SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.35.34 Q2

[Tomas Fejfar]

@sebchastang
Thank you for your it. I had same experience with battery drain with Suunto Race. Weather widget causes same draining. I had to change it to something what’s not connected with Internet, e.g. steps. Finally battery drain is same like before update

Today my watch restarted while recording a trail running activity. I have sent logs to Suunto directly after synchronising the watch. Who may I write a private message to share my account details?

Some details:

• Watch: Race S
• Firmware: 2.35.34
• I followed a 26km long route without turn by turn notifications
• AOD on, no smartphone notifications, intensity zone set to HR zone 1
• Watch was connected to Coros HRM
• No Suunto Apps or Guides

It happened after about 2 hours. I was not interacting with the watch at this moment. Last displayed data screen was the map screen with the route.

Good point! I would just bet it is not “Connection” issue but “GPS handling” issue as both Weather and Sunrise/Sunset complication needs to know your location but Sunrise/Sunset does not need any connection.

FYI.
I have the sunset configured as icon and weather as bottom text. Left the watch untouched for about 12hrs and the battery didn’t drop at all (93%).

So please live with these two complications for some time if it is possible and see if it happens.

@Miloush Okay, it might be related to GPS handling; it’s not an issue for me, but I’ve returned to the 5.5 - 7% daily battery consumption on my Suunto Race, just as it was prior to the update.

Helló!
Az SR akkumulátorom napi fogyasztása 20-25% aktivitás nélkül (korábban kb. 10% naponta). soft reset és hard reset, lemerítettem az akkut 0%-ra és feltöltöttem 100%-ra, de nem változott semmi. Valaki tapasztalt már hasonlót, vagy van valami más ami segíthet? sw:2.35.34

Nekem is Race-em van ugyanezzel a szoftver verzióval. Péntek este 97%-on volt az akku, most 3 nappal és 4,5 óra futással később 87%. AOD kikapcsolva, értesítés csak hívások esetén és az órát akkor viselem, ha edzek, vagy elmegyek valahova. Én nem tapasztaltam változást, de többen panaszkodtak itt a fórumon (alapvetően angol nyelvű). Páran a “számlapon” megjelenített adatok és az akku használat közötti összefüggést véltek felfedezni (pl. napkelte/naplemente esetében).

@surfboomerang Good news! Battery drains normally after a soft reset. 0% lost during the last 12 hours with sunrise/sunset complication displayed on my watchface.
I updated firmware just before I went for multi day hikes 8 days ago, so I guess the draining “issue” was a side effect of this update. Maybe I should systematically do a soft reset after a firmware update to avoid a bad state of the watch.
Happy to see my Vertical is draining battery normally again.
It’s now 3 months I bought this watch and I am very pleased with this beautiful tool when I hike, run or ride my bike

I had already noticed before the update that some watch faces consume more than others. But almost all of the watch faces I used had sunrise/sunset or moonphase in the complications stack. So this should have been a problem even before the update.

My consumption is also higher after the update. Initially extreme, after the 0-100 workaround it improved again, but still too high. I’ll switch to the barometer complication and see whether the consumption improves.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I think I need a better data set Meaning a way longer workout. Like 3 - 5 hours long. This is from today’s endurance bike ride. No navigation, just burner loaded, hr from belt.

@Łukasz-Szmigiel which tool do you use for that ?

9PP: The third time since the last update that the heart rate measurement stopped during the night and neither sleep nor hrv were recorded.

Didn’t happen before the update. Not very funny. 🥺

I have notices other issues with my suunto race, probably related to software update.

1. (Was) issue with sensors, stopped working without any reason, returned back after hard reset.

2. Sleep not tracked, I fixed it with restart and setting DND time, however from time to time - it’s not being tracked.(I read about resting HR and adjusted it to hight value), still - it’s not 100% I can get sleep tracked. Resources screen show missing info.
   

3. Watches hangs on “start training” (just in case it’s matters - hockey) - and could hang up to 5 min, pressing button doesn’t give any help. Fixed with restart.
   

4. After last restart, and successfully tracked hockey practice, it’s disappeared. I synced watches with the app, and was really surprised that practice missing, checked the watches - there is no training there.

Overall, I probably restarted suunto race watches more than any other device I could remember, and it was ok before software update.

@valery-kasinski Could point 3 be related to this bug I wrote about here, how do you think?

[valery.kasinski]

@false I haven’t customized modes, I’m using default “ice hockey” set-up, sometimes “pool-swimming”, again - default.
I tried different options to start sport activity, from menu, using quick button - it’s just hangs.
Only restart helped. It’s really annoying that you need to restart the sport watches to launch sport activity. I really expected better, and it was (at least I don’t remember issues with sleep tracking and the rest) before software update.

I’ve noticed that the UI sometimes hangs for a few seconds, typically when returning from widget to mini widgets. For those few seconds only the selected mini widget is visible and everything else disappears. However, sometimes the whole interface hangs, for example when cycling mini widgets or after entering the widget. It’s mostly noticeable after a longer time (few hours) of not waking the watch up (no notifications, no buttons pressed).

Anyone noticed anything similar on S9PP? I can record it.

[mikekoski490]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel Same thing has happened on the Race. Maybe 3 or 4 times.

[sebchastang]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel I have noticed the same thing since lastest firmware update on my Vertical.
