Hi. I have an m5 Xperia. I use an app called librelink to manage my diabetes. Librelink allows me to scan a freestyle libre sensor installed on my body. I was running Android 5 and the app worked fine. I upgraded to marshmallow android 6 last Saturday. Immediately the app stopped being able to scan the sensor and read it. I tried reinstalling the app and it still would not scan. So on Sunday I undertook a full reset. I again reinstalled librelink and it still does not work.

I have switched nfc on and Android beam is on. However occasionally I get an error message whilst the app is open saying nfc is not enabled even though in the settings it is saying it is.

I have tried other apps that do a similar thing to librelink called glimp and liapp and these also will not scan using nfc.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi

I have carried out the nfc test and it has passed.

no the phone is not rooted. Have google locked the nfc chip on marshmellow with the m5 like it is with the SW3?

what happen if you try to use the NFC with your phone and another phone's NFC? does it work?

i just got my nexus 7 2012 and fired it up and they both seemed to recognise android beam.

So I am presuming nfc in android beam mode is functioning correctly?

Are you aware of any other settings i need to configure?

TIA

Perhaps the other device it's not working properly, could you test it with the other phone?

I have the same problem whit the libre.Did you resolve the problem?

not at the moment.

I posted an email to sony customer support. They reccomended another reset route. Ive tried what they said exactly as they said and now I have a completely non-working phone.

Prior to marshmellow everything worked. Since the release I have gradually lost functionality and now I have no phone!

I would just like to be able to go back to the pre-marshmellow days!
