[Asus Transformer TF700] xcal321:
I think I confused you. Twonky is just that, it runs on your tablet so the TV (or any compatible media play device) can play/display the files you allow it to access. Twonky will turn your tablet into a media server.

I was only explaining that I have used it only once on my tablet. This was to watch a video that I had on my tablet on a TV via WiFi. So I was not using a HDMI cable to hook my tablet to the TV, which is something different. In addition I tried to explain that I use Twonky for the exact same purpose at home, just not on the tablet, but on a NAS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] indiscriminant:
I see apps for Twonky Mobile, Beam, Video, etc on there. Which one should I use to display these on my tablet in a playlist/slideshow. I will be attached via HDMI.
[Asus Transformer TF700] indiscriminant:
It doesnt seem to allow me to put both a video and a photo into the same play list... is that correct?
[Asus Transformer TF700] originalnabisco:
I think what the OP is looking for is a single application that can play both audio and video content within.

Try QuickPic, its a gallery application similar to the stock Gallery, but can play video as well (says standard video on the page).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder

If you want to create a 'playlist' of sorts, you could create a folder and put your files (pictures, video) inside of it. It should come up as a folder in QuickPic. I'm not sure about the ordering however, you'll have to play with that. Possibly alphabetical, or date modified.
[Asus Transformer TF700] danger-rat:
Take a look at BubbleUpnp.

It's a dlna app, and the paid version lets you set up your device as a renderer or a library. Set your phone as the server/library, set your TV as the renderer, et voila...

I've tried loads of options, and this is by far the most comprehensive.

You even have the option to subscribe to a cellular based protocol...

[Nexus 4 General] NexusDro:
Don't get me wrong. I am a huge Nexus fan and I'm going to upgrade my Gnex to the Nexus 4 as soon as it comes out. However, I can't help but think that the Nexus line is gradually following iPhone's design. Starting with the Nexus S, it lost the expandable storage option. Now comes the Nexus 4 and it doesn't have a removable battery. Both of these features were touted to be 2 of the major advantages Android, in general, had over the iPhone. With the glass back cover, the Nexus 4 now even shares more similarities with the iPhone.

Android supporters always argue that one of the reasons they chose Android is that they didn't want Apple to dictate what they can or cannot have on their phones. With the limited internal storage in the Nexus 4, some people explained that Google wanted us to use their cloud services. To me, IMO, this is like Google forcing us to do what they want us to do, by not giving us expandable storage.

I still like the Nexus line and fortunately there are many other good Android phones to choose from if the Nexus 4 doesn't suit some people. I just wanted to share a small gripe that I have with the Nexus line. I think it's pretty obvious that Google put these limitations on these Nexus phones because they didn't want to directly compete with their Android partners. Do you guys think we will ever see a "perfect" Nexus phone in the future?
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
I use Android because of the fantastic, open OS.

I don't care about removable batteries or SD cards.
[Nexus 4 General] compact_bijou:
Really, the N4 isn't out yet and there are muppets posting Apple posts in the nexus forum :rolleyes:

Get a grip ffs.
[Nexus 4 General] Brac20:
Google aren't forcing you to do anything. If 16GB is a deal breaker (and using a thumddrive with USB OTG isn't an option) Google know you have other options Galaxy S3, Note II, One X+, Xperia T, Optimus G, that will offer different storage and battery options, while still feeding into the Google ecosystem.

The philosophy behind the Nexus devices has changed this year. They used to be primarily developer devices, for this purpose it made perfect sense to have a microSD slot and removable battery. Google are now positioning the brand as a true competitor to iOS. The vast majority of consumers don't need a microSD slot or removable battery or huge amounts of storage. They have clearly made the decision that the design and price of the phone is more important than these features. It won't be right for some but I think for the vast majority of people it will be perfectly fine.
[Nexus 4 General] floepie:
Frankly, I think we could use a little more Apple-ness. Fewer devices, more consistency, direct to handset updates. And, the SD-card will be going the way of the dodo bird. I'm fine with what I see so that better and faster changes can be implemented and so that titles may eventually come Android's way before any other OS's way.
[Nexus 4 General] NexusDro:
I agree with you. The design and price of the phone are actually more important to me. That's why in my original post I said that I will get the Nexus 4 for sure. And again, like I said, there are so many other good options out there for everyone if the N4 is not right for them.

I'm not an Apple advocate and have never owned any Apple products. I don't even have iTunes or Quicktime installed on my computer. I just wanted to see what other people think about my observation. That's why I started the post during my little break from work. I tried to make my original post as objective as possible. Guess I failed. =\
[Nexus 4 General] qwahchees:
I think keeping removal batteries and sd cards would be awesome, and 32gbs would be lovely but that isn't budget.

