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.

@SarahN i have this on all Speakers- I donot have boost. So this issue may be impacting more than boost.

also. If I am signed in and I click the red dot (impacted speaker) the Sonos app crashes straight away.

 

Ok - I only have the issue with the Boost saying it’s updating when it’s not, with the blue dot next to it. So it seems a wider issue to do with the accounts then.

I am still logged out 10 mins now with no issues so that seems to suggest it’s our account syncs that’s the issue

Can you have too many Sonos speakers? 🤔 😆

@Corry P - I can confirm @Mjagpal observations above.

A clear issue with app and account sync introduced by version 15.1 

Signed out - all clean 

Signed in - blue dot on Boost (updating)

I never had this issue before and I haven‘t changed anything in my setup. It arrived with v15.1

I think you need to come up with a resolution of the issue in v15.1.1

I have logged this support team as well - case number 04754726. Spent 2 hours on this and troubleshooting the network. Speakers. Resetting everything- only to get to the point that it is a sign in account issue.

Hi @SarahN

@Corry P - shall we just stay logged out for now?

If it makes the app easier to use, yes. Log-in is only needed if changing the configuration of the system - general playback usage does not require it.

My Boost and Play3 have been showing updating the last 90 minutes.  Hope IT is on this as I’m pretty sure this is affecting a lot of users.  Never a problem like this before.

@John76 

Try signing out from you account in the Sonos app, restart the app and do not sign in - still the updating issue? 
If no issue when not signed into the account - you will

find more of us will have this issue across multiple products..

For reference, I am seeing similar issues with the update.  It states that the update didn’t completed successfully.  System screen shows several different rooms as Updating and others as Requiring update.  I don’t have a Boost, and am in the US ( I noticed several others are UK)

This was done before I had to leave for work, so I can’t provide any diagnostic or screenshots.  I’m counting on you all to get it all figured out by the time I get back home.

I updated my Sonos system and noticed a blue dot next to Sonos boost on the S2 app saying Updating! Everything on my system seems to be working fine and reading comments above it is a poor update software from Sonos. I await a correction in the update software to be released?

I tend to agree
