Our Google Play Gift Card giveaway continues today!

I have the LG Optimus G and really all I want is a stable CM10 build. The best would be AOSP roms directly from Google for multiple devices not just nexus devices but that's wishful thinking

better camera

Better battery life and a more focus on the android services like talk.

Not necessarily a software thing but would love to see a full non-bezeled screen.

Google Music in Canada!!!

A built-in call blocker would make me happy. I was spoiled by the one in CM7 and I don't care for the apps that are out there.

I'd like to see Google to keep expanding the capabilities of Google Now, more battery life improvements, and for Google to keep innovating with Android!

I think Multi window feature should be on a native android feature. And a bare bone ultra power saving phone only mood can be very useful as some times when battery s low you need only to make a call.
Putting a 2ndery e-ink display for that purpose is a great idea.

Android Central you can help start my new year off right

I don't really lust for a huge new feature. Besides some small improvements I don't care about big changes in Android. I would rather see reasonable LTE Data pricing. Here in Germany it is expensive like hell, paying 40€ for 200mb LTE is ridiculous.

I'd love to see the oem skins be optional. I love everything about my s3 except the lack of soft keys (I know iI can rom)

A new feature for 2013? Customizable Quick Settings. Seriously.

better battery life

an extended battery for my gnex!

Better battery first, and Key Lime Pie with AOKP on top!

Oops, double post.

I'd really like Google to include the ability to sync and backup app data for all the games and apps without the need to use 3rd party apps and rooting.

NFC Defibulator update. I want to save someone's life with my Note 2.

The ability of accessing other androids and see the same thing they are seeing with their permission, of course. For example, I am watching a movie on Netflix and my friend wants to watch it with me, I send him a permission that gives him access of my phone, and see what I am doing :)

Happy new year!!

For 2013 I'm hoping for better battery life, more apps to ported from the crApple store to the Play store, unlockable bootloaders, and the ability to push my apps to my sd card (currently rocking the gs3 on Sprint).

Hope I can win! I'd like to see the Samsung 'Smart Stay' or LG's 'Wise Screen' integrated into Android.

$100 nexus 4!

I'd like to see Google change their mind on calendar synch as well. Regardless, looking forward to whatever Android brings us in 2013!

Inductive charging with added functionality when devices are docked and flexible displays.

I'm hoping for Google Glasses and/or more useful Bluetooth peripherals.

Some OEM features like pop-out video & being able to draw overtop of the screen on Nexus devices

Better battery life and better controller support.

hmm, circle widgets for my razr maxx

Better battery life and continuity from manufacturers for updates. Oh, and of course winning something cool from Android Central in 2013!!

I'd like to see even more customization right out of the box (themes, etc.), and also better battery management with Google Now.

I would most like to see updates come directly from Google to my smartphone to receive them in a timely manner. Carrier bloatware, i mean features, could be designed as some type of add-on that would not necessarily be affected by the new OS.

Flexible screens, because Apple can't do it!

Hoping To see optical image stabilization on an Android phone

better working photosphere for my Sensation.

More app sales!

To get all of google/androids goodness here in the UK. Fed up with google play offers that look fantastic only to realise they are US only.

The ability to store apps/games on the SD card, that would be a novel idea. Card multitasking similar to the Nokia N9 would be sweet as well.

I'd love to see some kind of cloud data backup with Google Drive without the need for root

I am hoping for an upgrade to the nexus 7. Specifically, the ability to hook to hdtv like the kindle Fire.

Project Roadrunner!

Would love to see HTC allow for expandable memory again. I need that extra space.

Longer life batteries!!! And not just sticking fat batteries in phones either ;)

A personal teleporter would be awesome but I think that may be a few years down the road. Although I am sure that Apple has it already patented. Otherwise I am wanting some of these big breakthroughs in battery life to become reality in the marketplace.

I'd like to see less bloatware on phones, or a feature where you can actually delete them off the phone without having to root.

Much better nfc integration. card emulation and the like.

YES!!! #578 in the comments!

I would love to win a Gift Card! About a feature that i would like to see working on AOSP is Wifi-Direct. I can see that they started working on it because the option is present on Wifi Settings, but we cant still use it to share files, unless you download a 3rd party app. Another feature i would love to see is some enhancements to battery life.

