How to maximize the battery life of Move 2

I have a new Move 2 (which is great--I am already thinking about getting a second one!) and want to maximize the battery life (not how long it can charge, how long the battery lasts before needing replacement). While I like the option of portability, I think the Move 2 will spend a lot of its life on the charger. Should I drain the battery sometimes and if so, how often? Any other tips for getting the longest battery life possible?

Roam connects to 5 ghz wifi, how do I steer to 2.4 ghz?

I have a TP-Link Mesh dual band router. The Roam automatically connects to the 5 ghz band but will then drop off / disconnect within an hour. How do I steer it to connect to the 2.4 ghx band?

Sonos are deleting "I won't buy headphones" posts

I guess they want the message coming from Google searches to be as positive as possible.

portables not linking together since the update

Hi, I have a Sonos move and a roam and keep having connectivity issues when I’m trying to use them both. They both work fine but when trying to add one to the other a prompt appears saying “unable to connect.”I never had this issue before the recent app update  please get this patched soon.  Thank you

Bug: Play-button starts queue instead of new album (Roam)

I've noticed a bug with the new app in combination with my Roam SL. On the album page of my streaming service (Deezer in my case), when I hit the play button, in some cases, it will start playing the music in the queue, instead of the album. If I press the play button again, it might start the correct album. I haven't noticed this with any of my other Sonos products.Added a screenshot to illustrate what button I'm talking about. Circled in red.Hypothesis: the button calls on two functions. First replace the queue, second start playing the queue. When the first operation fails, the second is still called.

Move not connecting to App

Hello,  It’s so frustrating that I cannot connect my regular Sonos Move to the new Sonos App. While the Sonos Move device appears listed on the App along with my other Sonos products, which I ‘tick’ it to stream music to the Move, the App say “Unable to Connect. Please try again later.” This never used to happen in the older app and I have been using the Move without a problem since 2019 on the earlier App. My internet network, bandwidth all is the same and I checked there are no updates required on the Move or the new App. I don’t want to use Bluetooth on Move for various reasons!  I am in Australia and when I call the Sonos Australia helpline number, the wait is for more than 2 hours everytime I called!  Can anyone PLEASE help me!!  Thanks heaps!

Roam 2 only charges in temperatures under 70 F

I think I have a new idea as to why sone Roam 2s are not charging.  Mine has the same problem  I tried quite an assortment of chargers and cables. I also did the long press reset suggestion multiple times.  All to no avail. In the evening I sometimes got intermittent charging with USB-C (charge for 5 minutes, then stop for an hour, repeat).    The only variable that changed when I got the intermittent charging was room temp.  So I thought, what if the battery temperature sensor is bad or miscalibrated.  Since it protects the battery from overheating, it may be shutting it off at too low a temperature, such as at room temp (80 in my house during summer).So I put it on my weakest Qi charger  (which never charged it at all) and put it in the fridge overnight.  Voila! it went all the way to 100%.  This was repeatable.  I’d move it outside, and while on the charger, it would discharge at 10% an hour.  Back into the fridge, and perfect chargingSo try it in the fridge to see if my case is a o

Roam2 Wake from Sleep New App?

Hi,I believe a Roam2 in sleep state (not fully powered off) should wake when the Sonos App is opened, but this is not happening for me.I’ve just bought the Roam2, so after the new app update.Looking at older posts regarding the original Roam, on the original app, the Roam would wake on opening the app. Also, people have referred to the old app indicating that the Roam is ‘offline’, with a red dot, when it is sleeping or powered off.Using the new app, I am not seeing this. The Roam2 disappears from the device list completely when sleeping or powered off and only reappears in the app when woken by physically pressing the power button or placing on charge.This is really inconvenient as I want to wake it up and send music to it while I am in a different area of the house. I don’t want to deactivate battery save because this would drain the battery far more quickly for the times I am not actively using the speaker.Any solutions or is this yet another problem with the new app vs the old one?

Roam 2 charging

Any recommendations of what wall outlet plug to buy for charging Roam 2 via the USB-C to USB-C cable that comes with it?  The only one I’m seeing on Sonos store is for the old prior gen Roam and USB–C to USB–A.  I’m going to buy the charging kit too, but I also want to be able to plug it right into the wall as opposed to setting it on the charging stand.
