Is when the old device is still paired or the owner forgot to tell the speaker to get into pairing mode.
Try the old turn the bluetooth off and on on the phone too.
I just recently bought a Cuatro Bluetooth speaker. I was easily able to pair it with my iPad, but can't seem to with my iPhone 6. Any suggestions?
