Android Central Stocking StuffersOh, my. So ... full. Can't ... hardly ... type. But the giving must go on. We're marching toward the final round of our month-long (ish) Google Play Gift Card giveaway, in which we're giving 31 lucky winners $10 to spend on Android apps, movies, music, magazines or TV shows from Google Play.

Oh, and by the way -- all 31 winners (one for each day in December) will be entered to win a shiny new Nexus 4, still in its box, sitting here on our desk. (In case you had any concern for our ability to snag what remains an unsnaggable device.)

So ... for today's entries: Leave a comment on this post and tell us the top Android-related feature you're hoping for in 2013. One entry per person, yadda yadda yadda.

Good luck!

Andreas Paskalis says:

Merry Christmas everyone :)

I hope that google will give us a feature that could pick every color that we want with just using back camera.
And also reduce the heat from intense using. It's annoying

chronos#CB says:

LTE for tmobile, bigger screen and longer battery life for gs4

2gerry says:

With the ever thinning line between the size of a smartphone and a seven inch tablet, I just like the manufacturers to get it done and over with. Huawei's supposed to come out with a 6.1" smartphone and even a rumored 8.4 or 8.6" phablet, in 2013. I would love to see a 7" Nexus Smartphone with full Tablet functionality. But of course, this would mean lost sales for the manufacturers....dream on, I guess.

willmsbrg says:

That my AT&T Note2 gets multi-view without rooting as I've been really happy with this phone out of the box for a change!!

Thanks for the contest.

Philter05 says:

How about a wireless charging standard!

rkeenan says:

I am hoping to see wireless charging be a standard for Android.

Stefan Vollmer says:

an automation tool like atooma built in right into the system would be a huge improvement to the android eco system.

another improvement should be strict regulations for app developers, about how an android app should look like, where is the option menu what happens with the back button.

damobster54 says:

I'm looking forward to Android becoming 64bit. It will unlock the potential of the powerful hardware.

thacounty says:

I am hoping for Android to make updates a requirement for manufacturers. There's no reason Samsung still allows ATT (or any other carrier) to dictate what goes on the phones after they sold that many devices.

GENERAL_ROOKIE says:

For 2013, im hoping for an android update for Nexus 7 that gives us dual application screens (like samsung plans to give). I really want the dual application feature for true multitasking!!!!

stormy777 says:

More battery life!

TechAd says:

Local and cloud app data backup...without the need for root.

sly says:

This isn't a top Android-feature, per-se, but I'd like to see Google change their mind about support of Active Sync and Google Calendar Sync.

LoveToTalkSports says:

New features I am hoping to see in 2013 for Android are: "Live Tiles" widgets, improved Google Play store with quality apps, BETTER battery life management. Oh would love to have a Nexus 4 in my hands!!

ezcats says:

Key Lime Pie with Project Roadrunner or whatever they call it. Just better battery life and more butter!

itsrommel says:

if moto can put in a 3300mah battery in the razr maxx/razr maxx hd, then other manufacturers should be able to as well.

dancing-bass says:

New spin on Nexus.

Google specifies hardware but not manufacturer (EG, must be quad core, must have 2Gig ram, must have specific minimums for camera (sensor size, performance, resolution). If a phone manufacturer's device meets those requirements it can be labelled and marketed as "Nexus"

Key Lime Pie (or whatever the "K" OS will be called)

next evolution of battery hardware

(And I gotta say I'm curious about sammy's flexible screen that have been leaked)

frozndevl says:

I want inductive charging for my next device.

houseofpayne04 says:

A native way to control LED notifications and more customizable notifications built right into the Android OS would be stellar.

jludwig57 says:

Jelly Bean for my S2 skyrocket. I don't really want to root.

Ry says:

A "Find My Android Device" feature built-in.

dakine26-2 says:

Would love a more sophisticated permission model so that I wouldn't need to root in order to give one app permission to another application's data. (example - Aldiko and Aldiko Sync)

SpookDroid says:

Photoshpere for Galaxy Note 2, of course!!! Oh, and Holographic Displays, although I might not get that next year :P

jhilker says:

Would love to be able to set separate tones for messages, similar to calls...

p1neapples says:

Yahooooooooooooooo!

