Suunto Software Update Q2 Hotfix 2.56.28 Race 2 and Vertical 2

@Martin-Vrska seems like always with software nowadays: You win some, you loose some…

Installed in the morning. Only one bike ride from work. Got same elevation as usual. Maybe it’s just a feeling, but Bluetooth feels better to me in everyday use. Previously, the watch wouldn’t connect when I moved away from my phone, but today I received all notifications without any problems. Hopefully the restarts have been resolved too and I will be a satisfied customer again .

Martin Vrska

@2b2bff Yes, I understand, but this has always worked correctly on all my Suuntos and various firmwares, so it doesn’t seem right to me. I’ll definitely survive it .

@Martin-Vrska probably you missed my sarcasm there. I see this pattern far too often these days…

Another restart today after I checked the morning log.

My watch came back from the Suunto service center yesterday because of the restarts. They returned it without a hotfix (they replaced the battery and the barometer sensor—I don’t understand why, but OK). Yesterday evening I updated to 2.56.28, and this morning it restarted again.

I sent the log via SA.

So nothing new for the “bluetooth sensor drop during trainings” issue?

Does anyone know something about this?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Inge-Nallsson you are right. This was my omission coming back from vacation and being a bit overwhelmed. (thats also why this post was delayed)

Race 2 and Vertical 2 -> added it to the topic

This issue is occuring on all recent suunto watches since end of last year. I reported it many times to suunto (for my race s). Only half july I got the message that suunto support passed the message to suunto developers. The next time I got the message suunto developers passed in on to the bluetooth firmware developers. Since then, it’s silent. Suunto support told me they would inquire about the status and keep me up to date, but I heard nothing.

The last time I complained Suunto support told me not to expect a fix in a firmware update anytime soon.

@runyx17 can you send me the email associated with your account in private? I will open a bug report for your crash, apparently it is something else that was not fixed with the update.

Thank you. Unfortunately, it is sobering to read this.

Just updated today… it took a very long time… about 25 minutes… I will test it the next days for my holiday training walks after my knee injury 🤩

Hi @isazi @dimitrios-kanellopoulos

Just had crash after hot fix not the whole watch restarted. But I lost the interval guide on the watch black screen, and no notification, I only had 2 guides activated i think it was the interval guide and zonesense.

Watch is Race 2 forgot to mention

Should I open case with customer service?

johann.fuehrer

@Elad-Solomon Hi, yes, open a case. I had also issues with the interval guide on the Vertical 2. You should open a case ALWAYS if you find a new issue to make Suunto aware of it and that there are more people with the same issue.

Elad Solomon

@johann.fuehrer will do thanks

Thanks for the update, but I have a quick question for everyone.

I can’t load any new maps on race 2 latest update — the watch says “Failed to connect to the wireless network.” I’ve never had this problem before; it’s always worked perfectly. The network is set up successfully in the app.

I’ve tried the following: removing the watch and reconnecting it, removing the network and reconnecting it, a soft reset, and even downgrading to the previous version .18. Nothing has worked. Any tips, or is this a known issue right now?

Vertical2, after last update no possibility to download or delete maps … 🫣🫣🫣 restart watch or change WiFi did not solve the problem

Egika

@9ppuser this has most likely nothing to do with the update (even more so as it occurs also with previous version).
I would look somewhere in the network setup…
You can also use your phone hotspot to check if the watch can connect to a Wifi

9ppuser

@Egika Thanks for your message. I thought it might be related to the update. I tried connecting via hotspot, but it didn’t work. The watch can’t connect, even though the app shows it’s connected. I’ll try resetting the watch; maybe that will fix the problem
