Backlight

@tomas5
I would like to, but I definitely stop to use it as daily watch because of this backlight issue and because of no option to disable touch screen which has very big issue in water which means that you can not use them properly in water - shower, pool and sea and it has also significat impact on battery life https://forum.suunto.com/topic/6553/manual-lock-of-touchscreen-in-time-mode-s9baro
Therefore I am not good person to test it, I use them only for sport activities, otherwise I do not wear my S9B and they just laying down on my working table.
Therefore I would like to immediately downgrade it because it will solve this backlight issue.

Woow, nice and thank you so much.

@egika thanks, do you know how to get last 4 digits of my current firmware? I have 2.14.16 and if i give a try to new one, i would like to return back to this current version.
-
@vio112 next week this firmware will be released for suunto 5, so now when i have backup plan
i will test it myself without worrying. If it reduce battery life i will downgrade .P.S. touch screen lock is reason i bought Suunto 5 and not Suunto 9 because it would drive me nuts.

the last 4 digits are the same for everyone per watchmodel/FW version released in production.
if you have 2.12.30 on your S5 watch, you should/must have FW Monza 2.12.30.1410-J. -
@mff73 yes but i don’t have 2.12.30 but 2.14.16 and Monza-fw_2.14.16.1410-J.zip doesn’t exists. So number 1410 should be replaced for some another i think.

Current FW should be this one:

@egika thank you very much

Update was released, so i can test battery life. Now backlight is enabled on every button press. Really curious how it will drain battery.
-
I really really dislike this “feature”. The toggle function was much better. So please update me, if the downgrade worked @vio112
Thanks!But why does the “backlight on / off” function is still in the quick menu? It has then no function…
-
@theguyfromthesummit it has a function. It runs the backlight on , not the standby light on.
-
In my case not, or I do sth wrong.
Backlight: low
Standby: off
Raise the wake: off
Do not disturb: offquick menu backlight: on/ off does not change anything
Light is only on, when I push a button (so like standby was before the update) and the old tab to toggle on/ off does not workBacklight: low
Standby: on
Raise the wake: off
Do not disturbe: offquick menu backlight: on/ off does not change anything
No matter what I do, the light is always on. -
I just did the “downgrade”. It worked fine but then it was as if the watch is new. I had to re-enter my personal data and re-create my custom exercises. Not a big deal.
What does bother me is that Suntolink and the app keep telling me that there is a new version to install.

@pikeviewer thanks for the info, I might downgrade mine on the weekend.
Unfortunately “snap to route” is a nice function …
