I am using the Freestyle Libre 2 app on my phone, which uses NFC to connect to and read data from a glucose monitoring sensor i am wearing. (type 1 diabetic here) After installing the latest android update yesterday the NFC service on my FP3 seems to be broken. When trying to read data from the sen…

Why not? Why not testing hotfixes and updates inhouse, as a good working quality control would do?

I think there’s mostly a problem in communication here… As far as I understood, the actual fix will be released with the next regular Android update that is supposed to ship soon. The provided “hotfix” was a test build, where interested users could register for by providing their IMEI. This was do…

And probably will not work, as this is prescription based and also version 2 of this sensor is discontinued (for patent violation reasons, allegedly)

In germany you are able to buy these sensors without a prescription. But that might be different depending on your country of residence. While Abbott is pushing its user base towards version 3 of the sensor, version 2 is still available for me to purchase directly from Abbott. Admittedly though, I …

[image] ralfberlin: The expectation that the fairphone team will elect someone internally to buy, apply and wear a sensor is maybe a bit much, isn’t it? Why? How would you do proper software testing, of not testing the compatability of your software with other software? And the point here is …

[image] MikeSixPointEight: Why? I agree with @ralfberlin it is crazy to think Fairphone will buy every device that can connect to the phone and try every combination of every setting with every other, some billions times billions of test. Sure test out the basics but “testing the compatabili…

[image] anon9989719: it is crazy to think Fairphone will buy every device Who says they should. Likely some of the market leaders would suffice. If they had tested that update thouroughly, this would have include cross checking connectivity. They simply didn’t. [image] anon9989719: Well …

Well… Cross testing… That’s difficult. For one, it’s not a pure software thing, hardware is also different, including firmware versions. And then, surely not the only company, but abbot is notoriously known for not following specs and delivering alpha software. Btw, even not all Samsung models are …

Another freestyle 2 user here… very very glad this is being fixed in the next FP update! Luckily i have a reader but such a pain having to fiddle with my reader, my phone (to add notes food etc) AND then my pump to calculate all the bolus/food/enter BG etc :weary:

NFC to Abbott Freestyle Libre broken in 8901.4.A.0016.6 [FIXED in 0017.3]
