yup......
do remember... but batteries are funny things :) - never seen my battery go above 96% ever :(

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

Ok, fair enough. What about it's not reading the level correctly when plugged in. Also a system thing? But shouldn't it read correctly after you unplug and hit the update button?

Come to think of it, the update button never refreshes the battery level.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

I don't think it's the fact it's not reading properly as much as the battery never generally gets to 100%

noobmonkey,

Here is an idea for your Tools tab - System Monitor/Crash monitor. Many people have been reporting issues with crashes, reboots, freezes, etc. However, when asked by Nokia or third-party developers collect system info, they didn't know how (I would be one of them). I thought it would be great to be able to start a System monitor that would run in the background writing critical system information to a text file every so many seconds or minutes (configurable), so when the system crash occurs, a user would just upload the collected file for the developer to review without needing to know CLI commands. The System monitor can have the following options:
1. Check boxes for processes/parameters to monitor
2. Polling frequency
3. Collection period (minutes, hours, indefinitely)
4. Overwrite the collection file after it reaches certain size (configurable)

I may be wrong, but the System monitor wouldn't take much of system resources but would help everyone users and developers make their applications and the OS more stable. Thoughts?

wow good idea... but i have to admit the whole idea is beyond me at the moment! :D
How about some tools that show terminal command outputs? :D - or read specific log files? :D

tis interesting :)

Quick update

CURRENT Version 0.5-0-9 (In Extras-Devel)

• Battery Status (%)
• Accelerometer readout
• GPS Position
• Firmware version
• Roots Free (mb) / Used (%)
• CPU Information
• N900 Hardware board info
• System Locale
• Front Camera image test (Point it at a good light to confirm it works, still poor quality!)
• Phone/Cell information
• Possibly implement country/variant type for firmware
• Add more storage space information (Mydocs)
• Add a phone reboot button (Mazi requested)

Planned for future versions

• List of enabled repositories

• List of installed applications + App info
• Run commands, apt-get clean etc... (need help with this!)
• Networking : Add local/3g/wireless IP
• Bluetooth - confirm enabled and working
• Front camera check
• Move all the labels into a table/list view (need help with this!)
• Vibration check
• Rootfs Space saving scripts
• Infra-red tests

At the way i'm going it will be a good month before i get a filled version into testing :( But appreciating all the feeback i can get :D

Also - still wanting a mod to rename the title please :D :D - Still got my spelling mistake in it!

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

great stuff! Is it possible to check the infrared in any smart way?

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

ooo good point.......
As it only sends.... not the easiest... but will definitley look into it!

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 

hey just installed and saw quite a lot of nice info, this app has real diagnosis potential :)

perhaps you could have a "run and export tests" thing so people can use the info to help with problems.

when it opens the gps to get position, does it just grab current stored location, or actually lookup a new position - cos if its looking up, that was the fastest lock on record!

the camera update thing needs to be able to grab photos from both cameras.

one thing which niggles - the position of the system reboot button in relation to the tabs.
i misclicked when moving to another tab and rebooted.
speak to some of the ux designers who hang around and try to listen to any input you can get.

a nice tool, well done :)
