I am wondering. Why is it so difficult to connect to sonos roam via bluetooth.

Everytime when my wife wants to connect to sonso roam with bluetooth it just does not work.

Sometimes when the device is off it starts automatically and no worries, but more often even when the device is on, the bluetooth on the phone tries to connect but no response what so ever.
I have to stop and start the sonos several times and all of a sudden it connects.

What I described is exactly the same patern that I must follow to get the thing working.

just try over and over again until it reacts.

It is really annoying that she up until now is never was able to connect with out my help.

She has no issue with all our other Bluetooth devices so she knows what to do. (Just click on the devices name in the bluetooth menu)

I am worrying I was unlucky and bought a faulty device.

Do you realise that you can long-press the speakers Power/BT-button a second time, when it’s Bluetooth paired (if the speaker is connected to your Wife’s mobile) which free’s it up for pairing/connecting …and you can then select it in your own BT device list to connect it back to your mobile device - you don’t need to ask your Wife to goto her device to disconnect it.

Long pressing the BT/Power-button on the speaker for a third time, whilst in BT mode, (until you hear the tone) should put it back to its WiFi connection.
