Hello everyone. Thanks for posting. If you have already removed the app from your iOS device and re-downloaded the app from the App Store, then the controller is already updated. This tells us that the problem seems to be getting the update to the speakers. Do any of you have a speaker plugged into the router with an Ethernet cable? This will establish a solid connection that Sonos can use to download the update and send along to the other players.

If you are still having troubles, please try to submit a diagnostic report and reply here with the confirmation number it gives at the end. I'll be happy to take a closer look and point you in the right direction.

Thanks, bergwallskan. It looks like the bridge is encountering a large amount of physical electronic errors. This normally points to the physical surroundings of the Bridge unit itself. Could you describe the area around the Bridge? Typically we want the Bridge to have about 3-6 inches of space from other large electronic devices and appliances.

I am having same problem on all my Android devices. Cannot use my Sonos system at all because it keeps asking me to update the controller and then links me to Google store. 465136080
