Software Update 2.40.44 Beta (2025 Q1 Hotfix)
-
@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud It’s not automatic - this is a beta - use the link above from your mobile device
-
@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud why? you can download the beta for SR?
-
@SuperFlo75 my fault. Didn’t red the full post
-
Downloaded. Everything went fine!
-
Installed. WF hasn’t changed after the update. It’s a progress
-
S9PP updated. WF same as before the update, so looking good from this point of view.
-
@pavel.samokha How many days between beta release and official release ?
-
@Antoine if no issues detected, then likely just a few
-
@pavel.samokha The custom battery mode issue is still present in this release
-
Sleep, resources and HR over night tracked without issues. However, yesterday after software update resources widget on the watch got stuck, HR widget was OK. After 12 s reset the issue was resolved. Also alarm clock worked OK.
-
I guess no fix for the WIFI turning on issue?
-
Can I ask what has changed with the step count algorithm?
I updated my 9PP yesterday and walked for 2km.
No change in step count accuracy - it still under reads significantly at approx 1100steps per km. -
Updated yesterday. Did a treadmill run due to weather. (Rain in sheets) The activity was spot on as usual.
One interesting quirk. This morning when I synced with the app, the sleep time is not the same as the watch, My watch is showing 8h10m and the app is showing 5h23m. Start time is the same, but the wake time seems off on the app, Watch is showing 7:56 am but the app is showing 4:21am. It will not update the new wake time in the app.
I should not have to, but tonight before I go to bed I will make sure that the app is closed so that it does not sync in the middle of the night and get stuck there,
Overall happy that the sleep tracking is working because I have had huge issues with it historically. Have to think though that this will affect the resources and recovery metrics in the app.

No change in step count accuracy - it still under reads significantly at approx 1100steps per km.it is supposed to detect better situations with not-swinging hand, like when you are holding an umbrella and likewise.
For me, this is working way better than before (not that I pay any interest in steps anyway, but just for the testing) -
@Egika This should also make steps more accurate with trekking poles? Garmin is notorious for horrible steps with trekking poles.
-
@Stavrogin yes. but better try it yourself.
Also be careful as OHR is usually going berserk with poles… -
@Egika true that. Not a priority but someday I would love to be able to track my pack weight for multi day backpacking treks. I know the weight would change as I eat the food in the pack, but it would still be interesting.

@pavel.samokha
the arrow on the barometer symbol is gone, I can’t see the latest status.
the Turkish equivalent of the sound level in music is not " hacim "
The sunset time on the main screen still does not decrease unless I trigger the clock. It is not dynamic
my tests continue.
-
@safari the arrow will come back if the watch has sampled enough data since the update to show the trend. This takes around 3h or so.
Its the same with every FW update. -
@Egika
Ok, I’m following.
