GPS and AOD broken after latest galaxy watch update

[DANOFDANGER]

Its already been posted here about the AOD being broken with the workout screen after the latest watch update. But it also appears to have affected the GPS accuracy as well. It might not be noticiable for some unless your doing long distance workouts, but my regular runs were typically around 7.1 - 7.15km with great consistancy. And when you looked at the map, the gps tracking lines were always clean and straight, which with the watch 7 is attribured to its dual gps design. But now immediately after the update which had already broken the AOD workout screen for live data, i am getting poor gps tracking lines and the last two runs coming out to over 7.3km for the exact same route. Which it had never done in the past. It feels like they have potentially adjusted the gps settings to try save some battery and sacrificed the gps accuracy as a result.

It is a MASSIVE understatement on how frustrated i am about this new update and has caused me much distress because of how i hate when things mess with my exercuse routine so destructively.

Have same problem with galaxy watch ultra.

Who knows, was it good before this update?

Just is it possible that this is smth hardware related ?

But the problem not with Samsung health.

It's a joke to think I'm only the 22nd user to report this issue. I figure as cumbersome as resetting my forgotten password and logging in is there must be hundreds of others with this same problem who didn't bother to figure out how to report it. I've been living with this annoyance for many weeks now. Just wasted half an hour reporting this in hopes that Samsung's engineers will notice and explain the problem. I'm NOT a robot I'm NOT a robot I'm not a robot

Yes samsung has really been dropping the ball on their reliability with many of their products and the software related issues, often breaking things more than what the upate intended to fix or improve. And then taking far too long to respond. Dissapointing indeed.

Don't know are you guys sure that it is a software related issue and before update everything was good?

It feels to me Samsung would already fixed it if it were just software issue.

Btw let's make a mess to be recognised by Samsung members

Still broken 19th June. 7.5km hill walk showed up as 10.5km tracklog going places I never went. Utter mess. Broken by samsung in last update and STILL NOT FIXED. My next watch will be a garmin. Introlerable attitude to customers.

It honestly makes me wonder if its done intentionally upon the release of their new products, to drive users to upgrade. Making them feel like it's just a design limitation and in order to have better quality, they need to upgrade. I think other manufacturers have been caught doing similar things, using an umbrella excuse to suggest it was necessary to preserve longevity of battery lifespan.

This morning I have made a mountain bike ride logged with a Garmin Oregon 700 GPS and the Galaxy watch Ultra.

Garmin - 49 Km , as precise as usual

Galaxy watch ultra - 88 Km o_O. Crazy GPS points distributed all over the route.
