How to Fix JBL Flip 6 Speakers that Keep Disconnecting

Why do my JBL flip 6 speakers keep disconnecting?

The main reason why your JBL flip 6 speakers keep disconnecting repeatedly is either because they are far away from your phone/ computer or because they’re facing power issues.

 

Causes

  • Too much distance from phone/ computer.
  • Your speakers are facing power issues.

 

Too much distance

If there’s too much distance between your JBL flip 6 speakers and the computer/ phone, they’re connected to, your speakers will begin disconnecting. This is a sign that you are moving out of the Bluetooth range of your devices and that you need to bring them closer to each other.

 

Power issues

There are 2 kinds of power issues your speakers can face to cause this issue. The first and the most common issue is that you’re running out of battery. Low battery manifests by repeated disconnections, so if your speakers aren’t connecting properly, or disconnecting repeatedly, take it as your sign to charge them.

 

The second kind of power issue is more serious than this. In this issue, it is not that you haven’t sufficiently charged your speaker, only that the speaker’s battery has deteriorated so much that it can no longer sustain its charge for long.

 

Why do my JBL flip 6 speakers keep cutting out?

Your JBL flip 6 speakers keep cutting out repeatedly either because they’re facing interference from a device using the same frequency, because your speakers are low on power, or because you are treading out of your speaker’s Bluetooth range.

 

Causes

  • Signal interference
  • Low battery
  • Bluetooth out of range

 

Signal interference

Devices that use the same frequency as your speakers sometimes cause interference. Typically, this will be any device that uses a 2.4GHz frequency. When this happens, you need to place this ‘other’ device far away from your speakers- otherwise, the interference will continue.

Low battery

If your speakers are low on charge, they won’t have the power to sustain their connection to your phone/ computer or play music, so when your speakers start cutting off out of nowhere, your first instinct should be to charge them up.

 

Bluetooth out of range

The most common reason why your JBL flip 6 speakers will cut off while playing music is that they’re too far away from your phone/ computer. Bluetooth allows you the freedom to move your speakers around while playing your favorite music, but this freedom isn’t limitless. If your speakers begin to cut off, bring them closer to your phone/ computer.

Why do my JBL flip 6 speakers keep skipping music?

The reason why your JBL flip 6 speakers keep skipping music is that they’re getting interference from a device sharing their frequency.

 

When your JBL speakers skip music without you pressing the “next song” button, it is usually because they’ve received signals to do so from some other source. Devices that use the same frequency as your speakers can sometimes interfere with them, so when you notice your speakers are skipping music, put them away from any device that might share their frequency. Typically, this includes any device that has a frequency of 2.4GHz.

Deteriorated battery

Another reason why your speaker may be powering down the instant you turn it on is because its battery has deteriorated severely. This means that it doesn’t matter how long you charge it because its battery has lost its capacity to sustain its charge. In such cases, have your speaker looked at by an expert technician. See whether a repair is possible.

One possible reason why your JBL flip 6 speakers are not connecting to your computer is that you haven’t enabled Bluetooth in the settings of your computer. This is the first thing you should check for when you’re facing a connectivity issue.

 

Low battery

Your speakers use power to play your favorite music and maintain Bluetooth connections with your devices.

Plug your speakers into a power source immediately as you face these issues.

Your speaker’s battery is low.

The reason why your JBL flip 6 isn’t connecting to your Samsung phone is either because of some random glitch, because your speaker’s battery is low, or because your speaker is out of range.

 

Random glitch

Sometimes, there is nothing more to a Bluetooth connectivity issue than a random glitch. It is difficult to say what causes these glitches, but all you need to know is that the problem is temporary. All you need to do in case you come across a glitch-related connectivity issue is restart your speakers. Don’t reset it to factory settings; a simple restart will do.

 

Low battery

Your speakers need the power to maintain their regular functions. If you face a connectivity issue with your speakers, rule out the possibility that this is a power-related issue by charging your speakers and then trying to connect again.

 

Speaker out of range

Another way to fix such connectivity issues is to keep your speaker next to the device you’re trying to connect it with. This will ensure that your devices are well-within each other’s Bluetooth range- hence minimizing the possibility of such an issue arising.
