Faulty Sonos Roam Charger: Melted and Burned

Last month, we smelled smoke coming from the room where our Roam was located. We ran to it, to find a terrible chemical smell and saw smoke coming from the speaker. The charger was their branded product and was smoking. We immediately unplugged it, burning our fingers in the process. We reached out right away. Sonos said they were replacing the speaker 3 weeks ago, even though I am uncomfortable receiving the same product. They’ve now gone silent. We burned our fingers unplugging this. They offered nothing in terms of any form of apology or compensation. We are now up to Level 3 customer service, which has proven to be as subpar as the first two levels. I’ve googled and there are multiple people who have had this issue. I have a client who specializes in class action lawsuits. Has anyone else had this kind of issue and was harmed? I’m wondering if I should reach out to them for guidance. Sonos won’t allow video posting here but here’s a screenshot of the smoke and melting from their So

Move - WiFi 4

A new feature on my Ubiquiti Dream Pro router (https://www.ui.com/consoles) shows my Sonos Move using the WiFi 4 standard.  Is it possible to change that so Move uses WiFi 5?

Sonos Roam keeps playing an alarm which has been deleted

I have a lovely Roam which “roams about” in the house.At one point it was a sleep/wake speaker in my daughters room.Now it’s a Roam Bluetooth speaker for the TV, when sound needs to be mobil. The Issue is that the wake alarm i’ve set for my daughter keeps playing the same time every morning.This is regardless of it being in Bluetooth mode.It started when the speaker was moved and therefore renamed. I’ve tried to create a new alarm at the same time, which haven’t helped.I’ve tried to rename the Roam, remove it from my Sonos System - and re-add.Only thing i have left to do, is to dele the Apple playlist it was set to play, back then. Have any one else experienced this? Please help.

Spotify Android app and Sonos Roam, track info (artist, title, artwork etc) not updating when next song is played.

If I play a playlist in the official Spotify Android app and then cast to my Sonos Roam, whenever it automatically moves on to the next song it won’t update the song title, artist, artwork in the app or notification controls etc… It does update when you change the song manually.It also works as expected in the Sonos app itself.This is using a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with Android 8 installed and the official Spotify Android app version 8.6.18.720.

Roam update

After the latest update. My roam stopped charging, battery drained and no way of turning it on to reboot. Besides trashing or replacing what are my options to get this to work? I've tried numerous high speed type c cables and watts. I've tried rebooting by holding down the power button for 12secs. When I plug in the roam the orange light activates for about 5-7 secs and nothing else happens.

Sonos Roam cutting out songs every second using Spotify or Bluetooth

I’ve just bought a Sonos Roam for my trip to South America hoping to get a good experience “roaming” around with this device. Unfortunately this device seems to be broken, and the experience hasn’t been great.The main indicator is that the top status light keeps changing from white to ~orange/yellow. When I try to play a song the volume keeps resetting to ¼ of the volume, and every time this happens the songs gets played for half a second (or less) and then it’s dead silence for a second. I’ve been able to have it play music after combining some clicks between the play and mic buttons and suddenly and randomly it just works for a while until you change the songs or album. I’ve tried to factory reset it, create a new Sonos system, update the firmware using the Android app, the MacOS app, and nothing. It just doesn’t work. This is very annoying as I am far from home and cannot go back to the store and return it. Any help is appreciated.

Endless problems with Sonos Roam

Hey everyoneIs there anyone else here having issues with Roam? I do, and hasn’t stopped since I bought it. It lasts no more than a couple of days connected to WiFi and then I need to reconfigure it again. Battery doesn’t lasts as much as Sonos claims. Microphone can’t be turned on (I guess is because Roam gets disconnected from network).I have other three Sonos products which have no issues, but this little guy has really disappointed me. And yesterday I decided to call Customer Supports which really wasn’t helpful at all claiming that I have a network issue which it is not. I have my home with a lot of smart devices and none has a single problem with network.I do really want to take it back because it has really a waste of money. Any thoughts?

iphone and Move don’t ever seem to be on the same page

I sit here on my patio once ahain with Move playing fine and the iphone App (S1) has no clue about it, just sees the other 6 devices.  Wish this was an unusual situation. Put it happens often enuff that I know when I need to run inside to my PC to control the Move.  Deplorable situation   I would never buy another Move again.  When it goes offline its frustrating trying to recover it  especially with an uncooperative iphone app. In my alphabet  Move comes after Home Theater and before Office…. Where is it??

