Can't control music with my Suunto Race S

@Cinzia-Araosta said in Can't control music with my Suunto Race S:
Hello everyone!
I’m unable to control music playing on my phone (on Spotify), buttons are all greyed up and the only thing I can do I see the song title
.
Can someone help?
I just realised, your Race S looks very different
the screen rounded on the corners, and where is the stainless steel bezel and buttons/crown?

@Bastienhere That’s a Race S Peak Pro lol
-
@Elipsus haha i thought I was tripping out!
-
@Bastienhere I think it’s just my screen protector that makes it look different
-
Thank you all!
A bunch of restarts (phone, app, permissions…) seems to work for a while. When it’s not working anymore, restart of everything again.
Not ideal, should be investigated more.
Ciao! -
@Cinzia-Araosta I have the same problem, really frustrating how many bugs and problems this watch has. I’ve never been able to use the music at all. Could someone explain do I have to do this in app or iPhone’s settings??

@emilia_v What bugs and problems are so frustrating? It is likely a phone issue with the music. What phone do you have? What OS and what version? What version of SA are you using? I have an iPhone on the beta version and music works perfectly with the Suunto S. I doubt this is a watch issue.

@Brad_Olwin if you search your will see this is reported with various watches phones and operating systems.
A phone restart normally works for me, lasts a few days then watch stops controlling the music. It shows you what is playing but nothing else works.
I think as it is so broad an issue it probably is watch related.
I gave up months ago trying to get it to work and just use my phone…
For the record. Android. Pixel 6a. Vertical.
Just listening to music now. Everything is greyed out

@Audaxjoe since iPhones seem to work with no issues whatsoever, I would argue it is phone firmware and possibly hard ware.

Have an Android phone and had the same problem with my suunto peak. I was recently playing around with the music controls and did a restart on the suunto app in the phone. Then the music controls worked again. I think the problem is the suunto app for Android and have been there for years.

Does anyone at Suunto still fix bugs?
How many years has this bug been around?
