Move Mode Button.

Hi @mountaindog.

Welcome to the Sonos community and thanks for reaching out to us.

I would like to share with you these guides on how to help fix the issue.

• Reboot the Sonos Move. (Remove the Move from it’s charging bay, press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds, and place it back on it’s charging bay) without pressing any button it should automatically turn on by itself.

• Pair Sonos Move with Bluetooth to be able to use the move on Bluetooth mode.

• Stream AirPlay audio to Sonos to be able to use airplay via your iPhone or any Apple products.

• Unsupported OS versions would also allow us to check if our controller is compatible with Airplay 2 and Sonos.

I hope this helps.

Please let us know how it goes. We are always here to help out.

Same exact thing here. Move was delivered yesterday, no issues adding to my home WiFi Sonos system at all… but the MODE button is dead, does nothing. No chime, no lights, no nothing. Holding it down same deal. Move never shows up when searching for it via Bluetooth. I have reset the Move several times and re-set up via WiFi, still no luck.

Of course now it’s the weekend and they’re closed. 🤬

@mountaindog did you ever get this resolved?

@Paul A any ideas?

Hi @rareohs.

Welcome to the Sonos community and thanks for reaching out to us.

I would like to recommend the above-provided suggestions. 

Once the Sonos Move has been added to a Sonos account it should appear on the Sonos app and the Sonos Move should have a solid white light on top.

Let me share with you the LED status guide of Sonos to better understand the light behavior of your Sonos Move. We may want to make sure that we are pressing the Bar button as the Mode button since the top round button is the power button and the bottom circle button is the join button. The above-quoted recommendation contains the guide on how to Pair Sonos Move with Bluetooth.

I bought mine yesterday, I thought it was only me! It connects to wifi and my other speakers with no issue. I‘ve done the all of steps above three times over, and still nothing for the bluetooth!!

How did they manage to sort your issues? 

Thanks

See above, might just need an update!

On your Sonos app go to settings > system > system settings > system updates > check for updates 

Mine said an update was available, and once that was all installed the Bluetooth button worked perfectly

Hi @Carlos Argüello.

Thanks for the detailed and immediate response.

Can we try to check if there is any update on the Sonos app that needs our attention as one of the members of the community contacted our technical support team and found out that an update was required and after performing the update it seems that the issue has been resolved.

Also checked that and the system is up to date according to the app

Hi @Carlos Argüello.

Thanks for the immediate response.

I would like to recommend a complete factory reset on the Sonos Move and try to add it back on the Sonos App. Just to set your expectation, performing a factory reset on any Sonos device would remove all information stored on the device such as Sonos account, music service, Wifi credentials, etc. It will act as if it is brand new fresh out of the box. Then once added back on the Sonos app, try to check for updates again and try to check if the issue is resolved.
