Question If you could remove ONE thing you hate the most about Android phones, what would it be?

I know Android phones are packed with features, but nothing is perfect. For some people it’s the bloatware, for others it’s slow updates, heating, or battery drain. Everyone has at least one thing that annoys them.

So if you had the power to remove just one issue forever, what would it be? I’d love to hear your thoughts and see what most people agree on.

I don't think I need to remove anything but I would really like to see SD cards added back in the mix.

I totally agree with that. Having an SD card slot made life so much easier, especially for storing photos, videos, or just quickly moving files around. Cloud storage is fine, but it doesn’t really replace the convenience of a simple SD card.

As well as an SD card slot I would formerly have also said a headphone socket. But that was because on old phone using Bluetooth was a real battery killer. Not a problem with my current phone and I now prefer the faff-free wireless headphones/earbuds though I still carry a USB adapter in my key pouch along with some wired earbuds as a backup in case I run out of battery on the wireless headphones.

But that does prompt me to suggest that one biggy Android could improve on is giving the user greater/finer control over which Bluetooth device is connected to which phone or tablet and not just allow a device to grab the connection willy-nilly. I have to be careful with just my phone and tablet with a house full of Bluetooth radios/speakers. Goodness knows how a family all with their own phones battle with each other for connection to the living room speaker etc. I struggle at work with a yard full of vans and drivers which all want to be connected to each other at some time or another. I have to un-pair all but the van I am using that day and have to keep killing connections from other drivers until I get out of the yard and away on my own.
