Software update 2.39.20 (2024 Q4)

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Sportsfreund testing. Backporting to older devices. Some more testing. And most importantly: there is no new device and firmware officially. So why would they release it prematurely? And perhaps different teams work on different branches of firmware.

Funny: https://www.suunto.com/de-at/Support/faq-articles/lifecycle/2.39.20-trouble-shooting

I think its strange to release this information now after the long time since the problems are known…

[Kraisun Tunta]

@VoiGAS I think Suunto convey sincerity in solving problems.

[GiPFELKiND]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel you can find the NEW device and all things on the fccid Homepage how can you say there is no new device

[Rayfox]

@GiPFELKiND
You can see some exciting details with new watchfaces and new apps like ‘Breathe’, ‘Evaluation Lab’, and ‘Alipay’. It’s exciting to see what will happen and, not least, when.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel said in Software update 2.39.20 (2024 Q4):

@orzechszek it’s being tested. Should be released sooner than later.

correct.
And if all goes well, the current test build 2.39.xx does the job fixing OHR and sleep tracking issues and will be released within the next days.

@GiPFELKiND read my message again and you’ll know.

Reading is boring

[enriqueescoms]

@Egika, Just out of curiosity, only for the Vertical, Race and Race S devices, or also for 9PP?

[Sportsfreund]

@sartoric My Vertical dont has problems like this. So i hope that new Update Solution don’t bring this problems to mine.

[Egika]

@enriqueescoms yes, all these four models are on the same FW path.

[tmclr]

@Egika

Please can you confirm that any new update won’t be forced on me, even though I have automatic updates OFF?

My 9PP is stable now, and I have no appetitie for the awful new carousel menus…

[Sportsfreund]

@tmclr why not. This new menu look is so gorgeous.

[Elipsus]

@Sportsfreund It looks good indeed, but it makes it less readable for people with less-good eyesight, as the size of the text is much smaller when its not in the middle.

A good middle ground would be like Garmin (saw that on my GF Venu 3S), there is a “carousel style” animation, but the font size seems to vary a lot less.

[Egika]

@tmclr no. I can’t. I don’t program these functions. But if the watch is updated despite the switch being off, this should be regarded as a bug.

[Sportsfreund]

@Egika Same in „offline“ Mode. You can set the offline mode but the app connection still works.

[Egika]

@Sportsfreund where do I set “offline mode”

[Sportsfreund]

@Egika

[Sportsfreund]

@Sportsfreund Oh stopp, it was a mistake by myself.
It works now, but it wasn’t always like this.
Sorry for this mistake.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@tmclr give it some time, you’ll get used to it.

I think that it’s unnecessary, but while Suunto is moving towards the crown, it makes sense from the aesthetics point of view. An added benefit is that top and bottom items are now smaller, so more data can fit into the circular view (although it’ll be smaller and harder to read for some people).

I think that having the older firmware might interfere with some functionalities, like S+ apps, so it would be wise to be up to date.
