Did you eventually try this?

You could also try with another phone (android or iOS), ot last chance, get another S3 and test (from someone else or buy on to send it back after tests (no nice but…)).

Good luck.

Yes I did (https://forum.suunto.com/topic/6001/suunto-fitness-3-not-recording-gps-data/5), but it did not solve my problem.

I have not tried another phone yet, but I think I’ll give it a try, just to make sure (although I am pretty sure it will because most of the issues with S3 and smartphones seem to be caused by smartphone rather than S3 - at least that’s what I found when searching the web)

Thanks anyway.

@benjamin-ulmer same problem here
as you can see about 13km but only few meters tracked by gps
all app’s permissions are set correctly

Ok,another running today and now I have zero gps data !
I checked before start the excercise to see the GPS arrow on my watch.
The only difference with my last excercise is the new version of the android app (4.51.5)
So for me the Gps problem is due to the android app

Please fix it

I don’t think that Suunto can fix the battery saving behavior of any phones.
I saw the same thing on my daughter’s watch (or let’s better say Huawei phone), but since she doesn’t want to track gps data, I did not further dig into it.

@freeheeler i think i found a hidden setting in my Redmi Note 9…
will try to see if it’s working

Last gasp attempt is open the suunto app - press button/screen swipe (whatever you have to do) to get open app list/cards. Long press on the suunto card and you should get an option to lock it. Press lock - it has now locked it in background memory and shouldn’t close the app. If it is doing this you need to check the profiles options that the Redmi has - as from what I can remember it has certain profiles that can lock down pretty much everything (irrespective of normal settings).

@freeheeler it worked!
