I have a iphone 5s and when using bluetooth, the soundbot is undetectable. Is my soundbot defective?

Not sure if this is a defect or a "feature". :) I have paired my phone with the SoundBot but sometimes it does not detect it when reconnecting. Usually unplugging the power for a second fixes it.

I have the same phone, for mine I had to touch and hold down the Bluetooth button (leftmost button on the top) for like 2 seconds, wait for it to beep then it came up on my phone.

Try pressing the blue tooth link (front most left sensor button) while searching for soundbot on the iphone. Hope this helps. Tony

Looks like it is. It should pick it up right away. I had a similar issue and returned mine.

The best thing I can think of is to 'delete' the speaker as a device from whatever you were synching it to, then have it 'discover' the speaker again. I seem to remember having to try that when I had been synching it to my iPhone, then switched over to almost exclusively using it with my Macbook.

I had a similar problem my daughter and I had both paired our iPhones to the JBL speaker and what we had to do was turn off one So the other could connect or just disable Bluetooth for the one that you do not want to stream music from. Try that it may help

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

I have the Backbeat 903 and it works well- the pause also works- just push in the right speaker buton and release it- to un-pause push itin again and release it. Also if a problem occurs, try this- push in and hold the power button, and plug it in to the charger while holding the power button in, with the charger plugged in. Somehow this resets the headset, and it does work, I have done this one time and had no other problems. I use it with the Iphone 3gs exclusively.

Turn them both off, Bluetooth only on iPhone, then turn them on again. Should work. If not they will replace it

I have an iPhone 5s and the buttons don't work for volume or to switch songs with any of the players; I have Spotify & Pandora but neither work...great sound though.

I don't think there is any Bluetooth connectivity here. My iPad does not see it. My iPhone 4S does not see it. There is no Bluetooth symbol or sticker on the speakers anywhere. I'm not sure what the item description: "Superb gaming sound effects via Bluetooth,DBB to preserve low tones for deep bass at any volume level." is referring to. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has connected to it themselves as it would be useful to have my iPad oriented horizontally (for movies) and still use the speakers (undocked).

It me again, I was able to set up the speaker with my daughter's iPhone5, easily done. Then I attempted to connect my laptop. It was discovered and connected but still would not play. Weird???? Hope you get some other responses

Ask your iPod to search for blue tooth devices. Found in the gear icon. The speaker has a button on the side, kinda like a circle. Hold it until the unit beeps and you should see a new icon on the lower right of the screen in the music app. This shows when you are playing music. That's all I do. My phone knows the speaker pass code.

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.

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.

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.

Here are some suggestions: 1. Make sure your battery level is high. 2. Try settings /Connections/Bluetooth/Hit menu button/Visibility Timeout/Never.

I did not have a problem with my Mac detecting them and I have Mavericks as well. Do you have the Bluetooth symbol at the top part of your screen on your desktop? I just clicked it and the Plantronics device appeared. If you have already synced the headphones to another device that is in range, you need to disabled Bluetooth on the other device before trying to pair the headphones to your Mac. You can only use them on one device at a time.

Verify bluetooth is enabled on your device (tablet/smartphone). This is what the instructions booklet has...Turn on the speaker, it goes into bluetooth mode automatically, the blue indicator flashes quickly (this is hard to see in normal lite room); The blue indicator flashes slowly after connection with one device. My iPhone saw the device but took a minute to connect. Let me know if you would like me to copy the booklet for you, would just need an email address if you want it. Later, AS
