My Google Keep notes were a mess — here’s how I got them under control

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-29 20:00:19

Joe Maring / Android Authority Google Keep has been my go-to note-taking app for years, but I recently noticed that my disorganized notes were becoming overwhelming, making it harder to find what I was looking for. I had previously tried color-coding notes and pinning important ones, however these fixes were no longer enough. I decided to finally get control over my notes by using features I’d often ignored, including labels and deleting old notes I no longer needed. But I also moved some of m

Google wants you to forget about its Pixel battery issues. Here’s why you shouldn’t

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-27 22:35:25

Several Google Pixel models have suffered significant battery issues over the past eight months. This has manifested in Pixel-A series, with phones catching fire or suffering from swollen batteries. But I can forgive you if you didn’t know about it. Google has tried extremely hard to sweep this issue under the rug, preferring that it didn’t exist and pretending it’s not a big deal. However, I can’t overstate enough why you really shouldn’t let the company off the hook. Do you think Google has

I just want a new Pixel Stand with my Pixel 10, Google

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-29 12:00:33

Robert Triggs / Android Authority The Pixel Stand debuted alongside the Pixel 3 and 3XL almost seven years ago, and it was my favorite accessory for those phones. Adding useful Google Assistant features and faster Qi charging made it a must-have accessory for Pixels, and I used it every day. Outside of the iPhone and HMD Skyline supporting MagSafe and Qi2, respectively, wireless charging has been stagnant since then. 2021’s Pixel Stand 2 made some minor improvements to the Pixel Stand formula,

I compared Gemini to Google Assistant on two Wear OS watches. The results weren’t even close

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-29 16:00:54

Joe Maring / Android Authority About a month ago, Google started doing something long overdue for Wear OS: it finally began replacing Google Assistant with Gemini. As imperfect as it may be at times, Gemini is a really powerful tool. More importantly, Google Assistant on Wear OS has been showing its age for a while now. I’ve been testing Gemini on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a little over two weeks. In addition to using it for daily tasks, I’ve also been comparing it side by side wi

Google Maps sucks on unpaved roads, so I use this open source app instead

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-29 17:30:16

Andy Walker / Android Authority Google Maps was primarily designed for inner-city travel, where roads are well-marked and relatively smooth. I doubt the app’s developers envisioned users navigating gravel roads in the heartland of South Africa. So, it’s unsurprising that the app becomes far less useful once you hit the dirt. However, where Google Maps falls short, OsmAnd excels. OsmAnd is a free, open-source app on the Play Store and F-Droid. It draws data from various sources, primarily relyi

The dream of Chromebooks that double as gaming laptops appears to be on its last legs. 9to5Google reports that Google is ending support for Steam for Chromebooks starting January 1, 2026. Porting the application launcher was part of an extended push from the company to make Chromebooks a place to play games.

You can apparently buy Google’s official Pixel Tablet stylus that never launched

TL;DR Last year, Google canceled its plans for the Pixel Tablet 2, leaving the fate of the company’s Pixel stylus unclear. This summer, that stylus has started popping up at online retailers, now branded as the Pixel Tablet Pen. The pen works fine with the existing Pixel Tablet, but not all its features appear fully implemented.

NASA and Google are building an AI medical assistant to keep Mars-bound astronauts healthy

As human-spaceflight missions grow longer and travel farther from Earth, keeping crews healthy gets more challenging. Astronauts on the International Space Station can depend on real-time calls to Houston, regular cargo deliveries of medicines, and a quick ride home after six months. All of that may soon change as NASA and its commercial partners, like Elon Musk’s SpaceX, look to conduct longer-duration missions that would take humans to the Moon and Mars.
