9.0 Version App Keeps Freezing

dt2,

Is it a particular model of iPhone, or iPad, perhaps? ...only the app seems to be working fine on my iPhone 6 and the wife's iPad Air v2?

I've only seen a few folk here complain and thought there would be much more complaints about this, if it was a more widespread issue.

Anyhow I hope you find the answer to it soon.

thanks , hope so too , never seen anything like this when using the app until version 9 and my set up hasn't changed in years
so cant believe it is not related to the upgrade, prior to this the app was flawless and never froze / crashed , have you tried it over a period of time , i.e. play a song , click home , browse a web site , come back to sonos , etc , for me it fails pretty quickly each time , ?

I have not noticed it (at all) myself on the iPhone, personally speaking. The wife doesn’t use the Sonos App all that much, to be able to judge it perhaps, but I will try her iPad and see. It doesn’t seem a problem though so far.

I should say that I do turn off lots of stuff on our devices, like location services and notifications, suggestions etc. Also I don’t allow apps to run in the background so maybe I’m not the best person to comment.

I would have thought though that far more users would have commented by now and complained about it freezing... I would have expected dozens of posts from users, rather than just the few we are seeing here so far. In your case the App sounds almost unusable, whereas I’m using it lots, everyday.

That’s why I was wondering if this was down to a particular model of iPhone? I can get access to both an iPhone 5, 7 and 8 in the coming days, when our children pop in to see us and could test those, if any are applicable in this case... the kids phones usually have lots of stuff left running in the background on their devices, so I’m happy to try those and see.

thanks , it would be interesting to see if you can see the issue also , i've never really posted on here before , so i'm wondering if others are experiencing the issue but because a simple close and re open sorts the issue people are just putting up with it , and maybe blaming in on their phone ??

Whilst the app on my iPad isn’t freezing, it has been temperamental for the last couple of months. Tonight I went to my ipad and as the Sonos app was still full screen from the last time I used it about 30 minutes ago (Playback was stopped 30 minutes previous by me) I pressed play and the radio station started to play OK.

But then I pressed stop on the app and it didn’t stop the radio station from playing. The stop/play button kept changing as if it was accepting my commands but nothing was happening, the radio station carried on playing. It was definitely set on the right room. I closed and opened the app and then the buttons started working properly again.

On previous occasions recently it has mysteriously changed rooms to another one and the button presses were being carried out for the wrong zone. This time though, the correct zone was selected.

Until a couple of months ago I’ve not had any problems at all with the iPad app (apart from it being worse to use that previous versions 😉 ) but since then it occasionally gets itself in a mess and is unreliable until the app is stopped and started again.

I think all these problems are coinciding with the introduction of the Alexa stuff, it seems less stable that before.

I've just contacted sonos with the message bellow as i am beyond disappointment with 9.0.
Hi since 9.0 my sonos system as been horrible to use. The app constantly freezes and keeps skipping songs I've checked every thing the wifi is on channel 6 the sonos net is on channel 11 i have even given them static ip addresses. How can I go back to the last update as i wish i had never don't the update? I have no use for airplay with sonos I would rather have the hardware control. You need to have an option to select between hard where control and airplay.
I have submitted a diagnosis 1724113456.

I feel sonos have penalised people that have brought into the system just to give airplay connectivity to someone that just has one standalone speaker.

I have 13 sonos speakers and no issues of Sonos App freezing, but I am interested to know what model of iOS devices are in use by the folk who are experiencing this problem and how much free space is remaining on that device? .. just trying to see if there is any pattern to this issue?

Also if the iOS device has the Apple 'WiFi Assist' feature enabled or disabled?

I am using an iPad Air2 and have over 80GB free. I have no idea what Apple WiFi Assist is so assume that’s something particular to the iPhone?
My iOS is up to date

Does this mean v11.4.1 or iOS 12.3 Beta?

I’m on 11.4.1 and there’s no cellular in my iPad so it just uses my WiFi. My Sonos App doesn’t freeze but it is sometimes buggy in operation as I described above. It usually happens if I let the iPad screen go into standby and then wake it up with the sonos app still showing full screen.
