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.

Turn on power push the bluetooth button for 10 seconds and if start blinking it searching for the device to be pair or to connect. If still the same problem the bluetooth speaker might be defective.

I would make sure your phone is in pairing mode then make sure the blue light on your speaker is on and blinking. Then press and hold the play button in speaker until the blue light blinks very fast. That's when it's actually in pairing mode. Once paired mine has worked fine but sometimes I've had to repeat this process. Good luck!

I have had this problem, on occasion. With mine I have just held on button for a couple of long seconds and then wait for another couple of long seconds and it comes on. Sometimes if I get impatient I push the on button repeatedly and nothing happens. That's not nearly as aggravating as having the sound only work when it wants to.

i believe the blue light goes off...mine does. it should hold a charge until drained by charging your phone, radio ,etc... u may have a defective unit.

I recall depressing the blue tooth button until it sync's the light should go from yellow to blue. If the power button is red all the time, you may not be holding the charge. I haven't used mine in a while, so I really can't help much here.

I had the same problem, it worked once then stopped. Paired great with both my husband's iPhone and mine but not the iPad. After many frustrating tries my husband turned off Bluetooth on all of our devices, even removing a few from the list, turned the speakers and Bluetooth off and on (many times) and finally he was successful. Such a frustrating experience. I would love to know what causes this.

Could you just plug the jam into the Sirus/XM unit instead of the blue tooth transmitter? I've only used it with blue tooth on my lap top and my lap top shows me the jam when it detects it...not familiar with the Anker blue tooth...but you could try turning the jam on and off again so it detects it...and make sure its charged...not that you haven't maybe done all that yet...but its usually always the little things....oh...and make sure its close to the blue tooth transmitter...then move it once you have it going...hopefully you can figure it out...sorry I couldn't be of anymore help...only going off my own experience. Good Luck!!

I am wondering the same thing, I don't think it is possible to stop it. i will be sending it back because of this unless someone has a solution. My family is ready to kill me, the stereo is always on and every time I walk upstairs or back, or drive away or come back home my phone automatically connects and it makes the loud noise through the stereo.

I left mine charging overnight, just to be sure. Unbelievably, I haven't charged it again in weeks and its still going strong! I'd recharge it every few weeks or so to make sure you get a good sound. The red light is just to acknowledge that its connected and charging, if it comes on and is plugged in. It also makes a bloop sound when you press and hold the power button, to acknowledge that it is ready to be paired with your bluetooth device to play music. When you are ready to turn it off and disconnect bluetooth, you press and hold the power button for a few sec. and you will hear the sound again before it shuts off. That's how I preserve the battery. I've never heard distortion or feedback. Maybe its time to charge it if thats what you are getting.

Make sure you UN pair your phone if it's already paired with another blue tooth device. Also when you power up your head set make sure you hold the button down for 15 seconds. I thought it didn't work either but those were the two things I did to get out tho pair

Try fully charging the speaker first.If that does'nt work,get in touch with the seller you bought the speaker from.

You need to turn it on with the switch. Once you do that it will connect to the last bluetooth device it was connected to. In case if you leave it on and it goes in standby sometimes you need to press the switch on the front side. So far I was able to connect it automatically although I used it for home purpose and not in car.

There is an 'AUX IN' port on the back. I've only used it via Bluetooth. If you read my review yup see that mine stopped working after less than 7mo. Suddenly stopped holding charge!

Try turning your Bluetooth on and off, that works for me when I lose connection, beats going over and unplugging speakers

This happened to me once, too. It'll come back. I unplugged mine for a while, then tried again (like, the next day) and it was fine. It still occasionally gets stuck in limbo, but it usually only takes a few minutes without power, then plugging it back in. Also, I've noticed it does this less often if I take out the Bluetooth thingy in back. There's a little cover you can remove on the back with a little USB Bluetooth receiver in it. It's tricky to get your fingers in there, but once I pulled this out, my unit started working more reliably.

You can push the source button on the side.. If it's flashing blue it plays Bluetooth and if it's flashing red it plays the aux

Yes I have had the same problem. I think that it has to do with the AUX music device it's hooked up to, phone, iPod etc.... I haven't had it do that when I've used the built in radio. I believe if you go into the volume control of the device your using there should be a setting for that. Hope that helps�
