Android development is done only by Google. When they're ready, they release a new version along with its source code.
Have you tried sending them a patch? They accept them. There are also a number of third-party Android distributions (CyanogenMod, etc.) that accept patches and do nightly releases. If there is a bug in Android, and it is "ruining your life", it's your fault for not fixing it.

Does the iPhone have a public bug database so we can search for issues?
Most of the time I have SMS disabled on my phone (except for Google Voice). If someone on T-mobile (my carrier) sends me an SMS, they will get an error message, but people on other networks have no way of knowing that the SMS failed. Fortunately, most of my friends know that I prefer IM and the incorrigible texters have my GV number, but on occasion someone will try to SMS my actual phone number.

I think that part of jrockway's point is that at least some of the people complaining on a bug tracker, have the skills to help.
It seemed more like he was trolling to me. Everyone who complained on this bug paid for Android as a commercial product. I may be a master Linux debugger, but I'm not about to debug every little appliance/automobile issue I have because there's a bug in it's embedded Linux subsystem. I never thought I'd see the day when people would use OSS as a defense for a commercial product not getting fixed. Especially when I su…
By the time it gets to this point; what's in AOSP and what's on your handset are only very distantly related.
On the other hand, if you are running AOSP on your phone, then you did that all by yourself after cloning it from their public git repository.
Remember, Google is not to blame for bugs in Android. Your carrier is. (And most of the time, they're the ones who break it. This case is probably something that can be solved by Google, but apparently the OEMs and carriers are not prioritizing it above adding NASCAR apps and changing all the colors. And that is who is getting your money.)
They should probably fix this. Last week, the girl I've been dating, who I'm incidentally crazy about, admitted via text she was in love with me... ... I never replied because I didn't get the message. She definitely felt awkward for a while when I saw her, wondering why I had chosen to just ignore that specific text.

The amazing part of this anecdote is that she didn't declare this to you in person.

I'm often amazed by how quickly things get messed up if a single message is dropped from a conversation. People really expect communication channels like these to never fail.
