Software update 2.18.18 Sept 28 2021
-
My father has S9 non-baro (also with the latest firmware). I put his watch and mine side by side. 4 hours in sleep mode = -2% for both
-
@isazi Good!!
I do not have anything enabled, no notifications no OHR, no sleep tracking. With all previous firmwares if I unplugged the watch at 21:00 fully charged next day it was 99% around 7:00 or 8:00, now in my case is 94 or 95%. This, with the watch lying on the table.
Could be that for some reason some sensors do not go to deep sleep? -
@cosmecosta let me test and see, it could be something is still running in background that wasn’t previously.

@cosmecosta auto DND at night?

@isazi Nope

Today I did some hill repeats and I want so bad the new ascent/descent algorithm for the S9B.
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos do you have any news/hint if we will have it for the S9B?
-
@cosmecosta I am not Dimitrios, but I can say that this is at least being investigated. As already said the sensor is different, and the positioning of the baro holes different (and more prone to bad readings on the baro), so it is a challenge. But I know for sure some people are checking the feasibility, so let’s hope it comes to fruition!

@cosmecosta experiment completed, lost 8% of battery (in around 11 hours) just having my S9 on a drawer with everything disabled. This is more than I remember happening in the past where if it left alone it would consume almost nothing. I am reporting it to Suunto.

Thank you @isazi for the time dedicated!!! I hope Suunto discovers what is happening and fixes it!

I did not notice any significant difference in battery performance. I notice, however, that the watch is slower when finishing an exercise in saving and, after checking the results, in going back to the main (time) screen. Am I the only one?
Not a big deal, but it is clearly slower than before.

@cosmecosta @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos @isazi I have an S9baro running production software and can test this as well. I will fully charge and just let it sit.
-
@isazi I can confirm that this battery draw for an idle watch is happening with my S5. With the 2.18.18 update, the watch battery remaining approximately 10 percentage points burndown in 24 hours ( 100% -> 90% -> 80% etc ) while sitting idle with no disturbances, Bluetooth sync turned on and notifications turned off. This is after two complete battery charge and discharge cycles and is substantially higher than previous SW versions.
-
@bradleyd it is under investigation at Suunto, will be most certainly fixed with the next update. I’ll keep everyone informed if I can.
-
I was discharged by 8% in 24 hours. Battery saving mode. Everything is disabled.

For comparison my watch lay unused for a little over two days and it dropped to 97% off a full charge. Mine seems to have come out of this update relatively unscathed
-
@efejota Yes I experience the same. Much more ‘sluggish’ reaction on any screen than the previous FW that was as smooth as butter
-
A couple of things here.
The battery drain is on idle mode aka laying on the table
It can be realted to the watchface you use.Regarding sluginess. Only media controlls at teh main watchface (and only there) could have an impact. All other views have not been touched. We dont load all views. 1 view at a time
-
Thanks, @dimitrios-kanellopoulos It is interesting, because when I noticed it, I disabled and experienced the same behavior. Of course, slugginess is quite subjective, but I am pretty sure that the watch is much slower in saving and transitioning to the watch interface after finishing an exercise (not in screen transition during exercise, it works as before then).
I thought it might be linked to (i) new S+ burner app -but I experienced with or without it during the exercise and the results were the same) or (ii) differences in how the watch manages data saving connected to a faster (clearly noticeable) sync process with the App. I am not programmer, so I was just trying to find any possible explanation.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos , Very well, my master. However, I need to argue a bit with you
-
regarding battery drain: I noticed battery drain on “S9p” watchaface. I changed then to Outdoor watchface, but the battry drain was again higher than it used to be on previous FW.
-
regarding responsivity, hmm…during activity recording, watch responses are very good and smooth, just as was before upgrade. right after activity finish and during normal - watch - operation, I noticed that chagne of displays, listing up and down, etc., is not as smooth as it used to be. watch seems to be a bit reluctant…
