How do I remove disabled items from Sonos Favorites in the new Android app #2

I would have added my comment to an already existing question, but that topic has been closed and the matter has still not been fixed.

As a professional video games programmer I will try to be as objective as I can without it sounding as though I’ve just spent £3500 on a complete pile of rubbish. If SONOS spent half as much effort on fixing the numerous bugs in their software as they do on advertising their products their customers would be much happier.

Sonos support are aware of these bugs and are nearly as exasperated as the customers.

The only solution to this problem is to get a statement from the CEO who should be fully aware of these software bugs (if he/she isn’t the they should be sacked) and what they intend to do about them. Who is on the programming team? Why hasn’t this been addressed? Do they have a producer, and why haven’t they been fired? Your customers need to be reassured and this need to come from the top - Now.

Having every customer hating your guts is not a good look for any company. Having your forum people closing topics because customers are upset does not provide a solution.

 

I’ll try to summarise the issues briefly and clearly.

  1. Broken favourites do not show up onthe desktop app and so can’t be deleted
  2. Broken favourites do show up on the phone app but there is no way of deleting them
  3. A Sonos system cannot be reset through software. Therefore resetting a system involves climbing on ladders, steps and chairs in order to access systems bolted in place
  4. Album artwork has been broken for many years and people are very angry and frustrated 
  5. The people would like to know why there are so many ‘software updates’ and yet none of them address the vital bugs and issues that have existed for many years - why???

From the above photo both test and test two are broken links from what I can see it is impossible to delete them. They do not show up on the PC app and there is no possible way to delete them from either android or iPhone apps. This is my only question. 

 

sonos support have themselves told me I need to reset the system. Another person from Sonos says no, you do not need to reset the system in fact resetting the system hardly ever solves anything, so far there is no solution and from what I understand it is the customers fault.

Hi ​@SciFiSi 

You cannot delete them - you yourself have said this. There is no secret way to do so - just the one you have already tried.

In order for us to figure why this is, could you please tell me what music service your favourites are linking to? Please also let me know which tier you are on with that service. If you don’t give me this information, no progress will be made - I don’t know how else to say this.

And I am sorry, but at no point has anyone said that this is customers’ fault.

Hi ​@SciFiSi 

It is true that a full reset of all your speakers will result in these favourites going away. All your other favourites will also be deleted, however, along with Sonos playlists and all settings/configurations, so I don’t really consider this a “fix”. If you are happy to do this, then by all means please do so, but if you want to try to preserve anything, factory resetting is not the answer.

I hope this helps.
