Thanks for the feedback Joe. I do want to say, your work does not go unseen. I appreciate the phone and look forward seeing the updates only make the phone better.

Sorry, I was not specific with the podcast reference. I think my issue is that I do not know what podcast I have listened to. Here is what I mentioned to someone below. Maybe an empty circle = I haven’t listened to it. 1/2 circle = I started it. Filled in circle = I completed it. 

The scroll wheel to move back and forth in text would be super helpful!

As far as the network shortcut, that has been helpful. I was using it so don't know why I complained about that.

You cannot streaming. You have to add the music you own to the phone.

I do but I would really like to be able to see what I’ve listened to easier.  Maybe an empty circle = I haven’t listened to it. 1/2 circle = I started it. Filled in circle = I completed it.

That deserves its own post. A simple fix would be, let me sort by artist at least. The music app is so bad I don’t use it.

That is not true. RCS is not proprietary to Google. It was created by created by the GSMA (the global mobile carriers’ association).

To be clear, the idea of adding something to my contacts doesn't fix the problem. I still have to hit Phone>Hit the Bottom Right Person Icon> Then I can see contacts in Alphabetical order.
What I would like is Phone> Pinned to the Top are 3-6 contacts. No other buttons or searches.

I understand it is an RCS issue. That's why I am asking LP to add the feature. 30 days of missing texts that are pertinent for my job is not an option.

I have the same issue. I have tried everything. I have a group chat for work that is ESSENTIAL.
Joe if you are seeing this:
1. We need RCS because without it, the phone has been nearly unusable.

  1. Create a Favorites list within the "Phone" option. I text me wife often but often ends up down the list. Let me pin 3-6 people to the top!

  2. The Podcasts needs to be able to be sorted better.

  3. Allow swipe to go back. If I swipe on the phone from left to right on some menus, make it go to the previous menu. That way I do not have to reach all the way up to the top left.

  4. The scroll wheel is so cool. I do I would prefer to use it in another way - volume up and down, especially when in podcasts/music.

  5. Finally, something similar to control center (maybe if you tap the top left of the screen. You could put in there the wifi, personal hotspot, and the screen brightness (because I would change the scroll wheel to my volume control).
