 comment Can I use the internal storage in the Wildfire S to store music and photos?
As Alex wrote: Open the camera app, and check its settings. It should contain a "storage" section. If it does not (which is the case sometimes), there's no much chance -- except trying some other camera app.

 comment My HTC One X seems to be self destructing after Jelly Bean update
That description makes a "system confusion" even more likely, while at the same time it seems a factory-reset will really be the remedy to that. As you already have everything backed up, go for it -- I keep my fingers crossed meanwhile and wait for your feedback :) Good luck!

 comment How do I get offline voice detection on my tablet running JB (4.1.1)?
Maybe you could add a few details: 1) exact Android version (from Settings->About), 2) a link to device specifications (or anything coming close to that), 3) screenshots (or links to them, I'll integrate them then). This might help us to narrow things down. As techie007 already checked on 4.1.1, that's all I could have done (same version on my tabbies), so we can skip that for now.

 comment How do I get offline voice detection on my tablet running JB (4.1.1)?
Not having a JB phone, I cannot check that currently. Will do so with my tablets at home. But AFAIR they all have the "gears" icon for settings. Apart from the icon used, shouldn't the link go to the same pages?

 comment Can't I change the sound volume with the screen locked?
I really wonder why it shouldn't work via the hardware volume buttons anyway. It did on all of my devices I ever had (including a Motorola Milestone 2, so it's not just Motorola per se). Admitted, none of my phones run JB, as you can see in my profile...

 comment Laptop Stolen. How to retrieve the stored MAC address of my laptop from the Network logs of my Android Phone?
With your phone not being rooted, ott's advice is most likely the only thing left -- as that data is unlikely to be freely accessible. If "recently" is not too long ago (I'm afraid, for this it is) you could find some traces in your logcat -- but that being a circular buffer all apps log to, it's unlikely to find things there from more than a couple of hours ago. With much luck, you might find something in your laptops papers (on a sticker or something alike), but I doubt that as well.

 comment Backup Android 2.3.6 app data before rooting
Yupp: 1+2 basically say what I wrote (just with some more details), 3 has no answer (and I just marked it duplicate of 2 -- which I will now do for this one as well).

 comment What does the “last seen” status stand for?
After the re-phrasing (which still matches the original, very emotional question), this looks like a completely valid question to me -- as trivial as the answer might seem ("last seen" = "last online"; it's the status of the app/connection, not of the user/activity ;)

 comment Backup Android 2.3.6 app data before rooting
Not a chance: To backup app data before Android 4.0, you need root. Except when the apps themselves offer a backup feature (be it export/import or Google Cloud Backup integration).
