I think this is likely going to be a confusing extra bit of information and there was a batch of transmitters that didn't have good batteries but for a very long time now I have never seen this problem even with almost at the end of shelf life transmitters being used. If the battery dies there is nothing we can do so I don't think it really matters to know what the inactive days might have been as we will have low battery stats recorded if battery was the issue. |
Please consider this scenario: Someone posts on facebook asking for advice because their G6 has stopped working. If the battery is dead when the transmitter has been sitting on the shelf for a very long time, it is pointless to contact Dexcom. We always tell users that engineering mode is only for testing. Please reconsider. |
I have tested this on an old Android 8 phone, on an Android 11 Motorola Stylus and on An Android 13 Pixel 6a. |
The timer is about 50 seconds if you stay on the status page. |
There are individuals who order extra G6 transmitters so that they have a replacement ready. The result is that they are always using older transmitters than they have to.
At times, we see transmitters that still have many days left, yet, the battery dies.
But, to confirm that the transmitter is old, we have to ask them to enable engineering mode.
This PR will let us see what we need with no need to enable engineering mode.
After this PR, inactive days is shown below transmitter days as shown below.
