@pierre-lellig
Ok - that is a good start.
you have the info on tiles, also a good idea to read the sticky as excessive battery consumptions could be due to losing bluetooth connection (need to make sure android isn’t killing wear os app and hence you bluetooth connection). Make sure your play store is set to manual update (there have beeen loads of updates, these can drain battery hence I prefer to manage when I perform them so I can manage battery).
have you tried restarting watch - can often solve battery glitches.

What watch face are you using - some are much heavier pm battery than others, especially if have custom ambient screen settings (if so change to minimum for ambient).
Are you using AOD on/off?
What gesture settings are you using? I find that tilt to wake uses battery for me, due to my wrist movements, so have that off. Touch to wake on. If using a suunto face, am ok with power save tilt on, with AOD off - as even with my excessive wrist movement, its shows face in ambient so still using low power coprocessor and still lower consumption than @
Are you using Gesture navigation?
Is OK Google on?
All of these can have a major impact on battery life.

As a general rule with AOD on, touch to wake on, tilt to wake off, nav gestures off, recovery/sleep/24/7HR on, you should be between 2-3% battery usage per hour depending on watch face and usage (my normal is around 2.6%). With AOD off, suunto watch face, tilt to wake off, power save tilt on, touch to wake on, nav gestures off, recovery/sleep/24/7HR on I am getting just under 2% per hour. Prior to update i.e. without recovery/sleep/24/7HR on it used to be around 2% and 1.5% respectively.

I have a problem with Komoot integration.

I linked my Komoot account in Suunto app, made a route in Komoot but the flag button for routes library is missing from my Suunto app.

I’m I doing something wrong ?
How can I import the Komoot route in Suunto app ?
I’m using Suunto App 4.39 beta

This is the missing button

isazi · 28 Apr 2021, 14:30

@steff what you show does not look like Android, I do not have that button either.

Egika · 28 Apr 2021, 14:40

@pilleus what you can check: in gestue settings, there are two switches.

tilt to wake
tilt to ambient mode

if the first switch is on, the second is deactivated.
While it is deacivated, maybe it is still on?
Then try to switch off 1. , then switch off 2. and switch 1. back on.

See if it has an effect?

Steff · 28 Apr 2021, 14:44

@isazi and how do you import Komoot routes on Android ?

I’m also on Android, that picture was taken from the dc rainmaker review.

isazi · 28 Apr 2021, 14:46

@steff have you checked the manual?

Steff · 28 Apr 2021, 15:05

@isazi yes, I checked, no mention about the Komoot integration introduced in the latest update.

All I found is this https://www.suunto.com/partners/komoot/ which only says “Just plan your route on komoot and sync with your Suunto watch to get started!”. No instructions on how to sync it.

I also check this https://support.komoot.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059177271-Connection-with-Suunto-Watches
I have the region unlocked, the tour saved in Planned tours but it still does not appear in the Suunto app

If I’m missing something please tell me.

@pierre-lellig 10% in 30’ is a lot.
You can see on my previous captures.
2% drainned in 23’ fully connected, with all features actives and using the S7 during this time in the morning with the display ON.

@martin-vrska It’s automatic, the images started to display and change during the day.

@pilleus Sorry, my bad, I not note about Factory Reset.

Brad_Olwin · 28 Apr 2021, 15:30

@steff All you need to do is connect Komoot with the Suunto App, plan a route in Komoot. In SA under routes the Komoot route will appear and you can then toggle the route to load into the watch. That is it. Just saw your other issue on iOS. If you have no routes in SA, just draw a placeholder route, that should make it work. You need to be on the latest beta SA app as well.

Steff · 28 Apr 2021, 16:00

@brad_olwin Do I need a premium Komoot account?
Maybe here is the problem.

I have the free Komoot account with 2 free regions unlocked and the route is in one of them.

I double checked now and the Komoot route does not appear in Suunto app, Routes tab.

Been there, done that. No effect. I tried all combinations before resetting the watch and afterwards too.

Steff · 28 Apr 2021, 18:11

@steff I made a few other routes in Komoot and suddenly they started to appear in Suunto app.

The first created routes still do not appear in Suunto app but new routes do, so the problem it’s fixed.

Yesterday near sunset I got another picture now. Dimmed with the sun near the sunset point. The first time after four days. May be it was the first sunset this week …

Just to be sure. This and the same dimmed screen at sunrise are the only changes to the background? Over the day there is only the blue sky in the upper half and the black area in the bottom half? No changes for rainy days?

according to my experience the pictures itself changes between sunrise (sun on the left - at least in northern hemisphere), day, sunset (sun on the right) and night.

What also changes is the angle and height of the sun based on your latitude and day of year. It’s really gimmicky

ianharding · 29 Apr 2021, 08:30

@flypg Brilliant! The solstice background was black at least 50% of the time. Changed developer options to enable animations and now it’s in colour every time

Martin Vrska · 29 Apr 2021, 11:34

@ianharding Where do I change developer options, please?

Egika · 29 Apr 2021, 11:56

@ianharding that is strange, as those animations should be enabled by default and from the factory.

They are animated by default. Only if you enable developer options and change all the animation settings to “0” or “off”, there is no coloured background and the Solstice watchface remains black.

“1x” is the standard option.

Egika · 29 Apr 2021, 12:10

@pilleus that means there must be another reason for your Solstice not working…

I think it is working now as expected, because yesterday in the evening I got a dimmed background image with a sun near the point of sunset. If the watch face does not show different images than the bright one all over the day and the dimmed one on sunrise and sunset and a black one at night, all should be okay.
