[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2273813, member: 450212"] When I first started using the libre (3ish years ago) I had this problem all the time with my phone, it was really awkward needed to be virtually touching the sensor to get anywhere with it (there was a large amount of grumbling involved) - whilst the abbott reader could happily scan it through a big coat (I have both) Unfortunately I can't tell you how I fixed it though :(, I suspect an app update (you should have the most uptodate one anyway if you have auto-updates turned on) or phone update made it work better for my phone - admittedly I tend to prefer using the reader anyway just because its a lot smaller and more discreet - phones now-a-days are huge - I do still scan every 8 hours with the phone though as its app is much better for looking at the data [/QUOTE]
