Abstract
A system, method, and program for remotely interacting with a diagnostic interface resident on wireless computer devices. The wireless device provides an accessible diagnostic interface that allows reads and/or writes to device resident diagnostic data and tools. Through use of the interaction, wireless device status data and network status data can be gathered and utilized, and if so embodied, the diagnostic tools resident on the wireless devices can be manipulated to alter wireless device operation.
