Also firmware update.

 

ht @press250 

PSA #1: firmware update is v16.2 build 79153290, remains compatible with Android v16.1 app

PSA #2: Windows desktop app also updated today, works fine

PSA#3: Windows/Mac desktop apps remain on the old codebase, making them a superb diagnostic and debug tool. If you’re experiencing trouble with the new app, see if the problem exists in the Windows/Mac app. This may help isolate things and save you grief and frustration.

    Just got Android 80.02.05.

    Scared me at first because it needed me to accept an agreement and then it searched for the system.

    For me it still needs me to close the app and restart it to find my system each time I use it.

    But they have made more progress that I expected on getting features back so they deserve credit for that.

    I think it also needs a firmware update as there was no queue management that I could see. 

     

    Currently updating the firmware….

    If all those are actually implemented, it delivered more than they promised, and earlier than they promised on some.  Good on Sonos for making good on their screwup.  I’ll give credit (and blame) where due.

      I don’t have queue management either. Fully updated firmware, updated app.

      EDIT: It’s there now. And fair play on the rest, if all of those HAVE actually been implemented. I do have surround distance now, so assuming the rest of the list works.

       

      BUT!!!!! The speaker icon at the right hand end of the speaker slider has been removed!! I used that to increase volume as tapping the icon was more useful than sliding. I can now only slide, because the speaker icon on the left is now mute! Sliding is all very well - but where is the volume number that we’ve been asking for… (Sorry, I know that will be next-ish...)

      Took two passes to activate the queue features - no need for firmware fiddling. 

      Now, where's that holographic music video playback which I keep asking for?

      We know we are really beta testing when they are changing UI components like this on the fly. It’s weird they had the speaker icon on the left since launch and then remove it here. Tapping on the volume slider still works to step volume up and down but 100% agree the little speakers were handy targets for this.

      Righto... The queue management isn't interactive on a playing list.  It only operates when setting up a playlist. Useless for real-time DJ sets! 

      Much inferior to similar features in other systems. 

      Suppose it's better than nuttin'

        Didn’t know I could tap the speaker line to go up and down. Thanks. (But have you tried tapping to lower the volume way down without accidentally tapping mute!) :)
