Does this turn off after some inactivity? If it does, do I have to manually turn it back on to resume playing music, or can I "wake" it from my iphone

Mine turns itself off, which for me is very desirable. I can never remember to turn it off. It needs to be turned back on manually.

Mine turns off after approx 20 mins of no input, no matter whether running on battery or plugged in, and no matter whether on Bluetooth or wired input. It must then be turned back on with the power switch. There is no way to defeat this, and I verified with JBL/Harmon Customer Support that this "Standby mode" is normal behavior. This is NOT mentioned in the skimpy user manual provided, and is completely UNsatisfactory for my desired use. It's getting returned, unfortunately.

It shuts off if left unattended for two minutes - you manually turn this on and format it to the instrument you are playing and then shut it off once you have finished tuning...if you do not turn it off and you leave it clipped to your (guitar for ex.)it will keep reading what you play...and use up the battery too....

It will connect automatically , but it won't start playing . You have to hit play either on the screen or on your device. The player will put the song on pause when you turn off the car and unless it's playing when you connect it you have to unpause it.

When it plays music on the alarm function, is it music only, or the alarm sound as well? (I have one that simultaneously also beeps while it's on wake with music, I do not want one like that ever again.)

Well I had mine shut off for two days. when I fired it up last night it started playing back the song right in the middle where it was when I had turned it off. It always starts playback where I left off and I have owned it for a week.

The unit has a battery saving device built in to it.If the unit does not detect sound play on the device it will turn itself off after awhile.

It does not shut off. I use it all the time with a white noise app, and my iphone alarm alerts me to wake up (much to my dismay!) . I have used it a few times without the white noise app, and my iphone alarm still goes off and wakes me up.

My phone (HTC One X) disables music when the phone rings and during the call, and starts it up again when the call ends. Dunno if this answers your question but yeah.

I think it works that way. I notice it go to sleep mode after a while if no activities. There are couple settings at the bottom of the speaker for sleep mode settings. I love this speaker.

It will not wake up on it own, but you can turn it on with the free Yamaha remote app on your smart phone or tablet via wifi. If you have it on and air play to it it will automatically switch to your music. Sorry to say it does not airplay video like the Apple TV. I have a iPhone 5 so I don't see you having a problem with the iPhone 5s.

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.

No, you won't. When your phone rings, the bluetooth phone connection takes over. Once you are done, music is back on.

As long as music is paying through ours, it stays on, but once it goes idle for a little while (about an hour I'd say, but I never timed it) it will shut off automatically.

It will play music and interrupt when talking then resume when properly set up. I don't thjnk most would want to talk over music anyway. Just my opinion.

Here is how it works with my iPhone: There is only one button so you can pause and play with one click, skip. With two clicks, and restart the song with three clicks. You can't control the volume though.

Micah is correct. There will be a decending tone...hold down after that...then it will turn off. I leave my phone playing through it as I do this. That way I know it is turned off.
