Question

Forced APP update following latest Desktop Controller update (Build 80155014)...

What on earth have you done now? My Windows Desktop Controller indicated an update and I carried this out and assume it’s made some firmware changes to my speakers and now I can no longer use S2 16.3 app as it just states this with no functionality: 

I have retained using the old app as IT ACTUALLY WORKED unlike your failed new 80 version.

HOW DO I CONTINUE USING MY SYSTEM AS I WANT TO WITHOUT LOSING ALL FUNCTIONALITY???

    On the positive side... in addition to the Windows controller my one and only iOS controller works fine with the firmware update.

    Yeah that’s a good sign. For anyone who got screwed out of their controls the desktop app is almost always reliable.

      Speakers/connection never been an issue... just app.

      Was using android 16.1 to retain some sort of control... now only desktop gives me any reliability/ control.

      Android/iOS still not reliable... former loses recents/favs still and the latter struggles to get beyond library and to composers/albums etc.

      On recents, when they appear for a few seconds see stuff I've not used... greyed out but nevertheless exhibits a worrying flakiness…

        The good news is a new app update is coming. Also the bad news is a new app update is coming. 🤣🤞

          Why are people updating their firmware and/or apps if everything is working OK?

          Why are people updating their firmware and/or apps if everything is working OK?

          Some updates are “forced” but, for me, the main reason is that things are not working as expected so I’m hoping for some fixes to improve things. 

          Moderator note: No updates are ever forced. If you disable system updates in settings and app updates in app store, you will not get updates. If you do update one, however, you may need to update the other before you can use your system.

            Well that makes sense, because in that case things are not working OK.

            Wondering about the OP though because they said they installed the updated because the controller “indicated an update”--could mean different things.

            I would guess that the OP, like others of us, has been using the Windows PC App to manage things. There have been a few firmware updates since 7th May but until this one they did not break the 16.1 Android and IOS Apps.

              Precisely, this...

                But if it's working well then it's already in tip top condition. The only thing an update can do is make it worse.
