"What changes would you like to see Google include with Android 4.3?"

Anthony Bailey You must be on Android 2.1 because my Note II has battery % in the status bar, and so has every phone I've had in the last two years. :P

Anthony Bailey Android is moving too fast for how slow they are. It seems like we're always on one or two versions ahead of where MOST Android devices are. How many Android devices have yet to see 4.2.2 but now we're talking about 4.3??? That is the ONE area where CrApple continues to dominate Android. At least their devices are up-to-date in no time. Slow ass updates on Android frustrate the hell out of me.

Chris Brisson Better use of all those processor cores to address lag. And better integration of voice commands with common phone functions (to be a better assistant and not just a search bot).

Johnny Ezell Jr. Actual battery % in the status bar would be nice...

Kyle Cordiano I would like to see more extra features now like Samsung and HTC adds to their phones. Ex screen modes, more widgets, Google's own weather widget.. stuff like that.
