Does anyone else have issues with low glucose alarm not going off during the night. When I go to bed I turn my WiFi off and leave everything else the same but my alarm only goes off after I've woken up and tested my levels. Not really useful. I use a galaxy S10! I kneow previously my phone has been set up to go into sleep mode and nighttime mode but I turned all that off.

I’m probably not the best person to ask as I use the reader for my Libre, and I’m a complete technophobe.
But, one thing I notice about my phone is that when I put it into Aeroplane mode to disable the Wi-fi, it automatically disables Bluetooth as well, and I have to switch it back on manually. Is this happening to yours? The Libre sensor alarms communicate via bluetooth, so it needs to be functioning.

I also am no expert, but I have noticed that when I turn my wi-fi off during the day due to being out and about and the wi-fi being poor, I receive continuous alarms for loss of signal even though my phone is in my pocket and well within the Bluetooth range, so I am guessing that wi-fi connection plays some part in the Bluetooth communication.

Hell have few devices connected to Bluetooth on phone, ear pods & medi nav in car being 2. Still get alarms so wonder if it depends on phone manufacturer or something.
