Since upgrading to 9.2 the Sonos app doesn't stay running in the background anymore. Up to 9.2 it has always been there in the notification bar and on the lockscreen, now I have to manually start the app every time I need to do anything with it. It's also a pain in the ass every morning when I want to shut the alarm off. Very frustrating. Anyone knows what has happened?

There's a known issue related to the widget. As far as I know a fix is already in the works.

Hmmm... I'm not talking about the widget (never used it), but maybe this fix you're referring to is relevant to my problem as well?

Hope so, my app keeps failing to respond getting me the Android wait/kill box.

Same here. And when I open it again my whole playlist, and where it was playing, is reset and the speakers are out of their group again. Very annoying!

Just for the record: I have now tried downgrading my Sonos app to 9.1 and have still got the same problem. So the problem is NOT within the app itself but it has to bee something else in the Sonos system. Infuriously irritating.

Another thing, after a while, when controlling the volume from my home screen and pulling down all volume controls, I have multiple sonos volume bars. At this moment there are 7 volume bars from sonos... 😕

Hi folks,

There should be a new update available for the Android controller app which may help with these issues. Please update and let me know how it goes.
