From the manual
Automatic backlight
The backlight has three features that you can adjust: the level of brightness (Brightness), how the standby backlight activates (Standby), and whether the backlight activates when you raise and turn your wrist (Raise to wake).

The backlight features can be adjusted from the settings under General » Backlight.

The Brightness setting determines the overall intensity of the backlight; Low, Medium or High.

The Standby setting controls the screen brightness when there is no active backlight turned on (e.g. triggered by button presses). Standby can be toggled to on or off:
On: Standby light is on all the time.
Off: Standby light is off.

The Raise to wake feature activates the backlight when raising your wrist to look at the watch. The three options for Raise to wake are:

High: Raising your wrist activates high intensity backlight
Low: Raising your wrist activates low intensity backlight. Note that this intensity is same as standby intensity, i.e. if standby light is set to ON, raising your wrist will not change the light.
Off: Raising your wrist does nothing

I need to double check. I was convinced I notice it reducing the reactivity
edit: ok, another test gave another impression
… wishful thinking

Today is the first - since SV arrived - when we have clear sky here in Hungary. The weather forecast shows this for the coming night.
Is this by design or a bug?
(I mean sun icon can see for the whole night. I think a moon would be better choice.

@kamarasm It’s always sunny in ~~Philadelphia~~ Hungary.

kamarasm

@NickK Would be fine, but not.

isazi

@kamarasm known, the “clear sky” icon is a sun, even for the night

kamarasm

@isazi is there a plan to change it in the future?

I don’t want to create a new entry, but I think there’s a map bug. There are currently two New York states in the United States, one is slightly bigger than the other.

List with New York and New-York:

Two states that look fairly similar:

Sorry, had a quick search and can’t find the solution. What’s the deal if you’re just getting that awful grid in the background of a map? I tried loading up a route - which I can see but the only background behind it is a grid. No colours, markings… nothing. Updates have all been done and everything else seems okay, thanks in advance

herlas

@Likarnik this is the screen we got when configuring the power zones, number was not displayed and when trying to exit, stuck on this message, 12 sec restart did it here to.

@MiniForklift first check this thread https://forum.suunto.com/topic/8851/no-map-problem/

Thanks, yeah I have read through all of that thread but I’m obviously missing something. Even with GPS and Wifi I can’t get even a sniff of a map on the screen. I’m sure it’s likely user error rather than the watch but I’m not exactly sure what I’m not doing right as most people have seem to have found the maps pretty easy and intuitive

kamarasm

During this morning training session I faced a very interesting behaviour.
I could ran out from the map

Got the feeling that this is just a render problem, so tried to:

zoom in, zoom out,
scroll on the map,
change display,
pause activity,
stop running and wait a bit,
but nothing helped.
Then - almost 20 mins, magically I putted back to the map and worked fluently until end of my session.
Have anybody met with this?

isazi

@kamarasm can you send where this happened, possibly with coordinates?

surfboomerang

@isazi do you want this information for every occurrence?

kamarasm

@isazi it was here: 47,59863° N, 18,98694° E

isazi

@surfboomerang if there are spots where the maps don’t work, send logs (right after the activity) and share coordinates

surfboomerang

@isazi will do

Likarnik

@herlas yes, this is the screen.

Another possible bug. I was weight training and put my Vertical on a shelf next to me as I always did with my S9B and S9P. I checked my hr every couple of minutes (screen went blank), but after certain time no hr was shown, only --. I was using H10 and was never more than 2m away. I could not to get it to work, so I ended activity and start new one, same belt, same position and it started measuring hr without problems. I was picking up my watch more often (prevent deep sleep?) and it went ok till end of my workout. Did it go to deep sleep and forget to measure hr? Never happened with previous watches when I did workouts up to 1.5h. Anyone else with this problem? I’ll try to reproduce it…

A Former User

@Likarnik Did happen to me several times with S9B a few years ago. First it would cut out, then report erratic measurements. In my case H10 died several sessions later. I’m talking pod, not a strap.

Not saying this is your problem, but could be strap related and not a watch.
