      Let me help. If you are on latest software it will show processing once the sync is done.

      I am suspecting that sony has issues with updating the agps. Reporting this.

        @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos on the app is says optimizing GPS after syncing activities and resources etc. It takes a fairly long time and when its done I see a green check mark. It does this every sync. I think it only did the optimizing GPS once a day before this issue occurd.C945D1A9-B889-4EF8-BF82-0E66284AAC0D.png D9ABA597-EB69-49FE-9AC0-75B581E8995D.png

            @Richard-Thygesen This happened to me as well a couple of days ago. Did the same as Richard Thygesen. Changed to gps only and Agps updated almost directly.

                  @Richard-Thygesen that’s what mine was already set on. Since doing the factory reset it seems to be working 100% quicker/better so far

                      Just an update. It seems to work after changing to GPS only. I got the new a-GPS file this morning.

                        Well now I don’t get the newest A-GPS file again. This is annoying. I’m out of ideas. Has anyone found a solution?

                          @Richard-Thygesen yesterday there were issues with Sony distributing the AGPS files, maybe related.

                            I got it yesterday and then did a soft rest after @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos wrote us to do that and after the soft restart I got the file directly after syncing with SA app. Today I didn’t get the new file. I’ll wait a couple of hours and see what happens.

                              @Richard-Thygesen I didn’t get the file either, and there are other people complaining so it is most probably related.

                                I don’t have AGPS too. Did a cold start, it took around 30 seconds and then the GPS seemed ok (tested it only via POI navigation for a while).

                                Also, I did a soft-reset yesterday which went as usual and did it today too as I’ve seen no AGPS despite SA sync and an hour or so later it was still N/A. This time after soft-reset the watch displayed a low-battery indicator and didn’t restart until I connected it to the charger, weird as it had ~40% of battery left.

                                  @Łukasz-Szmigiel let it be without agps.

                                  Maybe it’s better for now. If I understand correctly it’s a sony fuckups on the predictions. It just will take time to find gps at first run.

                                  Let it outside on the balcony etc for a while and then go for a run.

                                    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos sure, no problem on my side. Just reporting my findings. I’m impressed that cold start was in around 30s anyway.

                                      So since calling Suunto and going through a factory reset on the phone with them 5 days ago, the watch worked perfectly until today when the display went completely blank again, it synced with the app fine but took a soft reset to get the display back. This is the 4/5th time since I purchased the watch at the beginning of December. Showing assisted gps not available again to.

                                        @Phil-Powell are you in the last firmware? I had this blank screen issue one or two firmwares ago, not anymore.

                                        On the other hand, it is normal to not have AGPS info after a softreset, because it cleans cache. After the softreset you have to sync the watch with SA and wait 15 min. aprox.

                                          @Phil-Powell it should say ”in progress” if you look directly after sync. If not you havent downloaded the file.
