Just had a near death experience of sorts where the pump alerted me that I had 30 minutes of battery life left, but I had no spare battery on hand. Luckily I replaced it in the nick of time. What happens if the battery dies? When you replace the battery, do you have to go through the 48-hour Smart Guard warmup period? Do you have to reprogram all your settings? TIA
I'm now 3 1/2 weeks into my transition from the 780g to the Flex. The experience has been flawless and drama-free. My TIR is consistently higher than on the 780g (I've already documented that in another post), and the operational characteristics are much better. I've had to learn to stop trying to check the pump status by reaching for the pump instead of my phone, but that habit is slowly fading. I can't believe how much the reduction in physical size and weight has made the pump almost unnoticeable in my pants pocket. Also, not having to worry about my 780g battery going from yellow to red at the most inconvenient time is great too. I've had no issues with Simplera Sync connectivity or runtime. I did obtain the App Manager phone for backup when I travel, but other than setting it up for the first time, I haven't used it at all. I'm currently on my Samsung Z Fold 7, Android 16, and I will not update the OS until the phone is compatible with the MiniMed App.
I am planning on updating my sons pump to take the new sensors, I haven’t had our delivery of them yet so will be continuing with the guardian 4, once I’ve updated will I need to reconnect the sensors? Or is it best to wait for replacement day as I have started a new one today so don’t want to lose a new one, if it will need restarting after the update.
Does anyone know ho to upgrade the firmware from 770G to 780G, medtronic says firmware update is no longer available.
Just got my Flex pump (whoopee) and started to get it activated… until I hit the screen that says “this phone may not be compatible…” Uhm… what? I have an iPhone 12 version 26.7.1. I was under the assumption that this phone was okay. On further research I see the iPhone 12 Pro is good but not necessarily the 12. I’m hoping the words “May not “ give me some wiggle room. Anyone have experience with this? Or do I need to upgrade my phone? Which means I need to wait a few more days.
