Unable to connect / sync vertical with suunto app since last update

@tyj14 said in Unable to connect / sync vertical with suunto app since last update:
@ortles please excuse my frustration.
No need to excuse - I share that and I am frustrated as well!
I like the overall concept of vertical and I think I would prefer it over other brands - given that everything would work again.
If sync issue and breadcrumb issue would be fixed, it would be my 90 % perfect watch and I would be happy with it.
Still have hope that they will manage it within a not to long period of time (even though it’s nearly two months now without a clear perspective!). That’s why at the moment I am still reluctant to change it. But how much time should I invest? I am unsure! An official information what we can expect right now would be definitely helpful therefore.

PLEASE, LET US KNOW!
Our brand new 500€ Suunto Watch are unusable, what we have to do?
Is it a BT hardware related problem and we have to ship them back to Suunto for being repaired/substituted?
OR
is it a software problem and we have to wait for a new firmware?
and how much time we have still to wait??After more than six weeks Suunto must know what is going on!
-
@Stefano-M64 but like it has been said many times :
- we don’t know how many people are really impacted. For instance I have more than 30 people around me using SV, SR, S9pp and none has sync issues…It may not help to find the issue
- finding what really leads to an obvious bug is not simple all the time
-
@Tieutieu But Suunto has to do something! Ask customer send watch back to you and give new one them! Its not customers falt if your product not working… I got lucky because seller gave me money back…
Does those 30 people doing workouts? Because that is to thing when sync going broken every time. If i use Vertical just watch, there were not problems.
-
@Sami-Turunen I assure you they do workouts almost daily, and sync.
Suunto is doing things that we don’t see, no one should doubt about it. And like every brand, having a communication around something that is maybe impacting a very few proportion of users is a bit touchy…
For every brand, every release, there are always people that will find bugs or have issues.
Sending back a watch may have worked for someone, and might help to correct. But watch replacement that worked for someone doesn’t meen that the issue is found…Just to had some colors in this “not funny at all thread” (I sincerely have pain for those suffering sync issues) here are my last 30 days. No sync issues.

Hello,
In my case, with Vertical, since last upgrade, synchonization of activities do not work normally. (Hard re-set of the watch, new Suunto Apps download on 2 Samsung, new Bluetooth setting done, 2 different Internet providers tested…)
With the transfer of a new map, activities are also always transferred… During the weekend , at my mum house synchonization of activities were ok. Back home; it is NOT working again. But it is still the same mobile, bluetooth. (only a different internet provider, but the synchronization of activities does not use internet !) Summary: synchronization is done at random and Suunto Assistance with the chat is mute … It is s/t in the coding which is not done properly. -
@Tieutieu still, 2 months is too long to do nothing when the customer’s product worth hundreds of euros doesn’t work. But its not my problem anymore. Just trying to tell how frustrating it was to be alone with the problem. Suunto support is chat where you got only same url over and over aginI
hope you solve to problem soon!

@Sami-Turunen
my son and I don’t have issues syncing either. he’s got an android and I’ve got iOS. my second Vertical is on android, too, and never had sync issues either.
as you can imagine, Suunto is aware. I can not imagine how many watches are affected, only Suunto will know over time.it’s ok and necessary to let us know and I understand frustration. it will take some time but I am very sure Suunto will solve also this issue
-
But it doesn’t help us that you and your friends have no problems.
Here are a lot of users with problems who cannot use their watches any more. It’s now since seven weeks.
Suunto is responsible for that and has to offer a solution. It’s their duty. No more excuses that it’s so difficult and others have no problems. That doesn’t help us.
-
@freeheeler its not intresting to hear if you and your son watch work. My son 9 peak work as well, but it is not helping those who has waiting over 2 month with unuseful watch. But as i say, i have now another watch and its not my problem. Me, my son and my girlfriend does not buy suunto watches anymore. Because you don’t have customer support or ability problems.
Thanks for last 10 (about) year!
-
@ortles I don’t say that it helps.
I can clearly understand how frustrating it is for those having issues.
I was only telling that if it was so easy to correct it would have been done already… -
@Sami-Turunen
what I want to say is that it isn’t easy to find a bug when there are few people only to report it.
I don’t even know how many have sent logs.
but since this isn’t interesting, I keep quiet now
just one last comment: Suunto has never published a roadmap for bugfixing and development. I think the same applies for the other big players.
what Suunto always did is releasing updates for critical bug once it’s been fixed and ready for release. -
I’m a researcher, I’m aware that debugging the software that run an instrument can be challenging.
Some week ago I wrote to be patient since for sure a new firmware would be released to solve that issue.
But now I’m a little bit discouraged …
I believe Suunto had time enough to understand if there is an hardware problem in some of their new watches or not,
and the fact that many of them works without problems while others don’t push me now in that direction.
If the hardware is the same and the firmware is the same you should get same results, unless there are hardware issues.
This is the official Suunto forum and at this point some news from Suunto concerning the sync issue are needed.
We can’t wait forever, hoping that some day a miracle will happen. -

@Sami-Turunen
question to all with sync issues (my apologies, I didn’t read every single post):- the watch connects to SA? yes or no?
- if yes, the watch does not sync activities?
- does it sync e.g. custom sport modes?
and what about logs (if it’s possible to connect to SA of course):
have you been able to send logs from recent hotfix firmware 2.33.14? -
@freeheeler said in Unable to connect / sync vertical with suunto app since last update:
- the watch connects to SA? yes or no?
yes it connects, but sometimes (like this morning) it takes a lot even for updating the GPS and the Weather data, without any activity to be synced (I erased all of them from the watch)
- if yes, the watch does not sync activities?
before the 2.33.12 update it did, even if “hesitating” sometimes,
after 2.33.12 syncing become more hard to get,
2.33.14 didn’t solve that issue at all- does it sync e.g. custom sport modes?
yes, but it is cumbersome
and what about logs (if it’s possible to connect to SA of course):
have you been able to send logs from recent hotfix firmware 2.33.14?no, I didn’t send any logs
It would be good, for example, if here in this forum, a new Official Thread would ask people with sync problem to send their logs.

I was only telling that if it was so easy to correct it would have been done already…Yes, it’s difficult, that‘s obvious!
But nonetheless they are responsible and have the duty to do something within a definit period of time. The length of this period is not ‚as long as it takes’, but is to be determined from the view of a reasonable costumer. After nearly two months it is close to be over.
If they have no idea what to do they could make an official announcement that people who are affected should send in their watches for exchange. And then do so.
-
I have sent logs weeks ago and I have tested out everything, I am tired of doing that again and again with no results.
If we should contribute in a certain way, we would need official information about that IMHO.
-
what I intended to do was to offer my help and at least collect the logs from all people experiencing sync issues with their watches and file a bug for Suunto.
let’s see how many users will PM me…
I don’t think a redundant thread is necessary.
(Suunto does not officially participate in this forum) -
@ortles It didn’t work and I tried to contact Suunto one more time.
Suunto:
"Okay apparently we have not received any information on bad BT yet. But yes we have tried all the possible steps to unfortunately we are not successful in any of those steps. And yes we have we still waiting for a update in Suunto app and in watch as well for the issue to fixed in the next update.Suunto 12:19
As a Suunto Race user myself I have tried all the possible steps but unfortunately one of our colleague’s watch it is still not synced with the app.
My:
I know that you doing your best, but is there some time plan to solved the problem?
Suunto 12:21
It is to be estimated within this month.
Suunto 12:24
The update should be there within this month.

@Charles hello Charles, I send my watch to the service, please could I ask you, do you have any reference number or other identifier of your cases?
