Problems users might run into with the JBL Flip.
Flip won't charge or battery dies quickly
The Flip cannot hold a charge or does not satisfy the battery life that is advertised. Battery will need to be replaced. Visit the guide to fix battery issues here.
Flip's speakers has audio problems
The speakers do not produce any sound at all or the sound is very muffled you will have to replace the speakers. For speaker replacement click here
Buttons do not work easily
If the buttons do not respond you can slightly take apart the Flip to fix button issues. More than likely the sensors are not screwed on tightly enough.
Bluetooth does not work
Your Flip may not have a newer upgraded antenna; this can be fixed by introducing a new antenna. To upgrade the quality of your antenna visit the Bluetooth antenna replacement guide here.
Getting into the Flip
Most problems that occur will require disassembling the Flip. For instructions on how to disassemble the device see the following guide Back panel disassembly.

How can i turn the bluetooth off?
for example I connect the speaker to the PC with AUX connection, but still the bluetooth light keeps flashing as if it searches for a device.
Is it possible to turn the bluetooth off on the speaker so it will work only with AUX and stop looking for a bluetooth connection?
Thanks.

When it is fully charged and I set it aside and not use it, it will go dead in less than 2 days. Light is red when charged and blue when is on..I make sure light is off and it still dies

My flip 4, out of the box, would show the battery life via the 5 leds on the side near the power button. Now that doesn't seem to be the case. All 5 are either in or off at all times and I only see the life when I plug it in? I haven't damaged or dropped the speaker, any reason this would change?

Terrey. My Filp 3 volume buttons ceased working. can only adjust volume on the connected iPad
This happened once before but somehow corrected. Is this a Flip 3 fault or is it a setting on my iPad ?

Hi. I was charging my jbl flip 5 and I think I left it charging for a long time while it was playing. Then it suddenly stopped. I took it off from charging but the other buttons won’t work anymore. When I click on the other buttongs, the charging indicator light turns on. The bluetooth button doesn’t work too. I tried hard resetting it but it doesn’t reset. What do I do?
