Re: What are you looking for this Black Friday? Did you know you can get 30% off new Sonos speakers if you have old ones to trade up?

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
I’d read rumors earlier in the year that they might bring out a smaller “core 
sub” as it was referred to and if they did that I’d so be first in line to do 
it.  I thought about the now seemingly older sub but hesitate due to its hefty 
weight and the worry that I’ll buy one and then as if by magic a new updated 
one will appear. That’d so be my luck. But I love my 2nd gen Play:5’s my Sonos 
Ones and my beam that’s for sure.
Thanks to all whose tireless accessibility advocacy has made the products and 
accompanying apps as excellent as they are.
Take good care.
Robin

Hi,

 

Sonos has announced their Black Friday deals, this  year you can save 20% on 
new Sonos speakers.

But if you already own some older Sonos gear like a Connect, Connect Amp or an 
older Play 1 first generation, you can even get a better deal.

Sonos offers a 30% discount onew Sonos speakers if you use the Sonos Trade-Up 
program.

 

I bought my first Sonos gear in 2009 and own 3 of the old Connect players which 
are designed to connect to existing stereo systems or powered speakers, I also 
have 3 connect Amp players which are stand-alone amplifiers which connect to 
existing bookshelf, tower or built-in wall or ceiling speakers and I have the 
original Play 5 speaker from 2011 which was called the S5 when it came out.

The 3 Connect Amp speakers I am using now at my retail store where each Amp 
drives a set of speakers, one for the main floor, one for the upstairs and one 
is hooked up to a pair of exterior speakers.

 

I decided the 30% off was too good of an offer and I just traded in my old Play 
5 for a Play 5 Gen 2 and one of my Connects for the new Sonos Move which sits 
on a charging base, but if you want to bring it somewhere you can simply pick 
it up and it then runs for up to 10 hours on the built-in rechargeable battery. 
Furthermore, the move is part of your Sonos system when at home and in reach of 
your WiFi, but you can also bring it with you anywhere and simply push a button 
on the back to switch it to Bluetooth mode and then use it as a regular 
Bluetooth speaker. Of course if you have 2 of them you can set them up as a 
stereo pair. Here is the short description from Sonos:

 

Get brilliant sound anywhere with the weatherproof and drop-resistant Move.

Control with your voice, the Sonos app, and Apple AirPlay 2 at home, and stream 
via Bluetooth when WiFi isn't available.

Great sound in the great outdoors

Experience surprisingly deep bass, a wide soundscape, and automatic Trueplay™ 
tuning that perfectly balances the sound for where you are and what you're 
listening to.

Voice control

The Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are built right in so on WiFi you can 
play music, check news, set alarms, get your questions answered, and more, 
completely hands free.

WiFi at home, Bluetooth everywhere else

Stream over WiFi and connect Move to the rest of your Sonos system at home. 
Switch to Bluetooth when you're away and offline.

Ultra durable

Don't worry about accidental drops or bumps. Move's components are protected by 
a hardwearing, shock-resistant case.

Grab and go

Move fits seamlessly into the included charging base and features an ergonomic 
handle, making it easy to pick up and carry.

Battery that lasts

Enjoy up to 10 hours of continuous play time and deep, powerful sound. Easily 
recharge Move on the included base, or a compatible USB-C charger.

Weather resistant

With an IP56 rating, Move stands up to humidity, rain, snow, dust, salt spray, 
UV rays, and extreme heat and cold.

Simple recharging

No need to plug Move in. Set the speaker on the included indoor charging base 
for quick power while you listen, and get power wherever you need it with an 
additional charging base.

 

As for the trade up program, you can do it through the website, simply log in, 
select the speaker you want to trade up/recycle and then confirm in the Sonos 
app, then next time you log in and place an order your 30% discount is there 
for you to use for anything Sonos sells including any of their packages like a 
set of Play 5 Gen 2 speakers, a surround sound set up etc.

You could also take your old Sonos speaker which qualifies for the program to 
any Sonos retailer like Best Buy and they can do it for you and this way if you 
had a Best Buy gift card you could get the 30% discount as well as use your 
gift card to pay for the discounted speaker. I just ordered a $500 Best Buy 
gift card with Aeroplan points and plan to get a second Play 5 so I can set 
them up as a stereo pair mounted to the wall in our bedroom.

As for my retail business, I am very tempted to trade in my 3 Connect Amp 
speakers for the new Sonos Amp and the Sonance architectural speakers which

to 4 speaker pairs on the one Amp. Sound quality is supposed to be similar to 
what a stereo pair of Play 5 Gen 2 produces which is pretty darn good.

