Last software update has completely solved this issue for me. Remote power is back and working as intended, so just update to the latest version and you’re good to go. The only downside is that alarms don’t work anymore.
I have the same issue. Have a new device to replace my previous one, and the old one had no problem, even if it was at the bottom of the list. New one does not remotely power on at all. Removing all connections except the boom was not a solution. Update: Ultimate Ears customer service is not responding anymore after repeated emails. I'm opening up a new case, since this is an important feature for me. Update oct 2017: UE Service is not responding to emails anymore. I think they gave up : ( My current suspicion is that there is a bug in the app, so that it does not show you the power button. I'm putting this feedback in an App Store review and hope new app update will fix this. Update 30/11/2017: UE just launched a new version of the app, and a new firmware version. After updating both, it STILL DOES NOT WORK. Customer Support contacted me again last week, but did not answer to my reply. They have no clue and I'm quite upset right now.
