SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.33.12 - Q1 2024

[cemoi71]

@sartoric I’ve checked it yes, but didn’t have look deeper inside in place that you’ve pointed.
In french it is translated in form that we could interpret it as “wake-up” too.
Which it don’t lead me to think that is could handle on the movement by seating too.
Only a thinking point of view…
Many thanks for having pointed to me

<sarcasm-on> Love this new always-on “breadcrumbs” option on my 9PP <sarcasm-off/>

Joking aside, another firmware update brought new regression bugs. It isn’t surprising, is it? If we read this thread we can see people once again are complaining about very basic use cases - dark screen while biking, useless airplane mode from the widget, breadcrumbs etc. It looks like Suunto doesn’t care about software QA at all and it’s very very sad.

It’s to avoid getting lost while track running…

Yeah, this new always-on “breadcrumbs” option on the 9PP is not cool at all.

@false Regression in sw development unfortunately can happen, the real problem is waiting months for patching when regression seriously impairs usage. Always-on breadcrumb is only nuisance imo.

[Dušan Ković]

Does anyone has any info on bugfix update for bunch of problems that users are encountering?

Thanks

what is always on breadcrumbs, please ?
is it the capability to remove the breadcrumb screen ? I just tested with my wife’s S9PP and it is still possible with activity navigation option. Am i confusing things ?

[A Former User]

@Mff73 The navigation option is not remembered once set to another value

For sure, but I am, but actually “we are”, talking about extremely basic scenarios and not even an edge cases (i.e “push this button 3 times then push that button 4 times then turn around and get a bug”)

Always-on breadcrumb is only nuisance imo.

Yes, it is, but, imo, such easily reproducing bugs (one button push away from a user) must be eliminated before rolling a release. Really, I can’t believe. All in all, Suunto isn’t a small indie dev company that can afford to neglect such matters.

PS: especially when users have to wait for months till next firmware update

unfortunately, until they discover the problem, there is nothing they can do, and rehashing the same concerns does not help them. if you do not tolerate this, you know the solution…

Yes, make it open-source

@Mff73 Now, by default, when we start an gps activity, the breadcumb screen is always activated. Of course, you can deactivate it before starting the activity. But it doesn’t save the settings for the next one. It’s not a big problem but it can be a bit of a nuisance.

[Mff73]

@enriqueescoms
Ah OK.
Any one has its own level of nuisance tolerance.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Mff73 I find it problematic not because it’s there, but because it’s another screen to cycle.

The workaround that I have for being unable to cycle workout screens to the left is to have just two of them and no navigation (if I don’t intend to use it). This way I either see first or the second screen upon middle button press. Or one S+ if I (rarely) use it.

It’s the same as being unable to disable the vertical navigation screen, which is strangely glued to the navigation if the route is active.

[Mff73]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel
i was just questionning myself, no judgment.
It was an option, it was remembered, it is not anymore, it is not nice, it is a “bug”.
Then, it is just few clicks to remove it, and “remove it each time” is the definition of a nuisance I got it

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Mff73 no problem, just wanted to shed some more light on the context of it.

Small bug (9PP): When using usual touchscreen off, if you go into navigation during an activity, and then go down to options like routes/POI/etc, touchscreen works, which surely can’t be intended. Can swipe in menus.

[Wilson75]

I am facing strange behavior with map also.
I don’t know if I’m misusing the map function but I remember (before update) that when I used my map during an activity, a few seconds after manipulating the map with the touchscreen to look around me, the display automatically returned to my current position. It was sometimes annoying because I hadn’t finished my research.

Now I have the opposite problem, after my search on the map, the map remains at the same location of my research and I sometimes have difficulty to get back to my current location.

I hope that I am clear

[Arnaud Lclr]

@Wilson75 double tap on the screen and the map returns centred on your position.

[Wilson75]

@Arnaud-Lclr I feel so lonely … thanks
