Useful info but I'm unable to find the options mentioned in the 3rd play store image. Especially disappointing to find the advertised "broken pixel options"missing. Although Castro is interesting & provides tons of technical info on my Note 8, my storage space is limited, Castro (9.65MB total) can't be moved to an external SD, & now the update requires 529MB, so I am uninstalling for now. I would recommend at least trying it to see if it's for you; it does do most of what it claims to.

Hello Sabrina, there is a tool inside app called "Screen tester" it allow you to check if you have any broken pixels on your screen. It enabled fully dark screen, so you just have to check if everything is fine with the screen.

Pros: gives a great demo of your CPU's thermal throttling feature! Most of the information the app provides is correctish... Keeps your CPU around 80°C for about 15 minutes before crashing. Cons: gives a great demo of your CPU's thermal throttling feature xD Maxes out CPU when viewing CPU real time data. Need a second HW monitor app to monitor this HW monitor app because the real time data freezes after a few seconds. Much of the info is incomplete or incorrect. (Tested on Note 4 and S7)

This app is absolutely perfect, but some issues are there. Firstly, the search function doesn't work at all. Secondly, on the "Thermal" page, if the device is in light throttling, it'll show "Light throttling" under "Status" and the "Description" below it. But at one point, the app shows "Temperature affects the operation of the device and significantly slows down the user interface" under "Status" and "Description" at the same time, instead of just showing "Significant throttling" for "Status".
