SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.33.12 - Q1 2024

[Durri]

I have created a new gravel cycling profile. I set up a notification of the distance traveled every 5 km. The watch won’t show me the average speed when notified. When I use the preset gravel mode it works. Does anyone have a similar experience?

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Durri I think the contents of such notification are different per sport. You can set a screen with laps and populate them with different info, whatever you need.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel
i was just questionning myself, no judgment.
It was an option, it was remembered, it is not anymore, it is not nice, it is a “bug”.
Then, it is just few clicks to remove it, and “remove it each time” is the definition of a nuisance I got it

Thanks for „spelling it out“. I think what you posted is a user story that would allow the Suunto devs to add it to a test suite or check list that a new FW needs to pass. I would love to know how advanced Suunto is on this aspect. I know myself that it is easy to break software but I am supported by a test suite so that my users are not my beta testers. (Things can still go wrong because the way humans use things varies, but I save my users a lot of grief with my test suite.)

@Mauerwegler
Suunto has field testers

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Mauerwegler Suunto knows various stories and there were issues reported by the testers that didn’t get fixed prior to the release.

Apparently it goes beyond “they didn’t know” and certain issues may as well be flagged as of little importance or no importance. Or may be as well be a feature instead of a bug. For example - the nag I’ve reported in S5 in regards to being stationary and having no compass - it was badly implemented in my opinion, but might have been left in the firmware intentionally, as maybe most users didn’t understand that the direction won’t update when stationary (although I’d argue that if one owns such device, it’s not necessary to display the message every time). Or the buzzing in S9PP - I’ll be surprised if it ever gets addressed.

There are priorities and company priorities are different than mine or yours.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel Lukasz hello, I think you are wrong. I had a Suunto 9 baro where I created my own cycling profiles and it was never a problem. Every time after driving 5 km, I received information about how long it took me to drive plus the average speed. In S.Race it only works in predefined profiles in the watch. When you create your own cycling profile, the average speed is missing.

[Zdeněk Hruška]

@Durri Hi, maybe I am wrong but I think that the reason is that it works as a mode with a power input (or at least it’s expecting that you have an powermeter connected). That’t why you have an average power field in there. I am not sure how to change it, do you have a powermeter connected to the watch? Maybe it would need to be disabled before the activity starts… I will check it.

@wmichi My version of same:

Touchscreen unresponsive on first activity after update. Toggling relevant controls proved futile.

A soft reset fixed it. So far …

I had the same twice. I have the SV since 20th of February, that day I did install everything and so on, my first run was on the 21st, and I noticed that the touchscreen was unresponsive after the activity but after some minutes the touchscreen started to work normally again, but after the second activity it failed again. I did a softreset and everything started to work perfectly, initially I thought the issue was due all the installations in the new watch. But last week it failed again (with the new software) and I had to perform a softreset. Yesterday I had the feeling that the touchscreen was failing again dismissing an alarm but after one or two tries it worked fine.

If it happens again I will send logs.

Maybe son field tester can confirm if Suunto is aware of the issue.

@cosme-costa
I didn’t notice unresponsive touch with my private Vertical which runs the official released firmware 2.33.12

@Zdeněk-Hruška we can’t change what fields are shown on the autolap screens, neither manual laps.
I agree with you, I haven’t done cycling in a while but for running, when I use an external power meter (Stryd) the autolap screen shows me the lap avg power as in @Durri picture above.
When I use don’t the power meter , say I select foot pod instead, I get Lap. avg heart rate.

In any case, if @Durri didn’t connect a power meter on his ride, sounds to me this could be a bug on his custom gravel cycling mode.

[Durri]

@herlas yes, I don’t have a power meter, and it should show the average speed. As I already wrote, I didn’t have to solve anything on the S9B when creating my own cycling profile, AVG Speed ​​was displayed…️Something is obviously wrong here

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Durri wouldn’t a custom sports mode with a lap summary where you can set the fields you need be a workaround for you?

[Durri]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel No, because if it worked before, it must work now️

@Francesco-Pagano
it is just the way such sensors are working : light emission (LED) and a sensor which tries to see the reflected light from the support.
Light is on only when the sensor think that there is any reflected light to analyze : from skin (logic) but from any potential reflecting support (try with a banana )

it is even not the contact, but just near enough to see any reflection

Today, the touch screen was blocked again. Unable to use it. I switched off the vertical and restart to fix the problem. So not resolved with this FW update.

[Sergei Ladeishchikov]

I’m having problems too! Today the touchscreen froze, I clicked on the data field many times and nothing happened, and then the field began to switch data on its own. I also couldn’t access widgets using the touchscreen.

I’ve also experienced this several times. The touchscreen seems to experience repeated “phantom touches.” I managed to grab a video of the behavior.

Not sure if this is related to the software update, but it’s only happened while on 2.33.12.

[sartoric]

@duffman19
yeah, I had this today too.
Never happened before.

[freeheeler]

@duffman19
I’ll report this

[freeheeler]

@duffman19
next time this happens, please send logs and pm me your account email, date, time and timezone logs sent.
thank you in advance
