Android Nextel's iDEN network may not be the most advanced one out there, but the Direct Connect feature that comes with their phones has been coveted for years. So much so that Sprint has held on to the network much longer than made sense....

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 TouchWiz UX Review

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

Harvie Galenzoga Boles the problem is within android OS architecture

Matthew Lee Swanson I'd like to see them give you more control over the arrangement of your home screen. For example, most phones have ginormous screens and eye-poppingly-high resolution--so why are we still stuck at 4x4 icon grid?! Like many 3rd party launchers, why can't stock Android allow you to change that and make use of your bigger screen with higher resolution? I'd also like to see more widgets for productivity included. Smoother animations. Increased battery life. Maybe a slightly better camera app on the stock interface.

Joseph James Gabo Retina controlled interface

Johnny Ezell Jr. Nooo man they are talking about Android 4.3 not TouchWiz. Pure Android does not have battery % in the status bar. My GS4 has it but my GNex didn't because it was "pure" Android. Unless I was running a custom rom.

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
