S1 App frustrations

hi @Osullivan, thank you for reaching out and welcome to the community.

I understand the frustration you’re having and I’m willing to assist you on troubleshooting.

I would like to take a look at the diagnostic you sent, can you please post the confirmation number.

I would like to know the model of your router as well; to make sure we don’t have any known issue with it.

If you have other concerns, feel free to reach out.

Hi Kyle,

Thank you, but our router is very new up to date. Why should your update make our system obsolete?

It is ridiculous!!!

I will send through diagnostics tomorrow when I can afford to spend another 30 minutes of my time trying to fix a problem your system created.

Here is the most recent diagnostic. I have tried again a number of times either by connection or find my product to each of the playbar, Sonos 1 and the Sonos 3.

286126044.

Any assistance appreciated, but still a very unhappy product user after being a loud and proud supporter.

Our router is 18months old and I amunprepared to change this as it is top of the range and suits my families needs. It is not the problem, your app and renewal has resulted in these changes.

Hi @Osullivan, thank you for the update.

The diagnostic is showing that the Sonos Bridge, Playbar with the 2 Play:1 and the Play:3 are separated on 3 different Household ID.

This is an issue for the Sonos app; it will have trouble connecting all speakers for a group playback and control them since the app can only connect to one household at a time.

On group 1: Sonos Bridge, group 2: Playbar, and the 2 Play:1s and group 3:  Play:3.

To correct this; we would need to Factory Reset 2 of the groups to join them all in 1 group.

To Reset the Sonos Products you can follow this guide. Reset your Sonos product

Then add product or add boost or bridge. Here’s the guide for this step. Add a new Sonos product to an existing system.

Tell us how it goes with the given suggestion.

I have been a happy Sonos user and advocate for many years. But with the launch of S2 my perfectly running system setup of play 5’s and sound bars are rendered completely useless. No I didn’t want to trade up my systems as I spent $3k on a sound system that worked smooth as silk before.
 

And now, since months; Infinite loops from S1 to S2 Apps, no possibility to access ‘legacy’ units. Playlist unable to play. It’s costing me WAY too much time, and generating quite some frustration. and I have several speakers which are idle now for months. 
Gone is the simplicity and quality that I and many other users are used to. Really really disappointed in Sonos: from hero to zero! Take the feedback seriously and fix the dodgy apps to assist your customers.

Hi @kdrvh, thank you for reaching out and welcome to the community.

We do take the feedback seriously and our Sonos Engineers are looking into the firmware.

I would be happy to assist you as much as I can if you allow me to.

If you could get a diagnostic, post the confirmation and we’re going to take a look at it.

If you have other concerns, feel free to reach out.

I have similar issue. Sometime since summer (june-july) my system started acting erratically. When in september 2020 I received prompt to choose s1 or s2 app I selected s1. Since then situation has deteriorated. Following 3 network restarts and sonos new system setups over past weekend system typically works for a day and then becomes unresponsive to app. I have 1st gen sonos boost. App restarts, speaker unplug/reply these are things I can not continue to do on a daily basis. If I can not combine s1 and s2 compatible hardware I want to know rather than stay in this frustration. I have submitted system diagnostics today. Tx in advance for return to situation where it just works or I ll just get the much cheaper amazon Alexa speakers everywhere.

Hi @sven1910, welcome to the Sonos Community, and thank you for letting us know about your concern. I really appreciate the time and effort you've spent doing all the troubleshooting steps that you have done. Let me help you and figure out what's happening.

First I'd like to isolate the issue so we can create a path towards resolution.

1. Are you getting an error message when you connect to your Sonos system?
2. Any changes in the network recently?
3. Have you tried to remove your Sonos Bridge from the router and temporarily wired one of your speakers?

Please submit a diagnostic report and post here the confirmation number for us to see how your system is functioning, and help provide a resolution. Also, if you can provide us your full network setup including the make and model for each device, that would be great.

We'll wait for your reply.

Hello, I have the same issue, and as well am very disappointed with Sonos, I used to brag about my Sonos and made lots of my friend a fan, but not any longer, ever since S1 and S2 Started, my system is not working properly and I have spent countless hours trying to fix it with no luck.
