Recent 15.1 update - Sonos Boost 'Updating' (looks like an app glitch)

Hi

Did the update last night and ever since, my Boost sporadically shows as ‘updating’ on the app, with a blue dot next to it. It does sometimes show as normal but then reverts to this ‘updating’ status. It isn’t updating though and everything seems to be working fine. 

So looks like just a glitch and I have noticed folks on Reddit also commented the same.

Anyone else got this little issue?

Hi Everyone!

The current issue with Boosts reporting that they are still updating long after they have finished doing so appears to be due to the Boost failing to report its current status back to the Sonos App.

To be clear, the Boosts have successfully updated, but have failed to report their status back to the controller and therefore the in app “updating” message is erroneous and can be ignored.

If you log out of the app, the Boost should no longer erroneously show as updating in app. You can control playback of your Sonos system without logging into the app, so if the message is bothering you you can sign out of the app, but note that while logged-out, you will be unable to configure the system. If any speakers/players show as updating, we recommend rebooting these devices.

If you require any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our technical support team.

We would like to sincerely thank you all here on this thread for your assistance in our investigations.

If you’ve just come across this thread, we no longer need further diagnostics or reports. Thank you

We will of course aim to resolve this in a future update.

Does not seem to affect the sound etc but still a bit irritating isn’t it.

Yes - Sonos should comment. My worry is that there is no Boost update anymore, but not sure …

Yeah that is how mine is behaving. Comes and goes mind you, so sometimes I open the App and it’s all ok, but then another time it is back to doing that again.

Hi Everyone,

Could you please try signing out of the Sonos app, then signing back in again?

Please let me know if this improves the situation any, or not. 

Thanks.

Looks to be the same after doing that but just re-starting my phone to check that also now

Yeah no change but like I say, this comes and goes so the blue dot thingy can be there one minute and gone the next which is odd. The Boost itself however shows the normal white light and speakers show as WM: 0 as they should

What do you mean by ‘force close the app’?

Hi @SarahN 

On Android, that would involve pressing the Task Switcher button (next to Home), then swiping the app up and off the screen.

I’ve never had an iPhone (and it’s been a while since I used one), but I believe the swiping up part is the same, after double-pressing the Home button (maybe a long press rather than a double press).

If in doubt, a reboot of the smartphone would more than suffice.

Thanks!

I am having the same issue but worse as it happens consistently. The blue dot and the words Updating appears randomly on different speakers on the device I used to run the update.

When this happens I cannot connect to any of the speakers or play anything.

I have tried signing out, force closing the app and even removing and reinstalling but the problem persists.

 

@Sonos, why don’t you guys QA your releases properly instead of always frustrating us!

Hi @SarahN Iam afraid those steps did not resolve issues with the Sonos Boost.

Corry. Forgot to mention I’m using and iPhone with iOS 16. Apart from force closing, signing out and in again, reinstalling I also tried rebooting my phone. Nothing has helped.
