Android phone slowing down? These 5 tips will give it a serious speed boost
Your Android phone doesn't have to feel sluggish. While phones naturally slow down over time, there are simple fixes that can restore much of their original speed without needing to buy a replacement. The slowdown usually happens because of accumulated digital clutter, old apps you forgot about, downloaded files taking up space, and settings that haven't been optimized since you first got the device. Most performance issues can be solved in just a few minutes with some basic maintenance. These tweaks won't turn your phone into a brand-new device, but they can make a noticeable difference in how quickly apps open, how smoothly everything runs and how much longer your phone stays responsive throughout the day. Here's how you can speed up your Android by boosting its performance. Take a few minutes to scroll through your home screen and app drawer, then delete anything you haven't used in months. Those forgotten apps are potentially running background processes that slow down your phone and drain your battery. You can uninstall apps straight from your home screen or you can uninstall through the play store. Start with the obvious candidates like games you played once, shopping apps for stores you never visit, and duplicate apps that do the same thing. Open your phone's file manager app and start with the Downloads folder. This is where random files accumulate: screenshots you meant to delete, PDFs you downloaded once, and memes friends sent you months ago. Delete anything you don't need and move important files to cloud storage like Google Drive. Most file manager apps also have a section showing large files that are eating up significant space. Look for old videos, duplicate photos, or large documents you can either delete or move to the cloud. Even clearing just a few hundred megabytes can make your phone feel noticeably faster, especially if you were running low on storage space. Long-press on a blank area of your home screen and select Home settings to access customization options. Small changes can make your phone feel completely different and run more smoothly. Try adjusting your app grid size, as switching from a 4x5 layout to 5x5 gives you more space and can reduce the number of home screen pages your phone needs to load. Enable features like swiping down on the home screen to view notifications instead of reaching to the top of the screen. Remove widgets you don't actually use, as they constantly update and consume system resources. Consider using a simpler wallpaper instead of live wallpapers or complex images that require more processing power to display. Turn on dark mode to save battery life (and reduce eye strain). This simple change can extend your phone's battery life and make everything feel more responsive. Go through your notification settings and turn off alerts for apps that don't need them, reducing interruptions and background activity. Disable automatic app updates over mobile data to prevent surprise data usage and performance hits when multiple apps try to update simultaneously. And turn off the feature that automatically adds new app icons to your home screen to keep things organized. You can do this by toggling off the "Add app icons to Home screen" option in Settings. Open Settings and go to Privacy then Permission Manager to see which apps have access to your personal data. Go through each category — location, camera, contacts, microphone — and turn off access for any apps that don't actually need those permissions to function. Limiting these permissions not only protects your privacy but also reduces background activity that can slow down your phone. Pay special attention to location permissions, as constantly tracking your whereabouts is one of the biggest battery drains. This takes just a few minutes but can significantly improve both your phone's performance and your data security.

Fitbit promised better sleep tracking with new update, but users say it got worse
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR Fitbit has updated its algorithm for more accurate sleep tracking. The new algorithm now accounts for awake times better, supposedly rendering more accurate data about different phases. However, users have complained of increased sensitivity, resulting in their devices capturing shorter sleep durations than the actual time. Fitbit isn't nearly as popular as it once was, and that is partly because Google, which completed its acquisition of the company by 2021, has instead been pouring its energy into its own lineup of Pixel Watches. However, that hasn't stopped Google from sending routine updates to existing Fitbit watches, like it recently did with the Charge 6, or overhauling the companion app experience. Now, Fitbit's Android app is getting another key update, which aims to improve sleep tracking for users. A company representative recently posted on the Fitbit Community, announcing how the sleep tracking algorithm is changing for existing fitness trackers. As per the post, Fitbit devices now use an updated method to calculate different phases of sleep (light, deep, REM, and awake) to give you a 'more accurate' representation. One of the changes highlighted includes capturing brief periods of awakeness during sleep, which the previous method might have skipped. If you're a Fitbit user, the change in tracking could impact your actual durations for various stages of sleep, primarily increasing the time you were awake and slightly reducing the duration for REM or light sleep phases. Although the post clearly doesn't say which devices get the improved sleep tracking, we can expect some changes to sleep tracking on the Pixel Watch, too, since that also uses the Fitbit for monitoring sleep, among other vitals. A few users have noted changes to Fitbit's sleep tracking on Reddit and the Fitbit Community over the last few weeks, and the recent post only confirms those changes. However, one user recently noted that the change makes their Inspire 3 'super-sensitive,' adding nearly an hour of awake time to their sleep data. Additionally, Fitbit's forums are flooded with complaints about their fitness tracker treating mid-sleep bathroom breaks as the end of their sleep. While we hope the latest update brings relief to the impacted users, we have yet to hear a positive narrative. Meanwhile, the post also teases that this is one of the first changes in a 'series of improvements' to sleep tracking on the Fitbit app. There are no details, but we can expect some of these changes to port over to the Pixel Watch as well. Besides algorithmic improvements, the upcoming Pixel Watch 4 might gain new features like sleep apnea detection, which is already supported on the Galaxy Watch and the Apple Watch. Follow

