How to Reset Anker Speaker? (The Ultimate Guide)

So, Yesterday I was enjoying music on my favorite Anker Soundcore 2 Bluetooth speaker, and suddenly the speakers stopped playing music. It was in the middle of a song after working perfectly fine for quite some time. I wanted to reset the Anker speaker because it is not responding and not evening pairing with my smartphone. But I could not find anything online about it. So, finally, after searching for hours, I found out how to do it.

Possible Fix For The Problem:

Since this is not an old speaker and it’s pretty new, I doubt there is something wrong with the speaker itself. It might be a software bug that caused this. On the other hand, the problem was probably caused by some background app or process that suddenly stopped working, leaving the speaker unstable until I reset it.

Anker Bluetooth speaker not connecting to Bluetooth devices

If you are facing the problem of Anker Bluetooth speaker not connecting to your smartphone or any other Bluetooth device, then you might want to try out these troubleshooting steps. If one method does not work for you, I am sure the others will. So, without wasting any more time let’s get straight into these methods.

1. Forget the Device from the smartphone

If you are facing a problem, then you might want to forget that particular Bluetooth device and connect it again. This should not cause any problems because that device was already paired with your Anker speaker before. Follow these instructions to forget/un-pair a Bluetooth device on Android and IOS phones.

On Android:

Go to Settings > Tap “Device Connection” then tap “Bluetooth”. And Turn ON the Bluetooth of your phone.

Now, tap the name of the device that you want to forget. And Unpair it.

On IOS:

Go to settings> Tap “Bluetooth”. Turn “ON” the Bluetooth on your IOS device.

Now, tap the “i” button of the Anker Soundcore Bluetooth speaker device name. Tap Forget the device.

2. Check to see whether the Soundcore speaker is within range.

Bluetooth devices must be within at least 20 feet of each other in order to establish a Bluetooth connection. If things aren’t working, try bringing the gadgets closer together. It will automatically pair with the last paired device when in range.

If the Bluetooth speakers are out of range the sound quality will be poor.

3. Update the Operating System of your Phone

Another possible reason for this issue could be that your current operating system is outdated or not supported by your Bluetooth device anymore. So, you might have to update the operating system on your phone to fix this problem. Follow these instructions to check if your Android Phone can run a newer version of the Operating System.

Settings > About phone > Android Version (Or Software info)

If the version is out-of-date, then you might have to update your operating system. If updating does not work, then it might be possible that your Bluetooth device is no longer compatible with your old operating system. So, you will have to make sure to use an operating system that is supported by your Bluetooth device.

4. Reset Anker Speaker

This is another easy fix for this problem. It might sound a little bit weird, but it has worked out great for me and many other people who faced the same issue as I did.

So, if you are facing this problem, then resetting your Anker speaker might be a great option for you to try out. Resetting your Soundcore speaker also improves the sound quality of your Bluetooth speaker.

I hope these methods have managed to fix your problem with Anker Speaker not connecting properly via Bluetooth.

Anker Soundcore 2 not turning on

Make sure that your speaker has enough battery life. Even if you connect the USB charging cable to a totally drained battery, the speaker will not turn on immediately. Before you turn it on, charge the device for around one hour.

While charging a speaker indicates a red light and when it’s fully charged the red LED light turns into white light.

Final Words:

I would like to say that you should try this method before deciding to replace your device with a new one. Some app or a background task might cause this problem, and in most cases, it can be fixed by resetting your Anker Speaker.

I have personally used Anker Soundcore 1, Anker Soundcore 2, and Anker Soundcore 3 Bluetooth speakers, and I found them very amazing.