This is for the most part our Black Friday plan for this year although we are 
also looking at some new window coverings, but I'll send another message with 
appropriate subject line.
The trade up program is of course not limited to Black Friday. It was announced 
a few weeks ago, but I am not sure if it is a limited time offer or something 
Sonos will continue to offer indefinitely. It's certainly a great way to 
upgrade your hardware to the newer products which all support Airplay 2 like 
the new Sonos One SL 

RE: Workout app on watch series 3

Waterlock gets turned on in two ways:
1. You go to control centre on the watch, swipe to waterlock and double tap it
2. You select pool or open water swim as your workout, this will turn on 
waterlock automatically.

If so turn the digital crown up (away from you if the watch is on your left

Hi, I am also new with the watch. However, I do use the workout app. I think 
you have to be on page one in the app to find the “end” button. When you are in 
the workout session swipe right to the end of the page where it will say page 2 
of three or page three of three. Now swipe up or down until it says page one of 
three. I think the end button is between new and pause near the top. Good luck,

I just recently got the watch and today I went into the Workout app, chose the 
equipment I was using and started the session. Now no matter what I try I can’t

down but when I turn it back on, the app is still going. How in the world do I 
get it to stop? And it keeps saying to turn the digital crown to unlock but 
when I do that, nothing happens. I am totally stumped.

Issue with making phone calls via Siri voice command

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

Hello list,

So for the past few days, I’ve been experiencing an odd issue on my iPhone
SE running iOS 13.2.3 . For some reason, I am unable to initiate phone calls
via Siri. Be it with a direct command to dial XXX or call so and so. Same
goes if I want to tell Siri to make a call via Google Voice with the new
Siri command integration Google recently introduced. It did work fine up
until this problem.

I’ve changed nothing in my Siri permissions or any other settings and Siri
otherwise works perfectly fine. Dictation, asking questions, etc. Also, I
can make calls if I manually punch in the number. It’s just when I try
telling Siri to make a call, I’ll get this weird hanging behavior to please
wait… Just a minute until it times out and  am told that sorry, can’t
establish a connection. I have tried restarting the phone too, but no dice.
Once or twice, I was able to make a call, but that was the rare exception. 

This phone’s on Ting which is  a GSM/CDMA MVNO. The phone itself is an
unlocked GSM model. 

Anyone else come across this behavior? Any ideas on a solution? 

Thanks,

Cristóbal

RE: Issue with making phone calls via Siri voice command

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

Yeah, I think I’ve had it once or twice before, but never for a prolonged 
period of time like this.

I want to say that I also had it for a bit on my XR the same day so figured it 
was some sort of weird server issue, but the XR thing went away and now I’m on 
my fourth day with this problem on my SE. Siri just says “just a sec” “One more 
moment please” then I get the cannot establish a connection thing. Otherwise, 
the phone works fine.

So strange.

command integration Google recently introduced. It did work fine up until this 
problem.

I’ve changed nothing in my Siri permissions or any other settings and 
Siri otherwise works perfectly fine. Dictation, asking questions, etc. Also, I 
can make calls if I manually punch in the number. It’s just when I try telling 
Siri to make a call, I’ll get this weird hanging behavior to please wait… Just 
a minute until it times out and  am told that sorry, can’t establish a 
connection. I have tried restarting the phone too, but no dice. Once or twice, 
I was able to make a call, but that was the rare exception. 

This phone’s on Ting which is  a GSM/CDMA MVNO. The phone itself is an 
unlocked GSM model. 

Anyone else come across this behavior? Any ideas on a solution? 

Thanks,

Cristóbal

RE: Issue with making phone calls via Siri voice command

[Carolyn]

I have a SE with GSM towers. The Consumer Cellular guy told me when I first got 
my phone, you'll have a better experience, if you call from Contacts or dial 
your own, since Siri won't always be able to make a connection. . I have found 
him to be right on. I wish he knew what would be a good stock to buy 
hahahahahahaha.

Re: Audible on Apple Watch

[Anna Dresner]

Hi Marie,

I know there's been an update in the last week or so. Maybe you got it already. 
I would say, set up the transfer, and leave your watch connected to power for a 
long time. Maybe set up the transfer before you put your watch on the charger 
at night.

Best,
Anna

Audible on Apple Watch

[Marie]

I hope I don’t drive everyone crazy with my watch questions. It is the series 3 
and running 5.03 OS.
I opened the Audible app and tried to synch a book from my phone as instructed. 
The first time, it got to 34%, stopped and started over. The second time it 
made to to 54%. I have Spectrum internet which offers two connections. One is 
2G and the other is 5G. The phone is connected to the 5G, but the watch does 
not even find that one, so connected to the 2G. Could this be a problem? And is 
it a shortcoming of the older watch?
One last question, for now, will the Series 3 work okay with the new OS/ 
Thanks,
Marie

Re: Issue with making phone calls via Siri voice command

[Mary Otten]

I’ve seen that problem from time to time, but usually, it comes in conjunction 
with other Siri related issues. So I had the idea there was some kind of Siri 
problem, even though I had a perfectly good connection to the Internet. Never 
seen this in isolation.

