S9 Baro takes very long to find GPS signal before a move
-
@silentvoyager what version ? Thanks for the time and effort.
I’ll create an issue for the mc app. Its clear now.
-
@silentvoyager I see the issue. Please if you have a different system font for you system (eg enlarged) switch it back to to normal for the app not to crash
-
Sooooo, more people experiencing problems with updating the AGPS.
MC, cable and SA users, it seems…
What to do now? does Suunto know, if not, how? -

This is the place to let Suunto know … and now they know
-
@stokje I am not sure people said it doesnt get updated via SA or did I miss that?

The font doesn’t seem to be an issue. I’ve reverted back to default font, installed the app again (version 4.6.0 from June 26). It was behaving OK, albeit a bit slow, initially. Then, once I synced it with the watch, it became extremely laggy again, and after a while it crashed with “not responding” message. And I still couldn’t see the long trail activity from the last weekend in the log.

@silentvoyager Got it . I think I know the issue , I have escaleted that to n1 prio. Hold on.
(check post about syncing long duration activities)

@Shahaf-Ettedgui No issues reported about straps. Can you check the battey of it?

This has been a problem for me too since end of April. It looks like A-GPS data (satellite almanac) update is no longer updating reliably, at least when syncing to Movescount. A soft reset fixes that temporarily, but after a week or two the problem repeats. Currently AGPS date on my watch is 2019-06-06.
I have an SSU as per right know my AGPS is dated on 2019-06-17 and on Friday it was 2019-06-14, so you AGPS is out of date. Something is wrong and is not updating your AGPS.
Hi how can I check agps date? All what I see in settings is GPS 19073,0939bf6,140
-
@tomahawk5000 look for assisted GPS.
-
@isazi oh, right now I see 2020/03/07
Thank you -
Hi,
I have problems with my Suunto 9 Baro. I use Suuntolink to synchronize settings and AGPS data. Unfortunately AGPS data are not updated. AGPS file is 3 weeks old so it takes a long time to find GPS signal. The only solution is to reset my watch and sync again but it shouldn’t work like this. In my opinion this file should be updated every time the new one exists.
Suuntolink app version: 2.28.1
Suunto 9 soft version: 2.11.38 -
@Michal-Postupalski why not sync with sunto app ?
-
Recently, I have experienced this problem too with S9B.
Last 2 weeks it takes about 5-7 minutes to find a GPS fix.
I checked the AGPS on my watch, it is up to date, I always synchronize with the SA before leaving the house and the date is current day.
I did a soft reset, it didn’t help. I used GPS + Beidou, changed to GPS only, also no improvement.
I don’t think I did anything right before the problem happened (FW update or anything like that)
Is there anything else I can do? -
@kabzior This is not normal. I have never had this problem. Make sure that the AGPS is there, sometimes mine does not sync properly. The only time I have had this issue is when the AGPS file is missing. Are you using the cable and the newer Suuntolink, charging via connection to the computer?
-
@Brad_Olwin Yes, AGPS is there, I always sync before activity and the date of AGPS in settings->info is up to date.
I charge with wall charger. The only two times I connected watch to PC and Suuntolink was when I was upgrading software. -

The AGPS file needs some minutes to deploy, if you sync just before the activity, when you try to get the GPS lock it is deploying so it is like it is missing but later when you check it, it is up to date, these are my findings and my own experience.
In my opinion with an AGPS up to 3/4 days old you should not have issues getting a GPS lock in less than a minute and if you sync before the activity do it at least 30 minutes before it.
