Hi!

First Timer here. I recently got myself a Samsung S21+ phone, and became fast aware that the Dexcom App will not work on this phone. (Thanks Dexcom).  
I’m running a G6 currently.

I have downloaded xDrip, however I appear to have errors where the phone is not picking up my Dexcom Bluetooth advice and it’s rendering me unable to use this on my phone.

Anyone who has anty ideas why the BT on this is not working (Yet it works on my car and other BT devices)  
I’m crying for your help!

There is also a hacked G6 app that bypasses the check on phone model.

> Hi @KOLDY (Brian), I still use the G5 with an unsupported phone and have had zero issues with the app mentioned above. My spouse has a Pixel 3 and the app works flawlessly. The same group that did the G5 app that I am using has a G6 version. Basically it’s the official G6 app with the Google Play store restrictions and Dexcom server device compatibility verification checks removed (bypassed). If I were in your situation and wanted the official app (at least until Dexcom certifies the curre…
