Important: is your S9/S5/Spartan AGPS up-to-date when Syncing with the Suunto app?
-
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
