Software update 2.11.38 for S5/S9

@sartoric Actually, these wristbands are not designed to keep your wrists warm. Oddly enough, because the wrists do not get cold so fast, these wrist bands (from X-bionic) are supposed to regulate the heat flow from the wrists in order to cool you down (so called, evaporation cooling effect ). That’s the theory according to the company. It’s science, man!

[sartoric]

@Alejandro
Yep, I know, but remember “It cools when you sweat. It warms when you are cold”

[___Alejandro___]

@sartoric Ah! Yes, I see…

@surfboomerang I went for a walk today on my stanard route using Beidou, and the track is much better then the first three were prior the reset. it was on the same level like good tracks with the previous firmware. If I’m able to I will do the same walk tomorrow… The hiking is now impossible, the cycling is questionable… but with this couple of walks (flat) it seems that Fusdalti is improved…

@Michał-Rudzki from IG Suunto’s reply about future of Spartan line:

It is quite clear what it means (at least to me).

@nseslija … about bad tracks and restart…

Strange. I never had a bad track on my S9 and never had to reset the watch. Never…
My S9 runs like a machine. Precision built-in…

[surfboomerang]

@nseslija I will try to hard-reset the watch tomorrow. See if that solves the issue

[nseslija]

@mountainChris Between upgrade and clean install I will always choose clean install… this things can happen…If it is an upgrade issue at all…
Regarding the S9B… yes, it is a good watch, accurate and reliable , I really like it…

[nseslija]

@surfboomerang I am still not sure if it’s the hard reset that changes things for the better. If it is not a bother for you give it a try…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@surfboomerang no hard reset is needed to improve GPS etc. That is placebo

[surfboomerang]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Ok, thanks… saves me a lot of time

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@surfboomerang yup buddy no need todo. However, a soft reset aka reboot could help in case anything in the system is going wonkers.

A reboot wipes the GPS’s chips internal memery of AGPS data and it’s own cache.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos how do I force an update of the AGPS data (i.e. after a soft reset)? Sync with Suunto App, “Soak” data from the satellites by going into prestart mode for some xxx minutes (12.5 minutes I think to remember is the minimum possible - checked: https://www.novatel.com/support/known-solutions/gnss-ephemerides-and-almanacs/)?

[Egika]

@johann-fuehrer yes. Sync with the app. After transferring the AGPS data to the watch, the watch needs a few minutes to unzip the data and have it ready to use.

@mountainChris Thanks for the tip. That might also explain why my average OHR is lower when cycling than running. Will try the wristband next time.

@nseslija , @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
What is the difference between reset and restart?
hard reset = new installation of fw
restart = 12 s top right button
That’s right?

Are you planning to add a custom display with green altitude graph for workout? Now I can only add a red graph for altitude (designed for HR graph) that shows the last few minutes? I would like to see the graph of altitude over the last 2 hours for example. How it worked for Suunto Ambit3 Peak or Ambit2. Thank you!

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Rob33 correct

I think you can add a custom graph for altitude in the custom sport profiles. But I agree - extending the timeline of the HR/altitude/other graphs from 5min to the workout duration would be great!!! They are pretty much useless as they are now The last 5min isn’t very useable data - especially with altitude

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos If I understood correctly, it might be interesting to restart to get better GPS accuracy, but a reset should have no effect?
