Hi there,

 

I am so fed up with your buggy systems I can't even describe the level of frustration. I am using the latest version of the app on Android as of now and for no apparent reason the app does not recognize the set up system anymore (my wife's phone and app does and works no problem). I tried to reconnect to the system but says it doesn't find any devices on the network (which obviously isn't true - see screenshot)

 

I am sitting next to a Sonos One and following instructions on how to reconnect pressing button on the back - but no doesn't find the system sitting right next to it.

 

I don't want to go through the process of reinstalling the app and setting up the whole system again for the x time - it costs half an hour each time and at the price of your products we should be able to expect that you can employee at least one software engineer and one app developer that can create a better experience than a 10 year old hobby programmer with the attention span of a humming bird could.

 

Rant = off

 

Do you have any solutions to offer that are not requiring me to reset the system completely?

If your Sonos app still won’t connect after following the steps in the article, please contact Sonos Customer Care for further help.

 

 

Oddly enough Sonos has quietly fixed this issue….I basically could t use my speakers for like a whole year. I'm going to send an invoice for the time I've wasted with tech support 


Hi,

I was having the same issue with my wife’s iPhone (my phone works fine). Not sure why this setting on her phone changed - but what resolved the issue was going to setting>privacy>Local Network - and flipping the Sonos to “allow” or “on”. 
 

No issues logging on or with the app connecting after this (so far today). 

This was the issue on my wife’s phone. Even re-installing the app and granting access to the local network in the app did not change the setting in her iPhone. I had to manually grant Sonos access as above and then all issues were resolved.
