iHome iH6: The set/time wheel doesn’t work. I’m not able to adjust the time.

Mon, 30 Dec 2024 22:04:53 -0700

Admittedly, my iH6 was very dusty, but even after blowing out the dust, I’m unable to adjust the time. I spin the dial and nothing happens.

Speakers work great, volume wheel works much better after the dusting, but…

I tried taking the back off to try and clean the dust from under the wheel, but the speaker was in the way. Is there a workaround?

iHome iBT232: Bluetooth doesn't stay connected

Tue, 12 May 2020 00:01:22 -0700

If I’m listening to audio over this device it works fine. The problem is that I want to keep my phone in another room when I go to bed. I bought this for the purpose of taking calls if they come in while avoiding the temptation to play around with my phone. If I connect the device and leave it alone eventually it disconnects by itself. Is there some way to prevent this?

iHome iBT84: Button to control light is jammed

Sat, 07 Apr 2018 08:08:48 -0700

my speaker was working fine, except when I tried to turn the light off, I couldn't change its setting. I decided to remove the rubber cover over the buttons, and the small black piece that is used to push the buttons was out of place. I'm able to bypass this piece and the rubber cover and change the color manually. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to fix my new and improved issue.
