eVic not found

[jtpjc]

Got a problem with my eVic (1.1 firmware). When I connect it with my pc, which is running Windows 7 64 bits, the machine recognizes there's something connected, but MVR doesn't pop up. When I start MVR manually, it doesn't show the initial window with Only Charging/See My Vapor Record. It starts right up with the next window, with the five maintenance options. Sometimes these options show some data, but mostly not. Changes I make (like my name) are not accepted: "Has not found the hardware equipment!!!" Changing the battery, restarting the pc, no luck. Anybody any idea? Restoring the firmware won't work, because the eVic isn't recognized. Am I just being stupid here, or is there something wrong? Anybody have any ideas?

Have you tried another cable?

Too many USB stuff plugged-in?

The cable should work. After all, the computer recognizes there is something connected and working correctly. Don't have another cable of this type, as far as I know this is a micro usb cable, not a mini of which I have plenty. Too many usb stuff not possible: my computer is used to much more abuse. And if I remember correctly, one pc usb port can handle something like 128 devices

ETA: the eVic is charging nicely through this cable. Can't vape it at the same time though.

i would unplug the usb and take the battery out of the evic and reinsert, try again, another usb cable try again, then uninstall the program and go through the reinstall again and see if any of that works

I uninstalled MVR, installed it again and now, against all logic, it works. Thank you very much.

Yeah. Ive had the same issue. Had to reinstall the software to get it to recognise it. But, i only plan to use the software to do firmware updates anyway.

Same here. I bought two evics, the 1st one worked fine w/mvr and the update. the error message came when i attached the 2nd evic, it just didnt want to recognize it..

uninstall and re-install and voila. but now my 1st evics info is lost.. not that i really care how many puffs i took yesterday but u know..

Does the evic software work with a Mac?

They don't have an OSX download on their website, so no. I've heard rumors they are working on one, but a safe bet is - if it's only available for Windows on Joyetech's website, you're going to need to use bootcamp/windows to use it.

I'm a Mac and Linux user as I think Windows is a joke and mess for stability. Crossing my fingers for at least a Linux version.

According to the Joyetech's website they are working on a OSX version of MVR to be released soon. I am waiting for it too.

that happened to me- found out you can unplug it, press the button, replug adn keep button pressed in at least 2 seconds. Should work. You've updated?
