This may be my one and only message I'll ever post --- I hope android developers listen
There are two issues I want to address
One is that it appears we have lost the concept of Phone in our (claimed) "advances" it takes multiple buttons to make a call -- It should be phone first - text second - email third - net fourth -- games/music and misc junk later - as it stands Android phones are a game toy (expensive) that also can emulate a phone
Two - having checked with various app developers it appears that they have no access to the contact list -- WHY NOT ? - this would allow so many other option ++ linking to our customer database to GPS to billing ++ alowing special ringer settings for groups so that realtives can ring 24/7 friends 6am - 9pm - customers 8am - 5pm or whatever three or four configurable settings we want and dozend other options
I am new to the Android world , having been dragged into it screaming and kicking and though I can see benefits I can find hundreds of shortcommings , some made up by apps - but the system creates limits on those - one I mentioned above & the other mentioned beyond any apps ability (phone first)
android (any smart phone system) needs to decide if they are a phone with functions or a game machine with phone abilities -- as a working man I need the first
