How To Check System Info On Android

2012-05-02
hey guys david here from bumble calm and this video will show you how to figure out your system information on your Android phone so for example let's say you wanted to know what version of Android you ran or how much storage you have left or what's using up your battery you could do so by pressing menu from your homescreen going over to your settings and then scroll down to the very bottom where it says about phone tap on about phone and you can see your Android version right here so it's 2.3.6 just in case you're wondering what you're on you can also check your baseband version and your kernel version you can see your batteries you should see what exactly is using up your phone's battery life you tap back and go to status you can see your battery percentage right here you can also see your IMEI and things of that nature go in and go back out of here and you could also look at your storage so under storage it'll tell you your total space that you have on your phone and also your available space so my phone has ten point seven sixteen bytes left and that's basically your basic information that comes with your Android phone if you want more detailed information as to what exactly your system information is you download an app called Android system info from Google Google Play Store and you can see everybody downloaded and installed it it's a free app and this doesn't give you a lot more detailed information so I opened up the app on the homescreen dashboard you're just given that same basic information that you're able to get through your settings but if you want more detailed information tap on the system tab and from here you could go to build info you see it's 2.3.6 you'll also see the other stats such as the name of the OS which is Gingerbread you see your phone's model number which is by Samsung not by your carrier so this is called the Galaxy Note but Samsung smaller number is SGH I 717 so if you want certain information like that you could get it from this app so let's show you a few more examples like your battery you can see it's discharging you have 27% even you can see your voltage tap on memory and you can see how much memory your phone has how much free RAM you have and things of that nature I'll go ahead and go to CPU and this was pretty cool you could actually even see your maximum clock speed so this is 1512 megahertz and the minimum clock speed is 192 so the phone will range between these depending on you know how you're using your phone so you can see my phone is being used 13.5 9% of the time I just maximum speed of 512 mega Hertz but 56.7 2 percent of the time it's at running at 384 megahertz so just gives you a better ideas for us how the phone actually works or as a processor goes same thing with the camera I mean you can see your maximum JPEG image size which is on here it is uh well where am I looking at right here 2004 and 48 by 3264 you can see the different picture sizes you can take based off the camera settings and you could also look at your screen settings and you can see the resolution so this one's 800 by 1280 and I'll even give you your PPI or pixels per inch so this phone has 285 so just gives you a lot of detailed information that you know you would never get not only from the phone settings but even if you visited you know for example the Galaxy Notes manufacturer website or if you went to 18 tees website to look up the stats on this phone you might not find the detailed information that you're finding within this app so it's definitely a cool way to look at the details of your phone and I don't know if this is something you're going to need on your phone all the time you could just install it under stall once you get the information you want but that's pretty much it for a listen for me in this video um just a quick walk through you also have your tasks right here so you can see what's running on your phone and how much memory it's taking you could look at the apps on your phone and see you know just your basic basic memory how much they take and what version number they are on things of that nature you could tap on you can uninstall from here you can manage it and launch it things like that you can also go to your log so this is more for developers and you can actually see every single code that goes on when you're actually using your phone so yeah you could actually read what's going on behind the scenes and uh you know you won't really in any of this I don't unless you're a developer but it's still kind of cool to see you know how much detailed information you get from this one little application alright that's it for me in this video this is Dave Volcom if you found this video helpful please hit the like button and subscribe and don't forget to visit for more cellphone news reviews and how to's thank you
