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

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

@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.

I don’t have AGPS too. Did a cold start, it took around 30 seconds and then the GPS seemed ok (tested it only via POI navigation for a while).

Also, I did a soft-reset yesterday which went as usual and did it today too as I’ve seen no AGPS despite SA sync and an hour or so later it was still N/A. This time after soft-reset the watch displayed a low-battery indicator and didn’t restart until I connected it to the charger, weird as it had ~40% of battery left.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Łukasz-Szmigiel let it be without agps.

Maybe it’s better for now. If I understand correctly it’s a sony fuckups on the predictions. It just will take time to find gps at first run.

Let it outside on the balcony etc for a while and then go for a run.

Łukasz Szmigiel · S9PP 2.37.48

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos sure, no problem on my side. Just reporting my findings. I’m impressed that cold start was in around 30s anyway.

So since calling Suunto and going through a factory reset on the phone with them 5 days ago, the watch worked perfectly until today when the display went completely blank again, it synced with the app fine but took a soft reset to get the display back. This is the 4/5th time since I purchased the watch at the beginning of December. Showing assisted gps not available again to.
