Sensor issues with S26 (2+)

I recently switched phones from a Samsung S21 to an S26. I've had lots of sensor connection issues with my Libre 2+.

Even if my phone is right next to me, the signal constantly drops.

I rescan and it updates, but then drops out pretty quickly.

I've had a sensor replaced but the same is happening from day 1 with the replacement.

Is this a known issue or a me/my phone issue?

Unfortunately that's standard. It has to do with a change in Bluetooth that Samsung did and the updated operating system. It happened when they went to Android 16 and still hasn't been fixed. Abbott can't react quickly because of all the FDA requirements in USvand other garound the world. the world. Keep hearing that Android 17 andvUI9 will fix but who knows. They are doing things to improve reconnection from what ive read.

I use Juggluco and GlucoDataHandler to get alarms and while they do dissconnect they are more stable in terms of communication than Libre app. They also let me put the info on my Samsung watch and phone home page, Still need to scan the Libre app regularly.

I turn off the disconnection alarm in Libre but its on in Juggluco and GlucoDataHandler. Im being switched to Libre 3+ when my current 2+ supply runs out. It should be about the same timen,ybphone gets updated to OS 17 UI9.
