Q: system diagnostic tools?

Hi,
I just dropped my phone. So far all still working nicely but I'm quite paranoid
Is there any apps or tool to diagnose our nexus one. Just checking if all system devices working properly (GPS, wifi, radio, touch screen, etc)
Cheers,

If it isn't a problem, don't make it into one. Just keep an eye on it, and watch for problems...

I spent half an hour to check my phone.
You would want to know as soon as possible if there's any devices damage, wouldn't you?
Is android system throws some informative message if there is hardware failure?

There's different apps to test the performance of different things (like network speeds), but I don't know of any all in one app that test things to make sure they are working...?

I used sony ericsson walkman phone before android. They have some secret menu that allows you to check screen, vibrate, keys test, sounds, etc
Is there anything like that on android?

anyone found one yet?
Old thread, but it came up in a Google search and it doesn't look like anyone's covered this elsewhere in this group.
Dropped my N1 over the weekend, and this morning noticed it's losing network & data regularly, and only connecting 2G, not 3G or 4G. Ugh. Hoping it's just sunspots, but it would be nice to be able to run diagnostics that test the various systems for any failures or out of spec values.
I've unlocked my N1 and am running cyanogenmod 7.2 if that helps.

Check out this link, it might have some useful apps:

thanks!
Thanks for the link, I'll take a closer look at those.
The good news (?) is that it turns out T-Mobile had a data network outage for most of the day today. They buried it on their support website behind an east coast outage report for last weekend's heavy weather, so I didn't see it. Big thank you to All Things D for clueing me in, and I'm reinstalling my apps now.

iDisplay, anyone tried it??

I've read some reviews that it doesn't work w/the Xoom.

Pfft didn't work on my Evo either.

So you can confirm it doesn't work on the Xoom?

Ya I can confirm ti doesn't work yet... seems to not be supported for 3.0 yet... but then again most devs are waiting for AOSP to drop so that can take advantage of integrating the Tegra chip fully

Prior to purchasing, I emailed the dev to confirm that it would work on my Xoom and was assured it would.
It took all of my 15 minute return window to get it set up and test it, only to find that it doesn't want to play nice w/my Xoom (it works well on my D1 though).
I have emailed the dev and they have had me send them logs from my PC and Xoom and assure me that they will get it working or they will refund me.
I really appreciates me some good communication!

Did they ever get it working? or give your $$ back... I really want to get this app but I've heard bad things about it on honeycomb/Xoom (is there a difference at this point?)

i have it and it works fine on the xoom. synch and resolutions issues, but no different from my nexus s

Seems to work...

It works but performance is not what I would call stellar. There is significant lagtime for movements and the refresh rate is closer to a slide show than anything.
I have kept it because it does work and I am hopeful over time they will improve performance.

HDMI Out / Dock

Does anyone know if the dock support mirroring now that we're on honeycomb? I know it didn't prior to the upgrade. I'd love to know. If not, what does it support, and would it be possible for any developer to write a video driver that would at least allow switching to hdmi (I have a broken screen, but still use my streak a lot with bluetooth keyboard/mouse).

51 views and no replies? Does anyone have the HDMI dock? It appears that the net has not 1 single review of the HDMI dock after the recent OS upgrade.

HDMI Works
Definitely works. Game emulators look awsome at 46inches.

I'm using honeystreak r8 and just got a dock and get nothing? It charges and triggers "dock mode" my monitor has input sense & see something at the end of the cable (tried 2 different ones does this need a "data hdmi"?) but no hdmi from any app (stage. cam. various vid players, no dell sync) no usb, not even a failed usb install, any ideas on how to fix this?

I am running the same (r8). My docks hdmi works fine. Perhaps trying another TV or monitor will work. I use 2 different tv's and cables and I have not had that issue.

Looks like the connection to the dock was/is iffy I assumed the "doink" meant it was good to go, but then noticed it was "connected" but not charging.I've been testing with a video from the camera choosing "video" as the player but don't get any hdmi popup (should I) and I can tell it's getting something cause the resolution changes on the tv but no vid?

It just connects, there is no toast message or such.

I am on cm10.1 and am mirroring just fine on my 52" Samsung with full screen. If you aren't getting video and or charging? Its something wrong with your pdmi port when you dock the streak. Broken pin? Something in either side of the connection?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Is mirroring native on 10.1 or are you running an app to do it?

I dock and it it displays on the tv after a few seconds

I dunno the details of the kernel history development, but I spent very little time on honeycomb. Have used Giveen roms all along and the feature has always worked from ics betas up through the jellybean work

Do you have a link for giveen roms? I've tried cm-10.1/vm-9/honeystreaks and have yet to find one where everything works..

Dude.... this device never had source code released and the strives that have been made in development are incredible considering the low number of knowledgeable people doing all the work from scratch.
I suggest you go buy a newer device with a wider range of development. Otherwise try to contribute to the streak development rather than complain that you can't find a perfect fit for your needs.
Stick withhoneycomb if you can't cope with certain variables and bugs. My dock worked on honeycomb for charging and hdmi output.
I don't mean to sound like a dyck, but you don't realize how you sound expecting everything to work perfectly and I have been following the progress of the development and offering help where I can from using and providing user feedback. It's not like I have made any type of major contribution, but I know the geniuses toiling over code for hours on end to resolve issues and bugs and sharing their work for the benefit of us don't appreciate comments that come across as whining or being ungrateful.... just try to hear yourself, my 2 cents
Giveens work can be found here and on tabletroms.com
Good luck

Well excuse me, I'm the kind of dyck who likes my s h i t to actually work, sorry if I didn't sacrifice enough blood and sweat over the "streak" , considering I'd never heard of it till last week,and never would have if my carrier wasn't dumping cmda for gsm. But next time I'll be sure and check with you before I post in an existing thread on the exact issue I'm try to fix, I have to take a dump now if that's ok with you??

