      @jjpaz This is nearly normal, isn‘t it? With about 10h of activity. Or do you think consomption is still too high?

        My personal workaround while we wait for a fix is: if you use navigation just reboot your watch at the end, after syncing the activity with your phone.

        This is my personal view, nothing from Suunto

        I managed to send logs to Suunto and hope a fix for this will be included in the next firmware. I also believe it is not the GPS but the storage that is kept active, GPS would give an even larger battery consumption. No confirmation from Suunto yet. I try to keep the forum informed as much as I can 🙂

          @isazi Did you manage to reproduce the behaviour yesterday with the debug firmware watch?

            @surfboomerang yes, I went out for a lunch walk to collect vegetables in our garden, and it was enough to trigger the issue.

                  @SuperFlo75 Yes, it seems normal to me or a little bit higher. Before the update I was charching the battery every 17-18 days when battery reached ~15-20%, so around 4-4.5% consumption every day. Now it seems nearer 5% but could be for many reasons.

                      copying it here for those who cannot read it:

                      I have had a problem with fast battery drain in watch mode. I contacted the Suunto support chat and they gave me this solution that seems to work. Battery drain is back to 3%/24h. It was up to 7-8%. 
                      1. Place the watch on the charger and press and hold the upper button for 60sec to reboot the watch (I did not know this reboot option existed). 
                      2. After reboot do an ordinary soft reset by pressning the upper button for 12sec (watch not on the charger).  
                      No data or settings will be lost.

                          I am having the same issue and it is pretty annoying. I believe it appeared after the July 3rd update (v2.35.34)

                            @surfboomerang what you are describing happened to me twice already since latest update with the drainage, and the jurky touchscreen… Seems that is part of the issue. related at least to the drainage issue?

                            Now that one of the tester experienced the bug as well, I am even more confident about a coming fixe!

                            Thank-you all for sharing, we had lots of feedbacks lately, I am felling much less alone. and this bug is pretty much spread-out, depending of the usage I guess…I am a strong user of maps, daiky track activities.
                            may be related to the memory usage… back end process that is not turn off correctly after some activities with gps and navigation on…

                            the only workaround for now is the soft reset after synch with the phone last activity. worked for me, but definitely for the short term, the fix is required…

                            thanks 🙏

                              My touchscreen got also stuck. Last time was maybe month ago. Before it started working after half an hour by itself but now it’s just stuck. Not totally stuck though.

                              It looks like there is ”ghost” press on screen. Lower left area can be pressed and get some kind of response but it’s like two points are pressed at once and scrolling is irrational causing watchface getting stuck.IMG_8515.jpeg
                              Battery drain has been 12% per day without screen problem.

                                @Jugger This happens once in while on my watch too. For now it was only after a running session which made me to think that sweat freaked out the touch screen and eventually the software. Because even after cleaning the screen, the touchscreen still acted weird and jerky.

                                This was before I realised that I don’t have touch enabled during my running sessions 😄
                                So for now it remains unclear to me what causes this. I’m also unable to reproduce the issue.

                                For now it looks unrelated to the battery drain issue which seems to be caused by navigating a route.

                                  Today I lost 6% in 24h after a soft reset without any activities (far from the normal 2,5% before the update).

                                    Can confirm that my Vertical - after competely drained battery / recalibration - looses batter much faster than before. Total time is now 1,5 weeks maximum, and the drop after reaching 50% is significantly bigger.
                                    I at first could not explain what happened so I am.really thankful about the 50%-hint, which I was not able to grasp and identify on my own. So: thank you community!
                                    And … I am totally ready for a real fix, because battery time is now roughly on the level of my Suunto 9 … and GPS-quality usually is, too … it really got worse (noticeable especially when running on a track)

                                      I do believe this is the case as well. i did soft reset this morning. and I am 6% lower tonight. almost 1% an hour i did a run about 1.30 hours though.

                                        @Jugger For me the touchscreen bug happens when I check TSS in detail. In 75 % of the cases the screen becomes unusable and I have to use buttons. It later resolves itself but seems at least for me unrelated to battery drain bug because it happened to me even before the update. Now it seems to coincide with the battery bug but not necessarily triggers it.

                                          You are also correct, and Suunto is aware of that.

                                            Is it known what triggers this “smaller one”?
