SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.19.42 January 27, 2022

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

I did a short run after the update with S5 and the new ascent / descent algo seems to work really nicely. Apart from absurd climb at the beginning of workout (I should have waited a little longer for proper fix) it measured altitude really nicely.

It seems that there’s some filtering being applied in time domain, so it needs some time to be “certain” if the altitude has changed.

Unsurprisingly it doesn’t work well when signal degrades ie next to tall buildings and it produces false data. But hey, it used to do so anyway but it didn’t count the real difference in altitude so after all I’d call it a nicely done update.

Still no option to globally disable the OHR on S9B in v2.19.42

[surfboomerang]

@sneakernet I don’t think that option will ever return.
In one of the first firmware versions the HR setting was remembered per sport mode. In a later firmware version they changed the option to enable HR by default for a lot of sports. If you disable it, it is on the next time you do the same sport.

tbh, I liked the setting saved per sport mode a lot better.

After this update, I have a problem with “Sports Mode Customization” menu.
It is not updated and stuck in the “Updating” status.

I’ve tried soft reset of my s9p but in vein.
Should I do a hard reset? Is there any other solution?

@soojong-moon also tried to kill the application or restart the phone?
And can you still select the sport modes in the watch or does the watch crash if you select one of them?

[DMytro]

Oh, btw update enabled autolap on my walking activity for some reason.

@łukasz-szmigiel there is an initial threshold you must pass (7 meters for non Baro and 3 meters for Baro devices) and then every meter counts. Check Joaquin’s video on YouTube. It’s very well expand (activate CC if you don’t speak Spanish)

@suzzlo
I understood this was revised, wasn’t it?

Edit: crazy, now I understand. The threshold we used to know turned into a safety margin! nice one

So i woke up with a message I think stated that tje watch was usnble to get spo2 measurment. The watch time was one hour behind and couldn’t connect to the app. I powered it off and on and then it had reverted to an old FW. I had to reconnect it to the phone and app.

[Patrick Löffler]

I have updated my Peak yesterday afternoon. Everything worked well. Then during the night the watch somehow tried again to do the already successful update. It changed the time. I nearly missed missed my important wake up. The watch didn’t connect. I had to totally set it back to factory settings. The watch is now back to the old firmware. And the app doesn’t show the new one anymore. What’s going on?

[Patrick Löffler]

@richard-thygesen Yes I had the exact same behavior.

[Richard Thygesen]

@patrick-löffler and my watched might have had the same message I’m not sure becasue my eyesight is terrible and I just pressed ok on the message.

[A Former User]

@patrick-löffler same behavior with me, very strange

[surfboomerang]

@richard-thygesen Can’t confirm it. My S9P survived the night.
I don’t have sleep tracking enabled however

[Patrick Löffler]

@surfboomerang that’s interesting. Just to add more information. I have sleep tracking enabled and I also enabled the blood oxygen tracking.

[Richard Thygesen]

@patrick-löffler I also have all that activated.

[HankWang]

@patrick-löffler Same here. It rolled back to the previous FW and won’t be able to find the new version anymore.

[surfboomerang]

@richard-thygesen does the watch think it is up-to-date
If you go into settings->general->software update?

[Richard Thygesen]

@surfboomerang yes it does.
