One of the best ways you can help us 20improve Android is to let us know about any problems you find with it.</p> 21<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> For security vulnerabilities, please use 22the AOSP bug tracker <a 23href="https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/entry?template=Security%20bug%20report">Security 24bug report</a> template. See <a 25href="{@docRoot}security/overview/updates-resources.html#report-issues">Reporting 26Security Issues</a> for additional details.</p> 27<p>Here's how to report <strong>non-security</strong> bugs:</p> 28<ul> 29<li> 30<p><a href="https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/advsearch">Search for 31your bug</a> to see if anyone has already reported it. Don't forget to 32search for all issues, not just open ones, as your issue might already 33have been reported and closed. To help you find the most popular results, 34sort the result by number of stars.</p> 35</li> 36<li> 37<p>If you find your issue and it's important to you, star it! That's how we know which bugs are most important to fix.</p> 38</li> 39<li> 40<p>If no one has reported your bug, file the bug. You can use one of these templates:</p> 41<ul> 42<li> 43<p><a href="https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/entry?template=User%20bug%20report">Bug in your Device</a> - 44use this if you are a user reporting a bug in a device you own</p> 45</li> 46<li> 47<p><a href="https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/entry?template=Developer%20bug%20report">Bug in the Software</a> - 48use this if you found a bug in the course of developing an app</p> 49</li> 50<li> 51<p><a href="https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/entry?template=Feature%20request">Feature Request</a> - 52use this for a feature you'd like to see in a future verison</p> 53</li> 54</ul> 55</li> 56</ul> 57<p>Keep in mind that an issue tracker is not a user support forum. It is a list 58of pending technical tasks, along with information relevant for those tasks, 59and information about progress on those tasks including which ones might 60get worked on in the short term.</p> 61<p>This issue tracker is narrowly focused on the Android Open Source Project. 62Issues with retail devices need to be reported through those devices' support 63channels, especially for devices other than Nexus. Issues with applications 64that aren't part of AOSP need to be reported with those applications' 65developers; that is also the case for Google applications.</p> 66<p>Please note that we can't guarantee that any particular bug can be fixed in 67any particular release. To see what happens to your bug once you report it, 68read <a href="life-of-a-bug.html">Life of a Bug</a>.</p> 69<p>In general, please put as much information in bugs as you can. Just a one liner 70telling us something isn't working is usually useless, and will probably be 71closed without any action. The more detail you provide, the more likely your 72issue is to be resolved.</p> 73
