hello, i want to discuss this problem as it started happening to my JBL flip 5. (mind my grammar), it was working perfectly fine the day before this happened. first, i connected my speaker to my phone as usual, but it would say it has connected. it did show that the device connected on the JBL Flip 5 with the bluetooth light solid on. but a second or two later, it disconnected. and the same thing happened across all my devices i connected it to, i also referred to resetting the speaker by pressing the plus and play button. but still did the same thing. i don't know if this is an issue with other JBL Flip 5's out there. or its a BT receiver issue, i don't know. if anyone can tell me why my speaker is acting the way it is and/or if there is a way to fix the issue. it would be very appreciated. thanks.

Try a hard reset

JBL Flip 5 Reset

  1. Power on your device.
  2. Press and hold the play and the volume + buttons at the same time.
  3. Maintain this position for about 5 secs.
  4. The device will power off as it restores to the factory default.
  5. Power on your Flip 5 again, and it will have restored to the factory default.
  6. (copied from the internet 😉)

What a worthless, absent answer. I'm sooo glad this account was deleted. Copy pasting FAQ should be grounds for account deletion. We don't waste our time on a forum until we already wasted our time on your faq. Wasting *more* time finding out that it's *you* saying *that* makes it even more annoying. At what point do we get to charge money to companies for wasting our time with their incompetence?

This did not work for me on my flip 5, however I found another answer that said to hold the play and volume down buttons for a few seconds. This resulted in the device powering off and resetting. The device has become responsive again. Hope this helps in case the other method doesn't work.