Personally I'd toss another 50 for those features but that's me.
[Nexus 4 General] compact_bijou:
It's a thread about Apple in a Nexus forum :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Spitfire:
I think this is where google is going with the nexus devices. Something more streamlined and user-friendly for the masses. They have to make money too, and even though us phone nerds like to tinker away and have options, most people want something straightforward that "just works." Code will still be open sourced though and developers can have their fun with these devices. Also, don't forget that android has a ton of devices from other manufacturers with SD slots, removable battery, bigger screens... etc. There are a lot of android choices, but their flagship device is being made more for mass-marketing now.
[Nexus 4 General] Nospin:
1. Most new phones won't have a removable battery. Get over it.

2. Google has stated many times that they believe SD cards are unreliable and confusing for the end user. So they are trying to set an example and get rid of them. Now I agree they should offer 32GB versions to compensate.

So.... There's that.
[Nexus 4 General] huntedsoul12:
Not being rude but I use android because of its open software and customization that u cant have it on apple phone/pads.
[Nexus 4 General] hdsousa:
I do also prefer Android over iOS because of the open OS and to the fact we have a file system that enables us to have files and several apps accessing those files. I would prefer to have a removable battery and the option to have a SD card, and even FM radio and 32Gb ... but for the price of this device, and the features he gives, its a must for me!

I have a SGS with SD slot ... and i dont use it. I have a removable battery and i only remove it when applying custom ROMs (if needed) ... so if there is an option to go to recovery or do a force restart without removing the battery, for me ... its ok. regarding space, i am using the cloud for most of the space needed ... so, again ... Im ok!
[Nexus 4 General] earlyberd:
The lack of a removable battery is not a big deal to me. It's 2100mah, which is significantly more than the 1750mah given to the Galaxy Nexus, and it doesn't have to power a battery-destroying AMOLED screen. As far as removable storage, I've gotten by just fine on 16GB on my Galaxy Nexus, mostly because I rely on music streaming services and use my Nexus 7 for all of my games.

Google isn't removing hardware options because they hate their users, they're doing it because their R&D has shown that massive local storage and removable batteries are not as important to the majority of users, and they can drive down the device cost by omitting them. Personally I am annoyed by how the battery door of my Galaxy Nexus always creaks, so I'd probably prefer my next device to be a completely closed off design.

Don't forget that there exists a phone with relatively the same specs as the Nexus 4, but also offers removable storage and LTE, known as the Optimus G. Sure, the development community for it will be smaller, but that shouldn't matter if all you really care about is the hardware.
[Nexus 4 General] diptenkrom:
i agree with the concept that the OP put out there. people want options, and android gives them options as apple does not. a glass back is just bad design, yes it looks good, but it can break unnecessarily and cause problems that one should not have to deal with. people don't like having no options, and it is good that google, unlike apple, allows other device makers to use the android OS, and make it open source. that way you still do have an option, and my choice will be SGS3 because of google's decisions. (and i don't really want a device manufactured by LG, i was hoping asus would get into the phone side of nexus, or it would still be samsung)

that being said, i now have a galaxy s phone and an external battery charger, because i can switch batteries at any time and have a full charge without having to be tethered to a cable/cradle. i hate iOS with a passion. and i was very excited to see there was a new nexus device dropping. i can live without the sd slot option (although it is not my favorite thing, and would like expandability) but i will not buy a phone that doesn't allow me to change out batteries as i am accustomed. have had external chargers with my last 2 phones (about 5 years) and it is real handy to be able to swap and go.
[Nexus 4 General] warlock257:
I didn't care for the Google guys response to why it doesn't have an sd card slot. He said it was confusing for people to have 2 storage options, and they wouldn't be able to find their own pictures, etc. That seems like an Apple-y response to me, assuming people are idiots, and can't handle it, so they take away the option.

I've always loved Android because it can be easy to pick up for newbies, and can get quite advanced for techies. Don't take away our options Google. Give us the choice
[Nexus 4 General] theoneofgod:
Only one of the Nexus phones had a micro sd slot, so it's not like all of a sudden they decided "hey lets remove the sd slot to piss people off"

Its all about setting standards. Google give us what they believe is the true Android experience, and obviously that is without a micro sd card and hardware buttons.

