[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1535089, member: 295621"] I reached out to Abbott about the discontinued support for the Galaxy S7 and this was their reply: [COLOR=#0080ff]We did not receive an official information what is the exact issue, but the App producer mention that the problem is with the location on the NFC scanner in this particular phone. A lot of our customers had issues that sensor was working just for few days (1-3) and after that was giving error message. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]I still have LibreLink on my S7, because I downloaded it when it was still available - they have no means of removing it. I used it with around 8 sensors and never had a single issue. Glimp is an unofficial app that can be used on the S7 with the Libre, although I never tried it as apparently that can damage sensors also. It would make sense, considering the NFC chip is common to the phone regardless of the app used. It's a pity and also surprising that the S7 Edge has a different NFC chip. You could either try Glimp, or try and source the LibreLink apk file from somewhere other than the Google Play store. It's available online as I've done it in the past. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
