Sonos v16

Bad news for me my old iPad mini is now outdated as my media controller so had to use a full sized iPad now 😮‍💨 

Era bluetooth bug with some devices like bt turntables is fixed. But there is different feedback yet over the community. For some users it worked but for others it didn’t. 
 

Era100 Alexa bug sadly isn’t fixed yet. 
But there was also following an update for Alexa app later same day. Maybe both together fixed it… haven’t tested this after the Amazon update. 

My suspicion is that there were multiple issues. The fix worked for those with one specific problem, but not those with another connection issue. But if those folks don’t submit a diagnostic, and contact Sonos, we will never know. 

We know there are multiple fixes as the release notes says “bug fixes”  

I’m saying Sonos should do us a solid and let us know what the fixes are so we can focus our attention on finding the new bugs they introduced with this release 🤣 

No argument there at all, in fact I ‘liked’ your original post. I’m just suggesting that there may have been multiple reasons why people weren’t able to connect using Bluetooth, but decided because there was already one reason, there was no need to look any further.
 

But it would be nice if Sonos would be a bit more responsive in saying what was in an update beyond ‘bug fixes’….something I’ve asked them to do many times. It would be unacceptable behavior in my previous software release processes.  So far, to no avail, but it won’t stop me from periodically bringing it up, or liking posts like yours in a similar vein.

I thought your response was to my OP not the Bluetooth issue😀

I've requested a reboot option on the app but disappointed again to see it's not been added with this update. This would save owner's with the loss of connection issues having to do a complete power cycle.

I have sent diagnostics but it didn't show anything 

How would a remote reboot option work if the network connection to the device had been lost?

Perhaps it’s for the other Sonos devices that may be still working but support says needs to be rebooted as well. Or because the problem might be intermittent. I don’t know just spit ballin here. 

It’s probably easier to switch off the local DHCP server and then switch it on again, than go around rebooting everything. Anything that doesn’t connect after that, will likely need power-cycling manually by the user anyway.

If the IP addresses are static in the Routers DHCP reservation table, then the missing product(s) can also be quickly confirmed as actually being offline, rather than it perhaps being an intermittent multicast broadcast ‘device discovery’ issue by the controller device, which some users may confuse with a device not connected to the LAN. 

I can’t recall the last time I had a Sonos product drop its network connection and ‘device discovery’ has greatly improved in the S2 App during the past couple of years, particularly when running all on a WiFi mesh signal.
