I have a sonos Roam in my Sonos systems and it is literally a pain to use. Every time I power it on it does not show up in the app and needs to be factory reset and re-added.
The factory reset and re-add its also hit and miss and almost always i need to do the process 3-5 times until it show up and can be used.
This is what I just went through the other day when i wanted to use it:
- Power on Roam
- Wait for 5 mins and it did not show up in the app even-though it was on
- Factory reset and re add
- Got stuck in connecting to wifi for 10 mins
- Factory reset and re add again
- Now it connected but in the app it showed up not configured and no option to fix it
- Factory reset and re add again
- Got stuck connecting to wifi again
- Factory reset and re add again
- Finally it connected and i could play music (30+ mins later)
- When i was done i powered it off fully since otherwise it eats the battery in 1-2 day when sleeping
- I also charged it so battery is 100%
- This was Saturday afternoon. Today when i powered it on again its not in the app so i have to go through this again.
So my questions are:
- Does anyone have this issues with the Roam? I read some things online (reddit and other forums) of people experiencing similar with no solution.
- Does the Move have similar issues or is it more reliable at staying connected in the system ?