Be sure you're using the latest update to Audible. In a recent one, they

RE: Issue with making phone calls via Siri voice command

[sherrywells1157]

I’ve had this happen a few times.  Turning the phone off then back on has 
always resolved the problem.  If you’ve tried this already, then I’d suggest 
calling Apple support.

 

Good luck,

Subject: Issue with making phone calls via Siri voice command

 

Hello list,

So for the past few days, I’ve been experiencing an odd issue on my iPhone SE 
running iOS 13.2.3 . For some reason, I am unable to initiate phone calls via 
Siri. Be it with a direct command to dial XXX or call so and so. Same goes if I 
want to tell Siri to make a call via Google Voice with the new Siri command 
integration Google recently introduced. It did work fine up until this problem.

I’ve changed nothing in my Siri permissions or any other settings and Siri 
otherwise works perfectly fine. Dictation, asking questions, etc. Also, I can 
make calls if I manually punch in the number. It’s just when I try telling Siri 
to make a call, I’ll get this weird hanging behavior to please wait… Just a 
minute until it times out and  am told that sorry, can’t establish a 
connection. I have tried restarting the phone too, but no dice. Once or twice, 
I was able to make a call, but that was the rare exception. 

This phone’s on Ting which is  a GSM/CDMA MVNO. The phone itself is an unlocked 
GSM model. 

Anyone else come across this behavior? Any ideas on a solution? 

Thanks,

Cristóbal

Re: Issue with making phone calls via Siri voice command

[Richard Turner]

Please, anyone with this issue write and/or call Apple Accessibility.
As a last resort, you might try turning off Siri, reboot the phone, Turn Siri 
back on and see if that helps.
If it does, write those steps to Apple.
Something is truly screwed with Siri lately.
I chose to sensor myself in that last statement.

I’ve seen that problem from time to time, but usually, it comes in conjunction 
with other Siri related issues. So I had the idea there was some kind of Siri 
problem, even though I had a perfectly good connection to the Internet. Never 
seen this in isolation.

Hello Fanus,

To turn off Apple Music options, open Settings and choose Music. then uncheck 
Show Apple Music.

To change the volume of VoiceOver sounds, open Settings, choose Accessibility, 
then VoiceOver, then Audio, then Sounds & Haptics. Turn off Match Speech 
Volume. Then you'll find a slider for adjusting the volume of VoiceOver sounds.

Best,
Anna

Re: What are you looking for this Black Friday? Did you know you can get 30% off new Sonos speakers if you have old ones to trade up?

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
Ok buddy here’s the thing I’ll make you a deal you fly in and carry a sub up to 
my second floor where my play:5’s live and we’ll be good (laughs). That’s why I 
care about the weight it’d be one thing if I could just slide it across my 
first floor but being a petite person carrying that thing upstairs might 
potentially cause injury to me.  I’m sure the bigger one sounds great but it is 
interesting that they haven’t updated it with the touch controls and as one 
commenter in the article I read indicated from a visual standpoint its finish 
doesn’t match the newer speakers either.
I should also mention that I’ve some computer speakers that have a sub that’s 
smaller than the dimensions of the Sonos Sub and it packs a mean bassy punch 
when handling music so a smaller form factor might not necessarily compromise 
sound quality too much and as you indicate it could complement the beam in 
rooms with smaller footprints quite nicely. Ah well I’ll keep wishing.

I also wanted to mention if anyone’s interested in the beam that while it’s 
$319 at Sonos official site I just saw it at Amazon in the USA for $299 not 
sure how long it’d last but that is a nice price for it and thought some might 
like to know.
And to make it iPhone related as sieghard mentioned the app is awesome and 
again thanks to Sieghard Neal and others who advocated tirelessly over the 
years for the fruits which we all now can enjoy. You are appreciated.

Robin

Hi Robin,

 

I saw articles from early in the year about Sonos maybe finally coming out with 
a headset in 2020. I hadn’t heard about a new, more compact Sub although it 
might fit in with their strategy where they may think people who bought the 
Beam instead of the older Playbar wanting a smaller and aybe less expensive 
Sub. However, as an owner of the current Sub I must say I would have to 
hear/experience it to believe in it. The current Sonos Sub is stunning and I am 
not so sure why people would want a smaller Sub, it’s already pretty compact, 
but I grant you that it is heavy, but then who cares, you put it in a corner or 
flat underneath something and that’s it.

