With version 2.44.52 of the firmware the watch does not vibrate after a successful compass calibration, it plays a sound instead. Also, at least from my experience, unintended calibrations are (almost) non-existent. Here is link to that version, in case it might be useful for your experimentations or if someone wants to downgrade to it. I never updated past this version as it was very stable for my needs and I remember later ones introduced the backlight-related problems, the vibrations, battery drain for some, etc. To be fair, I fave not actively used my 9PP since the end of November 2025.

@homac what insight does blood oxygen measurement give you? In my opinion, it is just as useless as step count. Maybe with the exception of people going to high altitudes.

Anyone found a solution for this? Im a bit over Suunto 9pp, my Spartan 5 years ago was bulletproof. Had one replacement already 2 years ago and cannot be bothered to go through that process again.

Im also stuck in the two week loop of doom. Not very good with tevh, bur fine through with the hard reset and re install of both the app and New connection between my devices. But still no sync to watch of my plan beta… Help

@ESegerer I can understand that’s a reasonable design decision. There do seem to be some inconsistencies though. For example, if I start an exercise, go to Exercise Options and turn off GPS this setting is remembered next time. So, next time I do the exercise I might forget I turned it off. Turning off GPS (maybe to save battery!) seems to me to be a more fundamental change than battery mode. Maybe there’s a good reason. (This is Vertical 2 not 9PP)

@The_77 Moreover, the field on custom screen show distance to end of the route, not to next POI / Waypoint as set in field configuration.

@Redpillar Long time I do not repair/pair my watch but you do all the proces and then you have to enter/confirm the code that apears in the watch not a generic code.

@Tamás-Tompa Happening to my still several times in the past few weeks. Support have advised to follow the soft reset process - I have suggested a firmware update is necessary in order to resolve fully. FW version : 2.50.28

@Squirrel completly forgot about that one, indeed

@duffman19 So I tried first with a short stretching activity. Delete from SA, log out of SA, login again, resync and it showed the activity again. However. doing so with my long run, seems to not resync although it’s still on the watch (at least showing on the watch. I noticed. Daily HR, steps, resources are all in SA including the activity time. But GPS and activity stats are not. Would be great to ad Fit/json manualy Back into SA. That’s possible? Is it possible json and fit files are deleted if you uninstal SA?? Would be an explanation I can’t find them on my phone anymore.

@Elipsus No problem. Soft and factory reset did not fix the issue. I will charge the watch up to 100%.

To add to this one, I have the lovely death of HR experience today. See below: [image: 1786859596217-screenshot_20260816-074727.png] [image: 1786859596253-screenshot_20260816-074744.png] I sent logs of course, latest firmware. But somewhat perturbed that this is the end firmware for the watch and this happens. Resources is also stuck at 70%, despite being at 10% before the night. So I suspect a reboot or something is involved?

During last 6 months my S9PP stopped HR moritoring / sleep tracking, so this is somehow related to last sw update as noticed already. Earlier this happened only once a month and always in the middle of the month, 17th-19th of the month. Now in August this was getting worst, 2 times in the beginning of the month and now again on last night (14.8)

@paul28 I recently started using the suunto+ stryd app on my race s and was puzzled why I sometimes see groundcontacttime and other metrics beside power and sometimes only power. Now I know. I also have the problem that my heartrate sensor looses connection with my watch and doesn’t reconnect. That’s going on for over half a year and no solution in sight. There might be a next firmware update which might arrive in august but that will not contain a fix. And a firmware after that? I really doubt it. I will report this to suunto support to keep the pressure on.

@duffman19 I have just got a Suunto 9 Peak Pro and confused by the contrary mode, I’ve just suggested to Support they have a simple light/dark mode option which would work for everyone. I did a downgrade to original firmware as a test and did like the old colour options on light background a lot
