@CatLady  
I do it all the time too. I usually get at least an extra 10 days. I’ll usually try to restart a second time and I’ll get 4-5 more days, and sometimes a complete extra 10 more days. I haven’t tried to restart a sensor more than twice.  
I do it mostly because if I get a spot that is working well, I hate to have to find a new spot.

Thanks, @Jan and @MM2, I will give it a try next time. Sure would be good to be able to build a little sensor stockpile!

I just switched to the G6 and I hate it already. I never had any issues with the G5. I hate the new app also.

Thanks for posting the procedure. Can anyone direct me to the “I hate the G6” thread so I can bitch about it?

I actually posted some criticisms and suggestions in the reviews section in the App store.
