      Hi guys, just one thought: Sometimes I feel like the GPS status arrow probably freezes even though the GPS signal is already acquired before starting the exercise… The GPS arrow symbol is grey and blinking. But once I press the lower button to access the options and immediately press the upper button to go back to the “Start screen”, the arrow immediately turns green. Cannot this be the case? Could you test this when acquiring GPS signal takes noticeably long?

      SV: fingers crossed :D
      S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
      Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
      Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

        @Łukasz-Szmigiel yes, I tried all possibilities. At this moment I use GPS+Galileo. It look like fastest. But as I wrote, it is happen only when I have worst signal in city. When I am in open area it start very quickly. But it is interesting for me, that if I use in the same bad conditions Ambit2 (both together on one arm) with Ambit I can run in few seconds and for S9 wait more than minute…

              @Phil-Powell also has an occasional issue where it’s turned itself off completely. Was like that out of the box and has done it twice. At the moment screen is completely blank and if you hold top right button for soft reset it beeps but that’s it

                @MaxiPalle I have noticed that my AGPS file hasn’t been updated since december 18th. Soft reset and reinstallation of the app hasn’t resolved the issue. The app tries to optimize GPS every sync but it never shows up on the watch. Now it says that AGPS is n/a on the watch. Can anyone help?

                  @Richard-Thygesen mine has completely turned itself off. Managed to get a display back by holding soft reset button a few times. But now is also showing assisted gps not available

                    @Richard-Thygesen the watch needs approx. 15 minutes to unpack the data after it finishes syncing. Did you wait long enough before checking if AGPS is fresh?

                        @Richard-Thygesen this shouldn’t happen then. Do you have latest firmware and Suunto App installed?

                                @Phil-Powell Perhaps a hard reset is all that is left to do for me also.

                                  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.

                                    @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.C945D1A9-B889-4EF8-BF82-0E66284AAC0D.png D9ABA597-EB69-49FE-9AC0-75B581E8995D.png

                                        @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.