Zanzaras says:

Hmmm... i'd like the next big feature of Android to automagically turn Verizon into a dumb pipeline with reasonable data prices.

b0ricua says:

Looking forward to Chrome remote desktop for mobile!

tyoac says:

better group text messages and project battery!

kisong says:

Note 2 - Key Lime Pie!!!

facedown41 says:

Looking forward to flexible screens!

pokingmon says:

I'm hoping for Google to put their foot down and work out deals with carriers/manufacturers so that we can install vanilla Android releases on carrier branded handsets, or get an "opt out" feature while setting up a carrier device that doesn't install any bloatware or carrier branded software. If anything, this could be a workaround for users to get rid of bloatware and software that we don't need without resorting to rooting and dealing with unrefined/unofficial builds. I think the carriers need to be shown that allowing pure Android on their sets won't affect their bottom line. General users that aren't tech savvy should have an easy route to pure Android when Nexus phones are hard to come by. (or if the carrier can get them a better deal)

shahid99 says:

Ermmm I want bigger batteries and 2
.0. Ghz processer

uknowwhoiam76 says:

A taser in Key lime pie! Or just photosphere on my Evo LTE.

Jleagle says:

Bendy screens! :)

deep210 says:

Better battery life all the way.

ecpolo521 says:

I want to see a better stock Messenger app.

priority9 says:

would love to see Google music (i'm in Canada)available and better integration of Google now

IgorPunck says:

next gen Nexus phone from Samsung would be amazing. Also an app for Nexus 7 to control Google TV (Android mini PC).
Happy Holidays guys!

quelsplace says:

I would like to see a compatable Facetime app so I can keep in touch with my son who has an iphone.

bloodbond3 says:

I'm excited for MediaMonkey 4.1, which will feature Wi-Fi syncing with Android! Also the OUYA (proud backer)!!!

delesh says:

Split screen multitasking built into stock Android.

ktklein says:

I think along the lines of the GNote2, true multi-windows/multitasking as a standard feature moving forward for all builds of the OS from KLP 5.X forward. Another feature that would be nice is have all app devs write one app that works for both smartphones and tablets with the appropriate layout displaying depending on which device the app is loaded instead of separate versions of the app for each type of device.

brandon_L says:

Photo sphere would be nice

yocubed says:

a keyboard dock for the nex10!!

shyam92 says:

Another HTC Nexus phone!!!!!

jweng says:

An easier and consistent copy and paste functionality in Android OS.

NealJ777 says:

I'm hoping for the ability to voice control settings (WiFi on/off, etc...)

Have Google Now launch apps! :)

mr.wizard says:

I'm hoping for more places to adopt Google wallet. I'm sick of only going to McDonald's to pay for stuff with my phone... And my waistline doesn't like it either

ungibbed says:

A first party charging cradle and new back cover on the Galaxy S III that uses the charging pins inside the phone itself. One major feature I miss from my BlackBerry years ago.

So much for Dear Santa, it's now Dear Samsung... ;-)

tubamaneric says:

Can't think of any new features, I'm pretty happy with where we're at.

FaSSt2001 says:

More parental controls for the Play Store.

Jays2Kings says:

All-in-one Messaging app and toggles in 4.2 quick settings (like CM10.1)

tigerhoodz06 says:

I'm ready to see the skins just an app overlay on top of stock android instead of it being fully integrated allowing for quicker updates. Also a more evolved and use of nfc.

Ladymoney17 says:

Just a quickness from At & T for all the updates that are promised for 2013. The carrier is a little slow and better battery life. Happy New Year all

HoosierRealtor says:

BlackBerry Messenger on Android once BB declares bankruptcy and is snatched up by Google.

auronblue says:

I'd like to see the 4.2 update on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus :-)

LeoPT says:

photosphere for my galaxy note 2 tmo, with screen recording also.

fastfreddy7 says:

I would like a new standard for glass! Hate screen protectors, but also hate scratches! Please pick me!

ppritcha says:

Nexus 10 with keyboard.

MrJazz says:

Better use of augmented reality tech...

anpan879 says:

Optimized battery life. Also Wallet availability on all devices.

ro_bro says:

I'd like to see this simple feature which integrates google calendar and gmail.

