[Nexus 5 General] Lucke:
i agree with most of this, but you also have to realize that Android has been one way for several years and it's going to take a little time to fully integrate and update all the services.

Voice is already being worked on to integrate into Hangouts (from everything that i've read and/or heard), but it's not an easy process. initial estimates were that it could be fully integrated by March/April, but we'll see (take this with a grain of salt as it's just hear-say as of now).

everyone wants to point to iOS, but that's an even more flawed mobile OS, with even more stupid quirks to it that don't really make sense (at least to me).

the more Android evolves and matures as an OS, the better things are going to be (both functionality and integration wise), but it's still going to take a little bit of time.

Stream-charge™ - new ota battery charging!

Personally I would like to see OTA Battery Charging. I don't know if the technology exists yet however there are some really brilliant and creative minds out there and I am sure in a few years it will be available. I suppose that would be more of a hardware issue though, but nonetheless it's all energy in one form or another that we're throwing around here.
[Nexus 5 General] Ubichinon:
There is no such thing, that would mean electrical energy would be transfered via the air, which isnt possible now (or in the near future if you ask me).
[Nexus 5 General] Radixtrator:
I srsly doubt that will happen in foreseeable future. Qi is pretty new and not widely used, because its probably too unknown and new. But charging your phone across the room wireless? I don't think that will happen anytime soon.
[Nexus 5 General] RCALL:
Not possible?

... Not Possible in the near future? I guess I am just a little more optimistic than most. But I'll give you some advice, Never say "impossible", not in this day and age.

[Nexus 5 General] ash1684:
This one.
[Nexus 5 General] timtlm:
+1 This is currently the worst thing about the nexus 5. The UI is terrible. All the settings are buried in a tree of menus. It needs a dedicated video record button and burst mode. It also needs to fix the cropping of the view finder. It needs to simply have a setting for wide screen or full screen and view and save in the same format. If the only update I see in the next version of Android is a complete overhaul of the camera app, I will be happy.
[Nexus 5 General] b.spec:
A lot of the features mentioned so far can already be achieved with an app, launder, or custom ROM. Yeah it would be nice if they were built into the official builds (especially Hangouts improvements), but a lot of us are going to flash a custom ROM anyways. Multi-windows would be nice, and just overall improvements to the back end for RAM management, performance, and battery life (although those are all kind of more or less the same thing).

USB Audio out for cars.

I think android should integrate audio out into the Micro USB port. It would be nice to be able to control my music library from my car's head unit. With programs like Viper4Android, I strongly prefer android phones for music playback. Phones have become many peoples' primary method of music playback, so why not make the experience as seamless as possible?

Better clipboard feature.

If I long pressed a textbox on my Padfone 2, the usual "paste" icon showed up accompanied by a second icon "clipboard".

When I clicked that icon, a panel slid up from where the keyboard normally is, which had the last copied elements as a small preview, with an additional button to edit the contents. In edit mode, I could delete elements or mark them as permanent (I guess the system would overwrite them when the cashe would be full at some point otherwise).

This needs to be a core feature in the next Android version.
[Nexus 5 General] redalertlb:
Be nice if they integrated Google Keep as a clipboard feature like stated above. I like Google keep but it's not connected to anything all you can do is take notes separately.

Love this feature on Nokia WP phones. We just need an overall better camera app. There's nothing on the play store either, so we're kind of stuck with this.

An improved camera app. I used to switch between Touchwiz and AOSP on my GS3 and the difference in pictures was mind boggling. They really need to focus on camera software

edit: One more thing, I'm not sure if this is do-able already or not but since SMS is now integrated with Hangouts, may be allow users to see/reply to texts from the messenger online ala iMessenger.

[Nexus 5 General] KLancelot:
I'm relatively new to Android, having used iOS since the original iPhone. I'd like to see app badges integrated. I know there are widgets with badges and launchers that add badges but I'm not sure why badges aren't uniformly implemented across all app icons. I've fiddled with apps like Unread Gmail and UCCW and other widgets. It'd be nice if it was uniformly implemented in the default launcher.

I'd also like to be able to re-order items in Google Now. I think items are ordered but how frequently they're viewed but reordering the order would be nice.

Quiet hours.

Finally, ability to backup up to a computer straight out of the box, no rooting or etc.

Overall, I'm enjoying Android a lot. So many things I can do with root and Xposed that is not difficult to implement, in contrast to everyone worrying about their windows to jailbreak and when the next jailbreak will finally land.

