Google has launched a new Pixel Diagnostics app for Pixel phones and released new repair manuals in English and French to make fixing Pixel phones easier.
The Pixel Diagnostics app allows users to check their Pixels for issues before and after repair and to see if their device is working properly after repair. The app can be launched from Pixel’s phone app by dialing ##7287##, but before proceeding make sure your smartphone is connected to the internet.
If you want to send your Pixel in for repair, you can use the new Repair Mode for Pixel to protect your data and prevent access to it while it’s being repaired. Turn on your phone before giving it to the repair technician and turn it off after receiving it.
And if you decide to repair your own Pixel, Google has new repair manuals to make fixing the Pixel easier. Manuals are available in English and French. You can go this way for repair manuals and learn more about the Pixel Diagnostics app.
Google also said it has partnered with independent repair providers, such as UbreakFix, to provide support for Pixels in more than 700 locations in the US, regardless of their warranty status.
Additionally, the Internet search giant announced the availability of repair fixtures and tools from Shyft Global Services to improve device repairability. Google also has a partnership with iFixit for genuine spare parts for its devices
