I'm using Google Pixel, so the new Android Sonos app to control my system (Beam Gen2 + era 300s + sub).

Prior to the app upgrade I had no connectivity issues whatsoever. Ever since the new app upgrade, every time I open the app, it says System Not connected. Sometimes after waiting for a minute or two, the system shows up.

Sometimes after I started playing a song, and I come back to skip song or select new, the app again says System Not connected, while playing the song that I started a few seconds back. Every few seconds, the app loses connection. What in the world is going on? Why release an app with such level of bugginess? 

It has made my Sonos experience infinitely worse and I'm frustrated beyond words. Does anyone have a solution?