Basically, let me have an option to send an email later, and then choose what day/time, which makes an entry into my gcal.

Reason? There are use cases where you need to either confer someone or think through it before you reply to an email. But too often, these end up slipping through the cracks.

jimj21 says:

Application cloud sync

sfbates says:

I want to see Google Wallet on more then 3 devices! :)

hellomango says:

Official 4.2 update from Verizon for VZW Galaxy Nexus!

zorian99 says:

bigger battery

suburbansoljah says:

I would like to see less bloat ware and the ability to use google now for app launching and other tasks.

Goutham Kumaran says:

i'm hoping to get android in every device and the ability to update all phones to the latest version of android not waiting for manufacturer to rls it & ofc eagerly awaiting Key Lime Pie

mittcb says:

Better battery life and more stability :)

Not too much to ask, right? Right?

alershka#AC says:

I would love some additional improvement to battery / power management for my Galaxy Nexus.

JerWiles says:

I want to see improvements to Google Play Video.... On my Vizio Co-Star the buffering is so bad it's unusable.

Master_Dex says:

I'd like to see more Nexus phone options on all carriers in the future.

tullywork says:

Standard wireless charging!!!

ninjajmon says:

Unbreakable flexible screen by Samsung.

Zdmb91 says:

I would love to see more from Google now! It is a game changer in the industry...speed enhancements along with usability improvements will put Siri to shame!

Howard Helbein1 says:

Id like to see better built-in battery management without having to manually turn off wifi, gps, Bluetooth, etc.

zrati69 says:

Still trying

Rileycat says:

I'd love to see better integration/access of google voice typing and control over bluetooth

staindone says:

I hope for more setting as far as the notification bar. Make google now show card info without having to pull down, and being able to customize which settings are there.

skel4877 says:

Wireless Charging! or maybe a holographic prototype phone

rjcormier says:

the feature I would like in 2013 is a way to better manage my contacts because I have contacts in 3 different email accounts and some are duplicates and I end up getting merged contacts better not supposed to be merged and then I have to figure out which 1 to delete and it is very time consuming.and I really want to Nexus 4! I just spoke this to my phone so I must say that my favorite feature on my Android device is voice dictation by  Google

Cheryl Brown says:

I would like to see a way to input credit card info for Google play but have it password protected so a child can not buy apps without knowledge. I bought my 5 year old granddaughter a Samsung MP 3 player but would like to have been able to link a creditcard to her account but still need a password to purchase.

jharo says:

I want more wireless charging.

nolan.b says:

Ability to assign app specific colors to LED light.
If batter is below X %, ability to move to power saving mode (with optional disabling or minimizing features).

Happy Holidays!

fguills says:

Charger mat for my nexus 7.

androidaw says:

Key Lime Pie

LoSes says:

More clever uses of the Jellybean Notification shade.

xXXNotMVAMXXx says:

I want to be able to text just by looking at the letters on my screen, if Stephan Hawking can do it, why cant I.

W_R_R says:

Skyrim for Android, where you could take your created character everywhere w/you, continue games started on xbox to your phone, in a way treat your character like a "virtual pet". Full integration between xbox and Android device. Yeah, that'd be cool.

CarlosGonzalez1 says:

cloud saves for games

aliases says:

I'd like to see Google Now have scheduling command recognition.

Animegrltsukasa says:

I want multi window.

Ziptied says:

better GV integration! Merry Christmas guys!

Nevets68 says:

The 4.04 update to the AT&T galaxy s2 is horrible! The "added" features include :

1. Decreased battery life
2. laggy performance
3. lock up's resulting in battery pulls (shades of owning a blackberry years ago).

jugdish says:

I would like to see more apps designed specifically for tablets released.

khaoszr says:

I want to see Mirrorcast become more developed

mdye says:

The one thing I'd like to see most, honestly, is better integration with stock Android in the various skins. I'm not so naïve as to say no more skinning (though that would be nice) but Samsung, HTC et al. could do a *much* better job making their skins and apps fit in with the Android Holo ecosystem. I know, it's a pipe dream.

runswithknives says:

Thanks for the opportunity! Having been on board with android for some time, I would love to see a stock android SMS to speech (and speech to sms) feature added for integration with car Bluetooth systems. This would avoid my wife's sly smiles when her windows phone does it and my state of the art android doesn't. This would avoid the need to download apps like Vlingo, etc.....

darr107 says:

Better battery comsuption

Illustrator Joe says:

I can't wait to get multi window support on my AT&T galaxy note 2.

