8G is the latest transmitter version, so not as many folks using yet. Your prior posts show you did get it working, but then errors.

> 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 ?
