Hi. I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'm going to talk through how to factory reset a JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth speaker.
There are plenty of good reasons to want to restore your JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth speaker to its default factory settings. Maybe there is someone whose device is currently paired with the speaker who you don't want to be able to use any longer. Maybe your getting ready to sell it. Or, maybe your experiencing problems with your device and you just want to start with a clean slate to see if that solves the problem. Regardless of your reason, you can reset your JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth speaker to its original factory settings in a matter of seconds.
And now, the steps to factory reset the JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth speaker.
Step 1. Turn the JBL Flip 4 speaker on. You can tell the device is on when the Power button has a blue backlight.
Step 2. Hold both the "Volume Up" and "Play" buttons down until the device turns off by itself. You can tell the device has powered down when the blue backlight behind the Power button is no longer on, and when you hear the standard power down sound. At this point, you have successfully reset the JBL Flip 4 to its factory default settings.
Step 3. Press the "Power" button again to power the Bluetooth speaker back on. The device will automatically be in discovery mode, which is indicated by the pinging sound it makes shortly after you turn it on, and by the blinking of the backlight behind the Power button. At this point, there are no devices paired with your JBL Flip 4 speaker, and you'll need to either pair a device with it or connect a device to it using a 3.5mm audio cable for it to play any audio.

[@shameemsgs2]

Thanks a lot bro.. u solved a major issue.. love u..

[@eastendmuzik]

It's how you get your video rated higher. U need to say the title of your video in your video a few times.

[@shaunatate]

Life saver dude. I let folks in the house borrow it because I was not using until I replaced my phone. Got new phone but it wouldn't pair for 2 weeks. Was about to give it away because no one in the house would admit they had a device that was still paired to it. And I couldn't figure out what device was preventing me from pairing my new phone.
Did a reset, now it works.
Thanks!

[@MaxDalton]

Glad you got things pointed the right direction. Thanks for watching!

[@robertcarscadden1482]

Nice, Max. Very clear and useful video with not a lot of fluff. Saved me time. I was thinking my new phone was broken, and your video showed me that it was a simple speaker reset. Big thanks!

[@logan7034]

Huge help. My speaker couldn't connect to anything and now it works perfect. Thanks dude man

[@miapettermann2687]

[@degracesaint-dic8536]

The Best and Helpful Video I've watched on RUclips. Thanks to you Max Dalton

[@MaxDalton]

Awesome. I needed that. I just got through reading a string a mean comments on other videos, lol. Thanks for watching!

[@alexinaanderson2798]

Yay can’t believe it was a simple fix as this I’ve been struggling for weeks trying to connect it to my iPhone , thank you!

[@pankajnegi5208]

Max thank you so much...I was tired...my device was not connecting with flip 4... THANKS MAN ❤️

[@Its_doebillz]

Thanks so much for the assistance, this really helped.. I have been finding it hard to connect my JBL to another phone . But now solved 😁

[@sandranewman5067]

Thank you. I changed from Bose to jbl. I never had an issue with Sony. My Sony: it would no longer take a charge 😡. Very sad. It’s not that old. 😫. I’m using jbl now. I was extremely frustrated. You rock.

[@MaxDalton]

Glad this helped you out.

[@noone2103]

Worked on my JBL Charge 3 ! It was cutting off every time I was playing music (would connect but disconnect as soon as i would play music). Work perfectly now. Thanks !

[@MaxDalton]

Awesome. Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching!

[@china1013]

THANK YOU!!!
I couldn't connect anymore to a different JBL speaker of mine.
This did the trick.

[@MaxDalton]

Very cool. Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching!

[@viviper4]

Thanks..this means a lot! You are the best!🖤

[@diamond_heartt]

I've had connectivity issues with my JBL speaker for a couple weeks now. I'd turn it off and on several times, trying to connect it to my MacBook, but it was always the same issue: It'd make the sound that it successfully connected and the bluetooth preferences would confirm that, but the sound would stay playing from my laptop. I was sad thinking I'd need to replace the speaker after only 6 months of use, but resetting it worked perfectly. Thanks for the clear and concise video Max! :)

[@MaxDalton]

You’re welcome. Glad this helped you out.

[@jMOPS1993]

Thanks for the video! Couldn’t get mine to pair yesterday. Reset it today and connected it and still couldn’t get audio. Unpaired and paired again then hit play button on my speaker and it’s finally working again. 👍🏻

[@upandenergy]

My JBL Flip 3 suddenly started sounding muffled and tinny. This fixed it right away. Thank you!

[@Otiesh]

Man great I was having trouble with mine and the Bluetooth just couldn't pare. You sorted me out and thanks, now I can go drive my RC car and enjoy the music. Have a nice day.

[@MaxDalton]

Very cool. Glad I could help you get pointed the right direction. Enjoy driving the RC car!

[@user-fw6vk1hb5y]

Thank you very much. I tried a lot of time to connect the speaker to my phone and did not succeed because of you I succeeded. Thanks *israel*

[@MaxDalton]

Awesome! Glad you got it going.

[@MrAzwipe]

THANK YOU! Other 'help' sites wanted me to reset my phone, which scared me because I can't remember my PIN. Your video fixed the problem perfectly. One note: my Flip 4 maybe an older version?? Instead of a 'play' button, there is a phone insignia. Thanks again!

[@MaxDalton]

Yeah, I don't think anyone should have to reset their phone to make this work.

[@Kayycartierr]
