Alright, July 22 app update just dropped.

I took the risk of updating so you don’t have to 🙃🤣 So far so good, it opened on first try. Will update.

Is it working for you?

Samsung Android users are you back to a working app?

iOS release notes

Added setup, configuration, and search for local Music Library
Improved account settings for Sonos Pro subscribers
Added line-in autoplay and compression settings
Improved accessibility in Settings
Improved notification for player firmware updates
Improved Sub audio settings with Amp

ETA THE GOOD :

local library search is working
Configuration and set up for local libraries is there but I’m not testing it as it’s working for me and I don’t want to tempt fate
Line in auto play seems to be working.
Sub audio has phase control and crossover frequency. I haven’t tested if they actually do anything but hopefully working as expected.

***Loading way quicker on my network, ~2.5 seconds after a force close for Recently played, sonos favourites etc to populate. (10 sonos devices).

Last used room controls at the bottom are available right away, ie can stop whats playing in a hurry if required. I think this is a good change.

Release notes not updated yet but will be posted here whenever they get around to it.

Anyone notice excessive background battery drain?

I didn’t really notice faster drain as I charged through the day but Sonos used 36% in the background most of any app by far.

Similar to feedback here

Didn’t notice but Sonos is at 30% of my battery usage, second only to Safari on 35% - but I actually specifically use Safari, whereas once I have selected a track I don’t ‘use’ Sonos, and nor should Sonos use itself as it is only the controller (the speakers call the next tracks from the streaming service)...

Yeah for me I had 18 min on screen with Sonos app. 36% is a lot of background usage.

8 minutes of Sonos screen time had led to 30% battery usage.

It has over 10x more background usage than Safari (at 20h44 vs 1h59), and more than 20x battery usage than any other app!

They give with one hand and use up your battery with the other...

Could be a tax for faster startup as they may be polling the system so they can track the status so the App is ready when it gets opened.

It does feel like there is still a long way to go with this new App.

I agree. I am experiencing the same battery drain. This is simply incompetent programming and poor testing. This app is really unusable.

Improved notification for player firmware updates

Is this improved notification going to be more prominently displayed or transparent in ‘System Updates’? Feel like on the latest firmware updates - I don’t even know they are happening with Update Automatically toggled off.

Does anyone know if my current queue/playlist of songs will be erased if I update the app to the latest version (80.05.04)?

None of my playlists/queues disappeared when updating the app. Primarily it’s because these queues are in the speakers themselves, not the app (which is just the controller) so you shouldn’t see any change in your queues across the speakers.

Anyone notice excessive background battery drain?

YES. I noticed an overnight battery drain on IOS. Every hour indicates 100% Sonos: Audio, Background Activity.

Wow, nothing like that on Android! But then there's not much going on on my android anyway... 🤔

Hi @Bumper and @Stingray78, many users are reporting significant battery drain with this week’s v80.05.xx app … on both Android and iOS. Likely does not impact all users. Much more obvious on phones, less so on tablets which have huge batteries.

I’ve learned that Android has a step on iOS wrt “ill behaved” apps: if enabled, the Battery Optimizer feature takes action after recognizing an app sucking down power.

Not yet sure what is behind the super-high power use, tho’ my money is on frequent manual polling of the device firmware in an effort to improve responsiveness. Perhaps @controlav can better opine?

The A-Z shortcuts still seem to be missing from the song list ….lots of scrolling needed and also my song list is vastly truncated….only the first few screenfulls alphabetically are displayed. The search seems to find all songs but the list doesn’t display the full list…very truncated.

The A-Z shortcuts are yet to be implemented. I’ve not seen mention of those as coming, but it would be a fair bet they are, as tens of thousands of songs can’t be scrolled down...
