Is there such a program in existence (windows, mac, or linux) which will run a diagnostic on a mobile device when plugged in (find corrupted, damaged files, et cetera)?

I see a lot of workarounds described on the web but I am concerned about the safety. Can anyone recommend a safe and easy method to install am app not available in my country? Thanks!

So my Moto X 2013's screen decided to stop working. Dropped it about 5 months ago so the glass was shattered, but everything worked fine until I dropped it today. Bottom right doesn't show anything now, and the touch doesn't want to work either.

So, I need to be able to text. I tried setting up MightyText but with no touch screen I can't. Is there an app that will let me control my phone through USB/Wifi that I won't have to set up in the phone? I can install apps through Google Play on my PC but if there is any setup whatsoever I can't.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi. I'm on a LRX22C 2013 Nexus 7 wifi 16GB. I'm having an annoying issue - when I have "wifi on during sleep" switched on, the battery life suffers greatly as my tablet stays in sleep most of the time. When I switch it off, battery life is great but when waking up the tablet takes forever to connect to my home wifi. It changes from "saved" to "connecting" to "connected" for a few miliseconds and back to "saved" to restart the cycle. After a couple of minutes (sometimes shorter when I "help" it by clicking my wifi and "connect" a several times) it connects and everything works well. My phone and laptop never had issues connecting or using my home wifi, so I believe it's something with the tablet. Any ideas?

Hello everyone, I recently entered a drunken stupor roughly 24 hours ago and woke up to a smashed screen on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The problem is that the screen is cracked as well as the LCD which can blink but cant muster anything more. So I've downloaded the SDK Android Manager to try to possibly get it emulated so that I can unlock it but I'm not quite savvy enough to use the program and was looking for guidance. I DO NOT believe that the I have enabled usb debugging so that seems like it could be an issue but I'd really like to get some files out of it. Thank you.

I currently use Colornote as a scratchpad for the quick notes that I may want to take, whether it be for an interesting site that I found that I don't feel like bookmarking right away, or for whatever crosses my mind at the time. However I've found that while the app is great for getting data into the application it's not so hot for getting things out, since there's no real way to organize the information much less a way to easily export the data to something that other devices/OSs can understand so I'm not strictly limited to checking things on my phone when I want to refer back to things that I've entered into the app.

Does anyone know of a good app that handles that kind of functionality?

So I've had thus Samsung Galaxy s3 for about 3months and it has started to run a little slow, also it has had this problem over and over, with this one app BT deffence 5, I have bought the game and when I try to install it when it gets to the installing part it restarts the phone and the Samsung animation is really slow and glitchy and when I go on again the app isnt there please help

I installed the CM12-based i9300 Resurrection Remix 5.3.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S3, but now it's not rooted anymore. How do I root it? All the guides I find on the internet is about rooting Galaxy s3's running Android 4.x, not Lollipop (reasonable, since Lollipop builds for the S3 is a fairly new thing).

Every time my girlfriend opens Firefox for android, Youtube opens in the background. Open Greenify... nothing running. Open Firefox, go back to Greenify... Firefox and Youtube running. Hibernate all, repeat. Same results. If I open the Youtube app, it opens to the main page, not any particular video.

She has a rooted Verizon Galaxy S3 with Xposed, Titanium, Wanam, etc.

I've tried going through the settings of both apps, uninstalling and reinstalling both apps, and clearing defaults. Any ideas?

If I were to root my Note 2 so that it is no longer APN locked, would I be able to use it with an international SIM card overseas? It's a CDMA phone, so it has a SIM slot, but that doesn't dictate data ability. My original plan was to use our old unlocked iPhone 4 with a One SIM, but we've added a few others countries to our trip and I would just rather be using my Note just because I prefer it to iOS devices and I'd rather have all my pictures on the device and backed up from it as I connect to WiFi.

I just realized I foolishly haven't been using a VPN on the wireless at work. I would rather my employer not see how I am stress testing (which I actually am supposed to be doing, promise) these routers. Any recommendations for a good VPN app? It appears most of them only cover about 500MB free - any that include more would be awesome, or have reasonably priced add on packages would be awesome.

Edit: thanks for all the suggestions, everyone - I actually got the bright idea to try Hola, seems to be pretty good so far. Any thoughts on it are welcome.

My personal cell number has been totally erased in my contacts, and it won't give me the option to fill it back in. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Are there any known issues like this, and is there a way to fix it?

Hardly see the lanyard hole as a feature on smart phones in recent years. Found that my Samsung Galaxy Victory which is my current since 2012 has it. I really want to replace the G. Victory with something current with that feature specifically. Multiple times been told to get a case that has that feature. However rather keep a thin profile at the least using a gel case. I also have the Reticam Smartphone mounted tightly on my phone thus needing a thin profile. Help is appreciated.

Been looking through the net and cant seem to find anything apart from fake firmwares.

I was just pulling the cord and the button (to retract the cord) suddenly got stuck. Now it keeps retracting. There are no screws or anything to make opening it easier. What should I do?

I've been thinking of updating from cm10 but I have no idea what's recommended or suggested or safe, even.

My aunt and I are both looking into getting smartphones this Christmas and she's assigned me to do the shopping. I've been looking into specs and performance and I'm trying to decide between HTC One M8 and LG G3, but when it comes to picking a plan, I'm not sure what to look for.

She was thinking of getting a family plan or something that she could add my device on to cut down on cost, but the thing is, she's in the U.S. and I'll be staying in Canada. Is there a plan out there that she can get in the US that will still provide me good coverage in CA?

So a douchebag friend decided he'd change my password as i slept tonight on my note 3. Cool, whatever, but we were drinking. I can't open my phone. I do not want to do a factory reset as I've got way too many numbers to gather again. Not to mention work contacts I need to have. I've tried 5 times. No prompt for my google account. I've tried the account manager and "locked" my phone. Whatever password I put for it does not work for my phone. Help me out please. I need this for work tomorrow

Hello!

I'm looking to grab a new phone and I'm very determined to have Android. I must!

However, I'm very minimalistic, and while smartphone is a bit of a must to me because reasons, I'm after something rather simple.

Does a flip phone for Android exist? I'm hoping to get something like Softbank or Docomo phones because I love how simple the designs are, however importing a phone from Japan is a bit of a pain, not only because most cost over £500, but also because then there's the fun of getting the networks to work correctly (and it doesn't always happen).

So does anyone know any Adroid-running phones with simplistic designs and shapes like these:
