Is there a way to get it to reconnect to the bluetooth device after it dies without turning it off and on again? (the switch on mine seems to have broken, and I don't want to throw it away because the sound is too good!)

You'd have to reconnect it through the phone but mine usually reconnects after being dead.

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

Hi Sheryl -- please reach out to us at support@lil-gadgets.com so we can diagnose a little bit better. Here's a quick link on the Bluetooth feature http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201175740 so please give that shot. Otherwise, we're glad to assist by email. Thank you.

you have to remove it from your bluetooth devices on I-phone. then pair it back up again.

For mine I hold the power button firmly for about ten seconds. Takes longer than you'd think. I turn it off from the FM setting. Pressing the power button quickly cycles between FM and Bluetooth. It will play a sound and go off. Hope this works for you.

When that happened to me it was because I muted the Bluetooth. I seriously can't recall how to reverse the mute, so I usually just turn the Bluetooth off and turn it back on. It's a mild inconvenience but it works.

You have to make sure your bluetooth is turned on on your Ipad. Make sure you scan and connect for device. If it does not connect right away, turn off speaker and then turn back on again. And make sure the speaker is charged. It's got about a 4-6 hr life if used constantly. It took me a couple tries to get it to connect but once it did it works great. Or as a previous person posted, you can also connect it like you would an earbud, but then you are limited to cord distance. I've had my speaker in the other room from where my pad was located. Works great. Hope you get it to work. :)

Let me tell U, my work perfect no stop play as long I want, i think if U do every thing again like erase from bluetooth and setup again, see I take my bose to the bathroom when I took a shower and Iphone stays at the living room. Try I believe U can fix it.

Have you turned it off and on and then synced it with your bluetooth device again?

Unfortunately I was unable to get it to pair with any of my devices. Not sure if I got a faulty one or some other error. I bought aBelkin F8Z492TTP Bluetooth Music Receiver on Amazon. Are any of your devices able to recognize it's trying to pair with your respective device? Because none of mine could find the darn thing.

I have had this be an issue with some of my streaming music services. The issue apparently was with them as they released patches to fix that. I would connect it with the cord and see if you have the same issues. It might just be interference of the Bluetooth signal etc.

Interesting you should ask because I have this question as well and thought I found a solution yesterday (fingers crossed). Answer to your question is yes based on my experience and here are my findings, the speaker goes powers itself off after a period of inactivity, however, I find that if you pair it with your bluetooth device and then add the speaker to the wifi network it will remain on, at least that's how I did it and still on after overnight.

Is your bluetooth on? Make sure you go to settings and turn it on. Did it come with a charger? It may need to be charged also.Mine had a on/off switch in top right corner on the side..i couldnt see it. Had to really look for it.

I'm not sure that you haven't tried this, but perhaps the problem is at the point of activating the pairing mechanism. Apologies in advance if you did this and it doesn't work. Push the button on the top of the right hand ear piece. After 5+ seconds you will hear one beep meaning it has turned on. Keep pressing until you hear a second, quick, double beep and let up on the button. On your iphone go to settings, bluetooth, and look for Freedom Spirit in the listing of available bluetooth devices and press it. You should hear a confirmatory beep in your ear piece (have at least the left one in your ear so you can listen for this) and if you do it should be connected. Beyond this, I am afraid I do not have expertise, or experience in resolving it, but would strongly suggest contacting the manufacturer to get a replacement as it's possible it's defective. I've had good experience with mine in the 2-3 months I've had it. Good luck!

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 have had mine for over a year and have not had an issue. Depending on what you are hooking it up to you should be able to look at the devices that are paired and see what is connected. If not I would follow Duain's advise as far as the Bluetooth connection troubleshooting is concerned, however I would first hook it up wired first to see if the speaker still works. Also, plug it into the wall while doing the troubleshooting. Then, when you are done and find it works (hopefully) unplug it from the wall to check the battery function. You might also try the usb dongle (if you are not using it) to boost the signal. I have had mine for over a year and have not had an issue.

Hi John, I do not care for this device. It does act weird. I think you are to hold the on/off button down a few seconds. My Bluetooth part of the radio never worked. I actually don't even use this device.
