JBL FLIP BLUETOOTH SPEAKER APPS UPDATE
The app will not even show you anything connected, since the last update I cannot even see the speakers despite multiple devices connected, iPad, iPhone etc. Same story for Harmon Kardon and their onyx studio 5 speaker. This minimizes the experience on these amazing and expensive speakers reduced to mono, the 1950s? This is 2019, and we still have mono sounding speakers. For instance, stereo mode (one of the main reasons they advertise their connect+ ) is not turned on by default. The new updates are getting worse and worse. I’m not sure what happened to the older apps, they worked great with my xtremes. Updating from 1 to 3 stars, would rate higher if it included EQ. The app itself doesn’t have any EQ functionality, the only apparent purpose is to allow stereo or party mode (Don’t own any other JBL products), and perform firmware upgrades. This isn’t a review of the speaker itself so I’ll leave that aside. Was able to perform firmware upgrade after that. It works fine using the JBL supplied cable and traditional USB-A charger. QA procedures for this app need to be improved.Įdit: Turns out issue is that the Charge 4 won’t charge using a USB-C standards compliant charger (Pixel charger or MacBook Pro charger). Button that states “I followed the instructions” is grayed out and can’t be selected.

I hit the upgrade button and it states “Plug the speaker into a power source and keep your phone close to JBL Charge 4 to continue.” I am close, and speaker is plugged in. Instructs me that the current running firmware is 2.7 and that there’s a 3.0 upgrade. Initially app would never find the speaker so I gave up for a while.
