Q: system diagnostic tools?

Hi,
I just dropped my phone. So far all still working nicely but I'm quite paranoid
Is there any apps or tool to diagnose our nexus one. Just checking if all system devices working properly (GPS, wifi, radio, touch screen, etc)
Cheers,

If it isn't a problem, don't make it into one. Just keep an eye on it, and watch for problems...

I spent half an hour to check my phone.
You would want to know as soon as possible if there's any devices damage, wouldn't you?
Is android system throws some informative message if there is hardware failure?

There's different apps to test the performance of different things (like network speeds), but I don't know of any all in one app that test things to make sure they are working...?

I used sony ericsson walkman phone before android. They have some secret menu that allows you to check screen, vibrate, keys test, sounds, etc
Is there anything like that on android?

anyone found one yet?
Old thread, but it came up in a Google search and it doesn't look like anyone's covered this elsewhere in this group.
Dropped my N1 over the weekend, and this morning noticed it's losing network & data regularly, and only connecting 2G, not 3G or 4G. Ugh. Hoping it's just sunspots, but it would be nice to be able to run diagnostics that test the various systems for any failures or out of spec values.
I've unlocked my N1 and am running cyanogenmod 7.2 if that helps.

Check out this link, it might have some useful apps:

thanks!
Thanks for the link, I'll take a closer look at those.
The good news (?) is that it turns out T-Mobile had a data network outage for most of the day today. They buried it on their support website behind an east coast outage report for last weekend's heavy weather, so I didn't see it. Big thank you to All Things D for clueing me in, and I'm reinstalling my apps now.

Data drops and Facebook app

Had a s#it ton of data drops lately and couldn't figure out why because it want a problem in the past. Seems to have coincided with the latest system update. Anyways I noticed a pattern involving the Facebook app and the data drops (even ruining in the background). Uninstalled the app and once again am data drop free. Must be some kind of conflict between the app and the 905 build.
Just thought maybe this would help someone else out that us losing their mind with data drops.
Btw, Facebook is the worst tech company I've ever seen at coding. Should really fire their entire staff and start over or outsource. With every update the product got worse. (rant off).

I am with you on this one. The facebook app is one of the worse apps i've ever used. With every update it gets slower and slower. It's not the phone or my connection as it happens the same on wifi. Sometimes I am better off opening the browser and going directly to the website which is about 10x faster. Even my brother who is on ATT/Iphone says the same thing. I do not experience data drops like you're mentioning and to think I tried to apply for Facebook -.-...

I hate to sound like a ****, but maybe use a different app? One of my favorites for everthing is Scope Beta
Scope Beta Link
It is an easy beta to get into.
(Rant on)
I have stopped using Facebook altogether, plus they are a huge security flaw in the Android framework. If (and this is a big) Facebook brings their games to Android then I will be forever scared of Facebook. I have seen girls computers contract viruses just from using Facebook (guys also but knowing men we look at porn so we really dont count) the one question I ask them is do you use Facebook games, 97% of the time it is yes.
Like you said also the source code used for the Android app/ iPhone app is complete and utter POS. Which also scares me becasue this code could be used for exploitation. I havent deleted my Facebook yet....It is still on the list lol
(Rant off)
Everyone I know likes Facebook I cant stand it....is why I rant....

28 hours and not a single data drop. Before I was getting probably upwards of 10 per hour if not more under heavy usage. I was about to yell, rant, and cuss at big red to try to get a credit towards a different phone, and then pay for one even at full price if need be. Now I can enjoy this phone once again.
I just haven't looked at using an alternative app yet, but plan to. And fb wonders why their ipo wasn't a big success... Look at the product.

This is my experience EXACTLY. It's impossible to use my phone, and it feels like it coincided with the latest update and installation of facebook. My phone is unusable as it sits, I will try uninstalling FB and see if it clears up my issue with data drops.

Facebook knows about their app issues. That's why they made everyone get an Android until the problems are solved. They also abandoned HTML5 and will no longer use it.

Insane data use

Hello, I'm having problems with the amount of data used on the one. For me normal is around 20mb a day on 3g use. Now I have this..
How is this possible? Is there something wrong? I only have 1gb data and from the first of June to the fifth I have used 250mb..
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Only thing I can think of is blinkfeed. Do you have autosync on?
Youtube and streaming music takes up a lot as well.

Only on wifi..
Is it possible to have so much data use just by checking software update? I did that a couple times..
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Have you got any auto photo backup services switched on system, dropbox, googke+ etc? If you take Zoes on this device you get all the jpegs and the videoclip uploaded which can be a huge amount of data

No, I haven't.

Just today it used 87 mb.. Could it be weather related? My htc clock refreshes every 6 hours, but for the blinkfeed weather you have to turn on sonrthing in location settings. Turned that of now. But it seems very strange to me. Is it not possible that I did it myself because I checked the software updates a couple times? Then I at least now where the problem's coming from.

Get 3G watchdog so you can see what each individual app uses.

check with your provider to see if it matches. the phone could be reporting inaccurately.

Watchdog can't help me on this one.

the first night I had my phone i streamed a 2 minute song and data usage said it was 20mb..i knew that was wrong and it didn't match what at&t said i used. check with your provider...

So Vodafone site says I used 148 MB. Like wth?

I am having a heavy data usage problem as well. I use my phone to listen to music on my motorcycle, streaming GMusic.
My buddy has a Note II, I have the one. We both streamed music from Gmusic all day, same amount of time. Both of us have "high quality" turned off (unchecked).
At the end of the day he had used 100MB, I had used 873MB!! (reported as being used just by Gmusic). Both phones are on the same account so I login to AT&T to check data usage thinking it had to be a flaw. Nope I've used .9gb his phone says .1gb. WTF?
I still haven't figured it out and have used most of my 3GB in one weekend. Suckage.

