@bastek1709 Hi,
I assume your answer was:
"how to calibrate the battery? " according to google translation.

I just let the watch completely discharge until it turns off. Afterwards, charge it overnight.

@skydancer yes, as it was before update…

[cosme.costa]

@nseslija @skydancer If battery drain is not a killer for you, according to some testers comments, in the next FW update this issue should be fixed and the next FW update should be before the end of the year, if Suunto keeps its usual timing for updates.

[nseslija]

@cosme-costa yes I know, but the battery drain is to big for me to wait till the next update…

[skydancer]

@nseslija Downgraded yesterday to 2.16 without any problems, battery drain back to good, old times.

I noticed on may S5 that last few months (probably from release of firmware with autobacklight on every action and button) that battery life is much worse too so i think it is not only S9B problem.

@skydancer Did you have to set the sport modes again?

[nseslija]

@pavlas yes…everything from the scratch!

[clemens.renzl]

it’s so annoying - suunto please fix the battery drain issue asap

@nseslija
Well, re-creating of all custom Sport modes is pretty frustrating. I experienced that few times and each time it was pain and frustration.
I created a Feature request in Polls for Backup/Restore option in SA.
Any of you are invited to vote for this option, if you find it usefull.

@zadow voted!

[zhang965]

where is the next update?

[cosme.costa]

@zhang965 soonish

If Suunto repeats it usual dates I think we will have it in 2/3 weeks. Next week we will have new Suuntolink.

@surfboomerang
Thank you! I really appreciate it!

[skydancer]

@pavlas yes, custom sport modes were wiped out.

[Pavlas]

@skydancer Thanks! I’ll try to wait for the next update. But the discharging is annoying.

@cosme-costa Suuntolink got an update on 30/11, so far your timing seems to be confirmed !
