as a follow up, I was able to send logs to support. there was no id that popped up however when they had successfully sent. I am on iOS app. I also submitted an app contact to support to let them know telling them all the detail that went along with the crash.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos you’re correct. I did a battery calibration, and the battery drains get back to old levels ( at least the 1% drain in sleep tracking for 7h sleep)
Next time will calibrate battery before posting

…guys, why’s this post worth a down vote?!
I noticed today that my watch drained 25% in 36h with only 2 min gps tracking… no sleeptracking, 24/7 HR activated and neither frequent syncing…
this would be like 6 days battery life… normally I’ve got 5-7 days with around 5h gps tracking…
I said I will not track it down and wait patiently, but today I was very surprised about this scale of drain.
…just in case it would be my battery approaching it’s end of life: please Suunto, get S9P XL ready

@freeheeler I would hope that downvote is just a wrong click.
-
@isazi True, when reading on mobile you can easily miss the appropriate arrow.

@dulko79
only if you’re fat fingered
why is there down voting anyway?
if someone disagrees he/she can just ignore the post… and if it’s a spammer, they get thrown out of our nice little team anyhow -
@freeheeler hahaha I am fat fingered, I press both arrows and quote button at the same time.
-
@freeheeler I’m with you. Get rid of the thumbs down button!
-
@miniforklift it’s happening on my S9 non-Baro!
It’s almost in loop sync

Hiking for more than 3 hours today with an S9 baro, navigation enabled, S+ weather, media controls enabled. No crash. Need to try with waypoints also, as in the past that was one issue.
-
@isazi I am using navigation with waypoints together with S+ usually at least twice a week, different routes. I noticed one crash half a year ago and another one ~ one month ago… I was not using media controls. Therefore, I would say that the probability of the crash was less than ~ 1:20. Good luck trying to replicate that
Anyway - one thing might help. During the first crash (one year ago) the navigation went nuts - although I named my waypoints different names, the watch was showing just the waypoint type instead of the name (like in the older firmwares, but I was already using the firmware that was showing the proper names). Once the watch rebooted, the waypoint names were shown properly. So, if there is something strange with the waypoint names, chances of crash might be higher
-
Battery drain looks normal on my s9b. Some ‘annoyances’ as stated previously are:
- very apparent lag on my watch when changing watchfaces. Sometimes even takes 2, 3 sec for the outdoor watchface to load (not only when finishing activity but going from HR back).
- another crash in the morning (the watch just showed black screen without reacting to any button - that’s my 4th crash in 6 months)
- zombie notifications not disappearing after 5 days
- on Saturday (after long week at work) hoping to sleep longer the watch decided to buss with ‘training soon do not forget to charge’ at exactly 8:00. I woke up (had it next to my ear apparently) and the sleep shows 8:05. Why is this notification coming when sleeping is active?
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Ok. So how many times do I have to charge the watch to calibrate the battery? 20 times? I’ve charged at least 10 times and it’s still the same. After last night (8 hours) on desk, it’s 4% down again.
-
@pavlas was an issue already acknowledged? I think someone mentioned that next release should resolve this problem.
-
Hi all. And @Pavlas I think I have mentioned that there is an acknowledged issue with the battery during "laying on table " mode.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos okay, I guess I missed it. Sorry and thanks.

You’d think this would be for all S9’s that have updated wouldn’t you? Mine seems to be fine, battery life seems to be as good and as frugal as it always has been

I do not know if what I’m going to say have any sense, but could be that you have “everything” enabled so you can’t notice the battery drain in sleep mode?
In my case, with everything off, and after two battery calibration, the battery drain in sleep mode is still very high, as when I created my post stating it. -
@cosmecosta
good point… I think my watch has the same settings as @cosmecosta 's watch does… if you’re used to longer battery life it might be more noticeable -

The only time I use it is for training, then it’s off the wrist and sits on the table until I need it again
I charged it to full last night, used it for a 60min run this morning. It’s now early afternoon and it’s at 95% which seems consistent with how it’s always been
