Stryd footpod not working with last 2 fw on SV
-
My Stryd, despite being paired, does not work anymore with Suunto Vertical since last two FW updates (it works if used without the watch).
I can pair the StrydX
I see it in paired devices
I see battery info and it is recognized as “SPEED & CADENCE, POWER”
If I open in the pre Running menu > Excercise options > Sensor data, i see “Foot POD”
When I enter the Sensor data Foot POD menu, there is nothing, only Back arrow
When I start running there is no pod icon in the menu
During the run, power information comes from the watch, not the pod (if I move the watch power goes up, if I move the pod nothing happens)My setup:
- Suunto Vertical Ti Solar - FW 2.44.52 (same with previous 2.44.46)
- Next Gen Stryd - FW 2.1.32.1.1
I see others had similar issues with footpods in other threads but there was no dedicated thread:
- Software Update 2.44.52 (2025 Q3 - HOTFIX) - (No footpod icon when about to start an activity) https://forum.suunto.com/topic/13770/software-update-2.44.52-2025-q3-hotfix/105

- Frequent beeping after recent firmware update, even when not in a workout [Perhaps due to Stryd?] - https://forum.suunto.com/topic/13691/frequent-beeping-after-recent-firmware-update-even-when-not-in-a-workout-perhaps-due-to-stryd
I contacted support and tried everything they suggested (restart, forget and pair, power off…) but nothing worked.
Last resort would be hard reset but I have little hope it would work and would like to see if others have a SV which works with a footpod since last FW update.
Any suggestions?

@kurtpenter is that a custom running mode, “Corsa”? Try creating a new one. With HR belt I have similar issue where I can’t add the belt to an old sport mode after Suunto redid the sensor stuff to new firmware.

@Hannu-Liljemark yes, it is my customized Run (Corsa is the Italian for Running). Do you suggest the issue may be related to the customized mode? it would really surprise me… I’ll try tomorrow

@kurtpenter I use a s9pp and had the same issue when using the stryd app. In that case I don’t connect the stryd pod in the settings menu. Instead the watch connect to the stryd pod by itself when I activate the stryd-app within the training options (the menu you see before you start your sport mode/exercise). Maybe that can help you.