I would love to see a local backup option.

I would love some useful ways to use NFC in 2013

I really want to try the Android 4.2 camera. I'd like an 4.2 update for my Note II.
Besides that, I'd also love some Tegra games to work on my Note II, like Horn, for example.

My top feature is make the damn Qi charging more compatible and universal. As of now, Qi standard is a joke.

hopefully and Update to Jelly bean 4.2 for my samsung galaxy s3 (sprint) by the end of 2013 at least

Proper group SMS/MMS would be nice

Better camera app.

Network domain support.
Proxy support by network being accessed with domain support.
Universal printing.
Full compatability between chrome desktop & android.
Delete key on keyboard as well as arrow keys.

Key Lime Pie, a battery that runs on cold fusion and an app that makes the phone hover six inches off my desk to prevent scratches

Better battery life and more Google Now cards

Photosphere and Android 4.2 for my Droid Razr Maxx HD.

count me in

For me it is for Google to fix the pics poor upgrade support and time line for updates for all phones. Starting with moto

Widespread usage of Google Wallet.

I think I want more butter, and more expanded google now spookiness :)

Photo sphere

As much as I hate to use a food related response after the disgustingly ENORMOUS amount of food I ate over the holiday, I must say that I am looking forward to some KEY LIME PIE goodness!! Thanks for the opportunity!

MHL enabled Nexus tablet or a universal nexus dock with hdmi out.

Streaming photos, video or the phone/tablet itself to an HDTV!

I'd love to see more focus on Google TV

I'm hoping for less bezels so we can keep the big screens on a smaller phone.

I want Matthias Duarte to bring more webOS goodness to Android. How about card-based multitasking? Swipe up, see all your cards with active tasks in them, stack the cards into groups of tasks, swipe the card away to close the task (way better than using a task killer app). This is the Android feature I want.

I'm hoping Google buys Rdio or Spotify or a similar type of service.

Looking forward to sgs 3 getting to 4.1.2 and release of sgs4

App backups without the need to have Titanium back up. That would sooooo come in handy.

Android instant messaging. Something like BBM.

My top wish for Android in 2013 is for OEMs to stop locking the bootloader (Hello LG, are you listening?)!

Also to Samsung, please leave the ugly S3 design behind in 2013; the curve, pebble color and physical button are so yesteryear.

I would love the ability to download beer on my Samsung Galaxy.
This could be monetized by allowing other beverages such as sodas and whiskey or a frosted glass to be made available as part of the Premium version.

The ability to transport Star Trek style!

I would love a NexusBook that would be a convertible touch laptop (with detachable screen and keyboard) that can dual-boot to Android and a touch-friendly version of Chrome OS.

I would like to see Google TV really done right in 2013, and packaged in a Blu-Ray player.

I'm not sure which feature I'm hoping for yet. I just got an Android tablet.

Reading a usb drive.

Stricter update regulations for manufacturers/carriers. Better battery life.

Hoping for improved voice control through google now.
As much as i love android, here's to hoping we see more about Glass during 2013!

I'm hoping for Google to improve the Location Aware Tasks (like turn on and off WIFI, bluetooth and NFC) and make it built-in to Android system instead of third party apps.

And can add one more? Please improve the camera for Android, at least make it as good as the iPhone.

I want better battery life and a friggin Amazon Prime app!!!!! Love my Nexus 7, this from a Mac guy.

I'm crossing my fingers that the manufactures will actually adhere to the update promise that they made a couple of years ago.

I'd love to get a version of JB on my phone that didn't have to be cobbled together by the hacking community.

I would like to be able to use my Hulu Plus account on my Google TV, oh and thanks for the gift card.

Would love to see more networking between devices.

How about a widget for Google Now. See the cards and flip through them...

I would love to see Google Wallet and Google Voice working in my country (Spain)

I'd love to see some more refining on Google Apps (such as play store, etc). They're getting better everyday but sometimes I feel something is still lacking. But, as much of a gimmick feature it is, I would love to see wireless charging go mainstream. (And what better way to help out by getting a free Nexus 4 from Android Central ;-) )

Full blown Jelly Bean on my bionic

I want a Nexus phone of my own in 2013! Waiting for an update for my Thunderbolt might kill me!

