      So the problem is MC App not updating AGPS ?!

      What happen to AGPS if you connect by cable ?

      SVTS - 2.40.38
      SSSWHR BARO Amber - 2.8.32
      Samsung A5 2016 - Android 7.0
      Samsung A33 2022 - Android 14 - One UI 6.1
      Suunto App Android 5.2.5 beta
      Suunto App IOs 2.45.0 (19123) beta on MBP M1

        I don’t know. I’ll test it next time I have this issue. The issue is intermittent.

          MC app is being retired at the end of 2019. But, until SA is caught up a bit more, those that are having trouble with AGPS could use SA and MC apps together. You would then be able to sync to MC, use the POIs and workout calendar as well as SA sync to update AGPS. It is not that much hassle to use both but only one app can be running at one time.

            After reading this post I said to myself - OK, let’s give it a try!

            So, I’ve created a new SA account, paired my Suunto 9 to SA, and synced 19 activities I had on the watch to it.

            It may be updating AGPS to my watch now, but the app is simply unusable after the initial sync! It freezes so badly that every tap takes a few seconds for the app to respond. And it is missing some activities including a recent 12 hour run - is that a reason it is freezing by any chance?

            If that is what I’ll be forced to use when MC is retired, it won’t take me long to switch to another brand. I have zero tolerance for bad software.

              there is a “bug” for long run sync, and if you are in that case, until it is fixes, you could use this instead :
              https://forum.suunto.com/topic/2841/long-activities-not-syncing-for-android-try-this-version
              old version, surely new features missing, but at least to sync your activities, and wait for the fix.

                  @silentvoyager I see the issue. Please if you have a different system font for you system (eg enlarged) switch it back to to normal for the app not to crash

                    Sooooo, more people experiencing problems with updating the AGPS.
                    MC, cable and SA users, it seems…
                    What to do now? does Suunto know, if not, how?

                          The font doesn’t seem to be an issue. I’ve reverted back to default font, installed the app again (version 4.6.0 from June 26). It was behaving OK, albeit a bit slow, initially. Then, once I synced it with the watch, it became extremely laggy again, and after a while it crashed with “not responding” message. And I still couldn’t see the long trail activity from the last weekend in the log.

                                    @Shahaf-Ettedgui No issues reported about straps. Can you check the battey of it?

                                    What do you mean GPS is not syncing and via what app ?

                                      This has been a problem for me too since end of April. It looks like A-GPS data (satellite almanac) update is no longer updating reliably, at least when syncing to Movescount. A soft reset fixes that temporarily, but after a week or two the problem repeats. Currently AGPS date on my watch is 2019-06-06.

                                      I have an SSU as per right know my AGPS is dated on 2019-06-17 and on Friday it was 2019-06-14, so you AGPS is out of date. Something is wrong and is not updating your AGPS.

                                      Hi how can I check agps date? All what I see in settings is GPS 19073,0939bf6,140

                                      Kind regards,

                                            Hi,

                                            I have problems with my Suunto 9 Baro. I use Suuntolink to synchronize settings and AGPS data. Unfortunately AGPS data are not updated. AGPS file is 3 weeks old so it takes a long time to find GPS signal. The only solution is to reset my watch and sync again but it shouldn’t work like this. In my opinion this file should be updated every time the new one exists.
                                            Suuntolink app version: 2.28.1
                                            Suunto 9 soft version: 2.11.38
