  • 1.  Medtronics update

    Posted 28-11-2022 16:56
    Two weeks ago my phone did an update - it was a big Android system update. After that my Guardian Connect would not work. I kept getting a message that it was no longer compatible with my phone. I rang Medtronics, they were aware of the problem and were working on a solution. I was told to not allow aut-updates on my phone. Say what? There have been probably 50 updates over the last 3 years and there hasn't been a problem, now I'm expected to turn off updates until Medtronics tells me it's okay? I don't think so. Given all the security issues lately, I want my phone as up to date as possible. I still haven't heard any more from Medtronics. Apparently they will send out an email when it is fixed. Meanwhile I am running into problems with unexpected hypos. I no longer have "Wilbur" to yell at me to fix a falling level. I miss Wilbur terribly. Does anyone have any inside info that might help?

    Hi Lisa. Have you got Carelink?   They were warning us not to update till Medtronic fixed the problem. But I thought they had fixed it. 

    I don't update. I used to occasionally. Once I lost my entire calendar on the phone. So don't update now. Also I write everything in paper as backup. 

    At least your name is original. I've just called mine Pumpy. Lol.

    Hi Catherine,

    Yes I do have Carelink, but I received no notification prior to the update. I was just bluntly told when I rang up that I shouldn't have my phone on auto-update. Given the recent security breaches here, I am not prepared to wait for someone else's permission to update my phone. I've had the device for about 3 years now, and the app has survived all updates up until now with no problem. All of a sudden it is. Do they expect everyone to wait until they let them know it was okay to update, every single time?  It has survived two phones, a Galaxy S10 and now a Galaxy S22 without difficulties.  Hoping there is a resolution on the way sooner rather than later.
