Improvements and new features

  • If no tests are executed 'Not performed' is shown instead of 'Partial.
  • New diagnostics tests:

    • Click progress bar to see it.
  • Ability to select the test grid size with the 'Touch Screen' test
  • Automatic installation of updates (selectable)
  • Non-signed Androids can be erased (if selected), even if 'allow rooted' is disabled.
  • 'Javaruntime' removed in diagnosis improving diagnostics install/uninstall
    • This also fixes several cases where a single badly behaving phone was blocking other phones during diagnosis
  • Erasure can now be executed prior to diagnostics by selecting from 'Device → process'. 
    • To make this automated, 'release resources after erasure' must be unchecked.
  • IOS can be activated and WiFi config pushed into the device automatically (if selected from the IOS settings)
    • SIM card required
    • UI setup in IOS still need to be manually clicked through (will be improved in next release)
    • 'Execute All' button is used to use this
  • Alternative serial for Android phones
    • If androids have no IMEI and non-unique serial (like 0123456789ABCDEF), alternative serial will be fetched.
  • Help window for showing how to enable USB debugging with Androids
  • Selective export/import of IOS firmware
    • Used to be 'all or nothing'
  • WifiMAC address fetched from IOS & Android
    • Available in report and UI
  • Battery serial: rechargecycle & vendorname & max/designcapacity & wearlevel for IOS, 
    • Visible in info popup and report
  • Support for 5th gen iPad
  • User can 'whitelist' packages for Android that fail to uninstall.
    • 'Whitelisting' is needed separately for each model.
    • In earlier versions: If non platform package failed to uninstall, the erasure result was always 'failure'. 
    • Now user can declare such package to be safe (can later remove). 
    • When such package fails to install next time, the erasure process will continue and report will contain disclaimer that such package was encountered, but ignored by the request of a user.
  • Layout editor enhancements:
    • Added fields: Manufacturer, Rooted status, Disk size, WifiMac, Batteryserial, Erasure duration, Erasure method, overwriting rounds
    • Multiple test results can be created in one go, thus reducing the pain of creating lots of cases. Items will have similar properties in terms of align, elide, size, etc.
    • Items in editor can be moved and zoomed more easily with wheel and keyboard.
    • Multiple items can be selected and moved.
    • The items can be selected with 'Tab'.
    • Greatly enhances creation experience of labels with large number of fields.
  • Custom printing, where user can define what kind of labels are printed on different events. 
    • Each event (device attached/remove, diagnosis-ready, erasure-ready) can have a different label and different count of labels to printed.
