[Galaxy S I9000 General] stevekainth:
I have been thinking a lot lately about my phone, I have a Galaxy S and I felt some features that were not there or missing without the third party apps, I think putting these together will help making an already amazing operating system even better

1. SMS and call history

Google should come with service where these are backed up on Google servers, or have the option to save it to the external sd card, so that when you format your phone they should be back again. (Yes I know there are third party software’s that does that but something like that should be a part of Google android)

2. Google Talk with Video Integration.

(Right now Yahoo, fringe etc. are there for video chat) but Google should come up with their own video integration service.

3, Google doc support.

Android is lacking with Google doc support, I hope they come up with it, in coming versions.

4. Google chrome,

It should be the default Browser, and should come up as preinstalled browser on the Android.

5. Bookmarks.

Google should come up with a service like xmarks and xpass, which saves your bookmarks and passwords on the servers and sync them with your home and office computers.

6. Video/music player.

I saw this somewhere on the xda where they have put in upcoming default player for android that would be a great thing to come. Also I would want it to have an option where it gives you option to select the directory which you want to scan and put into the music and video player. I don’t want it pick anything and everything (Like the game video/music files)

7. Google sync.

Google should come up with a default pc application, not something like HTC has their own, and Samsung has bull**** kies. Also it should have options to save a back up for settings, sms, applications and call logs etc.

8. Market.

They made the interface better but they still need to sync it much better to the Google account and next time when you format the phone, the applications which the person has always be using, should come in the list of previously installed applications, so that we can install them all in one go.

9. Power saving feature.

I used the task killers etc.. They don’t really do anything. but one thing I do not know when you close the application why does it keep running in background? We don’t really need this, it should be more like Symbian once you close the app, it should not run unless you rerun it.. (This will help fix the battery issues)

10. Google maps.

They are getting better and better day by day with maps, but one thing I would say is still lacking is the navigation part. Google Navigation is really not as good as the Igo, Garmin etc. They should allow you to download the map of the city you are in and should show route by route navigation. Also There is a Mark your place option missing, you can mark your house etc, unless you save it as a contact on Google maps, which is annoying..

This is my experience on Android and features which I feel are missing and can make the Android the best OS on the earth ...

PS. This feedback is more related with software only, if you know any feature that you miss the most, comment :)