Whatever you do, don't buy a Google Pixel phone right now
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google's Pixel phones are often among the most highly-regarded in the Android world. The most recent Pixel 9 series is no exception to that rule, and, if anything, it's the best example of it yet. Whether we're talking about the baseline Pixel 9 or any of the flagship Pixel 9 Pro models, the current slate of Google Pixel phones is mighty impressive. That all said, if you're in the market for a new Android phone right now, you absolutely should not buy a Google Pixel — and there's a very good reason for that. Buy a Pixel 9 now or wait for the Pixel 10? 0 votes Buy a Pixel 9, the Pixel 10 rumors don't look good. NaN % Wait for the Pixel 10! It's almost here! NaN % Why buying a Google Pixel is a bad idea right now Ryan Haines / Android Authority If you closely follow the Pixel world, you may already know the answer to this one. Even so, it's an answer worth repeating. Last month, Google announced it would be holding a Made by Google event on Wednesday, August 20. Made by Google events are where Google traditionally announces its latest slate of Pixel hardware, and this year, that'll be the Google Pixel 10 series — including the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. In other words, replacements for all of the mainline Pixel 9 handsets available today. This means we're now in that awkward time where a company's current generation of phones is still available, but the new models are right around the corner. Sometimes, if we're not expecting a significant upgrade for the new phones, it can make sense to still buy the current generation. However, based on what we know about the Pixel 10 series so far, purchasing a Pixel 9 before the Pixel 10gets here would be a huge mistake. There are a few reasons for this, the most significant of which is Google's new Tensor G5 chip. Robert Triggs / Android Authority All past and present Pixel phones — including the Pixel 9 series — have been held back to some degree by Google's Tensor chips. Between lacking horsepower, poor battery life, and disappointing thermal management, Tensor chips have never performed on the same level as their Qualcomm Snapdragon counterparts. Word on the street is that the Tensor G5 inside all of Google's Pixel 10 models will be the first 3nm Tensor chip and the first Tensor chip manufactured by TSMC rather than Samsung Foundry. If both of these points are true, the Tensor G5 could be dramatically more powerful and efficient than any Tensor chip that has come before it — potentially resolving the performance and efficiency gap that Pixels have had since the Pixel 6 and its Tensor G1 silicon. Another major upgrade expected for all Pixel 10 models is Qi2 magnetic charging. For the first time in a major Android phone, every Pixel 10 will reportedly have magnets built into its backside, allowing you to use magnetic chargers and other accessories without requiring a magnetic case (just like Apple has offered for years with MagSafe on the iPhone). Purchasing a Pixel 9 before the Pixel 10 gets here would be a huge mistake. This feature alone may have convinced me to buy a Pixel 10 when it goes on sale, and I have a feeling it's something a lot of people will have a hard time living without once they try it. Between magnetic charging stands, wallets, car mounts, and more, the convenience of being able to use all of them without needing a specific case is incredible — and it'll give the Pixel 10 a unique capability no other major Android phone currently offers. And there's more, too. For the baseline Pixel 10, specifically, we can likely expect a significant camera upgrade in the form of a new 5x telephoto camera — something the Pixel 9 lacks entirely. We should also see battery and charging upgrades for all Pixel 10 models. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is rumored to be the first foldable with an IP68 rating, and Google's new Magic Cue feature should lend the Pixel 10 handsets some AI magic. Do yourself a favor and wait for the Pixel 10 series At the time of publication, we're just a little over two weeks away from Google's Pixel 10 event. That means just two more weeks to wait before a new round of Pixel phones with a dramatically improved chipset, a game-changing charging/accessory system, bigger batteries, faster charging, upgraded cameras, and more. Although the Pixel 10 series will physically resemble its Pixel 9 predecessors, the internal changes we're expecting are nothing short of significant. You could buy a Pixel 9, but doing so would mean missing out on everything mentioned above when the Pixel 10 family arrives on August 20. As someone who's been reviewing and writing about phones for over a decade — and someone who's generally just a fan of Pixel phones — I'd strongly recommend holding off on buying a new Pixel phone until the Pixel 10 lineup is available. Robert Triggs / Android Authority On the one hand, if you wait to buy any of the Pixel 10 models, you'll be getting a phone that's better than its respective Pixel 9 predecessor in a multitude of ways. Plus, with rumors suggesting no major price increases, you'll pay the same amount that you would for a Pixel 9 today. On top of all that, even if you still want to buy a Pixel 9 once the Pixel 10 is revealed, you'll almost certainly be able to find last year's Pixels substantially discounted once the new models are here. Looked at this way, there's no tangible benefit of buying a Google Pixel right now. If anything, it puts you at a disadvantage. Buying a Google Pixel generally isn't a bad idea, but at this moment in time, it is — at least until August 20 rolls around. Follow
