[QUOTE="Grandadfatboy, post: 2660961, member: 557888"] Up until last November, my S20+ was absolutely fine with the L2 app, including alarms working in silent and Do Not disturb modes. My phone updated to Android 13 and no alarms at all, silent or otherwise. I updated my phone to S23 Ultra (updated to Android 14 last week) and like my S20+ no alarms at all. Abbott could not solve this issue and their solution was to send me a reader. Not the solution I wanted, but at least I'd have alarms, especially at night. Abbott sent me, by mistake, a L3 sensor, which I decided to test. I fitted the sensor last Friday the 17th November. The L3 app still requires the 60 minute "warm up", but once done BG readings are displayed instantly in the app and constantly updates. The main difference is scanning the sensor has no effect whatsoever, so you simply click the add a note button and makes notes just like in the L2 app. On to the L3 app. I made no settings changes to my phone before or after installing the L3 app. The first thing I see when I open the app, is No warning to alert me to that alarms aren't working. I deliberately set the alarm levels in the app so the alarms would raise with my current BG reading. They worked a treat. The real test was to put my phone into Do Not Disturb mode, allowing the L3 to override the Do Not Disturb, and low and behold the alarm worked. Peace of mind at night. In conclusion, I find the L3 app to be perfect for my particular needs and application. The sensor is easier to apply, no marrying up the 2 halves like the L2 sensor (which with my hands is becoming increasingly more difficult), and I don't know if it's smaller size, but less uncomfortable to affix. I know there is zero chance of my being prescribed the L3, but with all the different problems many Android users are having with the L2 app, I sincerely hope that Abbott iron out the glitches in the L2 app. [/QUOTE]
