"Raise to Wake" not working properly during activities
-
@jjpaz Got the Race 2 very recently and I was a bit surprised that the raise to wake basically is not working. The watch stays in the same brightness throughout the activity. I compare this to the Ocean that goes in sort of low light mode then you raise to wake and it turns on

Out of activity Raise and Wake works perfect. Also, during activity, if you pause, it works perfectly. You resume activity and again, screen stays on during all activity (draining battery and increasing burnout risk).

@jjpaz yes I was referring to activity raise to wake. On the Ocean when not raised it goes to low light mode and then medium brightness when raised. Isn’t this the expected behavior even of the Race 2? If not then the setting raise to wake should be removed and aod too

Yes. My Race S and Vertical work fine. Raise and screen on. Arm down and screen/backlight off. So only happen to me in Race 2.

Perhaps downgrading the software to previous one will shed some light on the problem (talking about light…)

A possible workaround: today, just before starting activity I’ve entered the screen options menu (preactivity conf menu), I’ve switched ON AOD, then I switched OFF and it seems Raise and Wake has worked OK during activity… Can you try?

Reply from the suunto chatIf Always-On Display is enabled during training, then:
The screen is on all the time
There is no slight attenuation
The backlight remains active so that the data is always readable
This is normal and regular behavior, not a mistake
Why is it done like that
During the lesson, the clock assumes that:
You often look at the screen,
Gestures and touches may not work (sweat, gloves, movement),
So the screen stays active without darkening.
At the same time:
Brightness is lower than the maximum,
Energy-saving backlight mode is used.

Yes, correct. But I don’t use AOD, I use Raise and wake (AOD off) and my problem is that screen remains on as if AOD was active, screen doesn’t go off. Before update that feature was working fine.

This is the same workaround needed for MIP screens, except instead of AOD, you need to toggle the “Backlight” setting on and off to get things back to normal.
I really don’t understand why Suunto isn’t acknowledging this bug.

Reply to what query exactly?
In this case it is a useless generic reply that does not apply here. Adding more nonsense talking about non existent backlight.
