When your are going to improve usb audio handling? The problem is with external USB mics sometimes do not work and phones just use internal mic for video. We professionals need more audio related features like disable internal microphone and force using usb audio mic. More handling for audio sources to settings panel. A generic usb device support for android. Please refine whole android Audio settings to allow more user control of sources. Keep usb audio on while phone goes black. In simple allow user control input sources. You could have default audio input setting: Auto, usb mic, internal mic, external mic.

Have I missed it or there was no mention of UWB (IEEE 802.15.4a/z standard)? It gives potentially a relative position of up to 200 meters in a straight line, and it is power efficient. Currently only flagships have this e.g Samsung Ultra or Pixel Pro.

Excellent.

Add Internal recording when streaming live using game dashboard on TH-cam and make the screen resolution change universal just like adb shell wm size instead of a kernel for all devices that can list the recommended screen resolution starting from 720p and add a privacy feature that locks app and blur their recent menu and add a configuration that hides notch on all games as all devices have notch

Is it possible for Location provider to work if there is no network connectivity and Wi-Fi network available, by connecting with satellite or something for emergency situations?

[@NohusBluxome]

Yes that's already how it works, not just for emergencies. No network connectivity is necessary for location, but it speeds it up when it's there.
