Integrity Scan Tool

This report-style guide focuses on a handful of trust signals you can verify quickly. Rather than hunting through deep settings, you’ll work top-down: confirm update health, align permissions, create storage headroom, trim browser baggage, and prove your backups by restoring a single file.

Baseline: ensure a stable network, connect to power for long installs, and cool the device if it’s warm—the simplest conditions prevent the noisiest failures.

Permissions open doors. Review camera, mic, precise location, contacts, and files for your top-used apps first. Prefer “allow only while using the app”, hide sensitive lock-screen previews, and keep “special access” (overlays, admin rights) to a tiny set.

• Disable background location where continuous access isn’t needed.
• Silence nonessential notification categories.
• Remove apps you no longer use to reduce maintenance.

Installs, caching, and media capture all need room to breathe. Target 10–20% free space, delete old installers and exports, and move large media to dated folders (year/month) so cleanup stays fast.

Heat exaggerates glitches. During long updates, place the phone on a cool surface and avoid gaming while charging.

Many page problems are profile problems. Test in a private window or a fresh profile to bypass cached data and extensions. Keep a lean set of add-ons and clear site storage quarterly for heavy services.

Network A/B: try the same action on Wi-Fi and cellular (or another Wi-Fi network). If it only fails on one path, focus on local network rules or congestion.

Backups matter when they restore. Keep two copies—cloud + local drive—and perform a tiny restore now (one photo or document). Label drives and store them safely. If you use encrypted backups, confirm you can actually unlock them.
