Faulty Recording

@HurricaneWeasel this shoes that gps was not on

[HurricaneWeasel]

@Egika Firmware is up to date.

[HurricaneWeasel]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos GPS and heart rate was green, when i started. Screen turned of a few seconds after start, as expected. There was nothing unusual.

[isazi]

@HurricaneWeasel screen turned off a few seconds after start? Are you using some special battery mode?

[HurricaneWeasel]

@isazi Yes. I don’t need the screen while running. I know the way.

@HurricaneWeasel
The question was ,did you use any specific battery power management.

Please test it again with performance battery mode.

[HurricaneWeasel]

@zhang965 That would not be helpful. I ran today with the same settings and it worked fine. That error occurred 2 times in 187 runs. Even if the error does not occur with changed power settings, the power settings still would not be as I need them to be.

[taziden]

@HurricaneWeasel yes, but knowing exactly which setting you were using can help troubleshoot and fix the issue

[Steven Limmer]

@HurricaneWeasel This happened me not too long ago. Were you using an app (i.e. structured workout)? And if YES, did you have auto-pause selected?

If YES to both, would suggest disabling autopause.

@HurricaneWeasel A second possible issue is something is wrong with your custom sport mode, I would try deleting and set up another. Perhaps use a default mode and see it the GPS failure happens as well,

[HurricaneWeasel]

@taziden
GPS accuracy = best
Display timeout = 10 sec.
Touch = disabled

[HurricaneWeasel]

@Steven-Limmer
No app, Autopause is on

[HurricaneWeasel]

@Brad_Olwin
No custom sport mode - plain running

[HurricaneWeasel]

@HurricaneWeasel
Settings
Guides = none
Sport Apps = none
Intensity Zones = HR hones
Target = no Target
Navigation = off
Intervalls = off
Backlight = Normal
GPS = on
Wrist HR = on
Battery mode = custom (see above)
Theme = dark
Autolap = off
Autopause = on
Feeling = off

[Steven Limmer]

@HurricaneWeasel I’ve turned mine off altogether. I don’t need it for running, and it’s slow. It completely lost a workout I did a few months ago.

[HurricaneWeasel]

Thank you all for trying to help me. This is much appreciated.

[HurricaneWeasel]

@Steven-Limmer
That is frustrating. 🤨 Sadly I do like the setting, as I sometimes have to wait at Intersections. The auto pause has to work much more, when I drive my bike to work (multiple lights, I have to wait at). Never lost a workout there.

[isazi]

@HurricaneWeasel it is possible that a new firmware will be release soon, so I would wait for that, and if something happens with the new firmware, we can send a bug report to Suunto.

[HurricaneWeasel]

@isazi Ok, thank you.

Just one question… Was the battery near empty? I mean, when you’re are below a concrete number 10%?, the watch enters in a “save battery mode” and then less data is collected