[Nexus 5 General] KLancelot:
Thank you for this. I actually already use Helium Pro.

On the iOS side, you can create a perfect local copy of the phone, down to placement of apps on the screen and all saved data.

I've rooted and created Nandroid backups already but it's not exactly out of the box to unlock the bootloader, root, restart into TWRP, create a Nandroid over an OTG cable to a USB key, and then copy it over to your hard drive on your laptop. Plus, it's a pain to reboot into TWRP to create a Nandroid.

I've taken my Nexus 7 back to stock once in the last month but once you log into Google, it just starts downloading all the installed apps from the Google Play Store and it's up to you to rearrange everything and your widgets.

In iTunes, your backup is a perfect backup. When you restore, it puts everything back into place exactly as it was at the time of the backup. Maybe Nandroid does this; I've not had to test a Nandroid backup yet. It would be nice to have a local backup but I guess that would entail Google creating desktop software akin to iTunes and we all know how bloated iTunes is already...

Expecting in 4.5

I would like to have the following in the next version:

-Always listening voice command system (like the one in MOTO X) with a voice recognition system (i.e., it only responds to the phones owner when phone is locked).

-A more functional Guest mode / profile setup option, that will entails the user to share the phone with people and kids without any hassle.
[Nexus 5 General] KLancelot:
Thank you.

But Helium or Titanium or any of the other backup apps don't do a complete image backup, do they? I think a Nandroid is an image backup, right?

In iTunes, the local backup is a complete image backup in the sense that once you restore from the backup, you're returned to exactly where you were when you backed up. I think the Nandroid is that too but this is not the out of box experience for Android now.

Right now, I'm using Helium to backup specific apps but I don't think it'll backup everything unless you backup each individual app and even then, it's not a local image backup, right?

I think this would be a nice feature to have in Android. For the less technically savvy, this would be a nice feature to bring in that crowd... and to help with the transition from iOS to Android.
[Nexus 5 General] :
But without the dedicated cores for things like always listening on the Moto x, the n5 wouldn't ever sleep and battery would take a huge hit.

Listening mode to be expected in Nexus 5

but comparing the h/w spec of the N5 to that of the Moto X seems to be more rich in many aspects, also i browsed through some android forums and got some good info:D ( but not sure how reliable the information is).. i would like to share that with you along with the source link ..

It was widely expected that the Nexus 5 from Google would also include the always on listening feature as seen on the Moto X, since the Snapdragon S800 processor has a dedicated core for audio processing while barely sipping any power. While the Nexus 5 does have the ‘Ok, Google’ feature, it only works on the home screen, and not when the device screen is turned off.

As it turns out, there is more to Motorola’s Touchless control feature than what meets the eye.

Siggi Simonarson, a software engineer, was pretty frustrated with the lack of always on voice detection feature on his Nexus 5. He decided to tear up the APK of the Touchless control app on the Moto X to see if he could get it to run on the Nexus 5. It turns out that Motorola is using Nuance’s Dragon Speech Recognition Software to perform some part of the voice recognition on the Moto X. The ‘Ok, Google’ hot word detection, even when the device is locked or while using an app, being a part of it.

Nuance is a leading provider of speech and imaging solutions, and is also the creator of Siri as seen on Apple’s iOS devices. The Galaxy Note 3 from Samsung also has an always-on listening mode, similar to the Moto X, for S-Voice and the software recognition once again has been provided by Nuance.

It is very much possible that Nuance has a patent on this feature, which meant that Google might have had to pay the company royalties for every Nexus 5 that was sold, if it included this feature. Considering the low prices of the Nexus 5, chances are we might never see this feature make it to the Nexus devices, since Google is not really interested in using a third party voice recognition feature.

Hopefully, down the line, Google manages to find a workaround to this patent and brings a similar feature to the Nexus devices.

4.4 is pretty perfect but i wish they would fix multi-tasking when you end up clicking a link in an app it takes you back to the link instead of the app. You have to keep pressing back.

If i share something in chrome through hangouts, the multi-tasking will show hangouts instead of chrome. Very annoying.

I would also like to see them fix the wakelocks.

I think they can do a lot more with the notification toggle. (two fingers swipe one). Maybe have some more customization.

And what happend to app ops? I want a setting that allows me to pick which app shows notifications. most of the time unchecking "show notifications" doesn't actually work.

Xposed is ok, but it can cause problems as well.