Irwright says:

A way to allow users to upgrade to the latest code release without being limited by the vendor of the device or the carrier

Irwright says:

A way to allow users to upgrade to the latest code release without being limited by the vendor of the device or the carrier

izeilfel says:

I'd love to see more options for google cards, more address inputs

djkleric says:

best feature would be better battery management that is what I am looking for

gmtom1 says:

Hope everyone got some good android devices from Santa! Hope I win a Nexus 4!

Lemmy666 says:

Project Roadrunner coming in the newest version of Android

Buchh@lter says:

I want multi window multi tasking in vanilla android!!

jimrx7 says:

I am hoping that the multi-user feature finally makes it to the latest update for Jellybean.

williamshire says:

I'm hoping 2013 will bring more automation to Android a la Tasker so that you don't need an app.

johnowenstko says:

A working wallet app for my VZW Galaxy Note 2.

Exergy says:

Pick me! I'm looking forward to a better notification system and more widgets.

JustinB_74 says:

Combined inbox..Its been far too long not to have this feature in AOSP

tman525 says:

Can't really think of much other than ability to remove OEM skins from non nexus devices. Oh and more nexus devices from more manufacturers!

ak110707 says:

I want to see more stock android devices running vanilla android.

feisty_noodle says:

Not sure how realistic this is, but—better power management.
Also, it would be great to add a permission for hands-off Google Now (as in: locked phone control via headset).

racingbmwm3 says:

multiple login's/users

Bethlyn184 says:

Would like the separate sign on for kids. Would like 1 tab for the 8 year old and 1 tab for the 4 year old as this on gets upset he can't understand/read the 8 yr olds games.

smartphonedude says:

In respects to the android platform from the g1 to the nexus 4 the OS had developed nicely. In hardware retrospect battery is the only thing I really would want to see.

mjwedeking says:

I want to see Android updates working like Chrome updates

crowrb29 says:

better integration of apps for expandable notifications. bigger batteries in every phone as opposed to just the razr maxx

chaseweadock says:

hoping that sprint somehow manages to get either the nexus 4 or the new x-phone.

Josh Hines says:

I hope Miracast comes out soon and is able to be used with my transformer prime and my vizio smart tv :)

Derek1267 says:

Built in split keyboard for tablets

jrock151#CB says:

Ready for new update to come to the states for S3.

jt2112 says:

Honestly, the feature that I think many people would like is a feature to back up app data and restore it across multiple devices - I think Amazon's WhisperSync does this in a similar way with books and apps on Kindle devices (although I'm not quite sure). This would be my most desired feature in the next iteration of Android.

avantard says:

I have three:

1) Photosphere for 4.1 users

2) Better control of icon control for desktop jump folders. As in, rather than everything shuffling from the top left corner down, I'd like be able to arrange icons within a jump folder and leave gaps between icons, just like I do on my desktop.

3) Built-in LED controls.

Joel Matton says:

Full mouse capabilities. The ability to switch to a desktop mode with desktop events whenever a word processing or similar app is being used.

prodaytrade says:

Ability to switch between stock and manufacturer's UI (Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc).

Zicious says:

Over the air sharing, like apple TV!

Droiddude24 says:

Flexible OLED Display!

professorx says:

Looking forward to the 6" phone that is "unpocketable". Should be a big seller.

Hubertsng says:

Better battery. way better battery.

PKnowles95 says:

Split screen on stock android!

PKnowles95 says:

Split screen on stock android!

JinCT says:

Photosphere for my GN II!

mwong says:

I would love to see a Moto Nexus done right.

dyastrab says:

Happy Holidays!

valapsp says:

Key lime pie for nexus 7. I can't think of a feature right now seriously.

