Software Update 2.40.44 (2025 Q1 Hotfix)

[Egika]

@safari the arrow will come back if the watch has sampled enough data since the update to show the trend. This takes around 3h or so.
Its the same with every FW update.

@Egika
Ok, I’m following.

[sartoric]

@safari
even if you soft reset

The update was installed without any problems. But as always, a sport mode is gone and the setting of the custom modes are adjusted. It’s annoying.

Feedback for the “Step counter accuracy” on a Race S
Would say it has improved

Just did a simple test : 100 steps, walking like a soldier

With previous firmware it gave me half the steps (47 and 53)
With beta firmware I got 97 and 103 steps

On a short walk (850m)

forerunner 255 : 1296 steps
race S : 1313 steps (with previous firmware I had 950 steps)

EDIT : walked 4.56km

Races : 6681 steps
Samsung Galaxy watch 5 : 6653 steps

@sartoric nothing has changed

[Brad_Olwin]

@safari You need a few hours after a reset for the trends to show

[timecode]

Installed, everything fine just the Resources graph on the watch went blank and value was set to 70% (default).

[safari]

@Brad_Olwin
It returned to normal as of morning.
sunrise7sunset is refreshed every 10 minutes I think.
the real time on the screen is not working

[Ecki D.]

@Stavrogin this is a known issue and it should be fixed with the next app update (iOS) - there is another thread for that.

[М Б]

A problem that has existed for some time has not been fixed here either. It is not possible to load maps into the clock. Everything ends with a screen with the text Map download suspended. Connect the watch to the charger and wi fi

[sartoric]

@safari
I mean that the baro icon doesn’t show the trend (need to “recalibrate”) also after a soft reset, not that a soft reset solves it

[pavel.samokha]

@М-Б there is an issue that WiFi toggle doesn’t work. Unfortunately it can be only solved with “Reset All Settings” now

[sorinus]

@pavel.samokha Will it be fixed in a future update? Otherwise, I will reset the watch but I fear I will lose data.

[М Б]

@sartoric wifi works correctly after reboot, no errors here. but maps are not loading. will they fix it before the official release?

[isazi]

@sorinus it will be fixed in the next update (not hotfix) as far as I know

[Jordi C]

Are there any changes in this version regarding the heart rate monitor?

Maybe it’s just my feeling, but it seems to me that the tracking is more accurate.

[Ecki D.]

• GPS seems to need a restart of the watch (and says snyc with app several times)
• as usual some individual settings like autostop are gone
• everything else looks okay

[Stefano M64]

I synced the watch and got a new update, right now, version 2.40.44.24122
it’s the official (non-beta) hotfix I suppose …

[SergioB]

@Stefano-M64 Mee too
