Why won't my speaker connect to my device?

The bluetooth on my device is on, but it is having trouble connecting to the speaker. What should I do to fix this?

ANSWERS:

"Bose SoundLink Color Troubleshooting

Cannot pair speaker with Bluetooth® device

Try these steps to resolve your issue:

Make sure your speaker is discoverable. Press Bluetooth until the Bluetooth indicator slowly blinks blue

Make sure Bluetooth is turned ON or enabled on your device

Make sure you select “Bose Color SoundLink” in you device's pairing list and that the connection is confirmed by your device

Your Bluetooth device may be out of range. Try moving it closer to the speaker

If possible, turn off all other nearby Bluetooth devices or disable their Bluetooth functionality

Make sure your Bluetooth device supports the A2DP (stereo Bluetooth) profile

When connecting to a PC or Mac computer, make sure to select the Bose® SoundLink® Color speaker as the audio output device within the audio settings menu of the device. You may need to play an audio track to finalize the connection (see the device manufacturer for detailed instructions)

Try resetting your speaker. For more information, see Restoring your system's factory settings

Check for updated software for your Bluetooth device, or go to owners.Bose.com for updates to the Bose® SoundLink® Color speaker

"This worked for me....!To reset the Bose SoundLink Speaker:

On the speaker, press and hold the Mute button for 10-12 seconds or until the LED Indicators Flash

The speaker should now be powered off, now press the Power button to power the speaker back on.

Now, try connecting your Bluetooth device to the Bose SoundLink Wireless Speaker."

I just had this same problem with my iPhone. The speaker said it was connected to my phone and my Bluetooth list said connected. The LED light on the speakers keep flashing and the music was still playing from my phone, so it obviously was not connected despite both devices saying it was. I went to my Bluetooth settings and clicked 'forget this device'. The Bose came up again under devices, so I clicked to connect and it fixed the problem. Working just like it should now.

Everything I tried from online wasn't working for me to resolve the issue of Bluetooth connection.

Tried all of the above to no avail. Any other suggestions?

I have a Chromebook and i want to connect it to my samsung sound system(Samsung mx f 630) but it won't connect
