Now that the Note 10/10+ models are out, where does the issue of compatibility lie?  Are Samsung and Dexcom collaborating for keeping compatibility up to date?

The dexcom g6 app is not supported yet. Ive tried build your own apps and xdrip with no luck. Called dexcom about this and there is no timeline of completion.

So simply will not fill prescription for sensors. xDrip cannot connect either.  I guess Note 10 users do not matter to Dexcom.

I was able to get xDrip to work on my Note 10.  It wasn't easy though.  I had to wait until it was time to use a new sensor.  Delete the Dexcom App from the Note 10 and any other phone around that has it.  Turn off the Dexcom Receiver as well if you are still using it.  Start with a new sensor.  Use XDrip to start the new sensor.  After the 2 hour warm up time, it will say that it is still warming up.  At this point, restart your phone.  It should ask for a calibration.  After putting 1 calibration, it should start sending you a number.  If that doesn't work, in the Settings Menu, under G5/G6 Debug Settings, uncheck the Use the OB1 Collector box.  Keep checking the xDrip Event Error log to see what's going on.  I found all this out through trial and error and searching through countless xDrip Forums.  Hopefully it'll work out for everyone else too.  I actually like xDrip better than the Dexcom App.  It's just way more confusing.

Kinda stinks. I have my first shipment coming and I cant even use my phone.  If you don't have an iPhone I guess you don't matter to them.

I tried that. It worked for about 1 minute. It showed a reading then lost the signal. 2 hours later it showed a reading again for 2 minutes. I have up and deleted it yet again

Now can connect.  Dexcom says it's compatible. I haven't been able to pair, but all says it should connect.

As of the last update, I've been able to use my Note 10+ successfully with the Dexcom G6 application, paired with my transmitter/sensor.
