> Hello, welcome to FUDiabetes (For Unlimited Diabetes). We’re happy to have you here and look forward to sharing, learning, and exploring all things diabetes together. I’m Sam, formerly known as Sam19. I live in Alaska with my wife and 2 young children. I was diagnosed with T1 unexpectedly at age 29. I currently manage with tresiba, novolog MDI, and Afrezza. I use a dexcom G5 cgm intermittently. Nice to meet you all.

Now, about your problem. Go to settings\>less common settings\>other misc options and make sure “Samsung Workarounds” is checked.

With the G6 you should also be using “native mode”, in G5/G6 Debug. And while you’re there make sure “I am Using G6” is checked.

Try these and let me know if it now works.
