Important: is your S9/S5/Spartan AGPS up-to-date when Syncing with the Suunto app?
-
Hi this can be coincidence. AGPS is updated once per day and there is no need to be updated in a more frequent manner. (even 2 days are ok or more)
So yes switching apps can force this but you should not worry so much for 24h differences

@Mff73 A-GPS Almanac is calculated once a day and has a “validity” timestamp from which time it can be used. Here you find some almanacs: https://celestrak.com/GPS/almanac/SEM/2019 and for the mentioned timestamp this is a calculator to bring it in readable format: https://www.labsat.co.uk/index.php/en/gps-time-calculator
And for the details please get you some coffee and read this: https://www.gps.gov/technical/icwg/IS-GPS-200H.pdfHave fun
!BTW: this still does not tell, at which time Suunto is downloading it either direct or via their server and from where …

Hi, as I said AGPS is working fine for me as well. But I don’t know if it is somehow related, but since this problem with AGPS my Spartan Sport has one problem. 3 or 4 times per day they “freeze” - I can use buttons and even touchscreen, but datas are missing - I don’t see battery level, steps, calories, weekly training time … Only solution is to reset them, manually or after few minutes it performs reset automatically.
And it seems its battery draining as well. I lost 30% after two days without using gps. That’s about two times faster as it was before.I already reinstalled Suunto app to eliminate possible sync problems. Few times I noticed “frozen” watch after notification on mobile which didn’t arrived on watch (but not always there was this case), so maybe some problem there.
But I want to ask, is there some option to reinstall FW in watch? If reinstalling Suunto app doesn’t works, I would try that.

Hi, sure. I was only trying to validate the hypothesis that there is something missing / not fixed, it was not a case for necessity.
In any case, today it still shows 2019-08-01 despite it should be 2019-08-04, so I think maybe there’s another issue here besides the other one.
What do you think? / Is there any other info that I can contribute with to get this solved? Or can you or someone recommend a few other topics which I should check to see if those are better related to my issue?

Now it’s ok for me.

Hey guys,
My watch says 2019-08-14T00:00:00Z
Today is the 1st of October. I am syncing the watch almost daily with the Suunto app. Not with Mc. I also got gps problems. Takes minutes to find the signal. I suspect this is the problem with the agps date? I will now try to do a watch restart. I did. the restart now and it is stuck at N/A. I will now wait some time to see if it changes. -
@Dominik-Steffen sorry to hear that. Mine is updated.
SA version? Last beta?
-
Hmm… Mine stopped updating again apparently. The last update was 2019-09-28.

@silentvoyager
Try a soft reset.
Mine is ok, but I had to reset to clean some zombie notifications. -
3 days old is ok
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos that’s ok for finding the satellites visible to retrieve the Ephemerides data, which is needed for position calculation. I believe this is a very good source for understanding why it takes some time to get a good GPS fix:

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos, Well, it is still 2019-09-28 despite syncing daily. In my experience once it fails to update once it gets stuck and stop doing any further updates. The 12 sec reset does fix it but it is still a buggy behavior.
Not everyone will know to even look at AGPS but they will be getting slow times to acquire GPS and/or poor GPS accuracy and will blame Suunto.

Suunto 9 Baro (2.8.28)
Suunto App 4.10.4 (Beta) -
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I had an AGPS issue today with my SSU.
My last run was 3 days ago, AGPS was up to date, the SSU found GPS quickly. After that run I’ve synced to movescount via cable (using both MC and SA atm.). I missed to sync with SA as power saving mode was active on the watch.
Today I vent to run and the watch didn’t find GPS. I disabled power saving and synced with SA. The sync completed, the last run appeared in SA. The watch still didn’t find GPS. I checked the AGPS data on the watch, which showed N/A. Tried to sync again, still got N/A. Finally I did a 12s reset, after which the sync updated the AGPS data correctly.
I’m using the latest SA beta on Android. -
Hi @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos, we are in 2023, and the issue is still alive…
my SSW Baro is not updated since at least one mont, I tried soft & hard reset, but nothing solved…
I tried to make the sync with Suunto link & my iPhone : nothing changed to…
I don’t know if the issue is because hardware or software…i’m very despite
thanks for your advices -
@Sylvain-Pepin how old is your agps ?
-
Hi @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos, my agps is n/a value !
The only thing changed this morning is the “GPS” value, yesterday it was “na”, but this morning it switched to “5.7.10-P2.&-snt.005” …
Yesterday evening I “hard” resested my watch, and this morning I started an activity and waited for GPS sognal… few mn later the watch bipped and updated the displayed face (starting & end period day)
i don’t know if it’s a good new or not…because when I start a new activity the arrow icon is blinking and doesn’t seem to captur signal anymore
regards,
Sylvain
