Live location S+ app

[Miroslava]

@Nikolai-Simonov So either I’m stupid or it doesn’t work I went for a run yesterday, I set everything up, just like you sent me in the instructions, I’m attaching a photo. It registered the position but nothing happened, no movement, no data, nothing. Today I went out to the street to try walking to work. I’m not exaggerating but I had to press the button 10 times because the device was not found. On the 11th attempt it connected, I say ok I sent my location to my friend, let her follow me, I even tried an SOS SMS, all this is ok I send a photo of the walk
but I have basically three questions

1. why do I have to press the button on the watch 10 times before the device finds it? Is it a problem with android or what?
2. it didn’t show my heart rate, only my movement speed
3. every minute I got a notification on my phone that the watch was connected (can I turn it off somehow? this was very annoying). During a walk that lasted 2.5km, I got those notifications about 15 times.
   I have no idea what I’m doing wrong

@Miroslava
Thanks for trying it out and for the detailed message!

• What button are you pressing 10 times?

• To see heart rate in the tracking view, make sure the “Additional metrics” option is enabled in the app settings.
  

• Repeated “watch connected” notifications
  Those shouldn’t appear constantly. That sounds like an issue possibly a phone-specific behavior. Could you let me know what phone model and Android version you’re using?

@Nikolai-Simonov Thanks. I just edited my test report to specify that sending metrics was off and that i had continious gnss ON.
I’ll test again with notifications off, gnss off and additional metrics on

Is the web made with react ?

@Nikolai-Simonov said in Live location S+ app:

Repeated “watch connected” notifications

I can confirm on Android 14 I see repeated notifications “watch connected / watch disconnected”, every 30 seconds or so

[Miroslava]

@Francesco-Pagano exactly as me

Hi @Miroslava @Francesco-Pagano
Thanks a lot for helping test and report this!

I was able to reproduce the issue — on some devices, it looks like there’s a conflict with the Suunto App (SA). Roughly once per minute, SA causes the disconnection between Live.t and the S+ app on watch and that’s why you’re seeing repeated connection notifications.

I still need a bit of time to fully investigate what’s going on, but in the meantime:

Good news:
The SuuntoPlus app handles reconnection correctly, so even with these interruptions, tracking should continue to work well.

Temporary workaround:
You can mute notifications from the Live.t app in your phone’s system settings. That should make it less annoying until the fix is ready.

I’ll publish a small hotfix soon to make the connection notification silent by default.

Thanks again for your help in tracking down this weird bug really appreciate it!

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos nope, it’s svelte

@Nikolai-Simonov I’m super glad I helped you catch the mistakes, we’ll see how it goes after the fix, when I try it out
