A customer informed me today that he just received an update from T-Mobile that fixes the problem.

Two weeks ago I received an Android 10 update on my Samsung Note 9 that appears to have solved the problem with the Bluetooth stack.

My provider is Sprint. I know that there are other Android 10...

Thanks for checking in, Bob.

The best we can tell, only Samsung devices are affected. Why? Who knows. Maybe Samsung has a custom Bluetooth stack.

Here's a heads-up for BluVac+ (Pro, LTE, and Micro) users with Samsung Mobile Devices:

If you are having difficulty connecting your BluVac+ product to the BluVac app on Samsung S9, S10, Note 9, or...

No.

Call me to arrange repair.

Yes, Fonto, we discovered last week that our LCD vendor provided us LCDs without the Bluetooth indicator, but only after we shipped about 50 units to various distributors. You got one of them.

Call me to arrange repair of the gauge in question. Number is on the accutools.com website.

So you got it working, heatingman? Good.

You can always call me at my office if you need immediate service. I often miss new threads here.

Just stick with the alcohol. It works.

Call me, kangaroogod, and let's see what I can do to help you out.

I spoke with Jim earlier this morning. Hopefully, he will join this discussion today to either clarify the operation of the BluVac app, or propose an update to the app.

Hi, Glenn.

Is the run indicator flashing prior to the pressure dropping below 500 microns?

Does the gauge work normally in Evac mode stand-alone (without the app)?

If you want, call me at...

It's just math. You set the parameters. The device predicts whether or not those parameters are going to be achieved.

Actually, it was 15 seconds -- which is the minimum time required for the BluVac Pro to determine a pass or fail of a rise time test.

The BluVac looks forward in time and gives an indication if...

BluVac tech was designed to specifically address problems that plagued micron gauges essentially since their inception, including:

Lack of accuracy, slow speed, low resolution, high power,...

I very much appreciate your comment. You guys will never know how hard it was to pack ten pounds of $(*&@# into that five pound bag.

TruTechTools.com has both.

The DS220 adds liquid volume measure (based either on water or a programmable specific gravity value) and a counting function, in addition to all the features of the...

Jim and I collaborated very closely on the creation of the hoses and kits.

For the hoses, we've developed a KF fitting with an integrated centering ring/o-ring. Two fewer parts to manage and lose (four if you count each end). We consider this a great advantage. So, no,...

Every BluVac I've shipped in about the last three years will withstand at least 1,000 PSI, regardless of what the packaging/manual says.

Icy, if you continue to have problems, please call me. The number is at accutools.com.

For the peanut gallery:

My beautiful in-process sticky thread "My BluVac is Leaking" has gone down the...

Yup.

Unfortunately, I'm not yet set up to be able to quantify the leak accurately. This particular leak limits my minimum vacuum pressure to 130 microns, whatever that means.

Oh, and remember...

Translation, please?

I'll get some from my wife tonight and run it tomorrow.

I found the same thing during my testing. Gas provides much more consistent results.

Even butane from a cigarette lighter worked reasonably well.

Thanks, Ice. That gives me another idea... :p

I still have more testing to do. One of the things I need to pin down is what is the minimum size leak I am able to detect* -- and I'd like to do it in an oz/yr equivalent. This is a work in...

Ice, thanks for posting this video a few days ago. I've run a number of tests over the last few days, and my results seem to agree with you that the speed and resolution of the BluVac tech allows it...

Because they work.

I am sorry for your experience. Yours is the first battery related complaint I've received in 7 years of shipping BluVac products.

You are, of course, free to not choose my...

Ummmm....my claim to fame is my gauges and other instruments. I don't manufacture the batteries -- but I do qualify them prior to packaging them with my products.

Was there a problem with the...

The symptom you describe sounds like the schrader in the Appion is not depressed far enough by the depressor in the coupler, as indicated above.

But you say you've removed the schrader from the...

Considering that I've had no contact with you for a number of years, I am wondering what I did to apparently anger you.

Rather than spread unsubstantiated rumors in a public forum, perhaps it...

The DMG100 and 200 are ours.

In fact, I designed that LCD while I was still a young man. Since then, I've become presbyopic. I feel your pain -- daily.

Is it OK that I point out to the peanut gallery that you have the distinction of being the first BluVac skeptic?

For perspective, the thermistor is about 14 mils in diameter supported on 1 mil platinum wire (about 1/4th the thickness of a human hair).

Just checking to see if anyone actually reads to the end... :grin2:

I can neither confirm nor deny this. Sorry.

The weekend is over. I will answer your first question, and then respond with follow-ups, as necessary. I am the inventor & manufacturer of BluVac, so take my answers with the grain of salt they...

Hi, hvac. I am the inventor of the BluVac tech, and the designer and manufacturer of all the BluVac products. I am spending time with my family this holiday weekend. After Monday, I'd be happy...

Good job, Jim. I appreciate your efforts.

Sorry I am late to this thread. Did I (Dennis Cardinale) talk with you? I don't remember a recent (within days) conversation regarding a Y/J branded BluVac. I have been busy, so I might have just...

I am not aware of any of my scales failing due to static discharge, and they are CE tested for ESD. With that said, I would support you with repair/replacement/refund if you continued to have these...

Yes, it is true.

Select "Quick Tests" -> "Evacuation Tests" from the pull down menu on the main screen. Press "Connect" and select one of the three vacuum tests.

Go to accutools.com and send us a message with your contact details via the Contact Us tab. We'll try to set up with a Micro. Thanks.

Thanks for stopping by, johnpast.

I'm not in the photo...I took it.