For me a headset would be an absolute guarantied purchase, I have been waiting 
for years and if it is as good as all the other stuff Sonos makes I’d have no 
problem dropping $400 or $500 on it.

Hi,

I’d read rumors earlier in the year that they might bring out a smaller “core 
sub” as it was referred to and if they did that I’d so be first in line to do 
it.  I thought about the now seemingly older sub but hesitate due to its hefty 
weight and the worry that I’ll buy one and then as if by magic a new updated

Ones and my beam that’s for sure.

Hi,

 

Sonos has announced their Black Friday deals, this  year you can save 20% on

Sonos offers a 30% discount onew Sonos speakers if you use the Sonos Trade-Up

existing bookshelf, tower or built-in wall or ceiling speakers and I have the

The 3 Connect Amp speakers I am using now at my retail store where each Amp

RE: Audible on Apple Watch

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I have totally given up on listening to Audible on my Apple Watch. You can only 
do so via a Bluetooth headset and I guess if you were the kind of person who 
would want to listen while out for a run where you don’t want to bring your 
iPhone I can understand how you would want to do so. But if you mostly have y 
our iPhone nearby I simply see no reason to bother to wait forever until a book 
transfers to the watch. If I could listen via the built-in speaker it would be 
different because I could then listen at night at low volume with my wrist near 
my head/ear without disturbing my wife and I’d like that instead of using a 
headset in bed.

Hi Marie,

I know there's been an update in the last week or so. Maybe you got it already. 
I would say, set up the transfer, and leave your watch connected to power for a

at night.

Hi Debbie,

 

Does your phone have Face ID? If so, there's a setting which makes the phone 
respond differently in some situations if you are looking at it than if you 
aren't. You may have that setting on. In Accessibility Settings, there's an 
Attention feature that determines whether this is the case.

 

Best,

Anna

Hi,

 

This is kind of weird but I’ve got notifications set to speak on the lock 
screen but when my phone is in my pocket, I get the notification sounder but in 
order for the notification to be spoken, I have to take the phone out of my 
pocket!

 

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, do you have any suggestions for 
fixing this? Is there a setting under motion perhaps that is causing this?

 

Thanks!

 

Debbie

RE: Issue with making phone calls via Siri voice command

If a regular reboot doesn’t fix this I would try a Reset Network Setting.

Please, anyone with this issue write and/or call Apple Accessibility.
As a last resort, you might try turning off Siri, reboot the phone, Turn Siri 
back on and see if that helps.
If it does, write those steps to Apple.
Something is truly screwed with Siri lately.
I chose to sensor myself in that last statement.

I’ve seen that problem from time to time, but usually, it comes in conjunction

problem, even though I had a perfectly good connection to the Internet. Never 
seen this in isolation.

   Hello list,

   So for the past few days, I’ve been experiencing an odd issue on my iPhone 
SE running iOS 13.2.3 . For some reason, I am unable to initiate phone calls 
via Siri. Be it with a direct command to dial XXX or call so and so. Same goes 
if I want to tell Siri to make a call via Google Voice with the new Siri 
command integration Google recently introduced. It did work fine up until this 
problem.

   I’ve changed nothing in my Siri permissions or any other settings and Siri 
otherwise works perfectly fine. Dictation, asking questions, etc. Also, I can 
make calls if I manually punch in the number. It’s just when I try telling Siri 
to make a call, I’ll get this weird hanging behavior to please wait… Just a 
minute until it times out and  am told that sorry, can’t establish a 
connection. I have tried restarting the phone too, but no dice. Once or twice, 
I was able to make a call, but that was the rare exception.

   This phone’s on Ting which is  a GSM/CDMA MVNO. The phone itself is an 
unlocked GSM model.

   Anyone else come across this behavior? Any ideas on a solution?

   Thanks,

   Cristóbal

Hi Marie, 

I know there's been an update in the last week or so. Maybe you got it already. 
I would say, set up the transfer, and leave your watch connected to power for a 
long time. Maybe set up the transfer before you put your watch on the charger 
at night.

Best,
Anna

Notifications when the phone is in my pocket

[Debbie Downey]

Hi,

 

This is kind of weird but I've got notifications set to speak on the lock
screen but when my phone is in my pocket, I get the notification sounder but
in order for the notification to be spoken, I have to take the phone out of
my pocket!

 

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, do you have any suggestions for
fixing this? Is there a setting under motion perhaps that is causing this?

 

Thanks!

 

Debbie
