Nokia Diagnostics: New Experimental Troubleshooting Application From Beta Labs

The good folks over at Nokia Beta labs have just introduced a new experimental application called Nokia Diagnostics.

The main intention behind creating this experimental software is to create a solution for helping millions of Nokia users diagnose, troubleshoot, and configure their devices with ease on their own.

Beta lab’s developers believe that exposing this idea to the Beta Labs community and sharing this application prototype would help them realise just that.

With Nokia Diagnostics, you can diagnose, troubleshoot and configure your device using five different tests:

• Network Coverage test. You can get all the network related information and detect offline status & SIM card presence.
• Internet Connectivity test. Perform a real-time Internet connectivity test and identify the setting with which you can have a seamless internet access.
• Battery Charger test. Check if your device charges properly with the charger connected.
• Loudspeaker, Earpiece test. Check your loudspeaker & earpiece functionality.

Please download the application (requires login), try it out on your device, and post your feedback at Beta Labs. In particular, we are interested in hearing about other diagnostic tests you would expect to see in such an application. said Ravi Sarma NBL
