You can help improve Android by 25 reporting issues and feature requests in the 26 <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=190923">Android Issue 27 Tracker</a>. The Android Issue Tracker contains a list of pending technical 28 tasks across a variety of topics, information relevant to those tasks, and 29 information about progress on those tasks, including which ones might get worked 30 on in the short term. 31 </p> 32 <p class="note">For more information about why we switched to Issue Tracker, see <a 33 href="http://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/04/a-new-issue-tracker-for-our-aosp.html">this 34 blog post</a>.</p> 35 <p> 36 Issue Tracker is not a customer support forum. For support information, see the 37 <a href="https://support.google.com/nexus">Nexus</a> and 38 <a href="https://support.google.com/pixelphone">Pixel</a> help centers. Support for 39 other devices is provided by the device manufacturers or by the carriers selling 40 those devices. 41 </p> 42 <p> 43 Support for Google applications is through 44 <a href="http://support.google.com/">Google's support site</a>. Support for 45 third-party applications is provided by the application's developer, e.g. 46 through the contact information provided on Google Play. For a list of more 47 Android support resources, see our <a href="/source/community">Community page</a>. 48 </p> 49 <p> 50 There are no guarantees that any particular bug can be fixed in any particular 51 release. To see what happens to your bug once you report it, read 52 <a href="/source/life-of-a-bug.html">Life of a Bug</a>. 53 </p> 54 <h2 id="filing-a-bug">Filing a bug</h2> 55 <ol> 56 <li><a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:190923%2B">Search 57 for your bug</a> to see if anyone has already reported it. Don't forget to 58 search for all issues, not just open ones, as your issue might already have been 59 reported and closed. To help you find the most popular results, sort the result 60 by number of stars.</li> 61 <li>If you find your issue and it's important to you, 62 <a href="https://developers.google.com/issue-tracker/guides/subscribe#starring_an_issue">star 63 it</a>! The number of 64 stars on a bug helps us know which bugs are most important to fix.</li> 65 <li>If no one has reported your bug, file the bug. First, 66 <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/components">browse for the correct 67 component</a>, such as <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:192705">Framework</a> 68 or <a href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:192634">Networking</a>, 69 and fill out the provided template. Or select the desired bug queue from the 70 tables below. 71 <p class="key-point"> 72 <strong>Tip</strong>: Some components contain sub-components, like <strong>Network > 73 Messaging</strong> and <strong>Framework > Storage</strong>. 74 </p> 75 </li> 76 <li>Include as much information in bugs as you can, following the instructions 77 for the bug queue you're targeting. A bug that simply says something isn't 78 working doesn't help much, and will probably be closed without any action. The 79 amount of detail you provide, such as log files, repro steps, and even a patch 80 set, helps us address your issue.</li> 81 </ol> 82 <h2 id="bug-queues">Bug queues</h2> 83 <p> 84 The Android Issue Tracker has a variety of sub-components in a number of 85 categories related to Android. There are subcomponents for security, the 86 platform, Android Developer Tools, documentation, and more. 87 </p> 88 89 <h3 id="security">Security</h3> 90 <p> 91 If you find an issue that impacts the security of Android or components in Nexus 92 or Pixel devices, follow the instructions 93 <a href="/security/overview/updates-resources#report-issues">here</a>. 94 Additionally, security bugs are eligible for the 95 <a href="https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/android-rewards/">Android 96 Security Vulnerability Rewards Program</a>. 97 </p> 98 <p> 99 Because of the sensitive nature of security bugs, you won't be able to browse 100 open issues, only closed issues or issues that have been made public. 101 </p> 102 103 104 <table> 105 <tr> 106 <th>Browse bugs</th> 107 <th>Details</th>
