S9 Baro takes very long to find GPS signal before a move

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Richard-Thygesen the watch needs approx. 15 minutes to unpack the data after it finishes syncing. Did you wait long enough before checking if AGPS is fresh?

[Richard Thygesen]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel yes I have waited way more than 15 minutes.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@Richard-Thygesen this shouldn’t happen then. Do you have latest firmware and Suunto App installed?

[Richard Thygesen]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel yes the most recent firmware and the most recent beta version of the app.

[Richard Thygesen]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel This is how it looks on the watch.

@Richard-Thygesen I’ve just called Suunto support and gone through a factory reset with them. Seems to ok again now fingers crossed

[Richard Thygesen]

@Phil-Powell Perhaps a hard reset is all that is left to do for me also.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Let me help. If you are on latest software it will show processing once the sync is done.

I am suspecting that sony has issues with updating the agps. Reporting this.

[Richard Thygesen]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos on the app is says optimizing GPS after syncing activities and resources etc. It takes a fairly long time and when its done I see a green check mark. It does this every sync. I think it only did the optimizing GPS once a day before this issue occurd.

[Richard Thygesen]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos now I have the newest A-GPS file. Not sure if it is related but after changing the setting to GPS only an syncing I got the file.

@Richard-Thygesen This happened to me as well a couple of days ago. Did the same as Richard Thygesen. Changed to gps only and Agps updated almost directly.

[Phil Powell]

@helgonet12 how do you change to gps only. Is it the gps qzs ?

[Richard Thygesen]

@Phil-Powell yes thats the one, GPS+ qzss

[Phil Powell]

@Richard-Thygesen that’s what mine was already set on. Since doing the factory reset it seems to be working 100% quicker/better so far

[helgonet12]

@Phil-Powell I meant GPS+ qzss sorry.

[Richard Thygesen]

Just an update. It seems to work after changing to GPS only. I got the new a-GPS file this morning.

[Richard Thygesen]

Well now I don’t get the newest A-GPS file again. This is annoying. I’m out of ideas. Has anyone found a solution?

@Richard-Thygesen yesterday there were issues with Sony distributing the AGPS files, maybe related.

[Richard Thygesen]

I got it yesterday and then did a soft rest after @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos wrote us to do that and after the soft restart I got the file directly after syncing with SA app. Today I didn’t get the new file. I’ll wait a couple of hours and see what happens.

[isazi]

@Richard-Thygesen I didn’t get the file either, and there are other people complaining so it is most probably related.
