Suunto wear app crashes and watch reboot during run
-
@olymay does it always do that following a route?
-
@isazi Yes it does, every single time I try to follow a route and it has been three different routes. However, as of yesterday afternoon, it now does the reboots and crashes during normal exercise tracking and NOT following a route. This is getting silly and I am on the verge of sending it back.
-
@olymay ok we have to follow up the conversation in one place.

Hiking and running crashes following a route?
I’m starting to think that is a real bug this thing.
-
@Bulkan Running crashes now every time I use it, whether following a route or not. This has rendered to watch useless for activity tracking.
Yes, this is a real and serious bug.
-
@olymay which smartphone do you use?
-
@pilleus I have a Google Pixel 4XL running Android 11 and all apps fully updated.
-
@olymay This may be a hardware issue, I would contact support as this is not normal.
-
@Brad_Olwin I experienced it on two S7 watches and after a factory reset or two
and the annoying of the battery optimisation and the autostart of the Suunto app on the phone the problem is solved. -
@pilleus On my phone I have the Suunto App exempt from battery optimisation and it has never autostarted (I can’t even see an option to turn that on or off).
-
I have taken a video of the issue as it happening today. This was recorded indoors, so there is no GPS lock, however it does the same thing even with a lock.
-
@olymay I had the same happen to me today. Rebooted once, and other times it went to the watch face. Is it still a problem for you?
-
@kripar It is, but there is a pretty simple workaround. I believe there is a fix for this coming in the next update (which should be soon, fingers crossed!)
1 - go into the watch settings and disable ‘power saver tilt’
2 - immediately restart the watch
3 - check to make sure ‘power saver tilt’ is off
4 - in the WearOS app on your phone, make sure to toggle off both setting under silence phone when wearing watchthere are a few other combinations that apparently work, but this is the option i tried and it has worked for me.
