Parallel use with MC App
-
@nigel-taylor thanks for tip and I can’t resist asking: you mean SportsTracker App? Salomon stuff?
-
@jarlin I cannot pair my watch at the same time to the beta app on an iPhone and MC on the iPad. As @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said you will have to unpair and re-pair each time…a pain. I gave up on trying this and just wait to sync till I can.
-
@brad_olwin Yes, that would be too much stress. I will use the SA on iPad w/o pairing to SSU for time being.
-
I use both in parallel at the same time without pairing watch to apps, just made sure that I do not run both at the same time and MC is having background app refresh off. When I want to sync workout to MC I just kill suunto app and starting MC after sync completes killing the MC.

nice

@jarlin yup, I’ve always used SportsTracker app on phone as I much prefer it to Movescount…it now (in UK at least) has Salomon competitions and news embedded along with a few other tweaks last few weeks.
I was so happy that SA seemed to be basically “SportsTracker + Sync” initially (which is the holy grail as far as I was concerned!)…but seems that’s just a temporary situation.
-
@slashas I am confused, if the watch is not paired, it does not show up in the app and will not sync, correct? This is iOS I am referring to.
-
@brad_olwin what I did is only forgot watch on the MC and it reappeared again after relaunch of Mc app and works till now with suunto app in parallel. I haven’t read suunto app installation guide
-
@slashas ahhhh, to forget the watch completely it asks you to go into BT settings and forget…this will unpair from the iPhone. I had not thought of your trick. Kudos!!! I will try this out. and Thanks. This should help @jarlin
-
Tried this several times on iOS, and unpairing and pairing every time worked for me, but yes, it was a pain to do every time.
-
My Android phone is rooted, so I only freeze one app while using the other and vice versa.
-
@jthomi I have been trying too and am required to pair and unpair as well. I will delete MC and just use the cable for MC sync. Happy with that.
-
@brad_olwin Same here!
-
For me works both without pairing anything, uploading walk which happened half hour ago:
-
@slashas same for me. Both apps installed on my iPhone and syncing every activity with both apps through the phone with no need to forget watch nor pair every time. I just close the first app after syncing and then start the other app and sync, no matter what order I use for syncing.
-
hm, might have to test that again, I was doing that in the very beginning of the beta phase…

Perfect.
-
@jthomi Ok, it did not work the first time but now both apps there. It seems only to work for me if I force quit after syncing with MC then open Suunto and it is working…Cool, I can now do everything from my iPhone…if only I could get the phone to do the running intervals for me and still get the benefit…
-
@brad_olwin Same here, oh well, thanks to @slashas for telling!

i use android and i unpaired the watch and closed movescount app, because suunto app didn’t recognize the existing connection to my watch.
then i logged in to suunto app & paired the watch and let it sync.
in the end i always get an error that syncing failed!
ok, then i closed suunto app again and started movescount app and it also synced without having to pair my watch again to movescount.
but since i played around i get no notification from movescount anymore
i freezed suunto app with titanium backup, used different profiles for the 2 apps, and so on.
finally i uninstalled suunto app again and re-paired my watch to movescount again.
but still no notification
i guess i have to install the whole sh*** from scratch to get it working again.