They give us choices, by allowing micro sd support with the kernel/roms.
[Nexus 4 General] ctfrommn:
I think the actual reason is the dont want to pay the big M 15$ for licensing for using exfat on each device.
[Nexus 4 General] MarkGbe:
i second this.
[Nexus 4 General] windexh8er:
Agreed - so as long as the #fail within Apple stays at bay. The one thing I hope Google can accomplish that Apple has been complacent with regards to is the US carrier/lock-in model. I realize that the cellular industry in the US started out significantly different than in Europe, however we're at a point now where unlocked phones can generally be used across a couple of carriers. If Google can take advantage of splitting the subsidized costs out but keeping hardware costs for new smartphones lower I'm all in favor of that. I was pleasantly surprised to see the unlocked Nexus 4 at a reasonable price - we need more of this as I feel phone quality and features will vastly improve if consumers can, and will, have a better selection of phones more frequently (not being locked to a phone for ~2 years). Maybe this will signal to manufacturers to slow down a bit, improve build quality and focus in on what the customer wants and then they'll end up with the "next big thing" for a few months. It'd also be nice to know, going into buying a phone, what the support model is before you buy. So if the vendor puts out a, sort of, LTS (Long Term Support) guarantee for 2 years knowing darn well that getting out updates quickly is prudent.

Also I'm not sure why Apple is the only vendor to, basically, have complete control over their device's software - where it seems to be that Android is the second class citizen and gets held up by the carriers AND the manufacturers (almost conveniently so that the public can play the blame game). If Google can make progress on this fron then two :good:.
[Nexus 4 General] Snow_fox:
Removable battery and sd cards were two advantages... Let's see what we have left.

Swype

SwiftKey

New 4.2 stock keyboard with both.

CyanogenMod + roms.

Micro usb standard. (30$ adapter anyone?)

Multiple device/price selection

On nexus devices root is an ADB command.

Oh, we are arguably less fragmented than Apple. Don't believe me? Ask my mom how she likes siri on her iPhone 4, or my girlfriends grand father about siri on his ipad 2. Oh.... Wait they don't have it. Still haven't found any solid way to hack it on. Meanwhile my 2 year old captivate with Cm10 and Google now...

Oh yeah, nfc chips are totally not an advantage are they?

I'll give apple credit the battery and screen on the ipad 3 are amazing. Apple has even managed to impress me time to time. You can't however single out one or two minor advantages of a platform and act like it doesn't exist without them.
[Nexus 4 General] afrojoc:
I'm sure that's the main reason there were so many iPhone 5 purchasers. Apple wouldn't allow their older phones to get support so they feel like they HAD to get the iPhone 5 because their software was focefully outdated.
[Nexus 4 General] Panos_dm:
As long as there is the otg option I'm fine. I don't justify Google though. I would like a removable battery... Anyway, I have 13 days to decide if it will be Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 4. Although I'd like to see some reviews of the device first. Suppose it has a horrible battery life, or the glass is really fragile. We'll see...
[Nexus 4 General] theoneofgod:
Looks like the Nexus 4 battery is removable. The 2 screws at the bottom allow access to the battery. Finding a replacement is another story though.
[Nexus 4 General] OmgitzFire:
Not having a micro SD slot is simply a business strategy, if it had one then no one would buy the 16gb model because you can get micro SD cards for cheaper price .

I do agree that they should still have removable batteries and not use glass.

[Nexus 4 General] dknotty:
Actually, there is some truth in this. Development for Android is much harder than iOS, simply because of the huge plethora of devices out there with different form factors, screen sizes and hardware. This makes development unnecessarily difficult.

That having been said I don't buy Google's excuse that its technically difficult but think its because Google are trying to push cloud services and their equivalent of iTunes. That sucks and it is Applesque.
[Nexus 4 General] haloimplant:
Is it really unnecessary though? Apple's dedication to a very limited number of resolutions has left them with with silly things like a 163ppi tablet and a stretched phone with weird 1136x640 resolution in 2012. I think it only gets worse for them from here, yes dynamic scaling in Android is harder but it's a more viable long term strategy IMO.
[Nexus 4 General] Nospin:
"That sucks and is like every single company on the face of the Earth."

[Nexus 4 General] Slap-Yourself :):

Am I the only one who thinks that Android is the main reason for the technological advancement in phones? And that this is why so many [Android] phones shouldn't matter? The more manufacturers stepping in mean faster, beefier, more intelligent devices and a HUUUUGE array of possible choices with colors, sizes, flavors, etc.
[Nexus 4 General] respider:
that sounds like something apple would say... "not safe and user confusing"

[Nexus 4 General] Snow_fox:
Except, the part where they are trying to add multiple user support and sd cards would be all impossible to work around without serious security compromises.

