Why is my bluetooth speaker randomly turning off? (JBL Xtreme)

Why is my bluetooth speaker randomly turning off? (JBL Xtreme)

Recently I've been experiencing some difficulties with my JBL Xtreme. The device will randomly turn off after about half an hour or so when not charging, even when fully charged. When it turns off I am able to start it again, but the problem only gets worse and it'll turn off again after only a couple of minutes. Eventually it becomes impossible to start at all until it's plugged back into the charger again. It boots up fully charged as well after that.

"Hi.

The same thing happens to my speakers after having them for not even a full 2 years. The company refuses to do anything about it since it's out of warranty. Since so many people have the same problem, with little to no recourse, I have decided to file a lawsuit. Please e-mail me @ mg.robinson718@gmail.com if this is an issue for you as well."

"I found out that with the unit on, if you press the JBL Connect button at the same time as pressing the volume down button, you hear a voice telling you the firmware version. Currently (Sept '16) its 7 4

This may be no help but perhaps it might reveal you aren't updating the unit successfully....."

"""If your JBL Xtreme only turns on whilst plugged in like mines did, dont panic, all you have to do is plug it in so it turns on, and hold the JBL CONNECT button beside the power button, and volume up, until the fifth light flashes red, then unplug the speaker and press the power button, I thought the battery was just finished but it wasnt, very happy""

This is just a guess but it could be that these speakers just have a problem where the battery quickly goes bad. There could also be some mass defect that's affecting so many. Best suggestion is to just buy a new one.

I think that they may be junk because im on my 2nd one in under a year. the new replacement is doing the same thing out of the box. no need for a 3rd one unless they correct the problems. will probably write it off and go with a competitor.
