I realize this is a older article and this may have been already mentioned (I admit I didnt read all 108 comments(, BUT I fixed my camera’s auto focus. Go into the “camera->settings->ISO” and change that from AUTO to 800. I assume that is supposed to be something like shutter speed??? Try that and I’m sure you will be much happier. Now if I can only fix the issue with lower light pics looking grainy ;)

1: Bluetooth enabled dialer/voice control is essential. My 4 year old WinMo phone does this with no problem.

2. Install apps to SD card and run them from there. Again my old WinMo phone does this automatically. Again essential as lack of this feature will severely limit the Market

3. Not so essential but again my WinMo phone does it blindfolded. Better calendar. The inability to view between adjacent days without having to go back into the main calendar is annoying.

4. Again not so essential but again my old WinMo phone had options to download extra software to enable non-latin based charactersets and the ability to switch direction for Arabic/Hebrew fonts. Plus have them available on the keyboard. I know you can download keyboards to support different languages but you have to root your phone to get the fonts! Unicode support should come as standard in the ROM.

desired feature/things that need to be fixed:

copy/paste that’s consistent across all apps. Not press and hold on one app, use the hard keyboard and press shift while trying to select text on another app. Being able to copy/paste is one of those REALLY needed features on a “smart” phone. Need to be able to copy more than a line or two, and even in some cases more than what is currently displayed on the screen.

ability to inline edit an email (forward or reply).

vpn (cisco support)

ability to sync or backup to either the sd card or pc…without having to purchase an app off the market. should be standard.

flash would be nice…would have been real nice yesterday

speaking of email, if I’m out of coverage or the server (imap) doesn’t respond I lose all my messages and have to hit “load more messages”. Never had that problem with Palm. Really annoying.

Perhaps I said it before, but y’all are saying “improve the Music Player” and “Music player could use an overhaul”. Maybe, but what it really needs is MP3 TAG recognition and INCLUDE GENRE (Who thought leaving Genre out was a good idea?). New news on the genre thing: in Google.com/p/android/ there was confirmation that the reason Genre is missing from ,the player is due to a typo in the code – basically Genre is THERE in code, but we can’t “see” it on the GUI. Seriously, the player “could” use an overhaul?

Sorry, I forgot this, and I don’t know how, its the biggest issue on my phone that started when I got 2.0.1. Every ten seconds in a call, and I counted exactly ten seconds, my phone beeps during a call. I called verizon and I resetted my phone like they said and the problem came back about 2 calls later. Its ridiculous and needs to be fixed. Also other people have the same problem

My droid runs on android 2.0.1 and there is a few bugs. If you have a lock screen, the dots are small and weird looking for a second or two, while rotating and sliding open the phone. Also, applications fail constantly, I find myself always force closing everything. Lastly, all of my icons disapear for a little bit off my home screen randomly. Overall my phone has been great to me though. P.S. I would love to see some better apps in the app store

Some choppyness when screen typing, sometimes. Media player needs visual effects and of course a facelift. Choppy home screens… sometimes. Overall, I’m pretty happy!!

full Activesync support that will allow me to connect to my corporate exchanger server. It would be nice to be able to install apps on the SD card.

Do you buy a phone to impress your friends or yourself?

What would be nice to see?

* a great copy/paste feature on any screen that encompasses text.
* Updateable Adobe FLASH
* the ability to sync w/ PC or Mac
* ability to rename wigits (to hide porn from kids).
* Gmail email push could use some
work. Being able to see what time a msg
was sent and received would also be
cool.
* of course more screens, Bluetooth TX,
etc…
Moto has the ability to make the Droid better than the competition, let’s see what you got! –great start so far though

We need a better looking music player already, come on Google! I saw a video of the new Gallery, and that looks awesome. Hopefully they’ll redo the music player too. Pinch zoom in maps and browser, we need that as well. The option to choose how many homescreens you want, 7 seems a bit much for Sense users. More 3D games! And the ability to upload videos to Facebook with the default Facebook app by Facebook.

On my Hero, I can dive in a calendar item but I can’t swipe to the previous or next day/event. I have to go back to the month view and select the other day I wish to see, now how crooked is that? Why isn’t it possible to browse to prev/next days from *within* the items (like on HTC Sense for Windows Mobile)?

Just please, let us install Apps on the SD Card! It is the ONLY thing I care about getting. Getting this would also help out on the stutter some people are getting.

Please, please, pleeeeeeeease!
