Lack of connectivity.

I use the Libre 2+ sensors as they are what my NHS Trust supply. I've had very few problems with them apart from a couple coming off in bed - I solved that by using the Kovok guard and adhesive plaster which providesome protection. But I changed my sensor yesterday and the new one seems very reluctant to connect to my phone via Bluetooth - has anyone had a similar problem with these new + sensors?

I suppose I'm stuck with contact readings for the next 15 days...
 
have you tried restarting your phone and/or tried toggling bluetooth off and back on again?
 
Sometimes it settles down after a bit and decides to talk to the phone.
I had a run of sensors which reported signal loss for a while and then worked again.
I haven't had that so far with the latest batch.

Thank you LittleGreyCat - two days in and it seems to be starting to behave itself.
 
My current sensor is doing this. Loses signal regularly. At first I thought it was due to the phone being in aeroplane mode even though Bluetooth was on and my headphones were connected. However it's continued for the last couple of days. Today it's dropped out randomly even though it's just a couple of feet away from my phone which is on my desk
 
Maybe they're both from a bad batch? I get four at a time; the first was fine, this the second is definitely not working properly. I'll just have to wait and see what the third and fourth do.
 
As you might see in the iPhone thread, I've just bought one. The Libre app is working perfectly except for the fact that my current sensor is still reluctant to connect or stay connected. Once I get it downloaded to the phone by bringing them into physical contact it will stay connected and update the reading as necessary until the phone screen shuts down, currently set to 5 minutes - then only another physical contact will get me off the loss of signal screen. Two phones, same problem - its definitely a faulty sensor. My non-techy mind is wondering if this sensor has a faulty battery? Eight whole days until it expires and I can replace it...
