SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.19.42 January 27, 2022

[Stefan Kersting]

@isazi does the new algorithm work just for predefined green workouts or for user defined settings too?

[DMytro]

Bug or a feature?
I have noticed that my custom sports mode always defaults to custom battery mode. In the past, if I remember correctly, every sports mode would default to the last chosen battery setting.

[surfboomerang]

@dmytro No, it has always been this way. If custom differs from one of the standard profiles it would always default to custom.

[DMytro]

@surfboomerang just for custom sport or for any?

[surfboomerang]

@dmytro Just tried it for a standard sport mode. Same behavior

[DMytro]

@surfboomerang alright, thanks. I thought it was different before.

[DMytro]

On the other note: 3 days after I charged my watch and I still have 53% in my S9. Beforehand I charged every 3-4 days, now it seems I can do 5-6 days. Anyone else experiencing huge battery improvements?

[cosme.costa]

@dmytro I do!

[freeheeler]

@dmytro
I do, too

[surfboomerang]

@dmytro Same here!

[DMytro]

Cool stuff, thanks suunto!

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.

Did you find solution to fix the issue? I did not. Soft or hard reset did not help neither did Suunto supports advice to put it in some “deep sleep” -mode. So just sent the watch to service. Let’s see what they are able to do.

[isazi]

@stefan-kersting you mean the new ascent algorithm? I think it works for everything.

[Stefan Kersting]

@isazi yes, I think I read something about that the new algo just worked with the standard activities. that did not seem logical to me. more logical that you are saying

[Egika]

@stefan-kersting there was a change in the standard hiking profile. Maybe you are mixing this? It was defaulting to auto-profile (resulting in long flats when going up at a very low rate), this was changed to baroalti-profile. Custom hiking always had been baro anyway…

[isazi]

@egika you mean alti

[freeheeler]

@isazi
I guess these 2 bullets caused a bit of confusion

[Lukas179]

@jtahka No I didn’t find a solution. Probably I also have to send it to service.

[Stefan Kersting]

@egika I think now I catchend the point. As @freeheeler mentioned the info was maybe a little bit confusing to me

[Tomas5]

@stefan-kersting it just need to be resurected. Suunto already had button lock on Ambit Series.
