where do we email our suggestions to?

[Gateau Noel]

Is there a general email for google or the developers of android to email our suggestions, hopes, and must haves? I dont even need them to answer I just want my suggestions to reach the right people or know that it is being sent to the right place.

Im not 100% sure about a specific email address, but you can join the opensource project and "contribute" by suggestions, submitting bugs, etc.

thanks buddy!

here is my list again. i think its basically everyones wishes including some of my own ill also send to the other places mentioned.

I have edited and added to my suggestion request list, i hope google developers get to read this.

1. Virtual keyboard: please work on a virtual keyboard as soon as possible.

2. File explorer: one of the benefits of a smart phone is that you can manage your program files, pictures, music, text message in out sent draft folders. A file explorer or several are now available but they are extremely limited, you can not copy move paste. We really need to be able to see the phones “tree” of files and copy move delete files where they need to be. The few file explorers out there are almost a joke and also I have created ringtones for the phone but cannot move them to the phones ringtone file, it simply wont allow it and my music player will play my 30 second ringtones and considers them a musicfile.

3. ALL standard options for our mms. At the moment we can send a picture but cannot include an audio clip, it has to be one or the other not both and also the phone does not recognize gifs! My friends send gifs all the time and im missing out! We also need to be able to save the image of the mms to our phone if we like to, not email it to an email account. We should have text font size color options audio options etc .Windows mobile has the best mms options. Gphone should have them as well.

4. in addition to our mms we need a video player recorder to record our drunken friends exploits. I went to a wonderful Halloween show and could not record a single second of it because my phone does not have a video recorder!

5. the camera needs tweaking, we need more options to adjust our camera to our own personal preferences. We need time date stamp, lighting options, sharpness and fine superfine options. I must say though that the 3 mp is awesome!

6. we need total copy and paste, we need to be able to copy text off web pages and easier copy and paste from emails and texts. we need to be able to highlight ANY text on whatever webpage, document, email ,text we are on an copy cut and paste it’s so easy on winmo phones it’s a no brainer lets get it on ours.

7. microsoft outlook contacts: we really need to be able to sync our contacts with outlook including calendar, is there anyway to make the google calendar,contacts compatible with Microsoft active sync?

8. we need a task manager, i know that android or heard it quietly puts programs to sleep once they are not used after awhile, but my phone serious slows down and is begging to have someone shut down a program that im done using while im onto the next.

9. the status bar at the notification screen although very informative and useful needs to be more intuitive, we should be able to touch the battery icon to see how much is juice is left , we need to be able to touch the wifi icon and turn it off and on as needed and save desktop space (instead of using anycut as a widget on my homescreen), we need to copy winmo's efficient all in one wifi , blue tooth, beam ,phone off and on, screen that we quick acess whenever we need to , we need to be able to touch the volume icond and be able to buzz, mute or be able to adjust the volume with our fingers.

10. for the next design, we need something more elegant and sophisticated. touch diamond, touch pro anyone? The "tab" thing that pulls up the programs is very unattractive and just doesnt "flow" with the phone. I think 2 soft right and left buttons would be great, sure windows mobile has them but its ok if you do too! And the 4 buttons at the bottom, while useful are a little geeky looking in this age of sleek sexy smartphones, we need clean straight lines, something contemporary, the home call end and back buttons look hot on the touch diamond, not on the gphone at the moment.

11. lets get a headphone jack, the peripheral opportunities would be endless!!

12. Text message fine tuning: I’m not a fan of the conversation text messages that we have now, I would rather have an inbox outbox, sent , drafts , deleted folder. I am experiencing conversation “lumping” and it becomes tedious looking for certain texts and also is there anyway we can have our contact’s pic in text? I love that with winmo phones! When a friend text replies me their contact pic is there and it just gives the text a more personable experience. Also the phone # or contact that is texting needs to be intuitive, meaning that I can touch the contact or phone # and either save as a new contact or dial the # such as winmo phones. Thank god we have group texts please don’t get rid of that!

13. We need a really good media player once again like windows media player. It should play all video and audio files and im starting to like having art work, we should copy apple and the artwork fill up the screen and also the phone should not look at my ringtones as music files as well, I can create playlists now which is great, but if I just hit shuffle, my 30 second ringtones will be included.

14. a more attractive pop email program. The pop email is almost a joke on my phone, it’s very unattractive seeing its file explorer. I would rather view my inbox and click my account to view the file explorer when needed than seeing my in out sent draft saved ims folders, which I rarely use. I just personally think its ugly seeing all those black file folders pop up. I want to see my inbox and the loading times for emails are extremely longs. Once more take a look at windows mobile phones pop email, they are wonderful!


In conclusion yes I reference windows mobile often, but that is because I feel they set some standards for smartphones that should be commonplace everywhere. I love all the versatility and options. Some of my suggestions such as headphone jack obviously cant be fixed now, but a lot of my other suggestions can. The gphone can be awesome if it was just tweaked a little more like a windows mobile phone. The gphone is awesome in its own right that new and innovative applications are coming that winmo phones just don’t get. I am thoroughly enjoying shazam, phoneflix,wallpaper apps, the much better web browser and love how my desk top looks with its widgets. I don’t want to go back to windows mobile right now, I want the gphone to be at its best potential and although the gphone is limited (at the moment) I will not go to apple ever.
