SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.19.42 January 27, 2022

[isazi]

@łukasz-szmigiel is it still being filtered, and has been tested for a while. Do not expect miracles from a non baro devices, but ascent/descent is a bit better.

[halajos]

Suuntolink tells me I need to sync to SA before the update. I synced with SA multiple times, also reset the watch, but still the same. Should I worry about update failure and watch reset because of that?

[dulko79]

Downloaded and installed update faster than drinking a morning coffee. Well done.

[isazi]

@halajos I believe that is a standard message to tell you that if you have activities not synced they’ll be lost.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@isazi sure, understandable. It’s cool that Suunto managed to improve it. Do you know if this was fixed in this release?

[isazi]

@łukasz-szmigiel I do not think so, but will be fixed if it wasn’t.

[Efejota]

Looks really promising for the future. And I can get rid of those S+ that I never use XD

[markytarky]

@isazi just to be sure, I still need to manually select the S+ every time I go for run? Right?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@markytarky still yes

[v.sacre]

@markytarky Yes I am afraid.

As I understand, you can only shorten the list of S+ app in the watch but it doesn’t change anything else.

I thought we would have been able to assign S+ app automatically for each sport mode but maybe it is not yet the case.

Anyway, thanks for the update.

[markytarky]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos thanks. It would be nice to have the ability to use it as a permanent screen to sport mode, but I’m sure that request is already there.

[markytarky]

@v-sacre me too, but let’s hope this will come as well…some day.

[halajos]

@isazi thanks, the update went fine.

[halajos]

SA (Android 4.51.4) doesn’t show SuuntoPlus features, just a link to the S+ feaures on Suunto web pages. The watch is S9B, just updated now.

[isazi]

@halajos restart the app.

@halajos restart the app.

Did a force stop on SA, still the same.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@halajos can you show me a screen ?

[halajos]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos sure:

[freeheeler]

with every FW update I try in watch mode to long press the lower button… but nothing happens
