S9 (2.4.14) 'Calibrate FusedTrack' interface problem. Suunto Case #01853829

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@surfboomerang if you calibrate it (even if not asked)

surfboomerang

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos What exactly do you mean?

After calibration the compass works ok again for a while. This is when the watch prompts me to calibrate as well as a calibration without the watch asking.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@surfboomerang Ok give me some time. @kolyany4 btw goes for HW replacement.

surfboomerang

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Ok, I’m curious if this fixes the issue for @kolyany4.

In my case I have never had to calibrate my compass during an activity, nor had messed up tracks. But I almost always use the GPS best setting. So maybe I was lucky all the time.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@surfboomerang lets see how it goes …

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

I am also curious

kolyany4

@surfboomerang
I have requested to HW replacement, and last notification I’ve received was a week ago about my request being analyzed by Suunto Headquarters. Though, I’m aware that @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos is pushing my request a lot from his side.

But I almost always use the GPS best setting

As I understand, compass is not used in “GPS best” mode in order to fill gaps between “GPS-located”-points. Thus, in “GPS best” mode such error should not occur.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@kolyany4 I am on your case. It takes a few due to Russia service etc

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

Hi ONLY FOR THE COMPASS calibration perhaps we have found a bug.

I want to keep this seperate from @kolyany4 that was loosing GPS.

Also this relates to best mode as I had been asked for compass calibration a few times.

I ll keep you updated

surfboomerang

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Good to hear you found something.

kolyany4

Yesterday I got a replacement watch from local service, thanks to Dimitrios.

And I just had a half of my usual run, which, unfortunately, demonstrate presence of the problem (with replaced watch as well):
1.76 km instead of 2.79 km with persistent request to Calibrate FusedTrack during run.

Here’s what watch has tracked:

while actual track was:

NB. Serial number of previous watch was 18371000xxxx, while S/N of current one is 18481000xxxx.

@kolyany4 Afaik that does not happen with performance right?

Can I ask, I would love to see how it performs in another area.

We had cases in Russia where users could not get GPS due to some areas being scrambled.

Can this be the case here ?

kolyany4

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

Afaik that does not happen with performance right?

Yes. In performance mode no such problem is encountered.

Can this be the case here ?

I doubt due to following reasons:

I use Glonass mode On.
I run in a park far from any areas where such scrambling could be reasonable.
at last, but not at least, Actual track I provide from runtastic app which is launched on my Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact smartphone (with probably the same GPS chip) during my run. Thus, if GPS/Glonass signal were actually scrambled, then, I think, it would influence on track created by smartphone app.

Do you agree?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@kolyany4 I do agree. Pffff…

This is getting more strange.

Please PM me with the logs

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

Here’s part of my log:
NB. had to cold-reset watch in order to finish my exercise.

Hey wait! Are you using walking ?

kolyany4

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Nope.
There were 2 exercises today:
1st - Running (which results I’m showing here),
2nd - Walking (on a way back… tried compass - bread crumps test)…

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

Ok just checking because fued track does not work with walking for example

kolyany4

Just finished another run with GPS==OK to ensure whether problem still exists.
For short, it does:
only 0.12 km instead of 5.17 km has been tracked.

Sent Suunto log ID: 566938655933400

Here’s data collected by watch:

Here’s actual track:

@Brad_Olwin anything to suggest ?