I would like to see better battery life and the multi-screen feature (from Note II) built into stock Android.

:D :D

It's kind of an utopic thing, but I would like to see update to Key Lime Pie for everyone, every models, every carriers, every countries! And the world would be a happy place! =D

mutiple user accounts on the phones

The Google X phone by Motorola... on Verizon.

Hope to see Jelly Bean someday on my phone, but it'll have to be a different phone. My Artix 2 will never see it.

Google Wallet working on HTC DNA

I am hoping to see a high end phone that isn't a phablet. I am frustrated with this trend of better = bigger... why not have a fully loaded 4.0" device? Now anything less than 4.5+" is relegated to the entry level bin. Well pshaw I say, pshaw.

I want for even more design consistency throughout the UI. ICS and JB have already been making great strides in this area.

Better full-screen capability for devices with on-screen buttons.

Nice post-Christmas gift

I'm hoping for better app syncing between android devices signed into the same Google account. Especially for games!

Let's go lady luck! I'd rather deal with you than Santa!

Hard to say with Android being so awesome already. I will say every time they add more cards to Google Now it gets more awesome, so hopefully we will see that expand even more in 2013.

Please Google– combine Android messaging, Google Voice, Google Talk, and G+ Messenger/hangouts into one single service/app. *I* know how/when to use each of these, but it confuses the heck out of the general public, which lessens their adaptation and effectiveness for everyone.

Better battery life

A bug-free Android 4.2.1 would be nice. Sooner rather than later, obviously.

More Google Now functionality

better battery life

an Actual Google Music software download comparable to WindowsMediaPlayer/iTunes to manage music instead of just being a library coupled with a beefed up Music app for my GNex that would allow for a full-fledged equalizer

A better LockScreen widget layout and functionality for Jelly Bean! I think that the idea has potential but it needs work! Also the Multi-users feature for tablets, i cant wait till it works 100%. I've heard it has a couple of bugs!

I'm completely down for a Nexus 4, but news of the next Nexus phone has me excited. :D

I'd like to see a more "google now" like integration to my phone. Google now relies on Google products. While that is great I do have other parts of my life I'd like to see correlated and put in front of me. Integration of other email sources and calendars would be great. If I get an email with a flight reservation to my work or yahoo accounts I'd like not to have to forward it to Gmail to get Google now to bring it up.

I get that it's called Google now and not yahoo now. But a more device integrated app would be sweet

UMA support would be great.

I know it's not going to happen, but I would love to see WebOS's nice card-based interface for controlling and switching between apps.

Also: if you're not going to support microSD cards, include more storage (16GB is unacceptable today, 32GB is just sufficient for today, 64GB would be preferred).

Multi-screen feature to Verizon Galaxy S3!

As a WebOS fan on too Android I would mind having a Card like feature to be able to switch quickly from one program to another with out errors or lag.

I'd love for Google to build in something where OEMs can install their Android experience along with Google's so that users can use what they want on their devices. Or a way that the OEMs could put their customized software in the Play store and make it available to users. I know this could cause confusion among some users but in the end I believe it's the correct way to please everyone. If a user is happy with the stock Google experience, then they have nothing else to do to their phone; but if they find it lacking in some respect, the OEMs would be able to provide an alternative experience that could enable more hand holding or something more pleasing to the eyes of those users. The Pantech Flex has a similar system in place with their "Easy Experience" which is an easy mode for people making the transition from feature phones to smartphones. This is built into the ROM and I'm sure they used customized versions of the standard phone apps but it could be changed to include Google's experience. I'm quite sure this is feasible. Android is about being open and empowering users to choose what they want. We have all the ability in the world to choose what hardware we want - screen size, physical keyboard, etc. - but the software experience is mandated to us by the carriers and OEMs.

The new key pie lime 5.0

To be able to tap at the nab bar to go to the top of any page.

I still think media is still one part where Android lags behind iOS. I would LOVE Google (or someone else) to come up with podcast syncing with at least a web client available.

Not quite for Android but definitely for Google in general it would be great if they released desktop clients for Google Music - mainly so I could use it full-time and download select playlists/artists like on Android.

4.2 on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus, better battery life and some kind of Airplay feature.
