Sonos Move runs out of battery after 1h playing and charges in 10min

Hello Sonos lovers!I have had my Move for about 2.5 years now, and love it. I use it almost every day for 2-3h unplugged, then return it to its base. On occasional weekends, we use it fully for around 8h or so (maybe more?).However today for the first time, it started running consistently out of battery after about 1 to 1.5h playing. But what is weird is that after only about 10min on its charger base, it shows 100% battery, which makes me feels something is fishy. Last time I put it on charge today it literally went: 2% 7% 9% in about 2 min, then I looked again 5min later and it showed 100%. Surely it doesn't charge that fast. It's as if the system thinks the battery is empty when it is not!Anyone has advice/experience with this?Thanks!

The Roam is connected via the app to Wi-Fi,but the LED is blue

Every time I connect to the Roam using the Sonos app the LED turns blue on the Roam. Seems wrong?  Seems the LED should be white on wi-fi, not blue.

App does not seem to be showing battery usage

Hi,I think this might have happened since the latest update but now, when I use one of my battery portable devices off it's charger, the App seems to continuously show it's at 100%. Noticed it with one of my Roams, that I use a lot for listening to podcasts via Bluetooth from my phone. Will test another Roam just to make sure it's not specific to that device.Has anyone else noticed this?  So, my other Roam has just now dropped down to show 99% so seems like an issue with the other one. I will try the other one again later to see if it continues to not communicate it's battery status to the App.  Moderator edit: combined posts

Sonos move and Wifi problem (again)

HelloI know this is a popular problem and while I ve tried many suggestions I still have havent solved it.I recently changed my wifi with a new modem router provided by my ISP. Now I am not able to connect to it,  did the reconnect procedure on the app many times and it fails when connecting to the new wifi with error "Connection problem". The new wifi uses a single SSiD for both 2.4 and 5g channels. Not sure if this is related. I was able to reconnect all my devices on the new wifi (even some dumb AC controller device) but the move... Help appreciated!

sonos roam turns on wireless charger

So i noticed a really annoying feature between the wireless charger and the wired.When i turn off the Roam on wired, it stays power off, until i turn it on manually by touching, which is perfect, since it will not stand there and be standby for no reason when i dont want to use. Or until i unplug/plug in the device again.I bought the wireless charger since i thought it would be more stylish. What i noticed is that even if i manually turn off the roam on the back while in the charger, after some time if will flick back on by itself.Why does this happen on the wireless charger and not the wired?It is super annoying since i bought the wireless charger because it should be better for the battery, but if it just keeps powering it on by itself, then it doesn’t matter :/Any way to fix this, or is this just a stupid mechanism not possible to avoid with magnetic charger?

Roam not working. Totally unresponsive

My sonos roam appears in the app but says it is offline.  I have tried everything to charge it and the orange light comes on when I connect it to usb-c.  However even if I hold the reset for 15 seconds, 25 seconds, 5 seconds, the white light will not come on. Please help.

Touch control settings disabling physical buttons on Move

It seems a recent update has impacted the touch control functionality. It used to be that disabling touch controls would only impact the functionality that reacts to touch. Recently, however, when touch controls are disabled, you can no longer switch between Bluetooth and WIFI functionality. Is anyone else having this issue?

Can now simply play personal music library via app.

Finally after days & hours of trying to find a workaround regarding not being able to access my music library on my phone & tablet.Thanks to someone mentioning  the App called HiFi Cast. Sorry did not get his name. But thanks heaps. Best answer!Downloaded the app. Opened the app & it showed my music library on my device.I then found some options by pressing the row of lines on the top left corner that showed one of them being my Sonos Play 5 which I pressed. Then I pressed the album I wanted to play & guess what. It works!I found this the most easiest & least time consuming than the other options of uploading music to clouds, Youtube music, Spotify etc. Trying to workout what a NAS drive is etc, etc I even figured out I could also plug in a bluetooth receiver into the 3.5 jack at the back of the speaker. But mine was a very cheap one which played the music but voice/singing was far too quiet. So I ordered a HiFi bluetooth receiver......... But looks like I may not n

Sonos roam dead after not quite 2 years of use

My sonos roam just stopped in the middle of a song. It was on the charging base. Thought it was the base that was not working properly so I ordered a usb cable. I let the sonos charge long enough but was not able to turn it on after many attempts using the technician’s recommendations. I was offered a rebate on a new Sonos as long as I return the system no charge. However, since I am very disappointed in my purchase, I am not eager to buy another Sonos! This company was recommended to me by a friend, but I do not think they live up  to expectations, mine anyway.

A Sub in the form factor of a Move

SONOS should make a sub in the form factor of a move so you can move it around and pair with other speakers when you want a room to have some more bass  Would be good to also be able to pair with two other moves for playing music outside etc

Sonos Move isn’t very mobile

I have two networks that I ‘move’ between.  One is a Netgear Orbi network, the other is just a home gateway provided by my ISP. Everything works fine at home, but I can’t seem to connect to my Orbi network with the Move. It fails when I attempt to connect to that network using the Sonos app. I called Sonos support, and while I appreciate that the Sonos system is a “very complicated system”, I’m having trouble understanding how my computer, phone, tablet, etc don’t seem to have any problems managing literally 100s of other networks, while the Move requires a factory reset if you want to ‘move’ it to another WiFI network. Oh, it’ll do Bluetooth fine, but if you want to stream directly from your network, so the music will keep playing when you walk too far from the speaker, you’ll have to do that within the confines of your home network. Otherwise, get used to factory resets, and other BS if you want to ‘move’ the Move around.Come on Sonos, this is a ridiculous limitation. When can we exp

sonos move bluetooth pairs with device but no sound

My sonos move will pair with my PC and phone but no audio will play through the speaker.  The sound level will move up and down in accordance with my source material but no sound.  I believe it is an issue with the Move because it always happens when paired with my phone.  I have already tried a factory reset and have the most recent update.

Sonos Roams are Dead

I have 2 Sonos Roams with charging docs. I used them a lot over the last 2 years but they have been in the cupboard for about 6 months as I went for a smaller setup and didn’t use them that much anymore.I since got them out and now can’t get them to charge or turn on. The red LED does not come on when I plug them in. They are both completely dead. What are my options here?

Roam SL - Bluetooth and Equalizer Questions

You read things on the internet and don’t know whether they are true. I read in a review that you need the Sonos app to manage even the basic Bluetooth functions. So, question 1: Can I connect to Sonos Roam SL from a BT enabled device that cannot load the Sonos app? (I have a couple of portable music players which use a proprietary operating system and cannot load apps.) Does the Sonos Roam SL remember equaliser settings across devices? (That is, if I adjust the equaliser using a Sonos app on my Android phone or Windows computer, will those settings still be present when I connect to one of the players referred to in 1.)Thank you.Clive
