Some inspiration how proper backlight settings can looks like. https://youtu.be/4V93hjP2eYk
Gesture (rise to wake) on/off/after sunset
Buttons on/off/after sunset
Alerts-notifications on/off/after sunset
And regardless of settings possibility to enable backlight with upper left button.

@skydancer I had the same reset experience with my S9B for 2.18.18 as did another user, lost all my custom sports, fortunately it installed the hotfix 20.18.20 without restarting.

I had the same experience with my Suunto 9 with the 2.18.20. The *.20 Update forced a hard reset, deleted all custom sports, and additionalky now I somehow have a permanent background illumination of the watch, even a softreset did not work. So I activated energy saving, without any light. Far from perfect, but at least the battery might last longer. All in all it seems to be a nice update - and the Burner-option is the first Suunto Plus I have used. The permanent lighting is annoying.

@shrek3k did you check if you have standby light permanently on?

@isazi so I did the update to latest firmware. It failed. All my data was deleted. All my custom sport modes, all settings… again… this is so frustrating…

Thanks! Obviously reactivated during the update and I did not notice it … this problem is solved.

Hi, should I upgrade to 2.18.20 or will there be another replacement for this version? I read that some update does a watch reset.

@durri I did the initial update with no real issues (apart from an additional screen appearing in one of my custom workouts which I was able to remove through the SA). Then I got the notification that there was a second update for bug fixes; when I synced my S9B to my laptop I got a big red alert telling me that my watch would be reset and all data would be erased. Luckily I got the option to accept rather than the update just automatically starting else I would have been pretty annoyed to lose everything

I unplugged the watch, closed SuuntoLink and then restarted it before plugging the watch back in. This time the update went fine and I didn’t get an “all data will be erased” message

@miniforklift perhaps too late but could you send logs. ?

The same applies for other people that had the same.

MiniForklift

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I’ve never sent logs before but I just sent them through SuuntoLink and it says that they have gone. Log ID number is 3635737897018281

Hi, my S9B doesn’t show the temperature and does not recording it in Openwater swimming, after the last update.
In other sports modes it works properly.
Is there something different?

Durri

@durri Updated today 2.18.20, no problem with resetting the watch. Everything went as it should

Chronbu

Hi, is there any firwmare update (2.18.20) for S9P, or only for S9 and S9B ?

isazi

Any word on whether any Suunto watch will get manual swim lap/drills function back?

DMytro

Btw I think I’ve spotted a bug on my S9:
Sometimes when I wait for GPS lock it takes ages, but I suspect that it’s just an icon bug - if I scroll down and then up again, thus resetting both GPS and HR acquisition animation, the former signal gets acquired almost at the same instant.

inkognito

@dmytro I confirm this. It is not related only to the last firmware version. It was present already years ago. I even remember this from my Spartan Trainer.
