How to run the Blackberry Self Test?

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. 





For those who belong to the BB Team, here's a hidden app on your smartphone that you'll find useful esp when you're at  wits end in sorting out if the problem is a hardware or software.

There's actually a self test feat of this sleek and beautiful phone, whatever model you've got, as long as you're running a software version of 4.something or later, then you can run this hidden app from your phone.

Here's how:

1. Click on OPTIONS icon from the homescreen
2. Scroll down all the way to STATUS, then click it
3. Once you're on the status screen, just type TEST from your keypad and it should bring up the menu for the self-test application.
4. Select Start, and you're good to go, you must see something like this:








It's kinda helpful and could provide insights to better judgment from current issues you're experiencing at hand.

One of the downside though that pisses me off, the test is INTERACTIVE, all i thought before was, it could run on its own, however, you must need to attend to it and answer with a yes or no for the tests that you selected to run, this of course is based on your perception whether the output was satisfied as desired by the instructions given.

Go see it for yourself!!!

Let me know your thoughts if you found it useful thru the comments.
