[Diabetes-Talk] Bluetooth question about Dexcom

Yes, voiceover definitely is sluggish with Bluetooth ear buds. I notice it more with my laptop than phone, but for sure.

Dave beat me to it. <grin> The other issue is how often any device connects to blue tooth. For instance, Dexcom checks in every 5 minutes. So if you go into your blue tooth settings it will tell you that Dexcom is not connected unless you catch Dexcom in the act of looking for a reading. I sometimes have trouble when I use headphones and a braille device at the same time though. I have no trouble with Dexcom and a blue tooth speaker or headphones. The only thing I've noticed is that sometimes with multiple devices paired, VoiceOver just gets really sluggish.
But I do think the newer phones are better at this. <grin> Veronica

I could be wrong, but I don't think bluetooth has anything to do with your service provider.  It is communication between two devices, in close proximity.  Capability depends on the devices, the version of bluetooth, and your operating system I believe.
