I want to live in a sci-fi movie. Not only because it would be cool, but also because I love looking at numbers. Move number. The numbers tell me what’s going on. Like the stats of a spaceship in Star Trek, or of a human body, like in Iron Man. I know wearable technology is evolving, but sadly we’re not there yet.
Here’s hoping we get there in a decade or so.
In the meantime, I do by looking at the numbers on other things. Such as the performance of my PC, how hot the battery is, the amount of RAM I have or the internet connection. And now, my Android phone. If you are obsessed with looking at numbers, keep reading.
1. System Monitor
With the free System Monitor Lite app, you can monitor things like CPU, RAM, I/O, network, top apps, and battery. The app will tell you the resources your phone uses and will predict how long the battery will last.
System Monitor has a paid app for $3.99 that adds floating app support, notification bar access, and most importantly DashClock support.
2. DashClock . Extension
One of the best ways to keep track of details is to use the DashClock widget. The great thing about this app is that you can add extensions and you can also view it on the lock screen.
So download DashClock, install these extensions and build your perfect Android monitoring setup, right on your home screen or lock screen.
A. DashClock Battery Extension
DashClock Battery Extension not only shows battery percentage, but also shows useful information such as condition, temperature, capacity and time you have until your phone runs out of battery.
B. DashClock Data Usage Extension
If you don’t want to go over your data bill, install this extension, give it your data plan details and watch it monitor your usage. It will also monitor your Wi-Fi.
C. DashClock Wireless Extension
The DashClock wireless extension shows details about the Wi-Fi network you’re connected to.
D. DashClock Storage Extension
Keep track of your storage needs with DashClock Storage Extensions.
E. DashClock CPU Monitor Extension
If you don’t want to enjoy the other two official system monitoring apps listed in this article, just get this extension for DashClock widget and stick it on top. It will show you hardware stats like min CPU usage, performance throttling, GPU frequency and frequency of each core.
3. Statistical Monitoring Utility
If you don’t want to download DashClock and mess around with extensions, try an app called Stats Monitor Widget. It is designed to be a lightweight text-based widget that provides all the important details about your phone without ruining its performance.
Widgets range from 1×1 to a 2×4 grid. Widgets usually follow a horizontal line, while this one follows a vertical line. After you select the grid you want, you will get a list of statistics to display. Choose the things you want carefully; you don’t want to overload this narrow widget.
The statistics available are detailed about battery, CPU performance, RAM, network connection speed, etc.
Which is best?
As an app, you can’t beat the System Monitor. It’s intuitive to use, easy on the eyes, and very powerful. But you need to upgrade to pro app to support DashClock widget and notification bar.
If you are looking for a free yet powerful solution, then use the DashClock extension. DashClock has a lot more to offer than what’s listed above. You can literally tweak it. Don’t though.
If you’re looking for something a little low on DashClock, try the Stats Monitor Widget. It only takes a few seconds to set up and works really well.
