Dexcom G7

I've been using the G7 with xdrip for a while with no issues but the latest sensor is giving my trouble. All recordings are 5 minutes stale. I continuously get updates but only the last reading. For example, it will say the last reading was 9 minutes ago, then it gives me an update and says the last reading is from 5 minutes ago. It never catches up. I was on a previous nightly and updated to this version in the hope that it would fix it but it did not.

This has been reported before.
Do you have another phone you can use for a test?

If yes, disable collection on your current xDrip: https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Stop-xDrip.html
Wait 15 minutes.
Install xDrip on the test phone.
Set it up to connect to your G7.
Do you see the same behavior on the test phone?

Unfortunately not... anything else I can try? I can live for another 9.5 days but it is pretty frustrating.

Disable collection.
Install Dexcom app.
Follow the instructions to start your G7.
After it starts showing readings, on the screen, change the time scale to zoom in.
Please show a screenshot.

To this day, I still have not been able to figure out if this is a failure of G7 or a flaw in xDrip.
That's why I would like to see these tests. If it is xDrip, we will fix it.

Sorry I didn't get back to you. It seems like a sensor problem I guess... I just did what you suggested and I only see readings get updated every 5 minutes with the reading from 5 minutes prior. Maybe some timer issue on the sensor itself? Whatever... I guess I'll live until the next one.

This is at 1:58, after getting an update. You can see the update time is noted as 1:52.

Can I ask though... how do I re-enable my sensor on xdrip? I uninstalled the Dexcom app and re-selected g6/g7/1/1+ as a source... but it isn't getting my readings.

Never mind. I found this answer: #3314

Instead of using QR code version for new users, I used a backup I made before uninstalled of my xdrip install. Hopefully that's not problematic. I have readings now. Thanks.
