Your One-Stop Fix Library
Pick a card, run the steps, and stop when the issue settles. The hub organizes fixes into compact modules—update flow, permission fit, storage headroom, browser sanity, and backup reliability—so you can move quickly without guesswork or scare tactics.
Update Flow
Good updates are boring. Enable automatic updates for apps and the system. When a larger patch lands, connect to power, pause heavy downloads, and restart after installation.
- Target: 10–20% free storage
- Stable network during install
- Quick smoke test after reboot

Permission Fit
Match access to intent. 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 limit “special access” (overlays, admin rights).
Stop when background prompts calm down and the app behaves in normal mode.
Storage Headroom
Installs and caching need room to breathe. Delete old installers/exports and move large media to dated folders (year/month). Aim for 10–20% free space.
Thermals: if the phone feels warm, cool it on a hard surface before long installs.
Browser Sanity
Many page issues are profile issues. Test with a private window or a clean 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 Wi-Fi ↔ cellular or another Wi-Fi
- If failure is path-specific, it’s a local rule or congestion
Startup Discipline
Too many auto-launch apps slow everything down. Trim the list and re-enable items one by one when troubleshooting. Keep overlays to essentials only.
Backups That Restore
Backups count when they restore. Keep two copies—cloud + local drive—and run a tiny restore now (one photo or doc). Label drives and store them safely. If you encrypt backups, verify the decryption key works.
