New Licence Structure
We are excited to unveil one of our biggest updates yet! To allow our users to better customise their exact needs from our product, we have reworked our licence structure. Rather than choosing a singular licence, you now can determine exactly what package you require, as well as take into consideration how much you actually need of certain features. You can check out the details on our new pricing here: https://m360soft.com/pricing
These licences use tokens for certain features, which you can always check how many you have of on your status bar as well as in your settings in our desktop application. Tokens reset monthly, and do not carry over, except for those which were manually purchased such as Blacklist Checks, and the new Network Lock Checks.
Network Lock Checks
By popular request, you can now use M360 to check if a device is locked to a specific carrier, or unlocked and usable with any carrier. Just like with Blacklist Checks, you can perform this on a device, or manually check an IMEI number. Licences do not include Network Checks by default, can be purchased from our website. Important Note: Network Lock Checks are only available for Samsung and iOS devices at this time!

Quick Testing
What if you could test a device without ever having downloaded anything onto it, or even before activating it? Well, that’s exactly what we have been working towards with the introduction of our latest BETA feature. For iOS devices, there is now the option to perform diagnostics without our app, using data and error reporting directly from the device’s operating system, in order to instantly highlight any major issues. This feature is still in its early stages, and as such is only available for users who contact our Support Team at https://m360soft.com/contact, and request access to it.

Batch Manager: Manage and Group Large Numbers of Devices
Version 1.4.13Batch Manager
Introducing our latest major feature: the Batch Manager, a powerful tool designed for efficiently handling and grouping together large volumes of devices! A batch can be set up through your dashboard, which will act as a container that can be opened and closed within the application. Any device connected while a batch is open is automatically added to it, and assigned a Custom ID/SKU based on the settings you chose in your dashboard. With the newly added batch filter in your History, you can effortlessly export reports, labels, or CSV-formatted data for an entire batch with just a few clicks. Check out our 60-second video showcasing the Batch Manager: https://youtube.com/shorts/WuTf3_HQMRk

Automatic Blacklist Check
We have added a new automation setting that allows previously unchecked devices to have their IMEI automatically checked upon connection to M360. In addition to this, we have also added a setting which if turned on will also automatically recheck devices that haven’t been checked in over half a year. These features work for all devices, including those which were manually added.
New iOS 17+ Battery Test
Due to changes in the functionality of battery percentage reading in iOS devices running version 17+, we have introduced a slightly new method of performing it. Now such devices will require a connection with M360 at the beginning and end of the drain test. Other than that, the test and its results continue to function as normal.
Status Checker
Located in the bottom right, the new Status Checker allows you to make sure all basic functionality of M360 is in working order. Now if ever you find yourself experiencing errors, you can quickly check this list of functionality to get a clearer picture of what might be causing them.

Improved Diagnostics Synchronisation
Our mobile apps now proactively alert you when it's time to reconnect to your PC for seamless synchronisation of diagnostic data. In addition, you can choose to manually sync any past result from the mobile apps to your PC. With the newly added Sync to Computer button conveniently located next to the Share button on every result screen, you have control over the synchronisation process. Note that the device must be connected to the PC to do this.
Automated GPS Test
On the Settings/Diagnostics screen now you can set your default location (e.g. your shop) using longitude and latitude coordinates. If the GPS test on your device returns these coordinates with reasonable accuracy, the GPS test in the mobile apps will automatically pass.
Important update regarding iOS compatibility
Beginning with this update, we will no longer be supporting iOS 10 & 11 devices. This means that our mobile application will not install on devices running these iOS versions, diagnostics and other core features will be unavailable on such iPhones and iPads. The minimum supported iOS version is now raised to iOS 12.
Our latest update tackles specific issues, enhancing your overall experience:
• Resolved an issue where diagnostics on Apple devices wouldn't resume after reconnection in some cases.
• Added more region options to Apple Activation & Setup. If you encounter app installation issues after activation, consider selecting your precise region.
Template Forcing
You now have the option to set a specific test template as mandatory, ensuring its enforcement across all operators. This means that operators are restricted from choosing or executing any alternative templates. To customise your test templates or to make one forced, simply navigate to https://m360soft.com/dashboard/templates while logged in with managerial credentials.
Manual Blacklist Check
We've added a button on the devices screen for manual IMEI checks. This functionality allows you to input any valid IMEI for a Blacklist check, without device connection.
Filename IMEI Prefix
We've incorporated a useful checkbox within the export dialog: to have the option to include device IMEIs as a prefix for all exported filenames, helping in instances of multi-export scenarios.

Combine Sessions
Do you perform diagnostics, grading, or wiping at various times? No worries! Now you have the flexibility to merge multiple work sessions (up to 4) into a new, virtual session that can be exported just like your regular sessions. This feature enables you to seamlessly integrate yesterday's testing with today's grading, ensuring that all relevant information is available within the same certification or label. To create a combined session, simply access your History, select (checkbox) a minimum of 2 work sessions, and click the "Combine Sessions" button located at the top.
Device Identification
Our device identification feature helps you quickly identify connected devices by displaying an information panel on their screens. You can customise the trigger actions and its displayed content in Settings/Device Identification. For example, with just a single click, you can have all devices on your desk display their IMEIs or serial numbers via barcodes or QR codes. And it's all configurable!

