HomePod connection issues? I’ve had the second Gen HomePod for a couple months and while it sounds great, I keep having connection issues. Mainly between my iPhone and HomePod. The HomePod wifi has full bars, it’s the same network. I’m aware that you can unplug the device and restart your phone but that’s a pain! We shouldn’t have to do that nearly every day. What the HomePod really needs is a way to force connect it and not relying on it to automatically connect. I’m a bit let down by Apple. I expected a great, smooth experience. For the record: the HomePod works fine with voice, it’s the controlling it with my phone that’s the issue. I like to use the music player screen on my phone to skip music. After all, it’s easier to tap a button than to say “hey siri. Skip” several time. All of my devices are up to date too. I don’t know what else to do but I’m tired of this not working consistently. I expect consistency from Apple. Am I missing something? I’ve done most of the troubleshooting including factory resetting the HomePod. I keep hoping they’ll update it to fix this issue but they don’t.

HomePod mini stops playing music I've tried to follow all of the other threads, but still the HomePod mini just stops playing music after 1 song (when sent from pandora on the iPhone to the HomePod ((air play)) or after it gets to a commercial (when played from the home app / or having Siri play a station). It's getting really old, and upsetting that Apple has not addressed this issue with updated. HOW do I get the HomePod Mini to continuously play music??

HomePod 2 cuts out constantly So I’ve bought a HomePod 2 and and have an iPhone 14 pro. Both are fully updated and always updated. There is some crazy insane bug with this system. So when playing music from my phone if I clear the music app from my screen the sound stops, but when I open the app then track is actually still playing. Clicking play/stop does nothing. The only way to make it play is by cueing the track forward or back and this doesn’t work all the time. Next when music app is open and phone is locked, when opening again the phone the music stops but track is still playing as above and to make it play again is the same tedious procedure. Next if music is playing and the app is not on screen when I click the music app the sounds stop and track is still playing and the same procedure to make it play. What is going on with this? It’s driving me insane. I can’t listen to an album or even one track without it cutting off constantly. This happens whether streaming or playing a file that I’ve download, and also happens no matter what sound quality settings I am using, atmos, no atmos etc. None of it makes any difference. Yet it works perfectly with my AirPod pro 2s
