Review on 🔊 Altec Lansing Super LifeJacket Jolt - Waterproof, Snowproof, Shockproof Speaker with Lights, Built-in Qi Wireless Charger, 30 Hour Battery Life, Blue (Floatable) by Christopher Millet

Sometimes it takes a while to reconnect and there are no prominent battery low warnings or battery status. I also wish it could be charged via USB rather than a proprietary charger. UPDATE 1: I deducted a star. The speaker stopped this morning. It disconnected from my phone and won't connect anymore. It also doesn't respond in any way to a combination or sequence of button presses. So it hangs and I can't turn it off. It also starts to overheat. Since I couldn't babysit it, I put it outside where there is less risk of the batteries exploding and the house burning down, and I'll see what happens when the battery dies and I'll charge it. From what I've read, this is a common problem with Altec Bluetooth speakers. I'll report back with another update once it's fixed. UPDATE 2: Another star has fallen. The problem with the fact that he turned off and didn't respond to anything just reappeared. It's only been a few days since it last happened. The same thing happened to my smaller version a few days ago. So this seems to be an issue with the While line of products. Since my window to replace via Revain has closed I will try Altec support. I will update again after contacting them. Update 3: Altec support gave me a reset procedure which turned out to be one of the procedures I found while looking for a solution. So no big revelations or help from tech support. Once the above problem occurs, you need to wait for the battery to die and then charge it before performing a reset. They don't seem to be able to update the firmware and I haven't found a match for the issue. This happens with both this speaker and my smaller version.
