S9 Baro takes very long to find GPS signal before a move

[A Former User]

@inkognito Ok, when I will next time waiting, I will try it. Thank you.

[Phil Powell]

@isazi just checked and it’s showing yesterday’s date from when I last synced it. Doesn’t seem to have auto updated the agps

[Phil Powell]

@Phil-Powell also has an occasional issue where it’s turned itself off completely. Was like that out of the box and has done it twice. At the moment screen is completely blank and if you hold top right button for soft reset it beeps but that’s it

@MaxiPalle I have noticed that my AGPS file hasn’t been updated since december 18th. Soft reset and reinstallation of the app hasn’t resolved the issue. The app tries to optimize GPS every sync but it never shows up on the watch. Now it says that AGPS is n/a on the watch. Can anyone help?

[Phil Powell]

@Richard-Thygesen mine has completely turned itself off. Managed to get a display back by holding soft reset button a few times. But now is also showing assisted gps not available

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Richard-Thygesen the watch needs approx. 15 minutes to unpack the data after it finishes syncing. Did you wait long enough before checking if AGPS is fresh?

[Richard Thygesen]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel yes I have waited way more than 15 minutes.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Richard-Thygesen this shouldn’t happen then. Do you have latest firmware and Suunto App installed?

[Richard Thygesen]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel yes the most recent firmware and the most recent beta version of the app.

[Richard Thygesen]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel This is how it looks on the watch.

[Phil Powell]

@Richard-Thygesen I’ve just called Suunto support and gone through a factory reset with them. Seems to ok again now fingers crossed

[Richard Thygesen]

@Phil-Powell Perhaps a hard reset is all that is left to do for me also.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Let me help. If you are on latest software it will show processing once the sync is done.

I am suspecting that sony has issues with updating the agps. Reporting this.

[Richard Thygesen]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos on the app is says optimizing GPS after syncing activities and resources etc. It takes a fairly long time and when its done I see a green check mark. It does this every sync. I think it only did the optimizing GPS once a day before this issue occurd.

[Richard Thygesen]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos now I have the newest A-GPS file. Not sure if it is related but after changing the setting to GPS only an syncing I got the file.

@Richard-Thygesen This happened to me as well a couple of days ago. Did the same as Richard Thygesen. Changed to gps only and Agps updated almost directly.

[Phil Powell]

@helgonet12 how do you change to gps only. Is it the gps qzs ?

[Richard Thygesen]

@Phil-Powell yes thats the one, GPS+ qzss

[Phil Powell]

@Richard-Thygesen that’s what mine was already set on. Since doing the factory reset it seems to be working 100% quicker/better so far

[helgonet12]

@Phil-Powell I meant GPS+ qzss sorry.
