@cosme-costa Thanks you for the valuable info.

I have experienced a bug where after turning off several S+ options and then choosing one for an activity my breadcrumb screen was locked to be a minimum of 500km radius. it would zoom out to 1000km but not closer than 500km, making it useless.

@egika
@freeheeler sure thing

It was not specifically mentioned, but was there some fixes in GPS accuracy? My settings are the same, same running track (track and field sport) and track is significantly better

Old firmware:

New firmware:

This is a smaller track only 250m with building on south side so I don’t expect perfect results. But I must say good job! I hope this was not coincidence today btw I’m using GPS + BEIDOU option.

Maybe a bug in the new software:

If a call comes in, the vibration ends after a short time. Before it takes as long as the call comes in.

Had no one else recognized that?

@mitch9 I have this since I switched from the S9B to S9P so no change for me in the last firmware

I liked the “vibrate as long as the call comes in” a lot more though. Hopefully it’s coming back in a future firmware update

@nseslija I know that you are using the default mode, so I cannot comment on that, but in my custom mode has not changed and it works as before.

This “feature” is not good and should be changed to the old version!

@mitch9
or let’s have it customizable… some like long vibration, some prefer a brief vibration

[surfboomerang]

@freeheeler Giving people a choice is always welcome. But it is more work for a Suunto dev I suppose.
(so less time to work on a lock button)

[freeheeler]

@surfboomerang
you’re right… we don’t want that! hope they set priorities wisely

interesting. My S9B turns on light by moving / gesture, but doesn’t turn on display. But by pressing buttons, I can turn on display. Never had this before update and first time today…

After soft reset gone… maybe only once randomly

Update is great…

[fluca]

@wmichi That would be nice…

@mitch9 Same here, but to me looks like it was the same before with the previous firmware 2.18

Hi,
“Ghost notifications auto cleanup 48h” - This still doesn’t work for me. What is your experience?

[surfboomerang]

@pavlas I’m not sure. Haven’t payed much attention to it yet.
I have only one missed call notification at the moment which would exceed the 48hrs threshold this evening. I’ll keep you informed

In my memory the call notification of the previous firmware was different? Or does it depends on SA?

Can someone give some facts? Or should I start an extra topic?

@mountainchris Hi Chris! My Suunto 9 Baro has done that a few times in the past but it hasn’t done it in a while. I think it’s something that happens every once in a while with Standby mode and Raise to Wake. I personally disabled them both because I simply don’t like the feature. However it is a nice addition in case I want to enable Raise to Wake.

S9B, up-to-date, sport mode biking (custom), S+ (variometer) running in the background (choosed the screen from time to time to look how it is working)

After an hour and two minutes moving time the recording of the activity stopped immediately and I only saw the watch face without any warning or question to save the activity. I am not sure, if the watch rebooted, because there was traffic and a small road.

I started a new activity and recognised that the autostop function does stop on a red traffic light, but did not start again. I had to press the upper button to continue.

The first part of the activity was stored and synced to Suunto app, the second part I stopped at home and it also synced to Suunto app.

I never had this before.

Since the software update, the battery of my Suunto 9 Baro is draining really fast (completely dead in less than 24hrs without exercising). Neither soft nor hard reset has helped so far. Has anyone experienced similar problems? Any suggestions?
Suunto chat support operating times are unfortunately not very user-friendly if you have to work 9 to 5.