SkroBot says:

Flexible displays and wireless charging:)

baldypal says:

The #1 Android related feature of 2013 that i can't wait for is improved Google TV.

etnpnys says:

Miracast!! I know it's in there! Let me use it!!

Stychill says:

Nothing brings out the comments like a contest, Well i don't know what feature i would like to see implemented since i don't own even one android device, what i would like is more options to be able to boot up to stock android out of the box without being on a nexus device, i need storage space and the nexus phone line just doesn't offer it, give me an HTC device with a design similar to the one series booting stock android straight out of the box.

ttriplett1 says:

Wireless Charging, please??

rich_halvorson says:

Ability to store google play music on SD Card without hack.

jrmitchell72 says:

Photosphere would be nice!

qwertyman43 says:

Not really an Android specific feature, but I would love to have manufacturers put larger batteries in the phones. At least those that can last longer than a day. That, and more photography apps like the Nokia-specific ones on the 920.

PS. Thanks for the giveaways!!!

Eric Bogle says:

I would love to see the awesome Android phones on Verizon also made available on AT&T. Razer Maxx, DNA, etc.

reverendrhino says:

More voice related software would be nice.

Foxpaw says:

Photosphere for sure, on the GS3.

rmwilk says:

Key Lime Pie!

LarryPGH says:

I don't know if this counts, but I'd sure like to see at least some sort of Google Play integration with the Android variant running on my Kindle! Yeah, I know, ain't ever gonna happen, but you asked what I wanted, not what I expected had a snowball's chance, right? So, I'll keep staring at my Android phone, wishing it to grow up into a real tablet!

JobiWan144 says:

1) A complete reworking of how the back button works,
2) a Google Navigation app that doesn't look like crap (i.e. Holo-themed), and
3) we can always use better battery life.

imadz853 says:

a backup feature that saves user data of all apps on the cloud and an imessage like feature on android...

Xbbfan73 says:

A better way to customize MY phone.

adzrules says:

I want Google to enable the iPhone killing mechanism so whenever you ring an iPhone it breaks :-)

strongergravity says:

Miracast would be nice. A Nexus 4 that people can actually order. (not Android necessarily) the ability to edit Open Document docs in Drive. Or maybe wireless charging standards. In short - use of more standards & less proprietary stuff & a N4.

What can I say - I'm a dreamer!

Miguel Avila says:

I'd like to buy apps even if I don't have a device that supports it, like on iTunes.

reeper55 says:

I want photo sphere on my Verizon GNex

nawadley says:

I'd love to have wireless charging in my car, and an official driver's license feature in Google Wallet so I can literally stop carrying my wallet!

cerebasan says:

I would like an expanded google play tv store to match itunes. Content content content.

tmcarr says:

I would be really excited to be able to grab a few more things out of the play store this month. :)

sakebomber77 says:

I would like to see google wallet come to verizon. Well maybe that will hapen some day.

jajones82 says:

KLP and a Googlrola X phone.

jimmy5cent says:

I'd like to see them add the ability to swipe down from the top of the screen in a full screen app to show the status bar. I know that their is an app that does that, but it would be nice for it to be a standard feature.

Mr Mister says:

The feature I'd like to see most is the ability for android to change its color based on user input, or wallpaper colors. This would give the user more opportunities to make android more personalized.

Budgetmedic says:

Count me in on improving battery consumption!

jkane001 says:

Integrated "Battery Saver" functions, like offered in GreenPower or similar apps, but native - and hopefully more reliable and effective. Frankly, any way to stretch battery life would be ideal.

onixblack says:

Better battery technology for longer playing times phones or power saving screen technology

Gspot82 says:

I personally really want to see the integration of googles messaging platforms and the integration with apps of some sort of game center to keep progress consistent between devices.

jkurl15 says:

Quick messaging function in stock message app.

jarombradshaw says:

I'm hoping for a major upgrades to Google Now in KLP!

rballen85 says:

I'm super happy with the speed and graphics capabilities on current phones so next I'd like to see some legitimate improvement on battery life.

kilo720 says:

New and more ways to use nfc

snpg says:

A more simplified interface that is consistent throughout the whole OS.

yankees2323 says:

Thanks AC! I would like a PS Vita phone in 2013. Or at least a cheaper PS Vita. Of course it would run Android.

