Hey all
I've just started on a libre and I have a samsung s8 which I'm finding it impossible to scan with as it just doesn't do it. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm just wondering if it's the phone itself!
Cheers

Do you have a case on your S8? I had an S8+ which scanned fine, once I had found the sweet spot for the NFC chip

I have a samsung s 20 which is quite awkward at times with reading the sensor. i have to hold it over the sensor and wait for the second vibration/beep. sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesnt. However I am having a dreadful time with the actual sensors. My last 5 have all played up and stopped working . All within the first week of use. Does anyone else get problems?
