Live location S+ app

Egika

@Nikolai-Simonov yesterday I wanted to switch on Live location mid-activity.
I failed.
Thule the watch showed connected, the ios app (latest beta of today) always had an orange “waiting for S+” in the status and did not get a position from the watch.
It looked like this (ios):

Is this supposed to work?

@Egika
I already did that in the past, and in such case (with Android though), I switch off the app service, and switch on again, and it is fixing.
Maybe worth trying, as initial workaround.

Egika

@Mff73 I switched everything multiple times. Switch in app on/off, force closed and restarted app, switched S+ on/off etc.

@Egika I had the same issue today trying to start a run - latest iOS app and latest Firmware Race 2.

@Egika thanx for report, if it possible could you check on previous versions e.g. 1.0.16 (83)

the behaviour is pretty odd,
basically mid-activity flow shouldn’t have any difference with regular flow.
I’ll try to figure out what could happen, there was an update in btle stack on iOS version, maybe it broke smth. however unfortunately i’ll be without my iPhone this week, will be able to check only next weekend.

@larrybbaker could you also check on previous version if it possible.

Thanx for point out

@Egika I had the exact same issue 2 days ago. With the latest beta version, the watch connected but kept waiting for the Suunto Plus app – just like in your screenshots. It didn’t matter if I started the activity with tracking already enabled or if I started tracking during the activity; neither way worked. I then downgraded to the current stable version from the App Store, and everything worked perfectly again.

@tuxbuster thanx for confirmation of the issue, i’ve disconted the latest testflight. build for a while.

I installed 1.0.16 (83).
Unfortunately this version crashes repeatedly when trying to start the app. No way to start it.
iPhone 16, iOS 26.5 beta

Edit: (85) is working.

@Nikolai-Simonov I tried again today on my run and could not successfully enable live tracking.

iOS (latest beta)
Race 2 with latest firmware
Suunto App latest version
Live.t app - latest version

Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling app on phone and the Suunto + app. Toggled off and on in watch. Live.t app just constantly shows searching for watch but never shows connected. If I toggle the watch app off/on it will sometimes say connected but the live.t app never does.

Let me know what else I can do to assist with troubleshooting.

I thought maybe it was my custom sport mode but same issue with a standard one. I also switch between 2 watches - could that be an issue? Race 2 and Vertical 1. I have not tried the Vertical this week but probably can tomorrow or this weekend.

Nikolai Simonov

@larrybbaker yes, sadly it’s a known issue, could you please, downgrade app to previous version. @egika said 1.0.16 (85) works, or even download appstore version instead testflight.

also you could try disabling sensor forwarding if you’ve enabled it, i suspect it could break the connection. but not sure yet.

Unfortunately I’m able to publish a fix not earlier than monday.

@larrybbaker @egika @tuxbuster

I’ve prepared a blind fix. unable to test it all, but, if you have time let me know if it works now.

to test this build you need to enter to another tester group - https://testflight.apple.com/join/ZGZeRASB

there’s also updated android build to verify if everything still works

Was trying last version : when live app is open on my iPhone I have a small vibration every sec. It disappears if app is in background. But entering the app and vibration is back. Any idea ?

The Testflight link is leading me to (84).
Which works well and as designed for me.
Thx!

yep, I guess, it could be, unsynced ui and btle state. the ui can produce small haptic feedback during scanning for watch. is watch able to connect in the latest version? I’ll fix it in a few days when come back to iPhone to check.

i kept only latest (90) build in this group https://testflight.apple.com/join/ZGZeRASB

could you recheck

larrybbaker

Used stable version this morning with no issues. Just updated to (90) and will test on tomorrow morning run.

Egika

@Nikolai-Simonov installed (90).

Does not do anything when trying to connect. Just small haptic events on the phone (1Hz).
No connection to watch possible. Does not even show “searching” or similar at all.

safari

The app won’t open after the latest beta update. I’ve submitted a crash report.
