Hi I was wondering has anybody had a Kardia and it stopped working, I’ve changed the battery like for like. I purchased it dec.17’. I just started seeing normal rhythm since Thursday after my ablation and then it stops!!😡. Sent email to alivecor waiting for a reply. 4days in and I don’t feel too bad, yesterday I had a weird headache which I think is normal after the ablation.so far so good 😊

Hi Nanchester,

Perhaps we share a similar problem. In my case, Kardia stopped supporting the function of its gadget on 'certain phones'. Perhaps you are one of them. The shonky outfit did so without a word of warning (that I am aware of).

All I managed, apart from wasting time, is to return Kardia and get a refund. Do not expect much service, it only seems to come during the marketing

I have to say that I have had excellent support from Kardia with any problems I've had. I can't fault them !

Can't recall early problem...nothing very dramatic. Latterly my Kardia stopped altogether and unable to locate problem myself, bearing in mind that I am not exactly ' techie...

I contacted Kardia and was taken through the rebooting procedure extremely patiently until all up and running. And an email later to confirm all ok

My kardia stopped working. Eventually I found out that when I had a new battery put in my Apple I phone 5 it was not an actual Apple iPhone 5 battery( you cannot get an Apple iPhone 5 battery even from Apple!). I now have to use the kardia on my husbands iPhone.
