Software update 2.12.30 Staged Release for S3/S5/S9

[Jugger]

@Brad_Olwin I don’t know if factory reset would fix this. Something is causing it and I have no idea what. Like I said before everything else is working just fine. Could new watchface cause it? I use it now. This never happened with previous version.

A bit offtopic but do I lose VO2max value or anything else if I try factory reset or can I sync everything back with Suunto app?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Jugger Vo2max wont sync back or basically anything from the Suunto app. Unfortunatly the most important you will loose is sport mode customization + zones config + body config.

Vo2max will be the same after a few of trainings at max

[Brad_Olwin]

@Jugger I assume you have tried a soft reset? A hard reset will erase settings and some history. You will restart VO2 max.

[Jugger]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos @Brad_Olwin Thank you for fast answer. It’s nothing too serious problem but annoying to see barometric graph reset occasionally. I don’t lose any activities so I can live with it.

I did few soft reset because watch got stuck in update screen even without cable.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Jugger I would suggest if it doesn’t help for a soft reset to solve this issue, a full reset. If that is an issue I’ll help you to get your watch replaced. It can be that something is not well inside there.

[Jugger]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Ok! I’ll wait still if I have to reboot again. I tried to get reboot by will but it happens only random… maybe tomorrow again. If it happens again I’ll try hard reset.

[Dušan Ković]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Yes, same reboot. I updated watch on new FW the same day it got released, did a trail run same day (everything was fine, no bugs). After that I did one mountaineering exercise on Saturday, everything worked well. And than Sunday exercise bugged out. No resets in between any of the exercises

For condensation, probably sweat, at one point I put on wind jacket.

I will try to soft reset the watch tomorrow and let you know if that fixed the issue

Funny that title of this thread includes S3, so far no one has mentioned any in regards to S3 getting any feature

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos that is good information and helpful to know, however if you use the accelerometer all the time you would be able to shorten the delay theoretically because it is more responsive on the scale we are talking - so you could still check for false positives by having the same threshold of # of data points but instead of 10s maybe 2 or 3s if rpm is 3/s which would still be 10 strides. I also don’t have a Stryd pod and would prefer the watch just did it all…The only reason I push here is that Suunto seems to be the only company with this auto functionality where many of the other S+ features match other offerings from companies…its really cool and so close to being perfect!

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

I did some testing of the new S+ features and they work really well. I’m impressed with lap precision and climb data. I hate running in circles so I won’t use laps feature but climb is really nice - NGP and grade are very informative. I only wish it was better linked with SA - I’d like to just tap a lap (climb) and see its details on the map.

It took me some time getting used to the new watch face but I think it’s interesting, although it takes some time for it to refresh, especially when picking up the watch in the morning. It’s not the most readable watch face out there but it’s well designed nonetheless.

I wish the “safe” functionality was implemented differently and be accessible from workout options when it’s needed. I don’t think it’s necessary for it to occupy a separate screen during the workout. There’s no need to cycle through it when wanting to reach different data screens or navigation but perhaps it’s just a firmware limitation and it can’t be implemented differently.

Exactly, it needs to be available on demand. Similar to,say, backlight

On SA It would be cool to have the % of the climbs when we saw it in the manual laps

I can’t see the auto laps anymore…

[Efejota]

@ink357 Yep, I thought the same when I tested the climb this weekend. The current % is awesome, It would be even more to have it in SA.

[Jugger]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Hard reset was the answer for my problem. I did it in morning and everything is working just fine. Today I tried many times if it still crashes but it doesn’t.

I think it was caused by bug or some error during install of new update. I could repeat system crash three times in 10 minutes. Crazy enough it only happened with new watch face where are both daylight and barometric ring. Reboot only happened while that certain mode was selected. No other mode or watch face caused that. Strange.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Jugger just to validate after full factory reset you are all good right ?

[Jugger]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Yes factory reset was all I need. No need to get new watch. Thanks for your help.

Fun fact: S+ Weather shows water temperature, when immersed in water in will show popup with temperature.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Is the update already out for everyone ?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@sartoric yes

[sartoric]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Ok.
A friend of mine had the notification in the app, but suuntolink did not update the S9
But I just got a message, that he got it this morning.
