charge either. I ended up not using them after they ran out of 'juice'. I know this isn't helpful but at least you know there might be a universal problem with the Tenqa REMXD and may want to seriously think about returning yours if you can. I was abroad at the time so couldn't return mine, otherwise I would have for sure!
