Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives and more often than not we are completely dependent on them. We make use of our smartphones for even the most simplest of things and can’t help but panic if something happens to our precious devices. In times like these we have to rush to a repair center to diagnose the problem and end up spending hundreds of dollars on the same. However, TestM is a unique app which lets users self-diagnose their smartphones for any hardware related problems and even allows them to conduct routine checks to prevent any hardware failures.
The app has a comprehensive test mode which you can complete in around 5 minutes. The full test includes a touch screen test, a speaker test, an earpiece test, a microphone test, a headphones test, and a bevy of other sensor tests which can successfully identify any issues that might plague your device.
2. TestM Report
Upon completion of the Full Test, the app generates a detailed report about the device which is divided into categories with a score for each category. The TestM Report lists down all of the smartphone’s details along with the detailed test results for each hardware component.
The quick test on the other hand is rather short and can be completed in just under a minute. Just like the Full Test, the Quick Test is divided into steps, but since this is a quick test, there are just three steps in total.
Unlike the Full Test, which tests one hardware component per step, the Quick Test has been designed in a way that each step is capable of testing multiple components. The first step in the Quick Test checks for issues with the screen and front camera, while the second step tests the proximity sensor and the earpiece, and the third step tests the speakers and microphone by emitting high frequency sounds. Yet again, my phone was able to complete all the steps successfully without any issues.
The app can also test a smartphone’s battery and provides enough information to determine whether the battery has deteriorated or not.
Another very handy feature in the app is that it suggests nearby repair shops where you can get your smartphone fixed.
The TestM app has a fairly simple and well designed user interface. Even though the tests may sound a bit too technical, the developers have done a great job in simplifying each step. All the tests have their own large icons on the app’s home screen, which are color coded according to different components. So identifying and testing out a particular component is quite easy.
