gerasimos

@azeanic same to me S9 non baro (last updates)
cycling in mountain - during activity i press pause to rest - after two-three minute black screen.…press any button no response …only click sounds
-soft reset and now works perfect. (until now)
my activity saved automatically !
-nothing like this has ever happened before
I do not know if I should do or is necessary hard reset to be sure it will not happen again during activity or soft reset solve the problem, fortunately it was a training and not a race…

@gerasimos
I would wait with a hard reset and send logs first (plus mailaddress and time logs have been sent)

gerasimos

@gerasimos
Let’s ask @isazi , I think you need to send a PM to a moderator, but I might be wrong…

isazi

@gerasimos if you sent logs very soon after this happened, send me a PM with the time you sent the logs, and the email of your account. I can then fill in a bug report with Suunto.

@freeheeler @isazi thanks

I had a slightly presentation of what I suspect is the same issue. my watch froze on the media controls screen when in an activity with suunto plus feature climb turned on. the hr monitor was still on so I thought it hadn’t fully crashed. I went to reset the watch by holding upper right button but instead it paused the activity and I was able to repress same button and from then on the watch was fine in the activity all data still there and no issues.

Hi all,
same happened to me today. During swim session. I had my structured swim workout loaded as SuuntoPlus Guide via TrainingPeaks. Each and every interval was marked as “Press button to continue”. When I was changing from second to third interval, my screen went black and did not recover. However, I knew that activity is still being recorded, so I continued and finished swimming as planned. When I pressed the pause and finish buttons, suddenly, screen came back and I could see summary of my finished workout. When watch returned to normal watch mode I realized that it goes repeatedly to blank screen after few minutes (one or two) and the only way how to wake the screen up is to press any button.
To make long story short. I sent the logs via Suuntolink to Suunto already. @isazi, here is the ID: 225830606300. Logs were sent today at 17:20 CET (cca). So, if you are so kind and create/update ticket for this issue.

Thanks!

isazi

@zadow I will. Are you sure you were not using a custom battery mode that turns off the screen?

I also need the firmware version used.

zadow

@isazi I am sure, I am using this sport mode for some time now and have my swim session every other day. I have never experienced this before. Today was the first time.

@isazi said in S9 Screen "blanks out" during runs:

I also need the firmware version used.

I have the latest official FW: 2.20.30

isazi

@zadow filled in a bug report with Suunto, will let you know.

@isazi now I can finaly restart my watch as I need also to do my planned cycling session today
