      @pavel-samokha great hint. 👍 I had the same issue. Restarting both my SR and Sony Xperia 5iii helped to solve it. Now I’m able to control music via SR again.

        @VladoD It’s some kind of problem with music permissions on your phone.
        I guess this problem started after one of the SuuntoApp or Android updates.
        Restoring these settings for SuuntoApp or restarting the phone helps.

          I’m having problems with my media controls since the last update. I can see what’s playing, but I can’t use the controls neither with the touch screen nor with the buttons. I already tried unparing my watch and paring it again. Anyone has the same problem?

          Mismo problema

              Same problem here. I thought the other day I had understood why it was greyed… But it’s actually apparently not the only factor.

              For sure one factor: you can’t have your watch in “Eco” mode.

              But for few days now I can’t control media anymore even without that the ECO mode active.

                  A phone (Samsung S23) restart has fixed the situation this morning for me.

                    I’ve noticed the same issue several times, I agree that it’s something related to the app (I’m on Android with a pixel 7).

                    For what it’s worth, the fastest work-around I’ve found is to long press on the Suunto app to bring up it’s system options, select app info and then force stop the app and re-open it. That seems to resolve the issue and takes less time than restarting your phone.
