S2 app upgrade stuck at Terms of Service


I am trying to upgrade to the S2 app and cannot get past the terms of use. I view and scroll all the way down but there is not accept or way to acknowledge I agree with them.

Hi @Donnal Spence. Thank you for reaching out and welcome to the community. Regarding your concern that when you're trying to upgrade to the S2 App and it is not letting you go through the Sonos terms of use page. I'd like to ask if have you tried to do it on another controller or uninstalling and reinstalling the Sonos S2 App to check if that will work.

Let us know how you get on with the advice above.

If there's any other issue you're having, feel free to reach out.

Donnal, I believe you have to click on the link to view the terms, and then you’ll be able to proceed with the upgrade process.    It’s been a couple weeks since I did my upgrade, but I believe that’s how I got passed the screen.

 

Edit:  To clarify a bit. After viewing the T&C that pop up, go back to this screen (your screenshot) and the buttons should be enabled.

That doesn't work for me. I go to the T&C but when I go back, there's no continue button. Android 11 beta on a pixel 2 XL.

Hi @pheditor. Thank you for reaching out and welcome to the community.Thanks for bringing this up and we totally understand where you're coming from. Regarding your concern. Kindly submit a diagnostic report to check in our end to see what could be causing the issue.

Let us know how you get on with the advice above.

We're here to answer any further questions you have.

The problem is that it won't even install to the point where you CAN submit a report. It won't even let you accept the Terms of Use.

The problem is that it won't even install to the point where you CAN submit a report. It won't even let you accept the Terms of Use. 

Like Mickoloh says, no way to enjoin settings or any options because the S2 app does not install sufficiently to allow one access to any settings or further menu options. One is left rudderless and only allowed to  read the terms and conditions. No place to click acceptance and keep moving on within the app.

 

An additional piece of information: it appears that upon switching to the web page view of the Terms of Use, the Sonos S2 app is restarted, thus possibly losing the ability to track that you went to that page. When closing the Terms of Use page, instead of immediately seeing the Sonos app view I left, I see there Orange app start-up page for a few seconds, as though the app just restarted/relaunched.

The S1 app offered me a download S2 invite mysteriously for the first time two days ago and after my nth install this one took, so my problem is over.

I figured it out!

 

I disabled "Don't keep activities" in the developer options.

 

Worked great for me, S2 installed!

Hi @Mickoloh, Wow, that's great. Thanks for sharing. I’m glad that it worked for you.

You're always welcome here.

I had the same problem on my iPhone 6

To get around it:

  1. Click on the terms of use, it will open Safari (read it or not) Leave Safari open!
  2. Double tap the home button on the iPhone 
  3. Swipe back to the Sonos S2 app
  4. Tap on the Accept button while leaving Safari open.

I’m having the same problem. When the ToS is open, it is open in a browser in the S2 app so I can’t switch back to the S2 app. This is frustrating.

I have an Android 9….have reinstalled this damn app at LEAST 10 times.  Can not get something that says “Accept terms of use”.  Now I’m even reading the Terms to see if I am missing something.  TOTALLY  frustrated.  The new app works on my PC (windows 10) but not on my phone.

I am having the same problem.  I have Android 9.  On the Terms of Use page, the black bar at bottom says View Terms of Use.  I have reinstalled at least 10 times.  The new Sonos 2 updated perfectly on my Windows 10 PC. PLEASE help!

Hi everyone, Regarding this issue, here are some steps for troubleshooting in resolving this issue.

 

Part of the S2 update requires users to accept a new EULA. On Android controllers, this can cause an app crash if the user has Chrome disabled or is running a 3rd party default web browser.

In other instances, the user cannot accept the EULA when the Android Developer Options are turned on. In this case, the button to accept will not appear, but the app will not crash.

  • Navigate to app settings for Chrome
  • Disable the Chrome app
  • Uninstall or reset Sonos app
  • Launch the Sonos app and progress through the first-run carousel
  • Select "view terms of use" button
  • Sonos app will crash or close

(App crashes)

  • If the app crashes,  re-enable Chrome as the default web browse temporarily.
  • Go through the S2 update and accept the EULA
  • You will be able to disable Chrome again as desired

(No accept button)

  1. If you cannot accept the EULA due to a missing accept button, disable the developer options.
  2. Go through the S2 update and accept the EULA
  3. You will be able to enable the developer options again if desired

I am trying to upgrade to the S2 app and cannot get past the terms of use. I view and scroll all the way down but there is not accept or way to acknowledge I agree with them.

 

I just had the same issue on iPhone 7 running iOS 13.4.1 shut down the S2 app, Go back to the S1 app it will ask you to open the S2 app when the new app opens the accept button was on the first page that opened. I hope this will work for you. Thanks and good luck!