Dude, relax
You say you are running honeystreak, which has been dead for quite a while and had its set of quirks. It is a custom ROM. You are wanting everything to work? = you want stock!!!
Go rock honeycomb. You own a device that officially lost support from the manufacturer in 2011. End of story.
You could even go back to froyo and have a "fully functioning ROM". Read some stuff, then read more. And start off with the XDA rules... learn the appropriate place to ask your question (this thread is not relevant to development and/or particular to an actively developed ROM)
Mods: please lock this thread.
Scottfree1: your question has been answered. Sorry if you are butt hurt, it was not my intention to upset ya. I hope dropping that deuce helped out a bit.
Dock works fine for users on stock honeycomb. Good luck

Sorry didn't mean to get so bent, it was three in the morning and I was frustrated, turns out it was the pdmi connector which seems to be dissolving before my very eyes, looking left to right it gets thinner and thinner to the point I don't think the whole thing is even there. I eventually got it working, but if a butterfly in africa flaps its wings ist kaput. I know people but a lot of effort into these things, and when I list what versions I've tried it is not an insult it's just to eliminate have tried so and so ??'s thanks for everyone's help..

Slow screen rotation

Hi everyone
Lucky enough to get my nexus from currys last night before they'd made it properly onto the shop floor loving it so far but for one issue and that is REALLY slow rotation of screen in apps... chrome tapatalk YouTube everything takes forever as if it hasn't realised its been tipped over... a very heavy flick seems to help it along but that's really not good enough and I look a bit mental!
I tested with an accelerometer test app and all axes seem to register through all range of motion and even move v slowly so seems to me hardware fine and software bug? I read a Google post that there was an issue on nexus phones in December... anyone experienced it with the 7
Thanks

I guess it makes me feel better to know that I'm not the one having this problem. I wish instead neither of us were though!

I'm going to to try and flash a stock image tonight in hopes that it isn't the hardware. I also downloaded an app from the market that tests the sensors, and everything appeared fine there. If flashing back to stock doesn't fix it, I guess I'll be forced to do another exchange.....

i freakin HATE 4.2

Since updating to 4.2, my screen brightness keeps going up and down from moment to moment, things generally run a bit slower, the lock screen is buggy and Quickoffice can no longer save changes to files. Not exactly a forward step.

Same here buddy, lockscreen takes a long time to respond

Are you sure you turned off automatic brightness?

Google released a bad update, I don't know why people yell at others for being upset. We didn't see threads like this at all for 4.11 or 4.12. Its obvious that Google obviously needs to work on this as people don't post threads like this for no reason.

If it was really a bad update, why doesn't it affect everyone? I have a stock locked tablet, and simply flashed Google's factory image.. No issue whatsoever!

I have almost only good experiences with the 4.2, generally feel more stable and haven't noticed any sluggish behaviour. Only problem Im having is with bluetooth, it won't remember profile selections for my paired devices. So everytime I connect to my phone for internet access I need to go and tick internet access under profiles

The majority of people come here for solid technical advice, and some of this discussion hardly inspires confidence. We also need confidence in Google as we have invested in their product and it is perfectly legitimate to raise concerns about the 4.2 update that they pushed to our devices
If you use Bluetooth, for example to tether, then you will have been thrown by the changes to the interface. It was not obvious how to connect, and is actually quite inconsistent in that clicking the device name disconnects which is different to what's needed to connect.
One of the advantages the Nexus has over the Mini is the 16:10 screen great for widescreen movies. It's no surprise then that loss of USB mount (a feature available when many of us decided to buy the Nexus) has hit us hard. Yes there is a paid App which might allow movie streaming but I use the USB to extend storage for the huge game files we must download and so this is a major loss.

On a serious note. I am yet to face any problems with 4.2. I like it alot. Battery life is great, keyboard is great and quick settings i love.
Just like 4.1.2 but with extras

Screen brightness is an isolated issue I suspect not caused directly by Android, as most people don't see it.
Everything runs just as fast as 4.1.
Quick Office has a coding problem, not Android.
Stop.
I have only seen 1 real bug in 4.2 and that's the missing December bug.

It is most certainly NOT as fast for me, just because it is ok on your device please don't assume everyone else's is the same!

I actually love 4.2. A little lag here and there, but I owned a Huawei Ascend with like a 500 mHz processor, a Samsung Sidekick 4G with a 1 gHz processor, and a Kindle fire. Seriously Google isn't perfect (but they are damn close) they released an update you don't like, does that mean you should cry and hit the new thread button? No, it means you should just flash 4.1.2 and save server space. Especially when there are 100 other topics exactly as useless as yours. We don't need more of them.

Clearly you and other folk unhappy with 4.2 should IMMEDIATELY upgrade to Windows Mojave. It will solve all your concerns. Pinky swear!!!

Has nothing to do with Prism, the heuristics on the backlight seems to allow it to ramp up and down faster than it did before. In fact before the N7 seemed to be very stubborn to change levels, now it's a little too fast perhaps.

No matter what version or ROM I'm using I don't use automatic brightness. I use the lowest setting and adjust when I need to.

Hating it and loving it ? - wow these are strong words for an OS. Just like W8 people just can't work out whether its the cool thing to be for it or against it yet even though there's no need to take sides or feel possessive about it - we're all here just users equally dependant upon the working of Google aren't we?
One sure thing though - bugs will iron out but things like the way Bluetooth works now and the loss of USB mount are major hits for those of use dependant on those features for the last 4 months.

USB mounting was never part of 4.1... why are people suggesting it was? You needed root and stickmount or a custom ROM.
Stickmount will update eventually. Stop blaming Google for breaking something they never supported in the first place.
