Let me know your thoughts on it, like I said my biggest complaint in no SD for the most part

I have to buy a new/another phone. I have a motorola stylus and it's been a good phone for me. I am not a phone power user.
The Dexcom app from the people that make my continuous blood glucose monitor will not work on a motorala phone. The list they work on is Samsung and Apple and a few brands I've never heard of which I assume is mostly not in the US. No motorala at all. They have some real low end Samsung ones. Odd.

I get service providers not allowing phones on bands but having an app that only works on Samsung or Iphones is odd. Its like saying I have to own Dell to run something on windows os. Maybe I'm way out of the nerd side these days. Normally it would be a certain patent for something but that's not the case with shit like that
I guess what I'm saying is interface/phone features is normally the only thing specific on androids, not apps like that

Being just as baffled as Homsar about this, I briefly googled it and while it seems to be true (for some reason I couldn't quickly see), there are tons of people saying that Dexcom has a Build Your Own Dexcom app which works well for everyone that commented it seems. So, if you don't mind going through whatever process that involves, it sounds like you can buy whatever phone you want.

I haven't dug into it. The new Dexcom thing is brand new but a lot of the phones listed in the docs are not what I would call new. It's the new over the counter glucose deal you don't need a prescription for.
I know on the previous one that did require a prescripition I poked around on reddit and there were a lot of phones that weren't supported but someone had a way around it on the android phones. I guess they programmed a fix to trick it.
On the previous ones I didn't use a phone but they supplied an actual remote deal that all it had was the reading and was very small and I liked it better than using a phone. It was maybe a little bigger than a business card and of course thicker.
Seems like an odd business plan. The prescription ones have an alarrm. Set it to go off if sugar gets to high or too low and it goes off. The non prescription one checks it every 5 minutes just the same and does a graph, but no alarm. Guessing legal is involved and there's a large cost difference I would guesss for basically the same thing.

Fffffffffff
samshit update made the quick select for screen shots gay. Loads slower with din animation. Have to draw a line which never gives me a precise square to copy. Can't seem to drag the box location to give done tune. Just all around way worse to use.

This has got to be a legal CYA thing. They need to provide some certified and tested phones for their users, but they cannot, or do not want to, test and certify every android phone.

Need some input on apps, not so much phones. Got a notification that Verizon is killing Message+ at the end of the month. I have 3 phones on my account, of the 3 I'm the only one that has any tech savvy. Verizon is recommending Google Messages as an alternative but I'm concerned because Google LOVES killing apps. Thinking about changing them all to WhatsApp but I have not used that since 2018 or so. It worked great to call one of my supers in Uruguay. Anyone have input?

Yes the prescription one still works with all the older phones or the device that the thing shipped with, and that's all the device did was just show the blood sugar level.
It's the new one they just came out with that doesn't require a prescription. I don't need the prescription one even though I have a prescription, but they make it more involved than it needs to be. In office appointment every 3 months with the endocrinologist, the eye doctor, the foot doctor etc...
My A1C has always averaged around 4.9 to 5.2
I'm sure a lot of it has to do with insurance requirements. I don't need to get insurance involved at all. The new one you can just buy.

And that worked? I still have to walk my mom step by step on how to type "Find my phone" into Google on her laptop every time she loses her phone (which is at least once a week).
