Anker Soundcore Flare Mini Troubleshooting

The speaker is unresponsive when hitting the power button.

The battery of the speaker could be dead. If this is the case the speaker needs to be plugged in. Try that first, and if the issue is not resolved, the battery could be faulty. This would mean that a replacement battery may be necessary. Check out this battery replacement guide!

When the speaker has been in use for a while, it is likely that the battery could be dead. Plugging in the speaker and letting it charge is the best way to solve this problem.

Tip: If the lights on the speaker are on and the volume is set high, it will drain the battery life faster, so turn off the bottom lights and lower the volume of the speaker!

If you are using the speaker outdoors, it could have overheated. Put the speaker in a shaded area or bring it inside to cool off. After letting the speaker cool off, try turning it back on.

If the power button is not responding, press and hold all of the buttons for 30 seconds and it should turn on.

Your device will not connect to the speaker

Your speaker may be out of range. Try moving your device closer to the speaker.

Tip: Turning the Bluetooth on your device off and on again may sometimes resolve the issue.

Make sure another device isn’t connected to the speaker.

Tip: Turning the speaker off and on again will disconnect any device it is connected to.

If multiple devices attempt to connect to the speaker at the same time, the speaker will have problems. Try to limit the number of devices connected to one if possible.

If you go through every other solution and you think the problem has to do with the hardware itself, the component might need replacing. The hardware that controls Bluetooth connections on speakers is housed within the main circuit board. For the Anker Soundcore Flare Mini, that will be the motherboard.

The sound from the speaker is distorted or muffled.

Using the speaker on full volume for long periods of time can distort the audio after a while. To prevent this, you can either turn the volume down on the speaker or don’t have it at max volume for long periods of time.

If the device connected to the speaker is too far away, the audio from the speaker will sound distorted. If your device is out of this range, simply move it closer to the speaker and that should solve your problem.

Fun Fact: Bluetooth connection uses waves to connect to speakers!

If there are a lot of Bluetooth devices being used at the same time within range of your speaker, the connection between your device and your speaker could be interrupted.

To solve this problem, try to remove or turn off any additional devices within range of your speaker.

Fun Fact: The driver extremely important to the output of sound from the speaker.

If the sound quality of the speaker has greatly declined and or not working at all, there is a chance that there is a problem with the drivers. Either they could be malfunctioning or not working at all. In this case, they need to be replaced. Check out this driver replacement guide!

Plugging the speaker into the charger will not charge the device.

Broken chargers are not uncommon. Double-check to see that the charger is functioning properly. If it is not, a replacement charger will need to be purchased.

Using the speaker outside creates the possibility of dirt and debris getting inside the charging port. If this is the case, use a toothpick or compressed air to clean out the debris inside the port.

Batteries are sometimes defective or just stop working. If you can determine that it is the battery is not working instead of the charge, it will need to be replaced. Check out this battery replacement guide!

The outer shell of the speaker is damaged in some way

This is a very likely scenario because the outer shell is made to be waterproof and durable, but the speaker being dropped is very possible. For whatever reason the outer shell needs to be removed or replaced, check out this waterproof outer shell replacement guide!
