Firmware 2.20.28 Battery drain
-
Ahh, very cool! Thanks! Didn’t know all the details were here. Nice

Hi,
I have the same issue with 2.20.30
Not sure if it was related to me not wearing the watch, but before the firmware update I could wear it for more than a week, then I noticed that it lost more than 30% in one day without any activity at all from my side. I don’t have sleep tracking enabled.
I have noted down the battery level for today and will see how it evolves over the next days and report back.
Will this be fixed in a new firmware?
Thanks -
@thibaut
did you empty the battery, fully charge the watch and then do a 12s soft reset? -
Just as a reminder, a couple of days after the last firmware update my S9B got stuck on a black screen, and I had to soft reset it. Not a problem at all (it hasn’t resurfaced) but after the soft reset I experienced tremendous battery drain during the day, but none during night, and also non in battery saving mode (when the watch is on its last %) . Turned out that somehow (probably when I was trying to solve the black screen issue) illumination was set to always on. Sometimes the solution is rather obvious, duh.

big battery drain until 2.20.30 (running 2h with 14% battery down) and no more WHR (because tattooed on both wrists)… unbelievable disaster work in 2022 from suunto.

but did it become better with 2.20.30?living sideways
-
@set_218 Sorry, I can’t confirm.
1 week since last charge, with 4 hrs of windsurfing and 3 hrs of running, and the watch is down to 51%
-
@surfboomerang
similar here… no wind, no surfin… but battery in a 3 year old watch is within reason
-
I did not yet do the soft reset. I will do when it reaches 0% then and I charge it to the 100%.
Also the backlight is turned off.I did go running this afternoon and the battery dropped down 10% for a 1:38 run. I never really paid attention before how much energy a run would take, but it feels much higher than before.
-
no. also with the 2.20.30 update the battery status is a disaster. like the first big update years ago on the spartan series.
load the S9P on 99% yesterday 5pm. no sports or activity. just wearing it 24/7 with whr + sleep counter. Now -> 86%

no… not now. i am reading this solution too late… hope it will work.
-
@set_218
I’m sure it will living sideways

Let it dry out of battery and charge full.
Usually it should waste 20% per day max with backlight on (adaptive) many notifications and all 24/7 tracking on
Consumption per hour of gps + whr should be around 4%
-
Hi,
I wrote before that my backlight was not on, but this was wrong. I just didn’t see it as it was set to low.The update must have changed my backlight settings. I turned the backlight off and the battery usage seems to have returned to normal usage
Thanks everyone for their help
-
It just work now after full reload and reset. (MusicControl and Notification off) …
But the whr with my tattooed arm don‘t work anymore since the Update. -
@set_218 Suunto is investigating the tattoo issue, hopefully they’ll find a solution.
