SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.19.42 January 27, 2022

@mitch9 I have this since I switched from the S9B to S9P so no change for me in the last firmware

I liked the “vibrate as long as the call comes in” a lot more though. Hopefully it’s coming back in a future firmware update

@nseslija I know that you are using the default mode, so I cannot comment on that, but in my custom mode has not changed and it works as before.

This “feature” is not good and should be changed to the old version!

@mitch9
or let’s have it customizable… some like long vibration, some prefer a brief vibration

surfboomerang

@freeheeler Giving people a choice is always welcome. But it is more work for a Suunto dev I suppose.
(so less time to work on a lock button)

@surfboomerang
you’re right… we don’t want that! hope they set priorities wisely

interesting. My S9B turns on light by moving / gesture, but doesn’t turn on display. But by pressing buttons, I can turn on display. Never had this before update and first time today…

After soft reset gone… maybe only once randomly

Update is great…

@wmichi That would be nice…

@mitch9 Same here, but to me looks like it was the same before with the previous firmware 2.18

Hi,
“Ghost notifications auto cleanup 48h” - This still doesn’t work for me. What is your experience?

surfboomerang

@pavlas I’m not sure. Haven’t payed much attention to it yet.
I have only one missed call notification at the moment which would exceed the 48hrs threshold this evening. I’ll keep you informed

In my memory the call notification of the previous firmware was different? Or does it depends on SA?

Can someone give some facts? Or should I start an extra topic?

@mountainchris Hi Chris! My Suunto 9 Baro has done that a few times in the past but it hasn’t done it in a while. I think it’s something that happens every once in a while with Standby mode and Raise to Wake. I personally disabled them both because I simply don’t like the feature. However it is a nice addition in case I want to enable Raise to Wake.

S9B, up-to-date, sport mode biking (custom), S+ (variometer) running in the background (choosed the screen from time to time to look how it is working)

After an hour and two minutes moving time the recording of the activity stopped immediately and I only saw the watch face without any warning or question to save the activity. I am not sure, if the watch rebooted, because there was traffic and a small road.

I started a new activity and recognised that the autostop function does stop on a red traffic light, but did not start again. I had to press the upper button to continue.

The first part of the activity was stored and synced to Suunto app, the second part I stopped at home and it also synced to Suunto app.

I never had this before.

Since the software update, the battery of my Suunto 9 Baro is draining really fast (completely dead in less than 24hrs without exercising). Neither soft nor hard reset has helped so far. Has anyone experienced similar problems? Any suggestions?
Suunto chat support operating times are unfortunately not very user-friendly if you have to work 9 to 5.

@lukas179 Today I got my new Suunto 9 Baro Granite Blue Titanium. Turned it on (37% battery), updated to latest firmware, charged to 70%, went 2 hours cross country skiing (gps on, notifications disabled, backlight off, connected to H10, battery mode performance). The battery was down to 50%. 10% per hour is a little bit too much and far away from the advertised battery life.

Maybe the battery needs calibration after the update?

Egika

@wmichi exactly! It has always been like this after updates.
Give it a full charge so the internal energy meter can get a reference point.

markytarky

@egika never happend to me, so it’s not the case for every watch. But it may help, I hope.

Ok, not sure how it should work, but it has been more than 48 hours after the missed call notification and it still shows in the watch. Even after a sync with SA.

@lukas179 give it a full charge cycle, re-flash the firmware if the charge cycle doesn’t work. In fact with this last firmware they corrected an excessive battery drain in idle mode. With previous software and my configuration I had to recharge the watch every 5.5/6 days, with the new one 8 days has passed and I still have 20% remaining (7 hours of GPS and I expect to do one hour more this evening before I charge it).
