Constantin: monitor effort drift against your session average

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Stavrogin thanks for extra info. A guide is de facto an S+ app. So you had Constantin + Guide (2 apps). But it shouldn’t crash the watch nevertheless. Suunto watches are pretty clever and if they see that there are no resources left, they will kill non essential apps, it’s hard to crash the watch and the latest version is simplified.

I’ll do some more digging into optimising the issue but the problem is that on S9PP when I’m using navigation and 2 S+ apps, current version doesn’t hit the limit. I’m surprised that the issues happen on V2 which is newer hardware.

Perhaps @suuntopartnerteam can shed some light on it?

But just to clarify - it didn’t crash at the beginning of the run but later, when you were cycling the screens, right?

[Stavrogin]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel That is correct. The freeze and reboot was triggered by cycling through screens. I feel like that was what happened with the HexHunter app as well.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Stavrogin it seems to me that the UI is still too heavy and, perhaps, tries to do all the painting at once after the screen cycle. I’ll let you know after I release a new version with delayed rendering and we’ll see if it helps.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Stavrogin new version should be available now in SA, you may want to give it a try. The code is ~25% smaller in general and there are some additional optimizations added to how the UI drawing is being handled. If that still crashes - I’m afraid I can’t do much without the support from Suunto or logs from V2 running the app

[Stavrogin]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel thanks and I will give it a try

@Stavrogin Did you enable or disable Always-On Display during activities?

Hi everyone, I’ve also been testing Constantin because I’m interested in its setup. I have a V2 and initially started with 3 Suunto Guides (too many, several were faulty), then I switched to 2 Constantin guides and a 3rd grade training guide… also… the watch would freeze or the Constantin screen option would remain BLACK.
If you also use it in conjunction with ZoneSense, it also fails. I don’t think there’s compatibility yet with multiple systems (3 guides + activity and data watch) working outdoors… Suunto could refine these guide options, which are, in my opinion, quite interesting. Thanks, Luckas️

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Elmiuel thanks for your report. If you haven’t - check the current version (updated yesterday in the evening) - I’m getting reports that it’s more stable on V2.

When the particular SuuntoPlus app goes dark it means the watch unloaded it. You can confirm it by going to workout settings during the workout and checking active apps - the uploaded apps should be off.

[Stavrogin]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel I loaded it up and was able to start an activity. However when I hit the lap button Constantin disappeared the first time I tried. On the second attempt I was able to keep it on the screen. Looks like it might be fixed.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

I’ve been able to release a few updates oriented around lowering the hardware load of the app and yet even today I’ve received a feedback that the app is rebooting the watch - and it’s always Vertical 2.

Are there any known issues or something that’s not specified in the documentation in relation to Vertical 2? @dimitrios-kanellopoulos , @suuntopartnerteam ?

Can I help somehow in debugging the issue by adding extra logging, etc.?
