Bose Soundlink Mini iOS 11

If you still can't pair or connect your Bluetooth accessory

1. If you can pair your accessory with some devices but not your iOS device, unpair the accessory from one of the other devices. Then try to pair with your iOS device again.
2. Check with the accessory manufacturer to make sure that your accessory supports your iOS device.
3. If you have any of these issues, contact Apple Support:
• You can’t turn on Bluetooth or the setting is grayed out.
• You can’t connect any Bluetooth accessories with your device.
• The accessory manufacturer confirmed that your accessory is working correctly.

Check with Bose, if they don't have a firmware update then contact Apple per this section

If you can't connect a Bluetooth accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I did this in the following order:

1. Select ”Forget this device” under the blue ”i” circle button in the Bluetooth My Devices section.

2. Clear the memory of the speaker (hold down bluetooth button appx 10 seconds until it beeps).

3. Power off the speaker, turn it back on.

4. Push the Bluetooth button on the speaker and connect to the phone as if it were a brand new device.

I hope this this works for you as well.

I’m having the same issue, despite hours of troubleshooting and restoring. Apple technician claims that the diagnostic report showed no issues. I’m also having connectivity issues, with bluetooth light bulbs, which worked, flawlessly, before the update.

I too have the same issue.

I've reset the speaker (keep power presssed for 10 secs for factory reset).

I've also rebooted my iPhone and iPad which are both suffering from this issue.

I can pair up the devices without issues, but no music plays through the Soudlink Mini.

This worked without issues in the iOS 10 release, but not in iOS 11.

I was having the same issue. I tried the things you mentioned, but was only successful when I did them in this exact order:

1. Select ”Forget this device” under the blue ”i” circle button in the Bluetooth My Devices section.

2. Clear the memory of the speaker (hold down bluetooth button appx 10 seconds until it beeps).

3. Power off the speaker, turn it back on.

4. Push the Bluetooth button on the speaker and connect to the phone as if it were a brand new device.

Hope it works for you as well.

I had this issue as well and tried all of the things you did to no avail. After finding out you can't update the firmware of the older Bose Soundlink (only the model 2 has firmware updates) I noticed someone suggested a hard reset of the Soundlink as a possible solution. This is accomplished by pressing the mute button for 15 seconds, you'll see half the lights on the device flash white when this occurs. After I did this, the Soundlink was discoverable again by my iPhone 7 running iOS 11.2. Good luck!

I have two iPhones both can connect mini soundlink:

iPhone 6 with iOS 10

iPhone 6s with iOS 11.

However, my iPhone 6 works perfectly with mini soundlink but my iPhone 6s cannot control the volume through my volume button on the device.

Do anyone know what is going on here?

Works for me, thanks!

Works for me! Thanks

Huge help! Never knew about the reset on the Bose.

I tried this and it worked. Thanks
