OMG! Zombie notification not solved!!!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@renton82 its not zombie and wont be solved in an easy way. We need a solid implementation in place before we just add a button there.

SlaSh

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos add clear all on watch at least

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@SlaSh that is what that button I was talking about is. But that is not in yet as we want a better imlementation on that

renton82

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Ok, but are passed months since Suunto 9 launch… any eta for this bugfix?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@renton82 you could also have said a thank you on the update.
No ETA on this as it’s not prio.

A Former User

Sounds great! I am happy also for the SSU users!
No cable here to update at work ;-(

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Could You say something about GPS overall performance after the GLONASS addition to the S9!?
Is there also a new OHR firmware?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@paradize NEW OHR FW for the Spartans yes not sure about the S9 (dont remember to be honest).

Regarding glonass it kills the wobble and now we also added a function that if the GPS gets faulty cache (like your tracks are starting to become bad) then a reboot fixes it.

However, we are 100% on GPS improvement for next phase of the updates (S9)

This one should make happier the Spartans. Its the start of alignment to speed up the cadence of the updates for all

Tim4c

Updated !!!

renton82

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Sorry but I have not to thanks anyone after i paid 600€ for a watch that should have worked fine since day 1. Suunto should thanks us for our patience waiting months after months that all things MAYBE will work as they should have already worked.

Oli_Ver

@renton82 I totally agree!
But unfortunately we live in a world were it is normal that you can buy only banana products.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@renton82 what did not work for you? The zombie notification? That is the only issue for the claim of 600e?

Me too, please @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos every day an update is coming, broadcast a message so we can take our cable to work

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Oli_Ver I would really consider the tone you are using here about bananas
If you have a banana product I can easily facilitate a refund for you. Just pm me with the details and I can get your watch back to mama Suunto and your cash back to you.

You are welcome

A Former User

On my end, somehow the update failed and had to reset the watch. Not a big deal really.
On the banana products arguments, expanding the market means attracting users who are sensitive to issues that are, for some, minor.
I traded my F5 for the S9 and I dont think I made a bad choice. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. This thread is for discussing the new FW. Zombie notifications are present, let’s move on.

SlaSh

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I think he doesn’t like yellow banana watch band replace it with aubergine black
