The App has some cool little features such as the app shows you a smaller cartoon version of your speaker and lets you increase or decrease the volume by clicking on the + and – symbols on the cartoon speaker as well as being able to power the speaker on and off in the app. Our Boom 2 has indeed survived a few drops from the table or the top of the fridge with not even a scratch, so they are true to their word that it is indeed shock-resistant. The bottom of the speaker has two rubber flaps”, they open up to reveal the micro USB input for charging and the 3.5mm input.
#UE BOOM 2 CONNECT BLUETOOTH#
On the top of the speaker you’ll find the power button and another smaller button above which is the Bluetooth pairing button. The speaker can either be controlled by your phone or on the speaker itself, you will find the control + and – buttons on the front that control volume. Being Bluetooth, it means there are not pesky wires which we have experienced in some of the high end speakers.Ī protective fabric covering surrounds the speaker except for plastic bits that makes up the top, bottom, and front of the speaker. It also has a very strong Bluetooth connection, with a mobile range of play of up to 33m. So please if someone can add to this with some constructive imput beyond have you installed blueman would be much appreciated.As mentioned above the Boom 2 is waterproof and can be submerged in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes, so no need to worry if you accidently drop it in the pool or if its tarts to rain while outside. Lastly I am asking for imput and not just rambling here for my own amusement. Currently the UEBOOM2 speaker does not show up as an option and no option of A2DP is present (for that device) within PulseAudio. Could it be something to do with the Kernel in use ?( I have heard talk of this ) though I am not sure.Īlso to add that in the past I could see the option within Pulse Audio and it would give the choice of using a digital profile or analogue so I am aware of that.
#UE BOOM 2 CONNECT UPDATE#
Could it be that the UEBOOM2 device's ability to connect is diminished due to lack of not having an update (?) which would not work through my iphone and I cannot do through Linux currently.
UEBoom2 themselves said the device is not compatible with Linux, though I have had it working before. So I have had the device working in the past, it still works with an Iphone, Bluetooth is setup and working on my system but not connecting to this particular device. With a bit of insite perhaps it could at least be solved or figured out.
Next fact I am with is I am not an expert in Linux and with moderate experience when it comes to changing scripts and so on, if something like that is required say in editing /etc/bluetooth/nf or the like. So blueman is able to see the device, Bluetoothctl is able to recognize the device it connects with it momentarily then states that 'authenticationFailed' perhaps that is a clue(?). The UE BOOM 2 speaker still works with an iPhone and I was able to succesfully connect to some bluetooth headphones today without any issue (to my Ubuntu setup). I had reinstalled Manjaro and was unsuccessful in getting it to work again, so I came back to Ubuntu as I thought I might have a chance to get better support here. Secondly I have had the same device working on Ubuntu Studio (a while ago) and more recently Manjaro. Through blueman it says failed to connect and through bluetoothctl it says: Deleting the device then refinding it and adding it. Firstly I have gone through alot of the obvious actions that one might take to get bluetooth working - installing blueman, using bluetoothctl, attempting to pair, trust, connect to the device. That being to sync a UE BOOM 2 bluetooth speaker to my Alienware Laptop running Ubuntu. I have been stumped by this for the last couple of months by now.
