      @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.

        And another smaller one in mere watch use without activities.

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

          Is it known what triggers this “smaller one”?

              The drain battery issue in my case, with the 9PP, is when I’m wearing it.

              I usually only use the Suunto during sports activities. And there I don’t have battery problems. Not even when I leave it in the drawer until the next time (about 2-3%). The thing gets crooked, however, when it’s still on my wrist. There it begins to waste battery toooooo fast.

              For example, yesterday I rode a bike for about an hour (with active touchscreen and route navigation) and the consumption was 2%. Then it continued on my wrist (no notifications, with turn and light high and continuous hr) and there the thing got about 1% per hour (12% in total). I don’t particularly see it as a normal battery drain.

              I don’t know if the problem is in the turn and light high mode or what. I also don’t know if this is the ones you are referring to for the SV and SR. But be that as it may, I wanted to expose my case in case it would help.

                .

                Try to reboot the watch after an activity with route navigation.
                One of the suspicious triggers of the issue is the route navigation, so that could explain you problem.

                  can someone confirm that the hard reset solves the battery problem?

                    it seems not. You will just loose your data and customizations.

                      @gerasimos did work at first for me… until I install the offline maps.

                      so it is related to memory, backend process being Triggered either by complications? navigations? Gps?

                      a soft reset should be enough, even if in my case i trigger very easily the drainage issue. still dont know what exactly.

                      looking forward of the fix by Suunto. now that Enduro 3 is out, i want my suunto vertical to work at full potential to confirm my choice.

                      thank you, we will get through this one soon !

                          While waiting for Suunto to fix the issue, I use the watch only for workouts. In the meantime, I turn it off and put it away. In this way, I avoid frequent recharging, as the watch behaves normally after each startup for two days. Here is my temporary solution.

                            Do we know if a hotfix will be released soon ? With more than 400 posts it seems to be a real problem for a 65h autonomy watch…

                              among those 400 posts there are some hints, and the latest info is “in a couple of weeks”.
                              just wait and enjoy activities, and charge our watches just a couple of times more

                                and 65h is autonomy in activity, which seems not to be impacted (as far as i understand or experienced).
                                You may also try this so unofficial workaround after each activity (it doesn’t consume that much personnal time and may let us wait (if it works for everyone)).

                                  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 🙂

                                  Same to turn-off Suunto Vertical using general parametrers and to turn-on again i guess ?

                                      At the control panel we find the battery percentage. It would be great an update to include more info, like a widget or simple click on battery percentage icon to present:

                                      • current %
                                      • last time it was recharged
                                      • % when last recharged was initiated
                                      • % when last recharged was ended
                                      • a prediction when next recharge will be required, based on drain for a selectable period (3 days, week, month).
                                      • draining graph using recharging date x %.

                                      This would help us to detect draining activities or functions.

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

                                        @isazi Maybe a lead for the small drain :

                                        Two days ago I got the old synchronization bug on my android beta Suunto app (your watch is no longer found and when you try to pair again then the app fails).
                                        To solve it I know I have to wipe out the data and cache of the app ( did it from android setting menu), then I have to login again and pair my vertical again.
                                        It works with a little surprise, no more small drain bug : in 48h with one 50 min trail activity the vertical just lost 4% ! (from 85% to 81%).
                                        I did nothing else since my last drain (no reset and no full battery cycle, no solar charge).
                                        So maybe the Bluetooth could be responsible of the small drain ?

                                        Hope it can help.

                                          @Kramble I had something similar this morning.

                                          Touch screen unresponsive, would not sync to the Suunto app, battery dropped about 26% overnight and wouldn’t pair even after restarting the Vertical.
                                          1000122084.jpg

                                          Had to clear the cache and reset the app. Now I have 11 exercise days synced for 2024, nothing pervious dating back to 2019🤔🤣

                                            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 🙂

                                            I used navigation yesterday and today battery drop from 46% to 41% in 9 hours. Only time is displayed today.
                                            I will try your workaround.
                                            I have juste sent logs to Suunto.
