@G6newbie I myself had a Galaxy Note 4. It’s what got me started using a watch with xDrip+.
The S4 has a particularly buggy installation of Bluetooth. I think Dexcom software engineers took a look at it and said no after they finished laughing.
You might try the hacked G5 version referenced in this thread.
Will the hacked G5 app work with the G6 sensor? Dexcom tech support is useless stating that I have valid concerns and issues but the software team needs to fix the problems. I appreciate your assistance.
@g6newbie Alas, the G5 app will not work with the G6.
But the guy who developed the G5 hack for any Android will help you out.
Just fill out his form here:
He’ll make the app to fit your specifications. I guess it just takes changing one line of code.
Unable to get DexCom G6 App to work on the OnePlus 5 Android Phone. I tried different variants from the “Build Your Own Dexcom App” form but none have worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
There are some additional options here…
Hi mwashburn
I’m new to FUDiabetes.
How are you going with using Dexcom G5 with the Motorola motoG5?
Anymore issues since your last post, or have you moved onto something else.
I’m currently using libre freestyle style, but would like the CGM functionality.

Everyone - I realize this thread is a little old but I hope we might be able to add a little more discussion around this. I currently use xDrip but am finding that my readings are approx 30 points lower than my BS readings. I wanted to look into trying out this Dexcom application however I am a little skeptical, not understanding how the code base is being modified, ensuring the apk is actually safe. Looking for input on what you experiences have been with the application and its overall accuracy, any security concerns etc.
@jduff You don’t have to use the Dexcom app. Just have xDrip+ use the “native” mode. The algorithm used comes from the transmitter, thus it is Dexcom’s algorithm exactly. You would get the exact same readings on your receiver or Dexcom app.
Thanks I just checked my settings and they are set to use the Native Algorythm. I will keep a watch on it and see how things go since this is a new install. Thanks for the input really appreciate it.
I know this is an old thread, but I also have used the modified G5 app on my Moto G5 Plus, and it works perfectly. But just to let you know, I run the old receiver and the Moto G5 app simultaneously. The receiver seems to have less range than the Moto G5, but there are also some times when the receiver still transmits data fine and the phone doesn’t. Very strange. Log story short, I wouldn’t assume that the old receiver is no longer working just because it gives ??? when the Moto G5 app doesn’t.
There really is no problem adding to the knowledge on an old thread. Appreciate the additional clarification @toddbeall
I’ve now inexplicably lost connection with the Dexcom modified G5 app on my Moto G5 plus. Restarted the phone. It says that the app has stopped, and that I should restart it. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
[I didn’t realize how dependent I had become on seeing the dexcom reading on my phone!]
Are you saying the App needs to be restarted, or the sensor? If the sensor, we have restarted them many times. If the App, that would be above my pay grade.
Suggest uninstall\reinstall if app is the issue, or just kick it in the knee.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Ye, it is the app, not the sensor. It will shut off without any warning, take forever to load up, etc. All started today.
I just redownloaded the app and am hoping that will fix the problem.
Strange, since I don’t think there were any recent software updates to the phone–not sure why it all of a sudden decided to get super quirky!
Just uninstalled and reinstalled (before receiving your message). I’ll see if that helps things.
Not sure kicking it in the knee would be super beneficial!
Thanks!
In case anyone is following this thread, when I uninstalled the app on my Moto G5+ and redownloaded and installed it, it worked perfectly! I have no idea what happened, but am quite happy now!
Thanks for those who replied!
