Recent 15.1 update - Sonos Boost 'Updating' (looks like an app glitch)

Hi

Did the update last night and ever since, my Boost sporadically shows as ‘updating’ on the app, with a blue dot next to it. It does sometimes show as normal but then reverts to this ‘updating’ status. It isn’t updating though and everything seems to be working fine. 

So looks like just a glitch and I have noticed folks on Reddit also commented the same.

Anyone else got this little issue?

Hi Everyone!

The current issue with Boosts reporting that they are still updating long after they have finished doing so appears to be due to the Boost failing to report its current status back to the Sonos App.

To be clear, the Boosts have successfully updated, but have failed to report their status back to the controller and therefore the in app “updating” message is erroneous and can be ignored.

If you log out of the app, the Boost should no longer erroneously show as updating in app. You can control playback of your Sonos system without logging into the app, so if the message is bothering you you can sign out of the app, but note that while logged-out, you will be unable to configure the system. If any speakers/players show as updating, we recommend rebooting these devices.

If you require any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our technical support team.

We would like to sincerely thank you all here on this thread for your assistance in our investigations.

If you’ve just come across this thread, we no longer need further diagnostics or reports. Thank you

We will of course aim to resolve this in a future update.

Are you an Android user? Where are you located? Here in the US, there has not been a 15.1.1 for either iOS or for the Mac.

I'm in UK and on android. Just got a mini sub today and noticed the update. Update 15.1.1 allows me to Trutune on my 4 year old mobile, so not all bad!

What do you mean by Trutune @B33Jay ?

Really? Where is it?  I would expect the addition of True play on Android to be a much ‘bigger’ thing..

I understand the Trueplay feature only appears in the Android controller after the Trueplay tuning has been done with an iOS controller device. I presume that’s to allow the user to toggle it off/on again - so that’s perhaps what @Beejay is referring to🤔?

That must be it then. I had my ipad to hand and used that to set up mini sub and got an update notice immediately, when I used my android later noticed the Truplay was there, assumed it was the update. Didn't know about the iOS triggering it. Thanks.
