@ventresca said in PTE bug ?: I’ve noticed a bug in the PTE calculation on my Suunto 9 peak pro (maybe since the last update?). Sometimes, when I don’t have my heart rate belt on, I turn it off (so the heart rate is not recorded in my activity). The problem is that a 10 km jog well below my maximum pace is always scored with a very high PTE score, often PTE = 5. I’d like to point out that I haven’t modified my parameters (heart rate ranges, maximum frequency, etc.). I’ve logged around 200-300 runs since I got my watch. So with the GPS and the calculation of my speed (which corresponds to my jogging pace) over less than an hour, there’s no reason to have such a high score. I take it this is a bug? Thanks in advance, It seems like a bug indeed. The high PTE score without heart rate data is unusual, especially with consistent speed and pace. Hope it gets fixed soon!

You made my day, that was Indeed for the watch and I managed to create a custom mode. Thanks to all of you

@isazi Thanks very much, I saw this too late, or I will try this solutions. XD

I’ve always used the good’ol soap and water with my Spartan.

@Marcos You can add a route to the 9PP but there are no maps. Here is the support page where you can find how to videos and a user guide for this watch. https://www.suunto.com/en-us/Support/sports-watches-support/suunto-9-peak-pro/

@brucey09 as Isazi wrote, starting an activity is not part of the customization. A short press on the top button will always start the previous activity type. This cannot be changed. Buttom button cannot be assigned to any sport mode. This has not changed with any update so far. What you possibly mean is pressing and holding the upper button during an ongoing activity. This will allow to change to a different sport (multisport) and list the most recently used activities.

@isazi ok merci

Before the update in July, it registered too many steps. But now it registers too few! When I get up from the couch and go to the kitchen and back, it doesn’t register any steps. Please adjust the settings again!

@Tami999 Thank you for this, helped me to downgrade and get my watch working as it should again!

@Shayamoya you’ve set a custom profile and it now sticks as default. You have to go to battery mode, set it to custom and while in custom settings, set it identical to how performance is set and save as custom and use it. Only then will it reset to performance as default for the next workout.

@isazi thanks. This is my assumption too. Sometimes it even shutdown while charging on the slot ! I’ve sent it to the support center in Prague…let’s see.

@renton82 It’s also very important that during the “first” run when the watch doesn’t have any past VO2 max data to use as a base that GPS is never lost. So no tunnels, waiting enough before the start that GPS is solidly locked (if you start immediately after it’s found, it coudl be lost for a few seconds afterwards, and that might compromise VO2 max when there’s no data behind), etc.

@Oyibo Which notifications are problematic? What iOS are you running?

Same problem to me today with my S9P. It has rebooted during activity, activity was partially saved. First time in 13 months using S9P. Never happened before with Spartans (Trainer and Ultra) nor S9B.

@siaoinspired maybe it is designed like that to prevent a mess? I’ve once had autolaps and S+ climb active and got confused by the lap notifications. the note says if it’s an autolap, but I would even go one step further than Suunto and force to deactivate autolaps in case any app is active that creates laps, too.

@Simon I know one of SA syncs I appreciate is updating ‘optimizing gps performance’ which saves time when I get to my destination to run or start up for a ride. I’ve had Garmin’s and Polars that take about the same amount of time if you select sync. I guess for me 20 seconds is ok and I usually do it in the mornings in the background - I may not be in as much of a hurry to work out as you lol.

@Mff73 agree, nothing to do with GPS, most certainly environmental: snow blocking the baro sensor, strong wind, gloves or other barrier blocking the baro sensor, etc. I did many mountaineering activities in the Alps with S9P and S9PP without this happening, so it is not because of the sport mode.

@joaojesus Just curious…why do you want that?

@vincent-mayousse let’s hope it will.
