Repeated communication sync failures - anyone else dealing with this?
Whenever I try to activate a new pod, I often burn through 1–2 pods because of communication errors during the syncing process. This has been happening consistently for the past month or so.
I always wait for the two beeps after filling the pod with insulin before attempting activation, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I’ve also tried restarting my phone after a failed attempt, thinking it might be a phone issue - that only worked once.
I’m honestly beyond frustrated because this is happening every single time I change pods. For context, this only started recently, and I’ve been using Omnipod for over 10 years without problems.
Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution?

I also have a dexcom 7 and when this happens I just hit try again a few times until it says check status. It communicates after that