Move 2 roaming and wifi channel issues

My Move 2 appears to be a very sticky client when it comes to roaming between the accesspoints throughout my house. I have also have two Roams that do not have any roaming issues and hop from one to another AP without issues. I guess some driver-tweaking is still required to improve that.Another issue I encounter is that the Move 2 refuses to connect to one of my accesspoints that runs on 5GHz wifi channel 153. It simply does not connect to it, even when it is placed next to the AP. Are there any region restrictions in play? I am in Europe but run my wifi system with US location setting. None of my other wifi-clients (Androids, iPhones, etc.) exhibit the same problem.

Port/Boost on the way

I just received my Move today. All set up and playing. Sounds great. I have both Port & Boost coming next week. Question. All my Sonos is on my wifi router. When I get my Port and Boost should connect my Port first before connecting my Boost? Is there a certain procedure to connect Boost when all of the Sonos are already on a router wifi?

Can the Move eventually be stereo paired in bluetooth?

The recent price drops on some Sonos products tempted me to buy 2 Move in Lunar White. I just cannot be happier that I can use these outdoors through wifi and play stereo music! What is unfortunate and seems to have been a topic discussed (and closed) is using the Move in a stereo pair through bluetooth. That of course would be wonderful if and when we do take them where wifi is not available. The question I have is it possible for a firmware update to enable this function? If it cannot be done then there is no point of futher inquiry, but if it can be at least it would provide some hope that Sonos can address the issue. As the current product, and the revised one apparently not far off, gain popularity and sales support an effort by Sonos a firmware update would be justifiable (if again it is even posisble).

xfinity

I have read everything about trying to connect to xfinity WiFi. I understand not one word of it.  Seems the answer is to return the Sonos and buy Something else  Too bad I love all my Sonos products that work fine at my other house. But this house will have to find something new

Sonos Move Bluetooth Fails to Connect

My Sonos Move fails to connect to a Bluetooth device (Epson projector). It will find the projector but fail to connect every time. I have a Bose Bluetooth speaker that successfully connects every time so I can rule out the projector as the problem. Suggestions?  This is frustrating and I'm contemplating returning this speaker.

Sonos Move repeatedly goes offline

I enjoy most of my Sonos products and they usually work well. The Sonos Move is a big fail, in my opinion. I have multiple Sonos products (Play5’s, Play3’s, a One, aPort, a Playbase) on SonosNet, except, of course, the Move, which frequently goes offline and cannot be brought back without a reboot. I believe that the fundamental flaw is that the “Mixed” SonosNet/wifi does not work. I have a Linksys Velop system with SonosNet on a dedicated channel (11). The Move often goes offline, sometimes after being used in a different location, sometimes if a node has to be reset, or sometimes for no apparent reason.  The only thing that works is resetting the Move and adding it as if it were a new component.  It’s easier than taking down my whole network with a router reboot - which is NOT an adequate answer. Sonos always want to know what router you are using, what bands, what channels and other details that don't really matter. The Move apparently needs the option to be on the SonosNet like eve

Roam pair as a seperate system?

Forgive me if this has already been covered but my search didn’t find it. I would like to make my Roams a separate system for travel/holidays. I want the facility of a stereo pair so, as I understand it, Bluetooth doesn’t do what I want. If I try and reset them to do this and reset the app, then as soon as I log in with my email address, the app goes looking for the rest of the system it knows I have. Then it doesn’t seem to want me to connect to another network because it can’t find everything. My question: Do I need to create a new Sonos account with a different email so that I can have another “household”, or am I missing something obvious? TIA

Trying to Add Sonos Roam but...

I have a Sonos S1 system at home with a Play 3 and Play 5. I realize these are older products. I have downloaded the S2 controller to try to add the Sonos Roam I purchased today.It’s not letting me add it as it’s showing my S1 products and labeling them incompatible. I’m not seeing Roam at all (it’s powered on). Don’t really know what to do at this point.
