![]() I was looking to extend the Sonos equipment I own and add the Sonos Connect and a Play:3. We want the dream of using our Android, or indeed Windows (other OS's are available), phones and be able to enjoy the same levels of Service and Functionality that iDevices do! Please Sonos make my dream a reality? I am sorely disappointed in Sonos after this update. Sonos I ask you this did iOS users have to be invited to "add their support" to the idea of playing music directly from their devices? NO!!! Why would they? It should be and is an inherent feature for them! Imagine if you will.You want to buy a music app and a streaming music speakers system? After hefty research, you choose Sonos as everyone says "they're the best", you install and set it all up, you're excited now! You fire the app up and hey presto your music stored on your device is there and you sit back and enjoy the music.oh wait I must've been dreaming I had an iDevice because my reality was "oh wait how come I can't see my music?!? Sonos please wake up and realise that the world is free to choose the OS it has on their phones and not all of us want or care to own an iDevice. I thought "oh well, they've just not highlighted it?" but it's bound to be there, right? WRONG!!! It seems that Android users have to vote to allow this feature, which is fundamental for a music service, so is just ridiculous. I was hopeful, I opened the mail, read the detail and noticed it didn't mention the "Play music direct from music stored on Android devices". So I got my notification that there was to be an update to the Sonos App for Android along with system updates. *Note I have a PLAY:3 & PLAY:5 and tested with both Known devices that work Asus Transformer Prime TF201 (Version 4.1.1) Native Music App HTC One XL (Telstra) (Version 4.1.1) Native Music App Sony Xperia P (Version 4.0.4) Walkman App This is either a glitch, or something that can be taken advantage of. Something interesting also, for the devices which can stream to the PLAY:3 or PLAY:5 the SONOS app is not required. Please help or leave me a sympathy response to ease my frustration…seriously.You can with stream from Android, direct to PLAY:3 & PLAY:5's but depends on revision of software, customisation, company So far I can confirm two handsets as have played and tested both Sony Xperia P Handset (4.04) using the Walkman App does stream direct (I would be safe to assume that the all Xperia's in the new line will as well, unless things change) HTC One XL (4.1.1) using the Native Music Player App also streams with no issue Samsung & Motorola Handsets is currently and unconfirmed, if someone can test that would be amazing One thing also is that it only allows for one stream at any one time, not multiple streams like iOS as the stream actually is managed via the SONOS app itself rather than the native iOS Music Player App Wilson Law ![]() What is going on? Anyone else having this issue or might know how to fix this? I’m sure out of ideas of resetting/rebooting this thing here. Now, I log onto the default 192.168.1.100 address for the hard drive to access *TWONKY Media Server* and it Google Chrome says Opps, can’t find 192.168.1.100 : 9000. Go thru the paces above to get it working again. This morning, I turned on my PC…Mapped Hard drives are longer visible. So I shut down my computer and let the Network Storage do it’s jazz all night on my closet shelf. My Twonky Media was working last night processing all the files for the media database stuff. Since I have yet to see a post or link to any older firmware, I’ll have to resort to figuring out a solution. This issue DID NOT happen AT ALL on FW 1.02.06 (aside from a few rare network outages on other 3rd party devices). The fix was to turn off/on the *My Book-1TB* system and re-map all the drives yet again. However, everytime I restart my computer or shut it down and come back it just doesn’t want to recognize it anymore. Using the WD Discovery Software, I can map my drives and that seems to work fine.WD MyBook World Edition 1TB fw 1.02.10 updated 2 days ago. I am having the same issues as everyone else as of late. I’ve updated to the new firmware 1.02.10.
