      Since the large software update earlier this year (which annoying reset lots of my custom settings) I am now also getting dreadful battery drain. Typically 10% per day. Before the update I could go a month between charge (in idle) but now I need to recharge every week. Any ideas please? I read of a hit fix coming soon. Is this happening soon?

        @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos i was just playing around. But both times i definitely did :

        • changed the S+
        • entered the write HR setting (enabled/disabled)
        • went all the way down to the last item

            When will the hotfix come?
            I wear my Vertical only for exercise.
            This week, my watch did nog use for 3 days…watch lay on a table and i saw a battery drain of 30%!

            Hope that a hotfix will solve this problem!

            Soft reset solves the problem - hold upper button for 12 seconds

            Always carry a flaggon of whiskey for snakebite; and furthermore, always carry a small snake.

            User of pretty much every watch since the Ambit 3 Peak. Now back in the family w SV :)

              This is not a solution. It only delays the inevitable. And it also resets quite a few of the on-watch statistics like resources and the altitude and solar history charts. And it does not always work. I still sometimes see abnormal battery drain after a soft reset. And it’s terribly inconvenient if you use your watch to record several activities throughout the day.

              We’ve been a told a fix should be here by the end of September. I’ve still got my fingers crossed, but that leaves us with one more working day (unless Suunto releases updates over the weekend?). I’ve come to take any suggested timelines for releases with a (large) grain of salt.

                It solves the problem - of rapid battery drain post work out.

                By no means, is it or should it be the permanent solution. I think it’s quite clear given the direct interaction with Suunto folks in this thread and others regarding the behavior, that they are actively working on a fix

                Agreed regarding release timelines…mostly directionally correct 😄

                  @duffman19 should have come this week already, but luckily for us Suunto developers found out some more battery drain issue and are trying to fix them too, so delayed to next week.

                        @Fenr1r yes, but this happened only today. Hope the developers can also reproduce that, and fix it by next week

                            ouha! it feels like it, that there are multiple RC of the drain issue. happy to see they found out various and not only one… good, now the last pattern of today reported, lets hope it will be fixed as well, as the flow is pretty much commun!

                            thank you for the update. We are almost their, i dont mind waiting a week more to be sure the hotfix is covering everything!

                            thank you!

                              @Fenr1r it may be the same thing as the developers have identified .without knowing the facts I believe it is related to what we observe by starting an activity .

                                        This should take care of some of the battery issues

                                          Of some problems related to battery drain, specifically only those related to navigation : “fixed a case where power consumption remained high after navigation”. Am I wrong, or were there other causes of the problem?
