Hi all,
I just moved today from FSL and miaomiao to G6 for my 10 yo daughter.
I have the latest xdrip release and the warm up went well…
However, since that, I keep on having signal losses erratically… Sometimes it works perfectly for 4 or 5 consecutive readings and suddenly, I have signal missed for 15 min… 20 min…
G6 options on the phone:
Use the OB1 Collector is ticked
Native Algorithm is ticked
Any idea ?
Any options to tick ?

@Kywalh Hi! And Welcome to FUD!
If you’re using a Samsung phone go into settings\>\> less common settings\>\>other misc options and check “buggy Samsung Workaround”.
Did you start the G6 with the startup wizard? That will make sure the optimum settings are enabled.

@docslotnick thank you for your reply !
She has a Wiko phone and I went through the startup wizard, latest nightly built from the 10th of Jan…
Should I try to activate the Samsung option anyway ?
Thanks

@Kywalh It wouldn’t hurt to run it.
Also, in G5/G6 Debug settings, tick “fallback to xDrip” and swe if that helps.

@Kywalh Uncheck “allow OB1 unbonding”, “force G5 to ui thread”, “authenticate G5 before each reading”, G5 Bluetooth Watchdog"
Tick “Bluetooth Wakelocks”.
If this works you can try rechecking/unchecking items to find out what is breaking the system.
Also, on the three dot menu on the upper right xDrip+ home screen you can click “view events log” and see where it’s hanging up.

@Kywalh Also you should know that Wiko has not been tested with xDrip+ so it is not on the recommended phone list.
This is, however, not a hard and fast list of phones that work. Just ones that have been tested.

I made the changes you proposed…
Let see…
I know for the compatible phone and I don’t have any issue to buy a new one but I also need to ensure it works with AndroidAPS too…
 @docslotnick
Enclosed a part of the log…

@Kywalh Ok. It looks like GATT is not properly disengaging to allow a new session. This was a common problem on some older phones.
Go to "less common settings\>\>Bluetooth settings and tick “close GATT on BLE disconnect” and “Always Discover Services”.
I think that will get rid of that error.

@Kywalh Oops, sorry. Engineering Mode must be enabled.
On the xDrip+ home screen, tap the eye dropper icon. In the treatment applet that pops up, click the microphone and say “Enable Engineering Mode”. There will be a confirmation toast that it was turned on. Go back and make sure discover services is ticked and not grayed out.

@Kywalh Yes. It won’t be applied until engineering mode is enabled

@Kywalh Yes, look at the log again to see if you’re getting GATT related errors. If you are still consistently getting them, you may need to try another phone.

@docslotnick
Ok… It seems that I still have those errors…
I need to change phones but I have no clue how to proceed since the sensor is started and the transmitter is paired…
