80.10.06 (Android)

Finally got the Android update today (USA), and Favorites actually show up for the first time since May! No album art for local libraries, obviously.

Why can’t this detail be shared before the launch with more details of when users in different locations are likely to receive it?

I have said multiple times @Corry P that your management need to provide more details and communicate better if you want to win back trust. It really shouldn’t be that hard to do.

I Just get the update 

Hi @Gaham 

I have forwarded that feedback, and this - it’s all I can do.

Having had App V80.10.06 of 20241007 installed for some time, I finally managed to get Firmware 81.1 - 58074 installed on my S2 units and it has indeed sorted out the compilations issue in my local library. 

A big thank you to the developer team at Sonos! 👍

While you're on a roll, how about working out how to populate all those empty placeholders for album art? That would make us library using Android people very happy. 

Just for info for anybody interested, I am now running an S1 and an S2 system simultaneously on the same handhelds (all Android) from a single router (Mikrotik) with both 2.4 and 5 ghz WiFi which the controllers hop between with no issues. 6 of my 7 speakers are on Ethernet and all have static IP addresses.  

I'm starting to relax a bit......

@Corry P

And why are there never release notes from the speaker firmware updates.

Hi @wimvandijk 

All software release notes are available on our Release notes for Software Updates help page.

I hope this helps.

Thanks @Corry P I do appreciate your efforts on this.

No, because these are the app updates, I mean the firmware update of the speakers themselves. They do not run synchronously with the app updates so there must be more in it. What you indicate here is that for this functionality you need at least the latest firmware

80.10.06 has just appeared on my play store and i have updated successfully. To be honest i can’t see any differences. I’ve got the latest firmware and was hoping that the  

• Music library indexing and reliability improvements

would bring back the alpha indexing on my local library when searching, as it always used to before the new app. It’s also about time we Android users had our album cover art back as well as it has always been a fundamental part of my sonos experience over my many years sonos use.

I will admit that my experience with new app has been pretty painless compared to some users, no problems with finding system, speakers or local library and definitely no problems with volume control.

just want ability to search my local library by Alphabetic Indexing and Album art (as on old version).

I was also hoping that we long suffering sonos diehards may have been offered some sort of discount incentive towards potential purchase of new Arc Ultra as recompense for all our suffering since may?

Maybe in the form of a special discount code?
