GPS problems with my S9B
-
@basetta79 is AGPS updated?
-
If this is only one time, it could be just a bad GPS day. Try a soft reset and sync with SA to update AGPS data as @isazi suggested.
If this problem persists over more activities in the future a better analysis is needed.

Think so but I will check. Do you think the app update can affect the precision of the watch? Thank you for your help

AGPS data are used by the watch not by the App itself

@basetta79 tell us the date of your AGPS update if you can.

@isazi ok, I’ve just checked and I found out it wasn’t updated.
Now I downloaded the latest version from Play Store: it’s the 4.38.1
So strange it didn’t download automatically (as for all the apps). -
@basetta79 okay that is the app version. On your watch go to “Settings” -> “General” -> “About” and look for “Assisted GPS”.
Edit: if you watch is in Italian it should still be something similar to that.

On my watch I synced this morning before the run I post in screenshot.
On my watch the sw is 2.14.12

@basetta79 the AGPS is updated (at least it is now), if it happens again can you check right after the activity if the APGS is updated or not?
-
@isazi sure!
-
@basetta79 when you start the activity, does it take long for the GPS icon to become green?
-
@isazi today 1-2 minute. Yesterday when I realized I was off with gps, I stopped and finished the activity. Then I immediately started another one but the search for gps has been long. When back at home, I couldn’t sync with the app. I had to un pair the watch then pair it newly and it worked.
Edit: I was using navigation with an imported route
-
@basetta79 long time for a GPS fix is consistent with missing AGPS.

@isazi and what can I do in that case? Is this something I can fix without sending the watch to official assistance?
-
I had some issues with slow fix too a couple of days ago.
So maybe there was some problem in the file data -
@basetta79
just make sure your watch completely synces to SA before an activity. the agps file gets synced with the watch-phone connection
I’ve had bad agps and also in general bad recording days, too. they are very rare IMHO -
@freeheeler ok. This morning the agps were synced to the app before the run but the result was awful (BUT the SA wasn’t updated). Tomorrow I will retry…
-
@basetta79 if you sync AGPS do it more than 15 minutes before you start the activity. Unpacking and making the files available takes time, so if you sync a new AGPS and then start immediately it is not available.