Merry Christmas!

Slayers says:

I would want better battery life its the 1 thing that kills android is the battery

Teksu says:

I would like to be able to prioritize my play store apps restore order. Flashing new roms to a device can be tedious, It would be nice to mark some apps as "Important or install first" and others as "common or Manual installs".

Then after connecting to my google account the phone would only install critical apps first, such as titanium backup.

kjhalstead says:

Would love to see a phone with capability to transmit infra-red so I can get rid of all these stupid remotes littering my house!

brianfagioli says:

in 2013, I would like to somehow link my Nexus 7 to my Android phone so i can send and receive txt messages on the Nexus 7. Its annoying that if I get a txt on my cell and its in another room and I have my Nexus 7 in my hands, I cant get notified...

a-d says:

I would love to win!! One thing I am looking forward to.. is a wifi house controlled android environment. When you get to your house with a swype of a button turns on the lights to the living room and turns on your receiver, tv or lowers the temperature if you're getting home earlier than expected.. Just want them to work on Wifi Direct

Thunder350 says:

Hardware related I'd love #1 Better battery life, and #2 improved front facing camera (perhaps similar to the Oppo ulike2) for video calling on Skype and better self pics for those who like that.

Software side I'd love to get a "skinning" or "theme" feature where we can choose between manufacture skins and stock android. It'd also be nice if they'd finally fix the fragmentation issue and get devices updated on time. Currently most get a update to Android that's 2 versions behind.

Taoito says:

Wireless Streaming

wolverine318 says:

I am hoping for photosphere to come to the verizon galaxy s3.

ryemann says:

A workable guitar interface (and the improved latency to make it work on my phone)

raedchen says:

I have just Playstore-related wishes: Other payment options than credit cards, and gift cards here in europe. Buying apps seriously has to become easier for us!

defiantbeast says:

Would love to see some way of skinning or theming the stock text msg app. And add some of the features of go sms and handcent , private box, pop up window...

thenixdown says:

LBE Privacy Guard for Jellybean

Keeb13r says:

Miracast support for all devices, not just the Nexus 4.

Tim Norris says:

Combining message and Google talk into one app, especially if they also add in Google voice for SMS/MMS backup directly into to service.

sumyunguy says:

A Nexus with a Camera to rival the iPhone!

Stephan Berry says:

I would like to see wireless carriers stop blocking frimware update. And see Android on other devices ( watches,cars etc.)

MiXoLoGiSt says:

Google wallet to work on all 4.1 devices

kendallc123 says:

That would be cool, but a phone needs NFS in the back for Google Wallet to work

Hypeo says:

Gift Card, sure, I'm in....

guitarmantyler says:

I'm satisfied with my galaxy s3, but a feature I would like to see is emoji integrated into the stock OS.

kendallc123 says:

I would love manufacturers to really take a look at improving the battery life on our phones. I have an HTC Evo 4G and believe me, I know bad battery life!

prakashkantidas says:

Hey! i want infrared in all android phones. that's a wonderful way to interact with your TV, dvd player, ac, and other devices through your fan. this feature will make you to be glued with your phone all the time.

bmstew says:

College sports teams integrated into Google Now would be great.

sralj says:

I would like to see more timely updates by the carriers.

mightyfacundo says:

I agree with The Clarkster. I want a unified chat app that works on my phone, tablet, and Chromebook. Thanks AC.

kipdurran says:

I am happy with Android, but longer battery life would be nice

iOSSanjay says:

I have a N7 i hope they fix the backlight flicker. And I would like to have a GameCenter equivalent maybe something that uses Google+. That would be cool.

zen0s says:

1080p screen with samsung's flexible display!

Gonzofreak says:

Thought controlled Android.

fooznugget says:

It'd be nice if we could get MMS through google voice

owlique says:

Motorola Nexus Phone. That's all.

gulfu says:

the new feature i would like to see on android is finger print lock screen. so that the owner has much more control. like if we can set 1 thumb finger print for full access and other one for limited access

FjT says:

High end phone with 4" or 4.3" screen!

