Android 6.13.6 causes critical pairing loop with Ambit3 Peak – rollback required + SuuntoLink unavailable on Linux

@Gunnar it is beta

@mcmahonsport I reported it to Suunto

@mcmahonsport you can check my sommet app for Linux here on the forum. May come handy for you. It still didn’t get suunto api, but I applied for it. But at least you can get your activities, flash firmware, change sports modes etc etc

@André-Faria Thank you, Andre, I will look at that.

@isazi Thank you, Isazi.

@Gunnar Not that I can see.

This morning the Suunto app on my phone automatically updated itself to 6.13.6 (stable release, not beta [edit: it is beta: now removed]). The exact same pairing loop came back immediately:

Phone confirms the Ambit3 Peak is paired
App then starts the pairing process again
Infinite loop

Device details for reference:

Phone: Lenovo P2
Android version: 14
Desktop OS: Manjaro Linux (so SuuntoLink + USB is not an option)

I have once again uninstalled 6.13.6 and sideloaded 6.7.12. Pairing works again and the phone is currently re-synchronising the same 35 activities (took about 40 minutes this time).
This confirms that the regression is still present in the current public 6.13.6 build. Auto-update has overridden the previous working version, so anyone who rolled back will eventually be forced back into the broken state unless they keep auto-update disabled.
Please treat this as a confirmed, reproducible issue with Ambit3 Peak on Android 14.

@isazi It is beta - my apologies (now removed myself from it).

@mcmahonsport @isazi Same on ios 3.14.0 (23640) with ambit 3 sports sapphire… Shared screenshot with feedback via beta.
Strangely paired a second ambit 3 peak sapphire and it worked. will try again the sport
edit: the ambit 3 peak paired but it is super slow to sync activities and fails some times
iphone 13 mini
ios27 beta 8

@mcmahonsport I confirm 6.13.6 is causing connection loop for my Ambit3 peak as well. Android 17, Pixel 8a. Will try to sideload an older version.

Is this reported to the developers?

Edit: Sideloading an older version worked.

I sideloaded to 6.7.x and then I now disabled the auto-update so that it won’t be updated until it is (hopefully) fixed.
