If You Have Trouble to Connect Indy Evo to the Skullcandy App
I used the same pairing method as for streaming audio or handling calls with my Skullcandy product while using the Skullcandy App. To get the Skullcandy App for Android and iPhone.
- Go to the Bluetooth list of the mobile device and choose the name of Indy Evo.
- See if your product’s name is followed by “-LE,” as this means Tile functionality. This connection does not support audio playback or calls via the Skullcandy App.
- If the Bluetooth list of your device displays more than just your Indy Evo’s name, perform a hard reset.
If the Battery Life on the Skullcandy App Does Not Match It On My Indy Evo
I want to share with you that your Skullcandy app can monitor the one primary earbud battery status. I emphasize ‘one earbud’ meaning that the battery levels may not always be as accurate as those on your device.
For Indy Evo earbuds, the app evaluates battery life based on the primary earbud, which may vary depending on how you use it.
Indy Evo earbuds have two features: solo and stereo modes. In solo mode, where you use only one earbud, the battery status of the primary bud will differ from the secondary bud and be inaccurately shown in the Skullcandy app. So, I recommend going back to the stereo mode when you utilize one bud and the other bud simultaneously.
