SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.19.42 January 27, 2022
-
One thing I’m curious about: it seems wings for life and redbul xalps suunto plus have expired, how come? I think wings for life was a fun one.
-
@dmytro there was a contract in place between the organizers and Suunto that expired. Maybe will come back in the future (wings for life), while the x-alps app has been unbranded and renamed as “variometer”.
-
I wonder - how will the new ascent / descent algo work on S5? Will it show absurdities due to poor accuracy of GPS based altitude, or is it still being filtered?
-
Very much appreciated. Thank you.
-
@łukasz-szmigiel is it still being filtered, and has been tested for a while. Do not expect miracles from a non baro devices, but ascent/descent is a bit better.
-
Suuntolink tells me I need to sync to SA before the update. I synced with SA multiple times, also reset the watch, but still the same. Should I worry about update failure and watch reset because of that?
-
Downloaded and installed update faster than drinking a morning coffee. Well done.
-
@halajos I believe that is a standard message to tell you that if you have activities not synced they’ll be lost.
-
-
@łukasz-szmigiel I do not think so, but will be fixed if it wasn’t.
-
Looks really promising for the future. And I can get rid of those S+ that I never use XD
-
@isazi just to be sure, I still need to manually select the S+ every time I go for run? Right?
-
@markytarky still yes
-
@markytarky Yes I am afraid.
As I understand, you can only shorten the list of S+ app in the watch but it doesn’t change anything else.
I thought we would have been able to assign S+ app automatically for each sport mode but maybe it is not yet the case.
Anyway, thanks for the update.
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos thanks. It would be nice to have the ability to use it as a permanent screen to sport mode, but I’m sure that request is already there.
-
@v-sacre me too, but let’s hope this will come as well…some day.
-
@isazi thanks, the update went fine.
-
SA (Android 4.51.4) doesn’t show SuuntoPlus features, just a link to the S+ feaures on Suunto web pages. The watch is S9B, just updated now.
-
@halajos restart the app.
-