Use Apple's Battery Health Maximum Capacity
Our battery health calculation for Apple devices can differ from Apple's own – what is displayed under Settings/Battery/Battery Health (Maximum Capacity). M360's capacity percentage is based on current data that is available at the time when you connected the device to M360. And Apple's calculation is based on continuously collected data, charging behaviours, etc. Therefore, there are some cases when these 2 values are 1-3% off due to many factors such as battery temperature, current charge, etc.
We understand that for some devices you want to have the same value on our reports and labels what your customers can see in the phone’s settings. That’s why we added a new reading method that can pull the Maximum Capacity value from the device as is.
If we detect that the 2 values might be different then you will see an Apple logo icon next to the battery health value on the Device Information screen. If you move your mouse over this icon you will see instructions how to run this data pull. Once you are familiar with the method you can just trigger it any time a device is connected and its tasks will run automatically in the background. Available for iOS 13 and newer.
Custom Overall Ratings
With our Sticky Data feature you can attach details to devices, and carry them over phone sessions. The Overall Rating is there to give your devices an overall condition rating. Our default values cover the common platform ratings like eBay Refurbished, Swappa and Back Market but now you can also create your own flags here. This value is displayed on M360 reports and can be added to your printed labels as well. You can manage these rating values on the online dashboard.
Custom Logo on Labels
If you upload your business logo on your web dashboard under Account Details, it will be automatically displayed on your reports. Now you can also add your uploaded logo to your labels using the Custom Logo element in the M360 label designer.
New Report Design
Our new diagnostic reports look a lot more professional, now it's more like a proper certificate rather than a report. The new layout and design is based on your feedback but as always, you guys are welcome to let us know if you think we should add or change anything else.
What’s new
• Now you can copy a summarised, text-only version of the report to your clipboard, from the export window. This can be great for places where you cannot use the HTML or the PDF version
• By default, our pushed iOS wifi profile deletes itself from the devices after an hour. Now you can change this behaviour in the Settings
What’s improved
• The Android battery drain test now shows you the discharge percentage as well for better evaluation (iOS battery drain test is on the way too!)
• You can search for devices in your Work History by their serial number, using the updated IMEI/Serial filter field
Custom Phone Statuses
Now you can create and manage your own custom phone statuses that can be set under Sticky Data. Just log in to your online dashboard and scroll to the bottom and click to "Manage Statuses" to add new ones. These statuses are attached to devices, and carried over phone sessions. They can be also put on printed labels.
What’s new
• M360 can now retrieve any of your saved Wifi network details to be saved and used for tests and push profiles. This feature is available in Settings/Diagnostics.
What’s fixed
• Various bugfixes and improvements in our beta Label Designer

Client Manager
We've moved the client information from the device's sticky data to a new section in the main menu called Client Manager. You can save and manage your clients here, attach them to devices, print labels with their details or use them to quickly create and print purchase agreements (coming soon). This will allow you to easily manage all clients and business partners in one place, even without device connection. In our next updates we will further improve the Client Manager and all related features.
Happy holidays folks, thank you for using M360!
Handling phones with updated storage
While we are working on some massive updates, we wanted to give you a small and smart feature that was requested by a few users recently.
If you connect a device that has a different storage capacity than the factory specification, M360 will give you the option to choose which value you want us to use. If you choose to overwrite the factory value, we will display the current capacity on our reports and labels.
This is a bugfix update to fix issues and to perform various underlying changes.
Label Designer (Beta)
The wait is over! Now you can design your very own printed labels featuring every data source that is available in M360. You can place QRs and barcodes as well as the M360 certified logo. This is a beta feature and it's only available for selected users. If you want access, please send us an email to [email protected] and we will enable it for your account.
What’s improved
• Now you can save your configuration (language, region, etc) for Apple "Activate & Setup" that can be used as default for single-, and batch device activation as well.
Statistics
Now some stats are available in the web dashboard to track, analyse, and to find data and patterns. These should help you to monitor your testing performance, efficiency and your operators. You can access it at https://m360soft.com/dashboard/statistics and please let us know if there is any other data or stats that you would like to see there.

Android 12 IMEI/MEID Read Solution
With Android 12 access to IMEI and MEID identifiers by apps and computers are officially not supported anymore. While we are working on a more professional solution, for now we've added a "Screen Read" method that navigates the phone to its settings screen so M360 can automatically read and fill in the IMEI/MEID identifiers. This option is available under the "Why there is no IMEI?" button if we failed to read the IMEI with the current methods. In our next release there will be a settings option to run this automatically.
Please note, the phone needs to be on the home screen and it will close any other applications or running diagnostics for a few seconds.
We've updated our Apple driver and it should solve all connection related issues for Apple devices. You can manually update it in Settings/Driver Manager if you have system admin rights. Please make sure that you restart your system after the update.

We use the speakers to send randomly generated codes, and use the microphones to receive them.
