  @aldnet I’ll see what happens by doing that, I really don’t need MC installed on the phone, so it can go. I did receive a reply in this morning’s E-mail, and they did suggest I send it in, which I decided not to do, as once again, I’m sure it’s some sort of firmware problem, or as aldnet says, a function of both softwares being on the phone. That case is closed, and I am anxiously awaiting a firmware update to see if that helps, if removing MC doesn’t.

  Thanks, @Andriy-Zarteskyy , but not of those steps solves the issue at all. It still remains there. The only difference is that mine (my TWO watches, both SST) has the same issue no matter what you do. In my case, if I connect at 40% and watch changes battery to 12% (this really happends), it does not come back to 40% even after reboot the watch. I know this is not my issue, and I’m pretty sure it’s a SST general issue with this firmware, but I don’t see a solution and months pass…

  [Watch] Instant HR on new firmware 2.0.40 (spartan)

  @sartoric said in [Watch] Instant HR on new firmware 2.0.40 (spartan): @yannis-belouris 30 sec is (maybe was ?) the time frame needed to have a valid HR sampling. If I remember well (I don’t have one) it’s the same for hr belt My opinion is that we are mistaking a valid engineering limitation (30 secs) with a possible solution like sampling every minute and displaying this until a valid current HR sample. We need to strive for an excellent customer experience despite hardware limitations

  Speaking as one who has dropped quite a bundle on sports watches from Suunto, Garmin, Polar, Mio, Fitbit, etc, I have one observation that I learned. If I want all of the features of the Ambit 3 Peak, I should buy the Ambit 3 peak. If I want the SSU, then buy the SSU, but if I want all of the features of the Ambit 3 Peak, and already have the SSU, I see I have two choices, either keep the SSU and be happy, or sell the SSU, buy an Ambit 3 Peak, and buy beer and chips with the savings. Just my 2c…

  Just tried the vibration of the timer. The last ten seconds are vibrating really short. The final vibration is really long but not in a strengh, that I would expect. Could be much stronger.

  @surfboomerang those fields are recroding just not exported. You need the SML files and I still dont have support for those. However I will add as it’s at least the last feature I ll push for now. Regarding my data that have those fields that is because we use another tool internal to extract those data

  @someguythatruns I completely agree with you. I run on typically technical trails in Colorado with steep inclines and rocks. The obstacles slow uphill as well as downhill speeds. I have found the Stryd useful for training but not useful for racing or technical trail running. My pace and effort vary too much depending on the terrain.

  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I got a collection of Zombie notifications on my S9 (latest fw), Android SA - beta, LG G6 Android Oreo. So, here are just my two cents: when someone accepts Google Calendar invite it is impossible to remove that notification. I use Google calendar all the time, and when I invite someone to the calendar event, and they accept, there is no way to remove that notification. declined calls stay for no reason, even if I check the notification a bug - If I get a notification, for example SMS, and I use quick reply - reply from notification, when I press send the watch beeps for new notification but it was not a new notification, just a reply to the current one. https://images.techhive.com/images/article/2016/08/quick-reply-nougat-100678494-orig.jpeg ^just to make sure everyone understands what I think of when I say quick reply. If I find more stuff I’ll write it here. Cheers

  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I will now proceed as you suggested ! It was with the default “trailrunning” profile of the watch, and further tests I did just now have the same result. What I tested: Start Navigation in options, then interval after the start of the activity Start Interval in options, then navigation after the start of the activity Star nothing in option, start on, then the other after the start of the activity One random test in running default mode One random test with MTB default mode Sooooo, I conclude that…well I was right at my first post ! Well, that could be a feature idea for Suunto developers haha Anyway, thanks guys for the help and feedback !

  OK, I see reasons for having more screens than available so I stand corrected but @Mff73 may have solved the issue in an ingenious way…I will have to test this out as I would like multiple graphs sometimes as well. One change I would like to see is the ability to scale the graph as we can scale the route on the Navigation page. Kudos to all of you for the great responses!

  @Brad_Olwin I have done similar races with my Spartans. It was ok until this Saturday with “only” 6 hours of running:) So it definitely isn’t something that would bother me all the time. Except the previous FW Spartan issue (when the watch was randomly showing “arrow of death”) I’ve had no big problems with my watch. I love them and use them every day. So it really surprised me, when it randomly restarted during the race. But maybe it won’t happen again. And maybe the new FW will fix that. Who knows

  @Yannis-Belouris Did you already open a ticket ? I suppose this has also something to do to high cal evaluation during activity By the way, re-flashing didn’t solved the issue.

  @dimitrios-kanellopoulos said in 9 touch screen stops responding: @ze-stuart I am so unblessed I lost my 2/2 key races. Mont Blanc with food poison and zagori race that I was aiming very high due to level 2 sprained ankle. To be honest I am entering deep depression so I don’t know what to expect from my self. At the moment I focus on work and beer. Shouldn’t that be Beer and Work…just trying to order the priorities:). Sorry to hear…

  I let my battery drain dead and charged it again but the behavior kept the same, yesterday I used the watch only 3 hous in GPS mode (good) and it went to 48%. My watch is new, only 4 months and I don’t believe its related to hardware or battery issue. Well, I’ll open a ticket on customer support.

  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos If this is the normal behavior then I’ll use a lower recovery time like 5-10sec and just put the watch in pause. Thanks for the help
