Suunto 9 Peak Pro 2.44.48 Beta Test
-
This update hasn’t introduced any defect to my S9PP. Since I’ve been now using it for 2 years, I want to take the chance to celebrate with a quick recap of improvements and issues:
- Notifications: since the 2.44.48 update it seems that some notifications are not received; also, instead of seeing the text of a whatsapp message, I often just see “Checking for new messages”, but this has been going on since I changed phone (Android for Android) a few months ago.
- Battery: no changes since last update. In general my battery used to last around 20 days until the HRV readings where introduced in December 2023, now it goes about 10 days.
- Climb Guidance: as I reported elsewhere, on a 47 km trail run I wasn’t sure that the zoom option (upper button) correctly shifted from one waypoint to another (as explained here: https://forum.suunto.com/post/173960) but I need to test it again. Otherwise the feature is great! I’m also not sure about a customisable data field in the dedicated screen, was it mentioned somewhere or am I completely wrong?
- Live location S+: I don’t really use it but I’m happy this app has been developed. It doesn’t always connect for me, but when it does, it works well.
- Sensors: I only use a chest strap and there are no issues. The “connected” notification at the beginning of an activity is a bit intrusive, but nothing terrible.
I stopped using HRV readings, sleep tracking and daily HR some time ago, so I can’t really judge.
I’ve been very happy with this watch for 2 years now, it has been improved a lot since then and most important, it never ever crashed or caused significant errors. I wish every device I buy was like this! -
@pavel.samokha Have you fixed the issue when random watches factory reset after update?

So I think about keeping it until a final version arrives or should I be worried about something?
Yes, you can continue using this version as long as it suits you

Hi, noted a unusual behavior in this version compared to the stable one, when turning off an alarm, possible after you snoozed, there is a 2-3 sec lag where the screen freezes, after that the watch is back to normal.
Seems like it is gathering data to update the “sleep” tracking info screen that it shows shortly after that.
-
On other thing I noted, maybe it came from the reset that happend, that fitness age went from 32 up to 41, while in the last runs VO2Max decreased from 43,5 to 42,5.
Don’t that I really trust those figures especially as I mainly run trails.
Will check in a couple of weeks again. -
With the beta FW in I did 600 yards in the pool and still the stroke detection doesn’t work… everything is detected as free (free, breast, back). Once change I did see was, when there was a change in stroke during a length, the next turn wasn’t detected.

I found now 2.weeks in that the battery drain is a bit higher than usuall, not sure why, but otherwise everything is still fine, but things mentioned above do still happen.

@pavel.samokha Can you give us a short information when this new beta will be available? It’s hard to live with this half-baked version…
-
@jschmidt I don’t have any estimates.
I can provide a link to downgrade to the previous FW if you have issues -
@pavel.samokha Thanks. This would be a great option! Can you give me a rollback to 2.40 because with that version Stryd was working without issues.

I understand that the 9PP will skip this firmware release after reading @pavel.samokha above “this firmware version won’t be released to all users”. I feel a bit sad, it’s a bad omen that the 9PP did lost the pace with updates compared with its siblings the Vertical & Races, but on the other hand this beta test is a nice idea, and if it doesn’t work to the standard it’s the right exercise of responsibility to NOT release the firmware to mainstream.

@jschmidt https://firmware.sports-tracker.com/beta/2.44.48 now has downgrade links

@isazi can you check if the bugs I reported are known please?
- Continuous pulse vibration when navigating (not in activity) on a route at 50m zoom level
I’ve got something similar but during activities; the watch vibrate continuously when zoom at 50m.
-
Given I have an update available for 2.44.52, I assume this is an automatic upgrade to the previous non beta version? Or some bug fix given that the Race S also has it apparently.

Yep I’ve noticed that too…

@pavel.samokha Thank you very much! This was very helpful. After downgrading to 2.40 the App now offers an update 2.44.52. Is this the next Beta or a stable version?
-
@jschmidt it’s in the official release channel, so stable I suppose?
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel Maybe… The Beta was 2.44.48. The Update is 2.44.52. Just 4 Points in difference for such a big amount of failure. Seems a bit questionable to me.
-
Amount of things changed and the increment number is usually in no relations to reach other. The increment is just based off the amount of builds you had to do to get there, and fault searching in-between
-
For bike sensors which have two ble protocols the Vertical and now after the update of the 9PP both watches are useless. The Fazua bike sensor broadcasts CPS (power and cadence) AND CSCS (speed and cadence). Only CSCS is picked up by the watches and the sensor is paired as speed sensor, not as power sensor.
Because there is no possibility to choose the CPS protocol the power data are unavailable from now on.
It’s frustrating, very frustrating.

Read the Update 2.44.52 thread. Same bugs are still there!!!
