    @slashas said in Parallel use with MC App:

    I use both in parallel at the same time without pairing watch to apps, just made sure that I do not run both at the same time and MC is having background app refresh off. When I want to sync workout to MC I just kill suunto app and starting MC after sync completes killing the MC.

    nice

      @jarlin yup, I’ve always used SportsTracker app on phone as I much prefer it to Movescount…it now (in UK at least) has Salomon competitions and news embedded along with a few other tweaks last few weeks.

      I was so happy that SA seemed to be basically “SportsTracker + Sync” initially (which is the holy grail as far as I was concerned!)…but seems that’s just a temporary situation. 😔

        @slashas I am confused, if the watch is not paired, it does not show up in the app and will not sync, correct? This is iOS I am referring to.

          @brad_olwin what I did is only forgot watch on the MC and it reappeared again after relaunch of Mc app and works till now with suunto app in parallel. I haven’t read suunto app installation guide 🙂

            @slashas ahhhh, to forget the watch completely it asks you to go into BT settings and forget…this will unpair from the iPhone. I had not thought of your trick. Kudos!!! I will try this out. and Thanks. This should help @jarlin

              Tried this several times on iOS, and unpairing and pairing every time worked for me, but yes, it was a pain to do every time.

                My Android phone is rooted, so I only freeze one app while using the other and vice versa.

                  @jthomi I have been trying too and am required to pair and unpair as well. I will delete MC and just use the cable for MC sync. Happy with that.

                        @slashas same for me. Both apps installed on my iPhone and syncing every activity with both apps through the phone with no need to forget watch nor pair every time. I just close the first app after syncing and then start the other app and sync, no matter what order I use for syncing.

                          hm, might have to test that again, I was doing that in the very beginning of the beta phase…

                              @jthomi Ok, it did not work the first time but now both apps there. It seems only to work for me if I force quit after syncing with MC then open Suunto and it is working…Cool, I can now do everything from my iPhone…if only I could get the phone to do the running intervals for me and still get the benefit…

                                  i use android and i unpaired the watch and closed movescount app, because suunto app didn’t recognize the existing connection to my watch.

                                  then i logged in to suunto app & paired the watch and let it sync.
                                  in the end i always get an error that syncing failed!

                                  ok, then i closed suunto app again and started movescount app and it also synced without having to pair my watch again to movescount.

                                  but since i played around i get no notification from movescount anymore 😞
                                  i freezed suunto app with titanium backup, used different profiles for the 2 apps, and so on.
                                  finally i uninstalled suunto app again and re-paired my watch to movescount again.
                                  but still no notification 😞
                                  i guess i have to install the whole sh*** from scratch to get it working again.

                                    @asdf123 we have provided guide for the iOS, android is different story, try to create additional profile and install MC there 😉

                                      @slashas as i wrote, i used different profiles too
                                      syncing would work, except the “sync error message” in suunto app, but i lost notifications.

                                      uninstalled suunto app, re-paired movescount and finally did a reboot of the phone.
                                      now notifcations are working again.
                                      as i want/need (selected) notifications i decided to stay with movescount as long as suunto app doesn’t provide at least same features as movescount has (selecting notifications, changing settings on watch,…)

                                        @asdf123 you cant blame suunto app yet as it is in beta phase, so you accept what it is having now or use MC instead 😉
                                        Suunto app + suuntolink works without an issue as per user guide which is already provided when you joining beta. What we doing here is just another workaround.

                                          Did you read my proposal? First you have to pair via mc else mc won’t see the watch.
