Jam Bluetooth Speaker Connecting Issue

-

Bluetooth speakers provide convenient portable sound, with quality improving nowadays. However, connection issues remain a common headache for users.


I tried pairing my Bluetooth speaker to my Windows 8.1 computer, but could not get it working despite trying suggested fixes. Windows 8.1 had shaky Bluetooth connectivity in my experience, frequently crashing. So I upgraded to Windows 10, hoping its Bluetooth would prove more stable (see my previous post for how to still get the free upgrade).



Windows 10 Bluetooth was more functional, but still struggled to connect with the speaker after detecting it. After some trial and error, here are the steps that finally allowed pairing:

  1. In Device Manager, uninstall the main Bluetooth device and Intel wireless Bluetooth device, removing their drivers.
  2. Restart the computer.
  3. Download updated Intel Wireless Bluetooth drivers:
  4. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005489/wireless/intel-wireless-products.html

After installing, the Bluetooth device reappears in Device Manager.

Try pairing the speaker again (for mine, pressing play initiates detection). The computer should now recognize the speaker and connect.

While not flawless, Windows 10 provided the improved Bluetooth stability needed for a successful pairing. I'm relieved to finally have my wireless speaker functioning smoothly. Hopefully these steps will resolve similar connection issues for other users still clinging to older Windows versions.



Gratitude Diary
Day 28: I am glad the installation went smoothly. I am grateful for all the online forums and many others that post solutions online to help people who may encounter similar situations. I hope this solution worked for you as it did for me.

IWEB trading platform, service review

-
Image
I had a frustrating experience today with my UK trading platform, IWEB. Upon logging in this morning, I was startled to see a message that my account was restricted and to call a provided number. I was perplexed about what could have triggered this. I called customer service, who speculated that an expired debit card on file may be the issue. After updating my details, I was told access would resume shortly. However, I remained unable to access my account the entire day, which was aggravating. While I understand technical problems occur, clearer communication and urgency from IWEB would have been appreciated in resolving this issue faster. IWEB is one of the ISA providers and shares dealing platforms in the UK, part of Lloyds Banking Group. I have been with them for several years. Customer service is usually friendly, and there is a web-chat service which I like. They offer the most competitive 'cost per trade' without a minimum number of trades per month (that I know of), and

    For all the young gamer out there Lately, after completing my professional qualification, I’ve had more time to pursue my hobbies and gaming has been one of my favorites. I find it both stimulating and relaxing to experience different worlds and challenges. I also believe that gaming in moderation has some real-life benefits. For example, it can teach problem-solving skills, teamwork, and creativity. These are all skills that can be applied to other areas of life, such as work and school.
