The Oontz Angle 3 Bluetooth speaker is a lightweight, highly durable speaker that is capable of withstanding incredibly rugged conditions. The device also delivers respectable quality audio, and can pump a respectable 10W. However, the device isn't without its issues, and common problems include the device not turning on, pairing challenges, audio quality issues, and more. Use the following troubleshooting techniques to try and tackle your problems with the speaker on your own before seeking professional help.
Even if you connect the Oontz Angle 3 to a power source, if the battery is completely drained the device won't turn on until it achieves a roughly 10% charge.
If you're connected to a USB outlet, try connecting to AC power through an adapter. A high-power USB port on a computer or other device will charge the Bluetooth speaker, but more often than not those types of ports are low-power ports, and those will not charge your speaker.
If you thought you charged the device previously, try connecting the speaker to a different power supply and validate that the charging light located directly above the Power button is red.
Check battery power associated with the Oontz Angle 3 speaker. If the LED light located directly above the Power button is flashing red, then the speaker is low on power and needs to be charged before you can pair it with other devices.
Check that the device you're attempting to pair the Bluetooth speaker with. If those devices have a low charge, they may not be able to pair with your Oontz speaker.
The devices may be too far apart. Ensure that the devices have a clear line of sight to each other, and that they are no greater than roughly 20 feet from each other. Ideally, the closer you can move the devices together, the better.
Validate that Bluetooth is enabled on the device you're attempting to pair the Oontz Angle speaker with.
Restart both the Bluetooth speaker and the device you're attempting to pair it with after moving the devices closer in proximity to each other. If the devices were too far apart from each other initially, they may not even be on each other's radar.
The devices may have been moved outside of range of each other. Try disconnecting and re-pairing the Oontz Angle 3 speaker and the device it was paired with to see if this resolves the issue.
Un-pair the devices, and then re-pair them.
Disable the Bluetooth on other nearby devices. The device you think your speaker is paired with may actually be paired with another nearby Bluetooth device. Disabling these nearby devices can prevent any confusion.
If you're connecting your Oontz speaker to another device via a 3.5mm audio cable, ensure that it's firmly connected to both devices.
Make sure that the audio is turned up on both the source device and the Bluetooth speaker. Additionally, ensure that neither device is muted.
There can be a number of environmental factors that can affect the quality of the audio output through your Bluetooth speaker. For example, nearby baby monitors, power tools, and other electronic devices can all interfere with the transfer of data via Bluetooth. Try moving your Oontz Angle 3 speaker away from other electronic devices to see if this resolves the issue.
If either the Bluetooth speaker or the source audio device is connected to power while you're playing audio, this can result in poor audio. Try disconnecting the charging cable to see if that resolves the issue.
For issues that you can't resolve through any other means, try restoring your Bluetooth speaker to its default factory settings. There is no harm in doing this, and because your Oontz speaker isn't storing any data that you transferred to it, nothing is lost. You can restore the device by inserting a thin, straight, blunt object into the AUX IN input that is located directly below the Power button. A toothpick or a paper clip are great instruments to use for this. Use those objects to push in on the button located at the bottom of that port. Hold the button down for a few seconds, and then remove the object. You have now successfully reset the speaker.

I found a few interesting quotes regarding the financial crisis. Let's take a look at what people (that is, Democrats) are saying Now, versus what they were saying Then.
The fundamental issue is we have got to put an end to this situation in which there is no sensible regulation, and irresponsible individuals in the private market, or unwise individuals in the private market can incur the kind of risks that put us in a threatening situation.
These two entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not facing any kind of financial crisis. The more people exaggerate these problems…the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.
The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.
That is, Bush was pushing for oversight in the increasingly risky portfolio (i.e. mortgages to people who couldn't afford them). The legislation, introduced by Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) was blocked by the Democrats in Congress. Barney Frank at the time was the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee.
The legislation from the Senate Banking Committee passed today on a party-line vote by the Republican majority, includes measures that could cripple the ability of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to carry out their mission of expanding home ownership. While I favor approving oversight by our federal housing regulators, to ensure safety and soundness, we cannot pass legislation that could limit Americans from owning homes and potentially harm our economy in the process.
That same bill reappeared as S-190, the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, sponsored by Sen. Charles Hagel [R-NE], and co-sponsored by Senators Elizabeth Dole [R-NC], John Sununu [R-NH], and (wait for it…) John McCain [R-AZ].
8 years of de-regulatory zeal by the Bush Administration, an attitude of "The market can do no wrong" have led us down the short path to economic recession. From the unregulated mortgage brokers, to the opaque credit default swaps market, to aggressive Short Sellers who were driving down the price of even healthy financial institutions based on innuendo, this Administration has failed to take the steps necessary to protect both Main Street and Wall Street.
With the benefit of hindsight, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which imposed a new regulatory framework on all public companies doing business in the U.S., also needs to be re-examined. Since its passage, auditing expenses for companies doing business in the U.S. have grown far beyond anything Congress had anticipated. Of course, we must not in any way diminish our ability to detect corporate fraud and protect investors. But there appears to be a worrisome trend of corporate leaders focusing inordinate time on compliance minutiae rather than innovative strategies for growth, for fear of facing personal financial penalties from overzealous regulators.
In their infinite wisdom, they were arguing to reduce the regulations passed after the fall of Enron.
They're liars. All of them.
But remember: it's all Bush's fault.


Talk to any business person who has done business with China and one word is certain to crop up and divide opinion every time 'guanxi'. We don't have a direct translation in English but in its broadest context it means 'developing personal connections'. The power of guanxi is underestimated by so many businesses I speak with. In the UK we are lucky; we have a solid legal structure and business conventions that near enough everyone sticks to. This means we can parachute into a meeting, flick over our business card and start talking numbers. In China it is not so easy. Business is built around personal relationship. People would rather trade with their friends because they know what to expect. They are cautious about making business deals with new comers because the conventions we are privileged to enjoy in the UK, that of the hand shake and signing of deals, doesn't carry much weight. In China, the best business is done between friends.
To make things happen in China, you have to know people. "Knowing" is what the Chinese mean by "guan xi" or "connections." When you cultivate "guan xi" with Chinese people, they will often do anything to please you including important introductions to people they know. However, if you start trying to do business before people get to know you and feel comfortable with you, it is unlikely you will be successful.
2. Make friends first, do business later.
The Chinese enjoy small talk and pleasantries. The importance of hosting and budgeting for dinners and lunches where a relationship can be developed should not be underestimated. They want to learn more about you and start to build a long term relationship before conducting business. This is why it takes longer to get things done there. Therefore, initial meetings rarely produce direct results.
3. Introduce your team to the Chinese personally.
The Chinese people are conditioned by centuries of history to obey their political leaders the way they obey their parents. If you're the only person who travels to China but you need your wider team to help out with operations, introduce them formally to your Chinese contact, especially in person. It is this that forms the basis of trust.
4. "Yes" does not literally mean affirmative.
Chinese people have a habit of saying "yes" to show that they're paying attention or that they're following what you say. In this context, the word "yes" doesn't mean that they agree with what you say or with your terms.
Decision makers will tend to be of the older generation and rarely speak English. It is key for any meeting you use an interpreter who is both good and you feel comfortable with. Therefore spend time selecting and getting to know an interpreter.
