- FREQUENTLY ERROR AND HOW TO WORK
– Error automatically stopping music when listening to music in wifi mode
The most common error on Fabriq RIFF is when you use a mixture of both wifi and Bluetooth features. When you switch from Bluetooth mode to wifi mode, the speaker will automatically stop the music when playing for about 5-10 seconds. That is an inherent error in the speaker’s software, but the fix is extremely simple.
Method 1: Use only Bluetooth connection. No more problems, the speaker will play music directly from your phone.
Method 2: Restart the speaker if you still want to use it to stream music from Spotify. Remember to turn off the Bluetooth connection on your phone before restarting the speaker to avoid the same error as the original.
Method 3: Factory Reset. You use the software and select in the settings of the speaker the function Factory reset. Any old settings on the speaker will be lost, and you will have to re-establish the wifi connection from scratch. Only use this method when the above two methods do not work if you do not waste time.
– Bluetooth was not found an error.
This error is because the user has previously connected the speaker to another device, and the speaker will automatically reconnect to that device within the connection range. When you want to connect the speaker to your phone or computer, you must find and disconnect the old device from the speaker.
In case it is not found, proceed to Factory Reset as instructed above.
