      @pilleus Yesterday I was getting the same reboots and crashes whist in normal exercise tracking and NOT following a route. This getting really silly now.

        @olymay after the third factory reset the problem did not exist anymore. The last 6 activities were okay. 🤔

          @pilleus THREE factory resets?? That’s bonkers! Might be worth a try though, as much of a faff as it is doing a reset, it’s easier than sending it away for a month.

            Maybe it was just a problem with Suunto app on the phone and a permission or battery optimisation. Xiaomi is a little bit special.

              It has only been happening since the latest update on the watch and it initially only did it whilst following a route, although it now does it in all modes

              I run without my phone, so I doubt that has anything to do with it.

                I have taken a video of the issue as it happening today. This was recorded indoors, so there is no GPS lock, however it does the same thing even with a lock.

                  @olymay had very similar symptoms. For some reasons watch can’t switch to offload(ambient)-mode and as I said - factory reset fixed the issue for me

                    @pavel-samokha I’ve done one factory reset. I’ll try another later today when I have some time. I’m also getting a new phone tomorrow (Pixel 5) so that will also force another reset and maybe that combination of three resets and a new phone will persuade it to work.

                    If not, it’ll go back to Sunnto for a refund and I’ll buy a Garmin 😞

                        @olymay with a new phone you do not need to reset the S7. Search for the adb solution in xda-developers. It’s easy to use. 👍

                          A walk with a loaded route and fused track didn’t cause any problems. I cancelled the route on the way and reloaded it, no problem.

                          I am sure that it’s a software related problem in connection with the phone.

                            @pilleus Can you try with the higher accuracy gps track? I have never used the fused track (I don’t run for long enough to worry about battery life… yet).

                            And when I run I do not take my phone with me, so how could that connection be the issue?

                            I do agree with yo in that it is likely a software issue, as this has only been happening since the recent big update.

                            Yes, I do know that I can use the ADB solution (used it before with other Wear OS watches) but as I seem to be resetting the S7 almost daily at the moment it isn’t really an issue to do it when I get my new phone 🙂

                              @olymay if you’re able to work with adb - then try to do adb bugreport please

                                @olymay okay, I don’t use the S7 without phone, because both gadgets are on board. 😊

                                Tomorrow I will be back with an activity with best GPS settings and without phone connection.

                                  @pavel-samokha More than happy to try, but that isn’t something I have done before. Do you have a link to a guide please?

                                    @olymay don’t have exact guide, roughly the same as with android phone:

                                    • Install ADB on you computer
                                    • Enable Dev mode on Suunto 7 (in Settings->About-> click multiple times (7 or 10, don’t remember) on Build Number)
                                    • Enable ADB debugging on Suunto 7 (Settings -> Dev options -> ADB debugging)
                                    • Connect Suunto 7 to your computer via cable
                                    • Authorize this computer to debug on S7 (popup should appear on S7)
                                    • Open Command Prompt on your computer and type adb bugreport

                                    After that you should have file with bugreport

                                      @olymay That is not normal, and I have not seen this problem. I would definitely contact support. They are typically quite helpful.

                                            The problem seems to be solved for my S7 after 3 crashes and 3 factory resets.

                                            5 activities with different settings and without any problem.

                                            2 activities with connected phone, AOD, tilt-to-wake, best and good GPS settings, no route and route.

                                            3 without connected phone, with and without AOD, with and without tilt-to-wake, with best GPS and route.

                                            May be that after the update something was left in the cache or something else was wrong.

                                            It’s okay for me now. 👍😊
