When problems reach our smartphone, it’s easy to despair. And that’s it repair a laptop This is not an easy task, even for anyone, even if the European Union insists on the right to compensation. However, if things are done right – as is the case with Nokia – it is nice that users can restore their devices.
Google followed up on this story and provided us with a step-by-step guide to repairing Pixels. But this is not the only thing it does in this sense, because as we read in Android Authority, it has launched a new diagnostic app to determine problems on your smartphones. We explain how it works and what the code is to use it.
Diagnostic app for Pixels
To continue on the path it has taken by joining forces with iFixIt, Google is deploying a new app for their phones, the Google Pixel. However, it won’t appear in the app drawer, or as a quick access, or even as a widget.
These are the tests that Google’s new tool brings together. Screenshots from Android Authority
To access this tool, you must use the “Phone” application, by entering a secret code like many others available on Android. Upon entering it, the screen of this application will instantly open, which will allow us check for problems that you have our device before and after the repairs.
Whether we repair it ourselves or send it to the technical service, the application offers us different tests to determine the correct functioning of the mobile. Now yes, the code What we need to enter in the marker is the following:
Once this is done, as they say, the “Pixel Diagnostics” application will be presented to us. She herself will warn us that we must have a stable WiFi connection
However, it seems that it will reach other regions due to the message that Google leaves us:
The diagnostic tool is only intended for use in the United States. Right now.
Now when we can use it we will find a screen where different tests will be presented to us to determine the problems. In relation to the screen it will check if there is physical damage or panel defects
The same thing happens with other elements of our Pixels which are very important and sometimes go unnoticed: the sensors. In the attached screenshots you can also see a connectivity test (WiFi, mobile data, etc.) and audio. Whatever we enter, the mobile will give us a series of instructions and steps while the tool checks the components.
Officially, Google states that the “Pixel Diagnostics” application It is available for all pixels in USA, UK, Canada, Australia and European countries where their cell phones are distributed. However, as we said before, it is currently not accessible from Europe.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Mountain View firm already offers repair manuals in English (until now they were only available in French) to facilitate user instructions. we hope extend this trend deploy the new tool in Spanish-speaking countries, along with the manuals in perfect Spanish.
