Software Update 2.48.16 (2025 November Rain release)

The Lost Alien

Hello everyone.

I updated my SR device last night, and everything is working fine. It used 4% of the battery. It was 2% on version 2.43.12.

I downgraded to version 2.43.12 because of the various sensor issues I was experiencing in recent updates. I’ll be testing the heart rate band and my bike cadence sensor during my next workout to see how it works. I hope the sensors work well with the new update so I don’t have to revert back to the old version.

@dulko79 Same here. Nice improvement.

All my zones and custom sports are still here - but the update turned on the Feelings for all sport modes - now I have to disable all again
Please Suunto make them at least configurable for ALL sport modes in one place!

@dulko79
The same here! No issues (for now) and nice morning welcome!
Do you think this could be considered as major update requiring a complete watch battery discharge?

Hi , I see you are a little bit overwhelming here with the posts. Lets take things 1 by 1.

No need to rollback
If need to clean the silly list with the ghost sensors then hard reset unfortunately. But Afaik it wont come back ghostly again.
After an update its usual to not be able to correctly within a few hours expect a normal battery “monitoring”. Run it though the days and see how ti performs.

I am more interested though in your statement about the beeps you have during time mode. are they from sensors ?

What do you base this statement on? Has there been some update regarding ghost sensors in the latest SW?

I am asking because on the previous SW, I did a hard reset which removed the ghost sensors but they came back. So on the previous SW, a hard reset was not a permanent solution. If it indeed would be a permanent solution with the new SW, then I would do a hard reset. That is why I would like to know if you actually have some facts on this backing up your “AFAIK statement”?

@pavel.samokha Is this a Q4 update or just an additional bugfixes update?

Stefan Kersting

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos two hours ago I did a factory reset so I gonna see now. Concerning the beeps I don’t really know where they came from. Had disabled notifications and no other alarms activated. Could not be the sun set/sun rise alarm. When enabled the flight mode there was no beeping any more. I had just connectet med H10 sensor and four stride ghost sensors. I use to unclip the H10 sensor from the belt when not using it during activities. The watch never displayed anything when beeping and it beeped several times an hour.

@maszop no q4 , just bugfix

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Great, because it would look too modest for a Q4.

First run after update this morning with SRs : even if smartsensor was still appaired, and detected in start screen of exercice, obviously ohr was used when I started the exercice (very high values). I unpaired it, appaired it again, and start exercise => then ok .

I would really appreciate it if someone could expand a bit on the things that were added in the last update and if possible with pictures
I am in a period where I am less physically active but I am still interested - I would also like pictures if anyone can
Thank you

Sadly no morning report after yesterdays update.
I slept 8:12, and wanted to check new summary, but no report. I went to ,Sleep" widget to force summary but it wont show up sadly… I’ll check if tommorow will work.

On reddit there was a change log including also “flashlight setting reminder in activity” (vertical 2). Any idea what this is?

You can try, if the flashlight is starting at the same setting where you exited it the last time.
The hint seems to indicate that it is currently implemented only during activity.

@Stefan-Kersting There are not really fancy new features in this update, only the merge of the two software streams and bug fixes.
So I guess they focused on the bugs this time. But as it seems unfortunately with limited sucess

plus there is the GCT and vertical oscillation introduced. But maybe not fancy enough…

maszop

@Egika Is it a hardware limitations that this isn’t included in the update for older models?
Or is it just a marketing decision not to add new features to older models?

I’m still seeing battery draining at about 0.5% per hour (without activities, 247 HRM, AOD, low brightness). This is quite terrible IMHO.
I have no BT devices at all except the app on Android. I read that disabling the app from running in the background on Iphone solved battery drain. I also noticed a new version 6.4.7 on Android.
I’m wondering if maybe the BT to the phone is the reason for drainage. Does 6.4.7 solve this issue??

Egika

@maszop i don’t know

Egika

@Gideon-Kaempfer like with every update, pls wait for a discharge/charge cycle before judging battery percentage… Thx!

Gideon Kaempfer

@Egika OK. So when do you recommend I charge the watch? At 10%?
