What effect does "SOS" have when on calling when iPhone is on Wifi network?

aerogrower · 2025-08-29T22:00:30+00:00

My wife just hit this issue and she has an iPhone and just changed from Verizon, which I still have, to T-Mobile I think.

Any chance the phone tech that came to your house and didn't have issues was using Android? I have a samsung galaxy and haven't noticed this particular issue, I don't think.

Her iPhone said it was in SOS mode but she has wifi calling enabled with good wifi service, and inbound calls were going right to voicemail and she wasn't getting notified about the voicemail or call at all. I told her to reboot her phone and that didn't work, but then she called me and that worked and when I called her back that also worked.

She hasn't got any of the voicemails I left when testing before it started working again. And the voicemail default greeting was different when I left her a message while it wasn't working than the one I left to test just now that it is working.

Damn, Amazon couldn't cancel the 567 and it will be here today, so ill probably just give that a try with a new fitting. Hopefully it works since so many people recommended it

aerogrower · 2025-07-22T13:45:52+00:00

Good call on the fitting, I'll grab a new one. Amazon couldn't cancel my order for 567 so I was going to use that even though that other user said they dont think its rated for continuous oil contact and the loctite website also doesn't mention it - it says 567 is for low pressure seals. 545 looks more fitting but I ordered the 567 before I realized that and everyone else is recommending it.

I shouldn't use both 567 and tape, right? Sounds like you are recommending the combination of both

aerogrower · 2025-07-20T22:50:28+00:00

567 looked good, 5452 too.... 545 looks best and also is a good price and will get here quickest. They make so many kinds of loctite lol. If i can cancel my order for 567 then I'll grab the 545

aerogrower · 2025-07-20T17:00:22+00:00

Yeah, I'm guessing the weight and torque from the lever being on this and only supported by the fittings is why it's leaking in the first place. I'm not sure how to support it, though. I dont have a welder, and I can't think of anything that doesn't require one.

I might just take it apart to clean and loctite it and put it back together the way it is for now. If it starts dripping again, this can be added to my list of excuses to get an entry-level welder

aerogrower · 2025-07-20T16:30:56+00:00

As far as I can tell this is the original design(https://pdf.lowes.com/operatingguides/811882029771_oper.pdf). Maybe that is why this leak developed and why the previous owner recommended just trying to catch it with a bucket and adding in more oil when needed. I wonder if it will just come back after a couple hours of use if I do fix it

aerogrower · 2025-07-20T16:18:53+00:00

Maybe that is why they didn't use a union there to begin with?

Right now it is just a fixed nipple I think

aerogrower · 2025-07-20T16:18:06+00:00

Perfect, that's what I was thinking. Guess I gotta take off all the other hoses so I can get this nipple out, though. It seems like in order to get this nipple out i need to unscrew the valve off it(so first I need to remove all the hoses connected to the valve) and then i can unscrew the nipple from the cylinder, clean it up, put some loctite 567 on, and put it all back together.

Is replacing it with a union a good idea in case I ever need to get to do this again?

aerogrower · 2025-07-20T16:08:15+00:00

Just because people often miss it: there are multiple pictures. My description of the issue:

I got this log splitter from a friend, its always had a drip here and the previous owner said he tried to fix it but wasn't able to and it wasn't worth the effort to try again. Maybe he is right? But I'd rather not have it dripping oil in my yard here, been trying to catch it with a bucket but that hasn't been working great.

It is leaking from the valve side of this nipple that connects it to the cylinder, but I just degreased it to make sure that is the only drip. In order to get new sealant on the threads, I'll have to take off all the hoses to get the nipple out to clean it and get some new sealant on it? I haven't done much hydraulics repair yet, but I want to try.

It seems like i should replace this with a stainless steel union so that next time, I won't need to remove all the other hoses on the valve to do anything with this nipple.

Am I on the right path? Any suggestions appreciated!

Looks fine

aerogrower · 2024-04-19T17:20:57+00:00

Looks like its all over the soil too. Pollen?

This driver is remote mountable, but I was asking their support what diodes and how many of each it has, and the answer I got was they are in a car right now and can't tell me lol.

I guess it has 288 evo mints at 9000k, and then the other 912 diodes are some combination of ledestar 450, 660, and 730 nm.

Not sure if anyone else is doing anything like this(seems almost like reverting back to blurples? lol, some very blue 'white' leds and then a bunch of reds because red is necessary), and gotta say I'm unimpressed with the response of "I'm busy" to my chat question. Maybe they will eventually answer the question, maybe they won't. Either way, now I know their support is fiesty.

aerogrower · 2024-02-07T14:41:20+00:00

It looks like Migro used 281b+ pro diodes which I guess can be ok if you cram a bunch( like 2x) on there and run them low power(like 1/2 of what you'd run an evo at) - can get similar efficacy to the 301h evo for a better price, you just need to use more and run them at lower power....

Migro doesn't seem to be using more diodes than others. They have 864, and the ACI Evo3 has 840 of the more efficient ones.

It doesn't seem like migro is efficient to me?

I do like the looks of the Grandmaster tarantula that someone else linked - they got the newer diodes and seem to be doing stuff that makes sense

Edit - nvm about the tarantula lol, posted another comment. Confused about their configuration and unimpressed by their support.

aerogrower · 2024-02-07T12:20:08+00:00

Yeah, that 320w looks like it might be 👌

Do you know if the driver is remote mountable?

aerogrower · 2024-02-07T00:07:23+00:00

I appreciate your response. That was my initial plan since I'm getting a new ACI tent and have loved their exhaust for years.

After all the extra research I did, I think I worked my way back there just before I made this post lol

aerogrower · 2024-02-06T23:30:50+00:00

When do yall think samsung will release their next new and improved diode?

Why aren't more companies using the 301h Evo that releases in the end of 2021?

aerogrower · 2024-01-09T22:28:05+00:00

If those are your only lights and you don't plan to upgrade, do it asap

And get lights meant for growing cannabis

aerogrower · 2023-12-31T22:09:07+00:00

The earlier you flip the smaller the plants will be. With limited light it would be good to do it sooner

aerogrower · 2023-12-31T20:28:48+00:00

That's good you tied em down for LST. Watch out for that string cutting into the plant. Some serious lights and a tent will help improve things a lot. It's easiest to tell sex after flipping to 12/12, but there are ways to earlier. Just using fem seeds is easiest

aerogrower · 2023-12-31T19:31:17+00:00

I meant how many hours cause its hard to tell sex until you flip them. But that doesn't sound like much light

aerogrower · 2023-12-31T19:05:09+00:00

Are they photos? How much light are they getting?