Why don't you take a look at Settings>Usage to see which apps are actually using your data?

As I said, Android OS is using this. No further details in there

I've had similar things happen with a couple of HTC's, not Ones. I only worked out how to stop through trail and error and I still don't understand why it happened. What I discovered was that the Mail accounts were constantly eating into my data (140Mb + one day but only 3 short emails actually received into the mailbox). The way I resolved it was to delete the Mail accounts (POP or IMAP, whatever) and then add it as new. This seemed to solve the problem. Never worked out why it was doing it in the first place mind.
The OP says its Android OS, which it could be. But there would be no harm in trying to disable/change apps and accounts to see if makes a difference. And if not methodically you should be any to ID the problem. Fingers crossed.

My phone sent an SMS that I did not send

So this morning I open Hangouts and see that in the middle of the night my phone sent a text message to 2635. The text message body was:
/T:20fa2a57-f8b2-41c8-93d7-15c2b1fa2327/ /R:5294462c0cf29206e34cd1ac/
Can anybody tell me what this is, why it sent, etc? Has anyone else had this or something similar happen?

That makes a lot of sense. I opened the NFL Mobile app last night for the first time, then it tried to verify something that I didn't want to wait for so I closed the app and then disabled it. Thank you very much, I was kinda freaked out that my phone had some kind of malware that was sending encrypted info without my knowledge. I guess it was just crappy bloat-ware instead.

Hangouts shows sms messages that are supposed to be hidden, it intercepts them as they go out, you are not charged extra for them, it goes as far as intercepting voicemail commands on my sprint version so I had to switch back to stock sms app until they fix it.

Confirming this. Very odd. The NFL app should have warned that it was sending a txt but it didn't. Bit scary...

Verizon / NFL Mobile
Yes, it is from Verizon verifying that you are eligible to watch free, live, NFL games that are broadcast in your region and all national prime time games using the NFL Mobile app. Today CBS changed our game from Houston @ Minnesota to Pittsburgh @ Miami so I tried to watch Houston @ Minnesota on my phone and it worked fine.

THANKS for your clear and timely response. I was about to hard reset my phone because I thought it had been compromised!

That freaked me out thanks for putting my mind at ease guys. That's certainly what did it. Super Bowl while in line for dinner. Any good suggestions for identifying applications or possibly root kits etc. And the connections these types of apps tend to use, I intend of contributing to the boards more again. I used to everyday for mobile hardware and Web app development generals. But Im curious if there are apps by which they execute tasks like in this manner which I know this particular one isn't but I don't know the best path for figuring that kind of detection and more advanced feedback results and whos signature database wont be easily corruptible, maybe something more productive and professional but real scan and firewall features would be nice however I think thats why some socks and vpns services exist. I use a couple things. I can't help thinking I'm an idiot for wanting to know what and who want what from my android Mac or Windows device. Instead I could be allowing perms access to apps advertising to stop it but make you vulnerable to the point of someone walking on in and helping themself. I want control over my life my tools and devices, but would settle for doing my best to avoid it from someone else. This is one of a couple weird events. Subtle (what I think are attempts to install $.... yet stood out tremendously at the time. Sorry for etiquette I'm conjuction with topic question a small add on to it and thoughts of others encountering nfl live, any info or comments welcome don't beat me too hard, it's been a working progressive thing for the last year I noticed all these horrible warning signs of the end of true privacy as we know it, since it resonated my interest has grown but maybe my interest has drawn attention like vpns and etc. Idk what to do at this point. Take me back to 1996 and a Circle K with a few dimes and a pay phone if I need you on the phone right now, bad wish for a developer. :]

Best EWS email app

Anyone have any luck with any EWS clients? I've been using AquaMail, which works well, but is tough on the battery. It must be an OWA or EWS compatible app. The reason for this is, any Activesync app causes my companies security policies to ban my email access because I do not have Maas360 installed. I refuse to install Maas360 and give my company that much access to my personal phone. Also, it wont work with my device being rooted. I would also prefer the app handles email like AquaMail does. Thanks for any recommendations.
I wish there was a way to make NineMail work, that app is excellent.

I just recently installed the exchangesservices.apk and it runs through my GMail app. Works fine, no issues. I used this one here and just installed like normal.

Thanks @palosjr. Does your work email have extensive security features? Ill try it and see how it works for me. How do you stay on top of app updates? Thanks.

We are pretty locked down... our IT department is tough when it comes to permissions and such.
Normally I just keep a look out on reddit.com/r/android and when I see that an update for Play Services has been released, I look into it and see what it entails.

Unfortunately, this did not work. I got it installed and setup. Got my emails synced and bam! Blocked by Maas360. My experience has shown me that if the app doesn't access email via OWA or EMS, I will get blocked. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Have you tried CloudMagic? I think they use owa

Best is always samsung stock for me. It can show my company contacts name company position numbers etc. There ia no app can do that.And colored signature.
I tried boxer (cm mail app now), cloudmagic, nine, gingermail. None of them work likw i want it to. If your company have office 360 work you can use Microsoft app ews outlook. Ita really nice and themed like windows phone.

Just happened to come across this post in a Google search and hoping someone could ban the following spammers that posted above..
The OP specifically said no ActiveSync apps and specifically not Nine (which uses ActiveSync). CloudMagic / Newton Mail is a SpyWare / email harvesting application that collects your mail on their servers.
So, the posts from these individuals are spam:
