SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.33.12 - Q1 2024

The CTL has started to “drift” by one unit lower on the watch on the start of every day, but it gets fixed on the second sync, the first sync almost never does the trick. I am on the Vertical.

@mlakis I noticed the same. My first « guess » was that the watch was calculating an updated CTL even if not synchronized with SA.

@mlakis I would also guess that the app does the calculation on its own, but also gets the numbers from the app/backend via sync. And since the backend is the single source of truth, whatever is calculated locally gets overwritten. But it’ s interesting, that this happens on the second sync. Maybe there’s an async calculation process on the backend involved, which is not done at the first sync of the day or triggered by the first sync of the day. Either way, I am happy that the numbers on the watch are finally correct

Hello,
A question on sleep tracking (in Suunto App):
Is “veille” (in french) for non-sleep/wake-up duration ?
Thanks

I just tried biking (Race on the suunto Bike mount) with Always on display enabled. Navigation is unusable, it is fine when display is bright, but it dims in 10s and it is almost impossible to see even in shadows. On the direct sunlight it is invisible. I had to click watch every time I wanted to navigate my route. This is really terrible and it needs to be fixed asap.

I don’t noticed so much issues about it, but i’m glad to have it, for the new watch faces and all the new fixes…
And especially now my s9pp notifys and displays me back again when the watch reach the lower power limits.
It was broken in the last firmware.

I had one time a “strange” notification on the watch that I never had before. The watch noticed me that I was seatdown too long, more than 2 hours…
quite interesting, I find it good, but I ask me where are the settings of it, to be able to change something (time, enable/disable I don’t know what else…)

@cemoi71
did you check the manual?

cemoi71

@sartoric I’ve checked it yes, but didn’t have look deeper inside in place that you’ve pointed.
In french it is translated in form that we could interpret it as “wake-up” too.
Which it don’t lead me to think that is could handle on the movement by seating too.
Only a thinking point of view…
Many thanks for having pointed to me

<sarcasm-on> Love this new always-on “breadcrumbs” option on my 9PP <sarcasm-off/>

Joking aside, another firmware update brought new regression bugs. It isn’t surprising, is it? If we read this thread we can see people once again are complaining about very basic use cases - dark screen while biking, useless airplane mode from the widget, breadcrumbs etc. It looks like Suunto doesn’t care about software QA at all and it’s very very sad.

It’s to avoid getting lost while track running…

Yeah, this new always-on “breadcrumbs” option on the 9PP is not cool at all.

@false Regression in sw development unfortunately can happen, the real problem is waiting months for patching when regression seriously impairs usage. Always-on breadcrumb is only nuisance imo.

Dušan Ković

Does anyone has any info on bugfix update for bunch of problems that users are encountering?

Thanks

what is always on breadcrumbs, please ?
is it the capability to remove the breadcrumb screen ? I just tested with my wife’s S9PP and it is still possible with activity navigation option. Am i confusing things ?

@Mff73 The navigation option is not remembered once set to another value

For sure, but I am, but actually “we are”, talking about extremely basic scenarios and not even an edge cases (i.e “push this button 3 times then push that button 4 times then turn around and get a bug”)

Always-on breadcrumb is only nuisance imo.

Yes, it is, but, imo, such easily reproducing bugs (one button push away from a user) must be eliminated before rolling a release. Really, I can’t believe. All in all, Suunto isn’t a small indie dev company that can afford to neglect such matters.

PS: especially when users have to wait for months till next firmware update

unfortunately, until they discover the problem, there is nothing they can do, and rehashing the same concerns does not help them. if you do not tolerate this, you know the solution…

Yes, make it open-source

@Mff73 Now, by default, when we start an gps activity, the breadcumb screen is always activated. Of course, you can deactivate it before starting the activity. But it doesn’t save the settings for the next one. It’s not a big problem but it can be a bit of a nuisance.

Mff73

@enriqueescoms
Ah OK.
Any one has its own level of nuisance tolerance.
