Battery drain on Android app 9.0.1

My woes exactly as the above continue. I'm on Android 7.0..
I also have a ticket raised and long unfruitful session with support on another phone a mine was dying haha!

I am currently using the Macronous for Sonos third party app, cost a few quid. It works with hardly any battery use but can't see my saved podcasts so I have to load them as favourites, listen and then remove..

Anybody tried any of these older versions?

Will give some of the 8's a go and see. Will probably lose some functionality but the as long as I can control playing in various rooms and do the things Alexa can't - start certain Pod casts and Swedish Radio cos' the skills aren't there, I'd be happy for now.

I installed 8.6 app from the link above.
Even after 1hr I can't see Sonos in my battery usage list!
Screen is at 5%! Sonos less than 1% a no show.
Batt life is not an issue.
I know this version will be fine on my phone all day.
As a seasoned SW / test engineer and manager in telecoms infrastructure
I know this is not rocket science haha. The 9.0.1 app could never have been tested properly on different Android versions / common phones.
Must be so simple to trace this back and see where the code went wrong in 9.0.X.

Sonos tech support should testing older versions and advising customers to try the suitable older version!

There i've given you a good temp fix!

2 hours in. No Sonos 8.6 App battery use showing on my Android 7.0 Moto G5. I've left the app running in the background the whole time.
Screen now at 7%!

Just posting to say "me too". Had to uninstall v9 as my phone wasn't making it thru the day. Have now installed v8.6 and all is well again. If only there was an option to turn off updates completely.........:?

That's good Gybe.
I've been running 8.6 all day. It doesn't feature on the battery usage list, so it's less than 1%.
Complete contrast to 9.0.1!
Go figure..

Yes the update reminders are annoying but only happened to me when I first opened the app, so not that often.

Will look into how to turn them off.

I'm on a Sony Z5 - same symptoms 😞

What Android version of that running?

The only functionality loss I've noticed so far from 9.0.1 to 8.6 is that you can't adjust the speaker EQ, bass, treble, Loudness from the phone app.
There may be others though.

I'm on my second day of v8 6. Batt drain totally resolved for me on Android 7.0.

Well I'll be ....
Sometime late on today my Sonos up re-updated itself to 9.0.1!
I noticed Sonos using 14% of batt Vs 12% screen. Uninstall quick!!

How to stop Android auto updates..

Android
By default, Android apps downloaded from the Google Play Store are automatically updated.

To turn updates on or off, follow these steps:

Open Google Play.
Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) on the top-left.
Tap Settings.
Tap Auto-update apps.
To disable automatic app updates, select Do not auto-update apps.
google play auto update

I decided to trial a Beam. Nice sound for TV / film watching.
Had to update the App to 9.0.1 to install and setup. Yikes, battery drain on phone is huge! Uninstall and back to 8.6 asap!

Any news on a fix Sonos?
