Battery life! Seriously the rest of the os is way more advanced.

Themes

Google maps needs offline chacing of your road trips, reduces battery usage and for those pesky holes in coverage.

Silverlight for netflix

Better and more widgets out of the box aka music widget with album art etc...

Most of all create a better and bigger gaming scene.

Android 2.3

i would like some of the things back i lost going from my nokia 6680 (and htc710 ) like txt message in one place .a phone book that i can control not show Sim contacts . that only puts mobile contacts to send messages to. it should be a phone first and should do that very well out the box ,the os needs a lot of work . i miss not being able to play divx videos i know a iphone cant more reason to do it and all the other formats, i used Core player on other phones it worked great . the spread sheet will not open some of the files i used on my other phones. i think the OS looks great i would just like it to work as it should ..

just found Rock Player and it play divx great jobdone.

1. Blow the market up and start over (not the apps just the presentation). I mean this has to happen fast. I hate the market because it makes android look like a joke. They need to filter comments that contain curse words and untrue statements. They need to get certified app reviewers to write a comment on every app in the market so you at least know it does what it claims. Why are apps that say it does something but doesn't still able to live in the market.? Get them out until reworked or changed. Its also unfair to have have comments like "useless, uninstalled this ****" posted without some explanation or way of negating what the dip **** posts. If a person randomly post's a one word comment like "spyware" it causes me to think twice before installing regardless if it's true or not. This needs to be stopped! Posting something that accuses app of being spyware can have negative results for new applications and be used as a weapon by competing app dev's. I am sorry to drone on and love Android but things could get bad really quick if easy changes are not made to present all these applications. I can come up 40 things off the top of my head that could make the market better so why is this so hard to do?

OK i am done. (deep breath)

For me:

it should add even more performance (faster using old cpu)

And more important is, full polished email app, calendar app, and contact, and these core apps can be upgraded too from market.

- Free cookies with every purchase

- Google Reader integration.. (Might be an app for that, still haven't found a good one).

- Changeable voices in the navigation. The current Dutch one is a bit scary. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] b33:
Some of my wishes:

Improved market, with more filters and sections (sometimes it's very hard to find the good stuff),

paid apps on all countries,

really wish google did something to boost the number of "pro" developers on the platform /make it more profitable.

Unified UI, i'm quite jealous of the iphone, almost all stuff fits together

More google services integrated, for example, i'm using Gtasks for my To-do list ( syncs with google tasks ) and that feels like google's job.

they already have the basic functionality and i'm quite happy but more "eyecandy" and usability would only bring more users to android,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] traxxasaddict:
Definitely 2.3/3.0 needs a "Control" key (for copy/paste) on the hard and soft keyboards. It also needs stock app menu organizer (for reordering or organizing apps into categories.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] steelbytes:
* samba. I'd like to be able to view pics and vids from on my nas

* better updating of the OS. yes, this is upto the handset manufacture (eg HTC), but that's the whole problem. I don't want to have to be stuck waiting for 6months for an OS update - or even no updates once the phone is not the 'current model'. Need some google supported generic release that anyone is allowed to install. eg like with Windows, where if I buy a Dell, I don't have to wait on dell for updates - I can get 'em from MS (and drivers for nvidia etc)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] topdnbass:
First to all the people saying root access..

This will never come to pass.

Google will never knowingly enable "true" root-access, and in the off chance that they did the phone manufacturer and carrier would prevent it to from ever reaching the end-user.

What does android as an OS really need??

I'll try and sum it up in a few words..

Efficiency, consistency, integration, and optimization.

Affecting battery life, resources, code, and the overall user experience.

The truth is there are parts of the current (2.1) where it's obvious that the code could be better.

There's a lot of little things that should have been done ages ago,

like the implementation of copy+paste being very bad without a trackball or sense browser's dragging points..

Improvement on the overall smoothness, and removal of jittery touch responses.

Aesthetic improvement and animations..

Fragmentation should be history, although I think that's gonna be a major point in 3.0..

