Not sure why but suddenly after 6 days of getting on fine with the pod and the stick, the sofi stick won’t connect to the app

Is the battery still working ? If so try to log out of the app and log back in, usually works for me when we had this issue

Okay turns out it was the battery but I had only changed it 6 days ago and it seems to of run out of charge in that short space of time

I believe the sofi stick pings the app something rather intense like 2 times per second, and so by the roughly 1.7million ‘pings’ mark (6-10) days it is spent.
@Vincent’s suggestion to remove the batteries after use each time isn’t a bad idea (it takes less than 30 seconds with use of a chopstick or pen 
) or I even remember @dizzypuss made a brilliant hack for blocking the battery connection effortlessly after use. I’ll attach the link to her thread below!

Hopefully this will become a charming feature of the first two builds of the sofi stick, as the current S3 sofi sticks in development and production will have rechargeable USB C lithium cells so no more batteries!
