SSWHRB crashing immediately after starting a run

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@ze-stuart I might sound like support but perhaps one solution would be to factory rest via forgetting from movescount.

[Ze Stuart]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos yes, they escalated to T2 to investigate. I’ll update for completeness here when they do.

[Ze Stuart]

Update, for the curious: this has now reached L3 support, and happened part way through a bike ride today (profile: cycling, basic and the only sensor connected was a Wahoo TICKR).

I had a crash again yesterday, during GPS soaking. This is my 5:th time in a couple of weeks.

[Ze Stuart]

Remind me, is GPS soak after starting, but with the activity paused, or on the screen just before one presses start?

What I mean by GPS soak is to perform an stationary GPS activity (approximately 5-10 min) to make sure the watch has best possible GPS reception. I remove this activity before starting again.

I also had a crash today but had no phone with me. Hmmmm. I never had a crash since the update

Welcome to the club…

[johan6504]

I wonder if these crashes are related to memory leaks accumulating in the watch or if it is it app sync caused?
I will do a complete SW reset of the watch and see what happens…

[johan6504]

Crash number six this morning, this is really becoming a big problem.

[SlaSh]

@johan6504 you are exercising with phone or without? I had crash only without the phone.

[johan6504]

Th crash is directly at start or within 2 min no phone involved.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@johan6504 did you do the reset ?

[johan6504]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos No not yet…
It seems like if I get it going it wont crash during a run, at least that has never happened so far. I have a planed 30 Km LSD at 14:00. Will do the reset after that.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@johan6504 good luck

I’ve been wondering about a memory leak. I noticed that after the last crash, it also deleted the sleep and sleep HR data for the day.

I hope everyone here has logged this with Suunto support!

The latest from Suunto as of 2018-02-26:

Our Technical supervisor and analyst have finally responded and identified the bug that is causing this and is currently working with the software designers and engineers to provide a solution via an update.

So, hopefully a fix in the next firmware update.

Great Thanks for sharing

My SSU did this today as well. Seems that it’s not limited to just the WHRB models. When is that next FW update…?

[SlaSh]

@fleshymutant seems they are doing it quarterly.
