Unable to sync with movescount on my laptop

@brad_olwin why has it only just started happen this hole time I have been able to update both ?

@savage9878 because new SA app do not not tolerate routes created on it and breaks sync with MC app and cable. One word BUG.

A combination of new SA app and 2.0 firmware in the Spartan…PIA to fix, I ended up having to reinstall firmware twice but all is working as before…just no routes from SA app.

@Brad_Olwin is completely right and I think we will start getting more and more problems.

Suuntolink just updated itself to version 2.22.0 on my computer today. Maybe the new version fixes this?
Suuntolink Release Notes

Jouko Tyni

Suuntolink does not sync if the App has marked the watch to unsafe for Movescount, the new Suuntolink doesn’t act any different. If the app has marked the watch, there is no sync to MC anymore. Resetting the watch should resolve it. If not, the full restore will, but you lose the activities. In the app it should be so that until you add routes to watch (or later custom sport modes) the watch is fine to sync on both. If not then we have bug in the app. This has been talked a lot now internally, we need to figure out if we can do it any differently since it is very clear we will have another big issue driving users away from our systems. This is my opinion, not official comment. I’ll try to make this very visible, even it has already been communicated quite loudly. Last time was yesterday for the app program.

Brad_Olwin

@jouko-from-suunto Thanks for the reply…you might here strong words from us and comments that are critical but…we are fans. We all signed up for the beta and we (I hope I can speak for most) believe Suunto makes great products and we want Suunto to grow. I am helping…ordered my S9:)

Shrek3k

@brad_olwin absolutely right … except: I didn’t order the new one

Jouko Tyni

@brad_olwin True, but you know, we need all the fans we can get to use our products. The only way we can fund creation of new ones or making the current ones better.

Brad_Olwin

@jouko-from-suunto Thanks, I have convinced several of my friends to by Suunto devices. My coaching group is almost all Garmin and some are talking about replacing units. Glad the S9 is announced, I will point out the advantages:)

Luís Pinto

@brad_olwin Yes, most friends of mine have Garmin models. Two or three have reliable Ambit Peak. There are very few with Spartan models. For our market just one model is affordable enough for large market implementation, SST. Will be very difficult for people here buy S9. Unfortunately not everyone has the same incoming.

@brad_olwin it most be hard to point people towards S9 when Suunto is selling Spartan with 45% discount.

Most of the friends I run with will want the battery features…

They are dependent on the new GPS chip.

I am 90% sure they will. Not the fused track though

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos so we can expect FW update on s9 release day?

it can be a possibility it can be or it will happen like with trainer. 1-2 months after if not mistaken.

I would certainly hope that we wouldn’t have to go with the bugs introduced in the last release for another 2 or 3 months…