I almost always say let people make their own choices but, they have a serious issue that has been thought out from an engineering point of view.
[Nexus 4 General] Zaslav:
I don't understand the whole problem with not having a removable SD card. As someone else previously mentioned this is the fourth iteration of this phone and it is the third to not have removable SD support. It hasn't been included in years and it will probably never be included again. Why? Because like Apple they want you to buy into the ecosystem.

As for the removable battery I think this was omitted because the new battery is a Li-Po battery and from what I've read it can be shaped differently because of the way it's manufactured, and isn't solid like a Li-Ion battery. Correct me if I'm wrong in this area I need to re-read about this whole battery tech and how it's different. Perhaps someone can shed more light on this?
[Nexus 4 General] BlueScreenJunky:
Hi,

Just wanted to say that I totally agree with OP : When The Nexus One was released (my favorite phone ever and my only Nexus phone, replaced by a SGS2) I thought it was great that it had a lot of things the iPhone and other phones lacked, including a trackball, notification LED, SDcard slot and removable battery.

ALL of these features were removed from the Nexus S ! And while some of them are back (notification LED) or not that useful now (trackball), I still think it's a shame the Nexus 4 doesn't have an SD card slot, especially since SD cards are so cheap : A 16GB micro SDHC costs about 10 euros, and Google wants us to pay 50 euros for 8 more GB... It does indeed sounds like the kind of marketting Apple does.

The phone is still REALLY cheap so it's no big deal and I'll probably get one, but I think it's really irritating to pay 50 euros for 8 GB when they could have just put an SD card slot and make everyone happy.
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Google does want us to use its ecosystem and I bet most of us are. Google profits from ads, and people who use its services. So I don't blame them for wanting people to cloud storage everything. A company has gotta earn its living, and they are not getting profits from selling the phones, tablets and the open source OS.

On the other hand, I have no problem with Apple's design philosophy. Looking at the iDevices, every one of them is beautifully designed. It the company, and their philosophy that I hate. So I don't disagree with OP, I just look at the problem from a different perspective.
[Nexus 4 General] tyraelasd:
Its very likely that google release a new N4 with 32gb storage in the near future. For me the SD card has never been a problem, with the 16gb that comes with my Gnex Ive got plenty of room for everything that I need. But I definitely agree with @BlueScreenJunky when saying that force us to pay 50USD for 8gb its a bit of a steal.

Talking about the battery, in this case I dont mind not having a removable battery considering that the one that comes stocks should do pretty well. Thats not the case with the Gnex in wich I had to buy the OEM 2000mA battery in order to achieve what I expected from the battery. So again not a big deal.

And for the introducion of the double gorilla glass protection, Im really happy with the new cover I think its damn sexy and it will give a premium look to the phone.

Cheers :)
[Nexus 4 General] jmquez:
Apple didnt invent their philosophy, they copied them from Dieter Rams. They are NOT "apple design philosophy"

Check out his 10 principles of design, seem familiar? https://www.vitsoe.com/gb/about/good-design

I am glad that Google has followed this principles with their Nexus4, I am sure many iphone users (like myself) will be attracted by it, and finally make Android attractive not just to Geeks(in a good way), but to designers too.
[Nexus 4 General] spinkick:
local storage is so 2010
[Nexus 4 General] Armilpp:
What I love about this N4 vs the Iphone is that, the N4 is saying, "Ok Apple..i see your 4inch screen and raise you .7 inches. Yes, we also have no removable battery, no external memory, but guess what, we have 2gb of ram, 1.5gh processor, quadcore, NFC, better quality build, and we're doing it at half your price." It's a b*tch slap to the face of the Iphone 5.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
just so that you know, if you put in a microsd card the manufacturer has to pay microsoft $15 licensing fees to use the exFat file system and you wonder why the 16gb is for $349
[Nexus 4 General] SIGUEL:
Thanks for posting it, people should read and look a little more before posting crap like “No SD bla bla”.

Google is just trying to get away from paying licensing fees and having their partners sued by every other patent/licensing troll company around the world.

That alone will push phone prices down.

[Nexus 4 General] NexusDro:
OP here. I want to reiterate that I only wanted to point out a few interesting things that I observed in the Nexus line. I bought the Nexus One the first few days it came out. The Nexus 4 actually still suits my needs. I have the GSM Galaxy Nexus and I still have 8 GB left in the storage. If an ideal phone for the general public is no SD card and no removable battery, I gotta say, Apple or Steve Jobs had had a pretty good insight of the smartphone market since iPhone 1.
