When I first got this Chromebook it was fine connecting to the bluetooth speaker. The older it gets the worse it seems to be getting. I just powerwashed it again too. It just got too old for any more updates. It takes multiple tries to connect to the speaker. This happens with 2 different speakers. Often within .5 seconds of connecting it disconnects. Then when it finally really does connect it often disconnects within 5-20 minutes for no reason I can see. I have unpaired, turned off bluetooth, rebooted, turned bluetooth on and re-paired to no avail. I just got some bluetooth ear buds and the Chromebook won't even pair. The Android phone has no problems connecting to either the ear buds or the speakers. I'm open to any and all suggestions!
wow. No ideas? Well, anyway, the strangest thing has happened! The speaker now connects perfectly. I don't know what changed or how long this is going to last...
Okay, I figured out if I unpair the speaker from the Android the Chromebook will connect to the speaker & (so far) stay connected. Weird, because the Android will connect to the speaker without having to unpair it from the Chromebook. (Just to be clear, I am not trying to connect both to the speaker simultaneously.) I don't know if this is a quirk of this machine but I can find no mention of this problem on the Internet.
