Question 1

How do you charge it?

Accepted Answer

There is a Micro USB to USB Cable included that is used to charge the speaker. It will need to be plugged into a PC USB port or an old cellphone charger that has a USB port.

Question 2

is this speaker compatible with the galaxy s4 phone?

Accepted Answer

I don't know. I have an iPhone. The Urge was ripped off after my third time using it. A common event with such devices.

Question 3

Does this unit have auxiliary for older stuff as well as the blue tooth? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Yes it has both audio in and audio out through headphone style jack.

I use audio in for plugging in older devices. I use audio out for plugging into my sound system, turning this into a Bluetooth audio receiver.

Question 4

Is there an audible signal that lets you know when the battery needs charging?

Accepted Answer

No. The only indication is from the audio, it gets weak and distorted when the battery needs charging.

The battery lasts quite a long time in my opinion though.

I do a lot of work at remote Cell Tower sites in the small equipment buildings with quite loud AC units and I've used this bluetooth speaker (listening to pandora off my iphone) at a fairly loud volume for over 8 hours a day before on a 2.5 day trip and never needed to charge it.

Question 5

what size is it?

Accepted Answer

The sound brick is about 2.5 tall, about 4" long, and aabiut 2.5" wide.  Small package but is very powerful!  Loud chirp when connects but then GREAT sounds!

Question 6

What are the dimensions? Don't see them listed anywhere.

Accepted Answer

It is about the size of a chalkboard or dry erase board eraser.
Or . . . 6 in. wide (or long) and 2 in. square (top, side, back, bottom).  It has pretty good sound quality, weighs 11 oz., so it has a decent magnet for the bass tones, though not as deep bass as, say, a similar sized Bose speaker.  They boast a 30 ft range for bluetooth function - that's a bit generous.  Up to 20 ft. no problem.

Question 7

Is it compatible with iPad mini and Iphone 4S?
Thanks

Accepted Answer

Yes it is compatible with iPhone 4s and iPad mini. It a pretty AWSOME BT speaker!

Question 8

is it compatible with samsung cell phone  s3? thank you!

Accepted Answer

Anything with bluetooth

Question 9

how do i pair the unit?

Accepted Answer

When you turn it on a blue light should flash. Then you should see UG-SNDBRCK as a bluetooth device. Then you should be able to pair it.

Question 10

How can I get Windows to work with this speaker?  I have tried several laptops and desktops with BT and can't get it to work.  I have no trouble with tablets and phones.  Sometimes I get a prompt to enter a passkey but the speaker doesn't have one.  There is no support from the Urge Basics website.

Accepted Answer

Sorry, have not tried to sync with any PC, only phone. Can your PC sync with any other BT device? If yes, then is an update avail for the BT for your PC. Maybe it's a driver issue. Good Luck.
