HotFix release 2.25.66

[Brad_Olwin]

@lexterm77 I have seen this a couple times but cannot reliably replicate it. A watch reboot should fix it.

[unocz]

So i got the new fix but my watch always count only 7 or 9 meters of swimming…
Any ideas?

[freeheeler]

@unocz
what swim style do you practise?

[unocz]

@freeheeler Open water swimming (basic)

[freeheeler]

@unocz
this is the selected sport mode, as I understand.
I just wonder if you did a simple breaststroke (hands always in the water) or freestyle (hands out of the water to move them forward again)?

[Highlands]

@unocz I swam today. When your hand is in the water, you lose the gps connection. Now and then you have to get hand out of the water at surface.

[unocz]

@freeheeler

Just the normal swimming with hands under the water all the time ….

[unocz]

@Highlands
But that’s a joke or? That means it’s impossible to record your track while swimming. It tought this update should fix it. Older models don’t got that problem or?

[sartoric]

@unocz
In fact, if you keep your watch always under water there is no way for the GPS signal to reach it.

[unocz]

@sartoric

Wow, ok so I have to deal with that….
Thanks anyway

[freeheeler]

@unocz
yes, but that’s the same for every watch.
satellite signals do not enter the water at all. no chance to calculate your position when the watch is submerged only a tiny little bit

[unocz]

@freeheeler
Yes I just realised that

[freeheeler]

@unocz
what you could do, if you prefer breaststroke, get an inflatable safety buoy with a small wallet compartment and put the watch in there. of course you need external HR and stroke will not be counted, but distance will be correct. downside: you can’t see your time and distance during the activity.
alternatively put the phone in there and track with SA?

I got another crash, Had battery performance, target distance, heart rate z1, S+ weather insights and active look, breadcrumb nav, it crashed exactly before target 50% notification. This also happened before right at 50% of target set last time.

This weekend, while navigating an MTB route with my SV, the watch reset iself to “clock mode”. I had to initiate MTB activity again… I have two records in the app, one with the first part of my workout and another one with the second part.

Is this a known issue?

Thank you.

[markeczzz]

Same thing happened to me today.
I went for a run, and after 900m Vertical exited to watch screen and i had to start activity again.
I had Aerobic Decoupling and Ghost Runner turned on and everything else default for Running (Basic).

[lexterm77]

I can’t reproduce any of my previous crashes. I try same route and settings.

[Antoine Lancrenon]

Small bug I noticed. I am using quite a lot the flashlight during the night when reading the last story to my daughter, having a deem light like the watch is perfect to create the sleeping atmosphere I am looking for .
I have set my watch to get very few notifications, and if I receive one during the flashlight, it makes the light power going down, like I was in watch mode. And I have to reset the flashlight again to get the flashlight potential light.
It repeats after each notification

It is not much, put yeah, I think it is worth mentioning… May be it is the willing behavior?

[mikekoski490]

@Antoine-Lancrenon You could try turning off ‘Recieve Mobile Notifications’ before you do your nighttime routine, that way avoiding the notifications.

[Antoine Lancrenon]

@mikekoski490 Yes true. But it doesn’t bother me receiving a notification, as I said I only receive the most critical one… I would rather a quick fix… The work around is easy to do