AirAngel911 says:

BATTERY LIFE!!!!

scraptacular says:

Feature built-in to OS that allows customization of apps to notify via LED colored lights. Is that too much to ask of my GSIII?

mdking1968 says:

A google play card for my new Moto Razr HD? Yes please!

canreo says:

A better graphical IDE.

kwright817 says:

Better battery management.

Shifting between apps

coolbreeze says:

Better battery life on Android phones.

knahrvorn says:

With a Galaxy Nexus running latest latest Jelly Bean as a Christmas present to replace my old HTC Desire, all features I can really wish for is something additional to only apps to appear on Google Play here in Denmark.

con5150 says:

The further evolution of Google Now....

some_1 says:

Better battery life :)

AirPlay like feature for android with a new price friendly Nexus Q.

gfsockmonkey says:

have not been involved with android long enough to have any "wanted features" yet.
but here is my entry ;)

Mo007 says:

Hoping to get premium suite for sprint galaxy s3 sooner than later :)

Phillip Alpert says:

An end to Android fragmentation!

acWoodcarver says:

I would like to see more flexibility in the unlock screen. For example allow pattern unlock or face unlock at the same time.

mcgeorge36 says:

Looking forward to photosphere for my Galaxy Note 2!

Derek_B says:

I'll go with better battery life baked into the OS as well.

Moo Rider says:

I want it to walk my dog when it's below -10 Celcius

MathiasVerden says:

This is going to sound incredibly silly, but for some reason Google decided to stick a Google-search widget on the homescreen that you can't remove, and then supply you with a completely identical Google-search widget. Really??

fbsupastar73 says:

Better Battery life and and increase on what with we could do with nfc ( cars, computers, doors, etc.)

Floyd Scott says:

I'm looking forward to swiftkey flow

dalebert54 says:

Butter would be very nice. ANY new aspect of Android would be nice, as Moto left me out by dropping my planned and promised upgrade from Gingerbread!

A fully localized keyboard with extra buttons for the common german letters Ä,Ö,Ü and ß. And a flagship phone with a high built quality at a low price from my favorite company HTC.

BETTER BATTERY LIFE!!

I hope I actually get Jelly Bean on my Samsung Galaxy Reverb in 2013.

supermarkyo says:

Honestly I'd love a refined usb audio out for speaker docks and head units. I really feel like this is one of the only areas that android legitimately falls behind apple. I'd love a speaker dock I could control with NFC (like the nexus q), a remote and a dock, and also with bluetooth 3.0. Maybe a dock that would turn on and pair with my phone through an app. There's still a ton of android to love but unless Google can get it working across multiple devices uniformly, I feel like 3rd party options will never mature into the fantastic products they can be

GPS that doesn't drain the battery.

GyulusCs says:

A high end phone with approx. 3.7 inched screen... All high end phones are so big.

HellRa1SeR says:

Just like there was Project Butter for the Jellybean version of the android, I am hoping for the Project Battery(or something on those lines). I have moved from a Nokia device which was stellar in battery life performance. I hope to have an android device in 2013 which had awesome battery life.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Delete from notification

ejatds says:

Gmail sync with SMS/MMS! (just like calendar, contacts, bookmarks, etc)

sandyvern says:

I hope for a contacts app that is useable from one device to another. And maybe it is there already and I don't know about it...but I have too many devices (2 phones, xoom, nexus 7, kindle fire 7", kindle fire 8.9)and none of them have the same contacts on them...other than like FB.

Phoenix Rev says:

Key Lime Pie and vocal unlock recognition.

Freak.A.Droid says:

Direct gVoice Integration (Vs separate app) with MMS abilities included for all carriers!

Number 6 says:

I would love to see carriers and manufacturers offer the option for a vanilla Android experience so I wouldn't have to root to remove all of the bloatware. A gift card would be nice too.

piizzadude says:

The only thing I want to see is the return of the SDCARD or 128GB become the standard by years end for storage

dra_phantom says:

I hope they enable the miracast feature

john.. says:

I would like to see Google incorporate the Samsung trick of having two apps open at the same time and visible on the screen.

sammyjobandit says:

Would love to be able to apply different ring tones for different contacts and texts. Although this may be something that is already available on my Droid 4 and I have not found it.
