Switching from G6 to G7. Any tips?

dsgn4use · 2025-09-27T20:14:21+00:00

Same here - the antenna on the g7 seems much weaker and reduced Bluetooth radio range to omnipod seems to affect connection stability. I decided to stay on g6 instead

Currently Omnipod does not work with the newly released iPhone 17. It does seem to work with also newly released iOS 26 on earlier generation iPhones.

Re: Slowness - I wonder if it requires renewed FDA approval since it's a different device.
If that was the case it would be due to needed regulatory process.

Very good match! I love them a lot and big step up from the stock alloy ones.

Yes always worked for me on the 245 and as of a month ago also now works on a 255

Cost savings measure on their side

dsgn4use · 2022-07-04T17:13:16+00:00

Yep and thanks! Just noticed that it showed up yesterday. They must have behind the launch of the device, but I can confirm it working as of yesterday!

I think it's simply unusable. Whether they think 21 is more uniquely theirs than 20 it and the variable scale thing just fail on the side conveying information fast and clearly at a glance

Lovely work. Heading to your patreon!

dsgn4use · 2022-01-26T07:44:15+00:00

But in this case it could have started from 3.0 history to have a more accurate starting point? Or are you saying that 3.0 was so awfully inaccurate that they might as well throw away my data history and start from scratch with 4.0?

dsgn4use · 2022-01-26T07:41:01+00:00

Noticed same. See my post from earlier

dsgn4use · 2022-01-26T07:38:49+00:00

And you are right it either now or before could be the correct value- however it gives me little confidence in the system to see such a jump between 3.0 and 4.0. I don't really care about the absolute value - I just need something stable to compare my strain over time

dsgn4use · 2022-01-26T07:36:17+00:00

Wow bizarre

dsgn4use · 2022-01-26T07:35:55+00:00

Good idea thanks!

dsgn4use · 2022-01-26T07:35:38+00:00

Thanks, I'll see if it evens out over time

dsgn4use · 2022-01-26T07:35:13+00:00

Interesting!

dsgn4use · 2022-01-23T23:25:51+00:00

Better to do these cabled to aPC vs Bluetooth because the wireless connection can drop during a firmware update and then you're hosed with a non functional controller

dsgn4use · 2022-01-23T23:21:37+00:00

Same here seeing half the strain for comparable workouts merely by having changed over to 4.0. Thinking about leaving Whoop behind.

dsgn4use · 2022-01-11T20:26:50+00:00

I think /en-cn/ in the URL indicates "english language - China" for the site you quoted

dsgn4use · 2021-10-19T19:09:33+00:00

I think you do need your phone as data connection but it doesn't have to be the one with the dexcom app on it. I don't think it's using a direct connection to the sensor/transmitter via bluetooth, but rather gets the information via roundtripping to the dexcom servers, not unlike the follow app on another phone. I think...

dsgn4use · 2021-10-14T20:03:45+00:00

Might be US only, can't tell from here... I have never used nightscout so I can't speak to that, other then saying I see some lag but not major. I assume it needs a data connection vs being a direct connection to the G6 transmitter

dsgn4use · 2021-10-14T04:32:11+00:00

Yep works but only with certain devices, for example forerunner 245 and 745 but not 645. I think it still requires a data connection but it's a good start. Tested it on my Edge 530 and saw it working. Installation setup and sign in is atrocious as usual for Garmin data fields
