“ We couldn't link your Sonos Move to your account. Check your Wi-Fi connection and try again later.”

I am trying to connect my Sonos Move (1st gen) to my existing Sonos system. In the app, my Move shows in the system list of devices but it says “Not registered”. So I click on Fix It and follow all the steps. But always get the following messages during setup: ”There was a problem linking your Sonos Move to your account.”“There was a problem adding your Sonos Move to your system. Try again later.““We couldn't link your Sonos Move to your account. Check your Wi-Fi connection and try again later.”“Your Sonos Move has been added. Audio playback will be available once this product is updated and linked to your account.“ And then nothing. It just says contact supportI have done the following: Run the setup process several times  Factory reset the Sonos Move Restarted my phone  Rebooted my WiFi  Deleted and re-installed the appNothing works. The device is connected to the power supply.  Would greatly appreciate some help with this.

Sonos Roam keeps disconnecting while playing

We use our Roam to play white noise in our daughters room. The speaker is set up in her room on the wireless charger. Previously it always worked fine, and then now it randomly just drops out and appears as “not connected” in the Sonos app. It’ll play for an hour or so, and then it disappears.  Hard rebooting the speaker via the button on the back returns it to the app and makes it usable again, but it’ll play for another hour or so and then randomly stop and disappear.  For reference: my home sonos system runs on Sonosnet channel 6

Sonos Roam connection issue on low bluetooth volume

When I connect my phone to my sonos roam via bluetooth, I initially don’t get any music from the speaker, although music is playing on the phone. Also when I hit the Play button on the Roam, I can’t pause the music. I still get the “connection successful” sound by the roam and my phone also shows that I am connected. This only happens, when the bluetooth volume is below a certain level (about 2/3 max level). What helps is turning the bluetooth volume to maximum after connecting and once I hear the music turn it back down. At this point I can also control the music with the buttons on the roam such as pause or next song. Is there a certain input thrshold, before the roam acknowledges the connection, and if yes, can I lower it? I use my roam a lot to listen to quiet music in the middle of the night, and it is a real pain to always have to max the volume for a successful connection.

Sonos Move docking station

Hi! First post here. Live in Norway, but I guess the details are the same all over. I currently own a Boost, Sub gen 2, Arc, 4 Sonos One and one Play: 3.I’m thinking of replacing the Sonos One we have on the kitchen counter with a Move (gen 1) so I can remove the wire that makes a clutter, and be able to take it outside on the roof terrace.I know that the Move can be charged through the docking station or via USB-C, but what I would like to know is if the wire connected to the docking station can be removed when it’s not used. I know that the adapter itself can be removed from the wire, but my question is if the wire is permanently conneted to the docking station or not. I was hoping that the Move can be places on the docking station permanently on the kitchen counter, but don’t want the wire to be attached to the station, unless I’m using it. The alternative is to keep the docking station somewhere else, and just charge via USB-C.

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?

Sonos Roam - Can't connect to WIFI

*** Update - its connected *** Hello,I have been experiencing continuous drop outs when trying to listen to my Sonos Roam. I read that I needed to connect to 2.4 instead of 5g. So I reset it while I temporarily disabled the 5g band.How do I now reconnect it to my WIFI? I’ve reconnected my iPhone to WIFI so it's (presumably on 2.4). Opened the SONOS app which helpfully tells me that the roam is not found and to ensure it's connected to WIFI. But that is what I am trying to do.How do I get the thing back onto my WIFI?The LED on the Roam is flashing green.

Connecting Roam Speaker to 2 Sonos networks

I own 2 homes with a Sonos system in each home. I have recently purchased a roam speaker and connected it to the Sonos system in 1 home.  Can I take this same speaker to the second home and connect it to that network without deleting the connection to the network in home number 1?

Roam charging using USB C port?

Hello…..is it possible to charge a Roam speaker using a USB C connection?  Not talking about the cable into the speaker, but the other end going into a charging port.  The cable provided uses a USB A connection, and I would like use a USB C connection.

Finding it impossible to sign in. I’m using the app on an iPhone 14 Max. Thanks

New Move 2’s Still Can’t do Bluetooth Stereo?!

So disappointed in Sonos. A brand new iteration of the Move is just announced, the Move 2 which they say has been “redesigned inside and out”, and it still can’t handle basic bluetooth stereo? How many hundreds if not thousands of threads have been created over the past few years on this topic asking Sonos to add this basic feature that ALL of their competitors offer at less than ½ the price?  Don’t tell me it can’t be done, you’re fooling yourself if you believe that. This is a choice…one that completely ignores their customers requests.

Roam Powering On When Plugged In

Hello… Let’s say I’m done using Roam for a period of time but I now want to charge it for my next use.  When I power off the Roam, walk it to the charging cable (OEM supplied cable), and plug it in, it powers itself back on and I have to wait for the powering up to complete before I can turn it off again.Just because I’m plugging it in to charge it doesn’t mean I want the device to power on.Questions:Why is this the normal/default behavior of the device and/or what benefit am I overlooking by this behavior? Is there a way to prevent this?Thank you.

Move 2 vs 1 comparison

BackgroundIf you look through my comments in this forum you will see that I am a big fan of the original Sonos Move. I have a stereo pair and, when set up in the garden, are my favourite speakers. I have a garden room with Two 300s and a sub, which is the best sounding but not portable, nor outdoors.The outdoor listening experience, weather permitting, is great and different and with the two Moves, is my favourite way to listen to music.Move 2 PurchaseSo the Move 2 was announced. Double the battery life and stereo sound from a single unit. So with an upgrade voucher burning a hole in my wallet I decided to upgrade. The Move 1s will always get a decent 2nd hand price. One of the major reasons was the 24hr battery life, anything else would be a plus.Reading through all the reviews, some mentioned better sound and the stereo capabilities of course, but most focused on the extra battery life, touch controls, changes to the charging brick, Bluetooth changes and the line in capability.  What
