If i have posted in wrong place kindly inform me this is my first post

I just want to know,

1. when I have lot of devises and options to backup my data personally why should I backup it in cloud? (I want my data to be always with me when i am in network or out of network)

2. when I have purchased such a costly device and when I am with so…… called advanced android I am missing with much very basic and “L” BOARD options which have been released some 5-8 years back in just java and other OS.

People who gravitate to android complain about iphones controlling apps so they quit when you leave the screen, yet because of androids so called freedom, I cannot get proper bluetooth control of my audio apps such as stitcher for which I must each day go into preferences, de-select bluetooth control, quit the app and restart then re-select bluetooth control to get the pause/play function to work.

I am listening to my podcast on stitcher, a call comes in, after the call ends, does stitcher restart? No, and when I press my pause/play button what happens, stitcher and or another audio player starts. I have had as many as three or four players running at once. Now you know why Apple has maintained control to prevent this.

This is all happening to me on the Motorola Atrix, but I doubt it is the phone at fault.

Also why can I not find an app like the Ipod that does podcasts, audio, and video all from one app then I could eliminate this problem by having only one player?

Are there any real answers for this, or does Android just plain suck?

Hey, whenever i want to save a contact. i cant because,, after inserting the phone no. and name, when i press “done” their appears.. “sorry android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly please try again”. & then it repeats again everytime.. please help me..

What about multi Language support?
I (like other 500m people) speak Arabic as first language and android 1.6 onward have no support for Arabic, neither keyboard layout or even the possibility of reading it, so imagine interacting with friends and family on social networking site without the ability to read what my friends and family are saying let alone being able to write to them.
I was hoping to emigrate from the Kingdom of Apple under the royal dictatorship of his majesty Steve Jobs to the democratic republic of Google, but from the looks of it I will be stuck with Apple iPhone for the foreseen future :(

Hi , I purchased I milestone in dec 2009 , since then had conflicts in pop3 accounts between my internet provider and my cell provider , had to fix the configuration myself , any clues how to complain to the google guys , fathers of the android , to tell them whats going on and wht they should fix thanks

However, it is this *software* that the phone makers are relying on to make themeselves “stand out” in a sea of mee-too Phone designs, they are depending on things like “Sense” and “Motoblur” to be what makes people choose their phone over a similar one built by the competition.

I thought this discussion had already died. The fact that only the EXECUTABLE needs to reside on the phone and the remainder of files can be stored on the SD Card, removes the so-called “barrier” to having games developed for Android (at least as far as space is concerned).

I agree 1000% and I’m new to all this. I can’t put my HTC Hero/Sprint DOWN! Thanks for shaking the tree.
I thank you and your team for all the awesome info. And everyone else for the feedback.
Cheers,

AMEN TO #1!!!

I agree with all these points, but my big frustration with development is a focus on custom UIs over hardware. Sense, Blur… they’re cool, but a 1Ghz processor or bigger system RAM would be way sweeter than any cool interface. If the interface lags, I don’t care how pretty/what nice functions it has, it is going to suck.

Make a phone with good hardware and then let the cool software follow.

No, I think this is a huge point. I run out of space on my device all the time, and quite frankly, stock 1.6 runs really well, so I don’t want to root.
