cheers :) :) - (Latest version seems to be bug free again hehe) - built and in extras - devel again.
i'm not too far from promoting it to testing - just want to add some more functions :) - at the moment it is more of an information machine with camera tests and vibrate hehe...

Yep the Dead pixel screen test could be great to implement.
You can implement too a lot of useful scripts for end-users who doesn't want to launch the terminal : uptime/rootfs increase/etc.

Great potential.

hiya noobmonkey

just wanted to say a big thanks again for all your work on this mate

much appreciated and its getting better and better

reeally looking forwards to using it as a clean up app as well

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
Rep added as i like this app..
The progress it is making as well.
Not so keen on the new icon but hey! I don't care that much.

With all these new features you might need to rename it in N900 doctor???

thank you very very much!
started testing some of the cleanup functions last night. need to make a few changes to get them implemented but going well!

i'm hoping if all goes well to get some of them added by the weekend, then i will change the look a little bit and upload to testing :)

haha. good point. maybe the whole thing can be healthcheck and i can add a doctor part for the fixes and a physio part for stress tests!!

oooo interesting to hear about the icon, any feedback is good to hear. i thought it was clearer than the last one but happy to accept any ideas :)

thank you.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
forgot to add, the vibration function needs testing. works fine for me now, but i know there was an issue in a previous version.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
Installed latest version and everything is working brilliant Noob. Vibration test is a nice touch and works perfect.
Just one little thing is it possible to make the update button update all the tabs at the same time instead of one at a time? Just a thought. Thanks again mate.

yup will dot that at then before testing version. at the moment it's quicker to do it separatley for my own testing purposes.

will remeber to re-add it though :)

and great to hear the vibrate works! (i don't use it on mine, so was odd feeling it buzz away again!!!)

Hi, does the test vibrator work correctly? think my vibrator may be faulty or maybe the 900 vibrator is really poor.

hmmm it is very poor - works fine for me and a few others, but that doesnt guarantee its not the app at the moment.
in x-terminal you can run

Code:

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_vibrator_pattern_activate string:'PatternTouchscreen'
to deactivate (do it even if it is not vibrating...

Code:

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_vibrator_pattern_activate string:'PatternTouchscreen'
edit - sorry pulled it out of my code - removed the coding bits... should work now


but a better test is to turn on vibrations in your profile ;) - should let you know if it is working :D

Hmmmm.... i didn't... not sure what's going on with it though......
It seems to use the old icon when it feels, my desktop icon is still the heart....

Must be having a moment!

noobmonkey 2010-03-03 10:17

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
Ok... there seems to be some descrepency in peoples opinions about rootfs saving tools as they can be dangerous.
Other posts mention cCleaner 'like' apps....

I'm thinking specifically running scripts like: to move fonts etc out of rootfs to save space, autoclean, remove unused dependencies etc......

Now i agree normally these are not for the faint haearted, but if i can confirm where they are and move them safely... is this still considered a risk, and not worth including?

As much as i'd like to help the community and add some useful noob-friendly tools - i don't want to go too far so to speak.

I could split the tools into categories
"Safe"
"Testing"
"Development"

Similar to the repo's to provide an example...
Very interested in any opinions, suggestions, examples or solutions people may have?

F2thaK 2010-03-03 12:49

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
icon was old one when i updated, but in app menu it is new one....

the above is a good point also,,

noobmonkey 2010-03-03 13:01

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
Cheers :)
Will investigate the random icon - but as long as the application works i'll be happy :)

Will upload a new version tonight with working notifcation messages, thanks to Attilla for that :D

Might look at categorising tools a bit better - its trying to be user friendly and accurate at the same time, not easy :D

noobmonkey 2010-03-03 15:11

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
Hmm thinking i may do a version without the safety tools - tidy it up tonight and release it into testing.

Any quick guides on how to create a bugtracker? - or can i just link it to this talk thread :) - Much preferred by me, probably hated by sensible developers :D

Thanks :)

Having this would throw out the need to install a bunch of apps (home ip widget + battery etc)

Forgot to mention, Venom - done :D

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
V0.5.2-1 - Built (Or will be in 2 minutes)

Added a safety message before reboot button works.
Repositioned tool buttons
added a notification box. Anyone know how to change the failed icon on this one?

Have tried all variants :(
Code:

bus = dbus.SessionBus()
        proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Notifications', '/org/freedesktop/Notifications')
        interface = dbus.Interface(proxy,dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications')
        interface.Notify('HealthCheck', 0, '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/healthcheck.png/healthcheck.png', 'Comms Tab', 'Finished Loading', [], {}, 2000)


noobmonkey 2010-03-03 18:22

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
Built and available in extras-devel.

noobmonkey 2010-03-03 20:42

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

noobmonkey 2010-03-03 23:08

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
Wow - lol i'm spam-alot today :D - but no answers to the above :(

Anyway - I'm making good progress - well i feel i am :D

New Version! - New Toys! :D

Version 0.5.2-2 - In Extras-Devel (May upload to testing! - would like to fix the notification image though!)

Added Notifications at key points (Again thanks to Attila!)
Added LED Test Patterns! (Just two for now)

noobmonkey 2010-03-03 23:28

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
Uploading V0.5.2-3 into Extras -Testing (Tonight)

Bugtracker = here. Not sure if people will have an issue with this for now? - but at least i am tracking bugs :D

Known issues, but not bugs i feel:
notification icons
Load speed (better after a few loads strangely)
Icon is green in repo's - OLD.... Red and new in app menus.....?!

:D :D TESTERS NEEDED PLEASE :D :D

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900
 
using v0.5.2-3, shows Boot Count = 0 - is this right?

Also ideas for upgrade - speaker test (left channel, right channel)
Microphone check - a quick and dirty level meter perhaps?
Proximity Sensor test

Put these on the tools tab perhaps.

We do like to keep you busy :D :D

Yup - will add the dead pixel test to those iseas and will see what i can do this weekend! :)

Sweet just upgraded to latest version and the update all works perfect mate thanks for incorporating this feature.
Also the front camera clarity seems to have improved 10 fold how did you accomplish that? Great work mate it is fast becoming a must have app.

Awww cheers Casper! :D
It's in extras-testing so vote away! :D - will probably let this one go through, if it is good enough while i work on the next updates :D

Have you updated your firmware since? - that made the front camera better. Also i take 10 buffered shots and use the 10th, seems to allow a bit more light in.

Could in theory do 100+ but it takes time :D
Thanks for the feedback.
