Software update 2.18.18 Sept 28 2021

MiniForklift

@durri I did the initial update with no real issues (apart from an additional screen appearing in one of my custom workouts which I was able to remove through the SA). Then I got the notification that there was a second update for bug fixes; when I synced my S9B to my laptop I got a big red alert telling me that my watch would be reset and all data would be erased. Luckily I got the option to accept rather than the update just automatically starting else I would have been pretty annoyed to lose everything

I unplugged the watch, closed SuuntoLink and then restarted it before plugging the watch back in. This time the update went fine and I didn’t get an “all data will be erased” message

@miniforklift perhaps too late but could you send logs. ?

The same applies for other people that had the same.

MiniForklift

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I’ve never sent logs before but I just sent them through SuuntoLink and it says that they have gone. Log ID number is 3635737897018281

Hi, my S9B doesn’t show the temperature and does not recording it in Openwater swimming, after the last update.
In other sports modes it works properly.
Is there something different?

Durri

@durri Updated today 2.18.20, no problem with resetting the watch. Everything went as it should

Chronbu

Hi, is there any firwmare update (2.18.20) for S9P, or only for S9 and S9B ?
My Suunto App does seem to show an update since 2.18.18.
Thanks.

isazi

@chronbu only for S9 and S9 Baro, not Peak.

freeheeler

was the 12s restart beep removed some time ago or is it only my watch that doesn’t play the sound anymore?

Any word on whether any Suunto watch will get manual swim lap/drills function back?

DMytro

Btw I think I’ve spotted a bug on my S9:
Sometimes when I wait for GPS lock it takes ages, but I suspect that it’s just an icon bug - if I scroll down and then up again, thus resetting both GPS and HR acquisition animation, the former signal gets acquired almost at the same instant.

inkognito

@dmytro I confirm this. It is not related only to the last firmware version. It was present already years ago. I even remember this from my Spartan Trainer.

DMytro

@inkognito yeah, I’ve seen this on previous firmware as well, but didn’t know where to post XD

MiniForklift

Hmmmm I think I have noticed this before as well, although this has been on previous FW. Hasn’t happened to me for quite a while; unless I either haven’t used my S9B for ages or I’m in a new part of the country my GPS is normally locked in within a couple of seconds

Would a simple soft reset fix this?

freeheeler

@miniforklift
it was also present when selecting too many options like S+, navigation and other things in pre-start screen… then it wouldn’t notify you anymore if satellites are locked, but they eventually would be… this was solved some time ago (for multiple “options selection”)

Well in my opinion with the firmware 2.18.20 the battery consumption is bigger than before in daily use, at least for the S9B. I guess is the same for firmware 2.18.18.

Let me explain: I never needed to do a battery calibration as it has always worked well in the same conditions (Important: Same conditions). With the new firmware, and in my case two upgrades in a week, I noticed an increase of battery consumption in daily use so I did a battery calibration and previously some soft reset to make sure nothing was stuck.

My test is that with previous firmwares if I charged the watch in the evening and once if was charged I unplugged it and let it rest in a table during all night the watch had 99 or 98% battery level the next morning. With the new firmware the battery level is 95% in the morning (tested twice, with battery calibration and without). This using the S9P watchface, I will test once more using the original outdoors watchface.

I’m not saying that is critical but something is there, and every 1% counts

Pavlas

@cosmecosta I’m seeing exactly the same thing. I also suspected the S9P watchface. But it’s the same with the original outdoors watchface.
And I also noticed more battery drain overnight when the watch is lying on the table. It’s 4-5%.

zadow

@cosmecosta fully agree. From my observation, the consuption is most likely even higher. Honestly, I did not perform exact tests as you did. However, from my day to day use, I got that feeling, that battery consuption is higher after upgrade.
I have S9b.
