Android System Info APP for Android  provides a lot of technical infos(Hardware, System, Telephony),Task Manager, App manager, logs viewer, battery stats and more.
Android System Info (ASI) APP provide low-level access to the increasingly diverse hardware

In Android System Info (ASI) APP, you’ll take a closer look at some of these hardware particular. You’ll also learn how to monitor hardware sensors using the Sensor Manager. The accelerometer sensors will be used to determine changes in the device orientation and acceleration - which is extremely useful for creating motion-based User Interfaces - and lets you

Finally, you’ll take a closer look at the communication hardware by examining the telephony
package for monitoring phone state and phone calls, as well as seeing what’s available in the
Bluetooth, networking, and Wi-Fi ASI.
