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

oh, didnt realise, nice one! the scale is fine in the jpeg itself, the app just shows it with wrong scale

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

will try aset it to force the scale on it to be a percentage of 800*420.

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

Check my post on the previous page too - asking what people want on it.

Looking at space saving and generic functions to save the user time. (Optify python, move fonts, run auto-clean, cache etc...)

Created the space this week, so i can implement it this weekend :) - so want some lovely suggestions from you all :) (Also if it is complicated, some thought on how to do it, or examples of terminal commands!)

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

Thanks Mackan :D - that thread was my early - developers help me thread - still happy to use it for coding issues, so not to fill this announce thread up :D

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

New build available in 5 mins -

V0.5.0-8
Added reboot button to tools page - as that page was a bit empty - beware it does work!!!
GPS info label now longer to fit more in!
Firmware variant added

Forgot to add the capital R to Firmware- will do on next one

Should now all work? :D

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

V0.5.0-8 - built and available as an update...

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

Reboot doesn't appear to work. Button highlights but nothing happens!?

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

hmmmmm thats what testing is for!

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

out having a meal so will look into it tomorrow :)

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

Still not much feeback on requested tools...

Can't seem to get usb networking working at work, would mean i could do a bit today :( oh well :(

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

what about main camera test>>?

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

u should add the button for USB networking. lol as i cannot get it working ether. would be a nice app to have tho lol.

just bookmarked this page now :) u are doing a good job man. keep it up.

cant wait for the root cleanup tool(free root space, by moveing fonts and so on)

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

hmmm that one needs some thinking i think - could probably get main camera status quite easily though :)

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

hehe cheers, hoping people will actually post examples of ways to clean up the rootfs , the apt tools help, disabling repositories is obvious, but the how/where to move fonts etc... not done it before :(

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

i found this. but it would be nice to have an app that does it

http://wiki.maemo.org/Free_up_rootfs_space

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

Just what i needed - will try and mock up some of the easy ones today and get a version for you to try at about 5/6pm UK time (5.5 hrs away) - may get one done sooner if i get free time at lunch :)

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

Hey this is cool but it says my battery is at %90 but it is full any ideas.

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

are you sure it is full? - really?

If you charge up your device overnight - when you wake up in the morning it will most likely be about 90% :D

Hits about 95-98% on most devices, then stops charging, so by the time you wake up it is down quite a bit...

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

Sorry, forgot to mention, if you go into x-terminal and type the following, whtat is the output?

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

working on fixing it :D

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

Version 0.5.0-9 - Being built

Front camera picture - size is now correct to ratio
Reboot button in tools now works

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

Version 0.5.0-9 - Built and available as an update :)

Working on requests tonight :) hehe

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

Updated front page of this thread with latest version information, screenshots etc...

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

Reboot now working! Nice one.

Could you fix the part that shows my rootfs as only having 13MB free?? ;-)

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

hehe being trying too all night :)

Got all the scripts, just struggling to figure out how to run them as root without the person having rootfs installed..... Tis all a bit complicated :P

Actually trying to figure out lists and treeviews at the moment, 3 hours, and got no where!

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

Battery level oddity:

While charging received system "Battery Full" notification. Launch HC. Battery level at 88%. Push update button: no change. Close HC. Re-launch HC. Battery level at 93%. Update button: no change. :confused:

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

i've noticed that but i think it is a system issue...

My phone after a nights sleep on charge is between 90 - 93% normally, and if i replug the charger in it says fully charged.....

Nothing i can do unfortunately :(

Use battery-eye to show the random charge-loss patterns overnight :(

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

Not sure how to figure the fact that the other day it did show 100%, if you remember :(

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

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%

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

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?

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

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 :)

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

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

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 :)
