Hotfix 2.23.24

Beepi · 5 Apr 2023, 13:39

@isazi I have tried it all: soft reset, hard reset, downgrading, removing-adding apps, but it’s always the same… I have the 9baro though…

@Beepi It worked for me…

Beepi · 6 Apr 2023, 07:35

@nseslija having to reset saggests that not the app is foulty but the integration of the app with some sport modes… I use it for example in connection with the sport mode for cross country skiing…

nseslija · 6 Apr 2023, 13:00

@Beepi I use it in custom cycling sport mode. I don’t think it is sport mode related, don’t sure… I noticed that it has stopped working after the SA update once …maybe just coincidence…

Beepi · 8 Apr 2023, 14:02

@nseslija bug was introduced with the software version 2.20.30… I had no problems before…

Hi
This hotfix is just for suunto 9 and not for suunto 9 peak ? Same bugs are available in suunto 9 peak I think.
Thanks

@lgranjon yes this is for S9 and S9 baro.

Interestingly, I just got a notification of the upgrade (4 weeks after it was released!). I never had the problem, so I wasn’t looking for this fix. But it is interesting why suddenly the SA decided to notify me.

MdzOtt · 7 May 2023, 01:54

Even more interesting is that after the hotfix was applied, the SuuntoLink forced me to reset the watch and I lost all the customisation I made so far (e.g. Sports Modes).
This is yet another reason why SA should enable some sort of backup of the watch.

Edit: Nvm. Got it from a different thread!

Worst update ever! Screwed up my S9 so bad. Crashes during the activity and keeps resetting. Anyone have a link for the previous update to downgrade?

Wilson75 · 15 May 2023, 16:25

@Nic-Puia weird. Since I updated my s9b no crashes anymore.

Same here! No more crashes!

@Mitch9
I think I hard reset it and updated it 5 times, both 2.23.20 and 2.23.24 versions.
With 2.23.20, it acquires the GPS but still crashes. With 2.23.24 can’t acquire it at all and eventually crashes in couple minutes while trying to acquire it.
It all started after I updated it first time to 2.23.24 last night.
I’m stuck at this point, it crashes every time on either version.
I just need to wait for another fw update release I guess. Hope it happens soon.

Or maybe your watch has some defect which started at the time you updated it.

@André-Faria
Could be. Just started last night after I updated. I should have stayed away.
It worked flawlessly up until then. It’s something to do with the GPS, I can see it flashing, looking for signal, when I start an activity and within 1 min it crashes showing the down arrow on the screen right after.
Basically it’s useless right now, I can look at the sun and tell what time it is. LOL

Maybe try the reset/firmware flashing in another pc, be sure to then sync it, allow 10-15, and then go outside to try to get a fix.

@André-Faria
Yeah, I’ll try that.
I removed all the S+ apps as well. It’s clean. I don’t know, spent all day on this, tired already.

Edit: Ended up updating it to 2.20.28 and it looks it acquires GPS fine now without crashing. I’ll go out in a bit and check it out on a walk. Hope it doesn’t crash. Fingers crossed.

Good news, 6k of walking, no crashes, no issues, notifications on, GPS on all the time. I’ll stay on 2.20.28 for now. It seems to be stable, not affected by any bug. I guess 2.20.30 somehow is affected as well once you update to 2.23.24, going back didn’t work for me. Happy I got my watch back!

Look who’s the most exhausted.

@Nic-Puia
I agree with @André-Faria it must be a defect that started most likely coincidentally at the same time when you updated to the latest firmware…

Nic Puia · 16 May 2023, 03:59

@freeheeler
Guess so.

Glad you have your watch up and running. Test for a few more days and maybe try again to update
