the receiver is the same size and weight of the old one. And other than Bluetooth operates the same. The manuals are impressive in weight, I assume they are thorough.
The app is easy to setup. It takes a few minutes after the number show up on the receiver before the app will even “connect” to the receiver
The fact that the app doesnt do any alerts, and is unable to keep more than 24 hours of data is kinds crazy … The bluetooth function has little value for me but its a positive development.
Hope the battery life is not impacted
Waiting impatiently for the integrated Tandem pump so I don’t have to carry the separate receiver
Doug, Is that the share app showing on your phone or the follow app?
Can you post the manual listing of upload devices, and also the follow devices.
See so much speculation on boards about what works on each end would like to finally see it in print from the user manual!
So only the follow app/devices will give alerts?
Dexcom has posted what devices work with each app. I assume Share is for the cradle and Share2 is for the Bluetooth receiver? (they don't clarify that)
There are NO alerts on the share app - What you see is the app on my phone connected to the Dexcom
I havent shared it with anyone yet - tried to install the follow app on my Ipad and it refused to install with an incompatible IOS error
I went ahead and added the follow app to my same phone and it worked - It looks like there are definitely alerts on the follow app - So I was wrong - looks like I hurried through the setup and as usual failed to read the manual
here are some images of both share and follow 
As I understand it this replaces the cradle completely The receiver talks direct to the share phone which sends the data to the dexcom webserver where the followers get the data
I was wrong about the alerts - the share app has none the follow app has alerts
here is image of the 100 page share manual - What specifically are you looking for from the manual 
Thanks for posting, Doug. Just curious- how long between placing your order did you have to wait for the receiver to arrive? Just wondering how long of a wait I'm in for.
The USB port ripped off My 2 year old one this weekend - its just coincidence that it was same day new product was released I called Monday and it was here wed, Fed ex said it wouldnt get here till Thursday ( today )
They were able to confirm Ins and ship same day which is pretty awesome since the battery on my old one was dying and no USB means I cant recharge
It was easier since they had a valid RX on file from supplies orders
One of my dislikes of the G4 receiver is it's short history display, even though it does store more history, it can't do anything with it. I was hoping the app would allow this, but seeing that it doesn't really is a let down. 24 hours use is helpful, but there is real help that comes from seeing long term data.
I agree - no idea why it doesnt display the data it has past 24 hours And now that its sending the same info to a device with a much bigger screen and faster processor why it doesnt there ... Im betting its FDA related
So you don't have to connect the "uploader" phone to the receiver like you do with NS? I assume the receiver would have to be within 20 ft of the phone?
No connecting the phone to the receiver. It is supposed to be within 20 feet but many with the cradle say that they get much more than 20 feet. We haven't pushed it.
