@Egika
Ok, I’m following.

@safari
even if you soft reset

[Kaiphi]

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)

@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

[Pavlas]

It’s Beta in the description, so…