Even with all this theres a part of me that wants to say go back to the basics..

What I mean by that is the foundation of android, which is *nix..

The keyword here is lightweight.. but that doesn't by any means imply a lack of features.

Lightweight and optimized but very very capable, just like every distro is..

I got more but its 4AM so peace out ;)

Next Android will be 3.0 - gingerbread, here is nice article about it:

http://mobile-review.com/articles/2010/birulki-73-en.shtml

So we can expect it in October. I guess that next Google phone (with Android 3.0) will be announced one year later than N1.

T505 / Bluetooth hands-free device integration

I'd like to be able to answer and initiate calls from my Bluetooth hands-free device (like my Motorola T505) in the car. I could do it in Windows Mobile, but my Droid can't do it. Makes using the Droid in the car much less convenient.

And.. sorry if it's fixed in 2.2 - WE DON'T HAVE THAT YET.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hanafubuki:
I would really like to see a good video player with mkv and subtitle support like on the galaxy S, but already integrated. An overhaul of the music player would be nice as well because the standard music player is pretty basic out of the box.

And something which probably isn't possible: offer a platform or framework for oems to customize the look and feel in way that doesn't require the user to wait for android updates from his oem. The user should be able to update android with the custom gui still in tact. This probably requires a lot of work under the hood but I think this would help solve the fragmentation issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BoogWeed:
0) Improve performance/battery drain

1) Improve memory management (killing all tasks every 20 just to make the phone work normally is not acceptable, especially when they all just start right back up after 2 mins)

1) A proper video player

2) Proper flash support

3) Auto Back-up/sync of SMS to your google account

4) Native back up (like Nandroid)

5) Full theme support

6) Native WLAN interfacing (browse/move files, play music/videos etc)

7) UI guidelines

8) Overhaul marketplace (including the SEARCH! This is a Google platform, no?)

9) ROM manager? :D

I don't think we're going to see a 2.3 seeing as we're only a few months away from 3.0.

As far as I know, 3.0 and upwards will be for all the new phones coming out in 2011 and 2.2 will become the standard for all the older 'budget' phones... i.e. wildfire, desire etc...

A few ideas...

1. Better power management - many of us install apps like Y5 to smartly turn on/off wifi

2. How about a frequently used app section in the app drawer

3. Native ability to hide apps in the app drawer

4. I like the HTC themes concept - i could flip back between regular use (apps/widgets) to and kid mode (limited apps)

5. Ability to natively change colors of status bar, battery, etc...

6. ability to set default picture folder (or all folders) in gallery

Hello everyone, I just want to make a quick observation. Nearly 10 pages of wishlisting and speculations MONTHS before the official release of GingerBread: and now here we are weeks after its official release and no one's even posted a single comment! except of course for the guy plugging his remote Service access app.....

come on, it is pretty exciting to see the stuff they added, and i think this is the best place to discuss it all.

So yeah this is me [/lurking] and initalizing a Bump...

Are the roms for touch diamond suitable for MDA?

Thanks in advance

You should start from here (wiki-pages):

Hello,

Formel-LMS gave me a heads up that there's no "Vibration and sound off" option when pressing volume down on the homescreens..

On 2.1 you got "sound (1 to 100)", "vibration only", "silence (no vibration, no sound)"

On 2.2 the last one seems to be missing..

Check the attached screens, last one is missing (its german but you'll see it on the icons..)

Is it possible to add that back? It'd be great to see that in future 2.2 ROMs :)

And I don't want to use additional apps or widgets ..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andybz:
I reported this in the Android issue tracker

If I restart the phone with USB cable inserted into the phone and computer (on), then the sound occurs again(but not in original style, sound occur in to the back speaker not in front ), and phone function almost normally with microphone (on)>>> until the next reboot when sound disappear again and microphone is off. I mention that;.... connection the phone to the computer can not be achieved in any of this cases. The error code (USB connection) connection on my computer is {Code 10(One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it)} who can not recognize the new hardware.
