As I await the arrival of my Nexus 6p a thought occurred to me. Is it possible to view an iCloud shared photo stream with a nexus device? I did a search and found workarounds for much of the iCloud functionality but not the photo sharing. Anybody have any ideas on this?

Appreciate the folks who looked. Sounds like nobody has figured out a workaround just yet. I will keep my eyes open for it. Love the new phone BTW.

As with most things apple, short answer is no.
Not sure if theres a web link which allows you to view images.
Another option would be to remote onto your home PC / Laptop and view from there, Apple will never release anything like that for Android or allow it to happen, it'd ruin their overwhelmingly tight eco system.
Potentially it's possible but i've never heard of a way to do it, maybe it might be an idea to get rid of Apple before it becomes to big of a thing to lose, then they have you.

Hi Nexus S owners,
Here's a video tutorial that describes how to send files and apps using NFC, this is the most easy way to send files between phones, all you need to to is just simply tap twp phones together.
The app we used to do this job is an amazing one called File Expert ( https://market.android.com/details?id=xcxin.filexpert ) This is the first app on the market that supports transfer files using NFC.
For someone may ask how File Expert does this job. OK, let's under the hood, technically speaking, File Expert will use NFC to auto-configure a Bluetooth connection between phones. Because all configuration data is sent by NFC, so there's NO device searching and pairing process required!!
Please see video here:
Thank you

I know that feeling. I haven't seen one Nexus S ever besides mine.
Hell, I've never ever seen a Nexus One outside of the Internet.

So I found this app called tablet talk which is supposed to sync your phone to your tablet via WiFi and it uses your mobile phone number, so you can send text messages and see missed calls, etc. from your tablet..... has anyone used this app, or maybe something similar? If so, how does it work? Is it worth the money? If this is something that works flawlessly, then I can see it is a must-have for a user like me who would love to be able to receive and send text messages from my tablet. Just wanted some opinions on this app, or something similar. So far this is the only app that I have found that can do this.

Brilliant app, I used it all the time before I sent my nexus back. It connects via Bluetooth or wifi, but i always used bluetooth, it was easier to connect. Text messages show up just like they do on your phone, definitely work the money
Just use the free 15 quid credit that came with your nexus.

Yep. Love this app as well. Great for in car as well. Now I don't have to have both my tab and my phone mounted to my windshield. Just my tab and tablet talk....text messages and answering calls (Bluetooth headset of course)

Using it as well, very handy app. Between that and Groove IP, I generally don't mess with my phone when I'm at home.
Just as everybody else has said, it is worth the purchase. I usually throw my phone in my room and carry the N7 around with me when I'm home so it's nice getting texts and calls sent to the N7 that would have been missed.
Funny seeing this post, cause not to long ago i posted looking for an app like this and someone referred it to me....LOVE this App and use it everyday....you can also accept calls if you have a bluetooth headset paired....its awesome and would refer it to anyone looking to basically use theyre phone features on theyre tablet....

Thank you everyone for the replies. I did end up purchasing this app today and have used it quite a bit just for texting so far. Don't own a Bluetooth headset so I probably won't use it for calls, but its definitely convenient to not have to have both my phone and the tablet next to me npw,. I love being able to received my text messages on my tablet. Showed it to a friend and they really want it now too, but the problem is they have an iPad and a Samsung s3, so I don't know if there is an app that is cross-compatible. If anyone knows of one I'm sure they would appreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks again everyone

You done need to use a Bluetooth headset unless you are in public. Otherwise you can just put it on speaker phone.

I have been searching the web over to find anybody who has even attempted to mod e3d420vx vizio yahoo connect tv. Yahoos site only gives access via their app platform, no direct access. Im attempting to use it for something completely unrelated to tv watching and need to load some software, but nothing is popping up in google. Any help would be amazing. Thx

I think you barely could do it.
Possibly it will be high risk if you attempt to do it.
Barely?...
Has anybody else come across any info on this? I have access to wholesale units and I'm attempting a project that I need to load some simple software. Tearing it down is no issue.
If no one has, guess I'll attempt to figure it out. Thanks ahead of time.

I love my motox but one of the features I miss about my S3/Note2 was the gallery feature where you could create folders and move pics around within the gallery app. It was so convenient!
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
check out a different gallery app like quick pic!
Or a file manager like ES File Explorer
Parker, I know but I don't like downloading apps for existing functionally I find it redundant.
This should be functionality built into android
Solutions, I have been using a filer Explorer but it's cumbersome. Samsung's solution was so elegant

That's kind of the point of Android in general and Moto X in particular. It doesn't have all the extra crap that bloats the Samsung devices. If you want a feature, download an app. Simple.

All that bloat on touchwiz and others like it....is used by some, but just bloat to others. I much prefer adding the apps I want....versus having to debloat all the stuff I don't want. ?
Thats just me.

IMO, that type of functionality should be in the stock gallery app...
Let me add.....if you aren't rooted....bloat can be a nightmare. At least on a vanilla android system....there's very little to debloat, so not having root isn't as dire. ?

I would argue that if you want to create directories and move files around, a file manager is the tool of choice, just as it is on a pc. Putting that functionality into every app that accesses files is redundant and unnecessary.
Yea that's always been kind of weird that you can't do that. I recently started using Dropbox to save all my photos which is nice. You can create folders on there to keep them organized! Also, you'll get extra space (500Mb) to store photos once you activate the auto-upload thing.
The WORST thing is picture messages from iPhone users. They all come to me in the STUPID slideshow format that sucks. You can't even zoom in on the pictures and I've noticed in particular with the Moto X that the play/pause buttons disappear. So now I have to wait the 15-20 seconds for the next slide to look at the pic. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? Other than the obvious of installing a different SMS/MMS app or using Hangouts? I prefer the stock application and this is the only gripe I have with it.

problem is, your thinking like a software engineer, not an end user I want to be able to move my pictures around from where I look at them, not have to go into some other app, do it there and then go back and check it all out from the gallery app.

What I do is long press on those messages and say Save Attachments. That way they just go to your downloads folder and you can view them at full size and at your leisure.

I am thinking like a computer user, who has used Finder (Mac), Explorer (Win), and File Browser (Linux) to manipulate files, and prefer one interface for it.
For me, the most compelling reason for Android IS user access to the file system. If you want all file management from within the apps that access those files, you're a prime candidate for iOS.
Not trying to be snarky about this, I simply prefer to use file management tools for file management, rather than seeing numerous interfaces from numerous apps, and the additional overhead they require.
This app helps, still not as elegant as the touchwiz version but it's OK

I was going to get the gs5 today but driving home from a place I didn't know saying "OK Google, navigate me home." Made me think twice about getting it. I use these features way too often to not have it on a device anymore. Sure I could of looked it up but that takes me waking and unlocking the phone then putting the address in, which I know it seems that I'm being lazy but these features help out a lot!

It may be built into Android in the future if users want it, but for the most part, core Android apps provide basic functionality. Manufacturers build on AOSP with their own software tweaks or go closed source with a specific software suite (most of Samsung's S-apps are redundant when Google offers the same apps).
This is kind of analogous to editing with MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop. You can do it in both, but one obviously has more features.

On the GS5, you'd just go into Google Now and say the same thing. It's definitely more convenient with Touchless Control though.

There's nothing about the S5 (although the paying with PayPal with your fingerprint is handy) that is appealing enough to make me leave my motox. I've said, I'll never own another phone that doesn't have touchless control.

Hello,
I got a Nexus 10 for my mom after her PC broke down. Since we are seperated by many kilometers and she has trouble to follow instruction how to fix / to do stuff on the phone I want some visual and input control.
Actually I need an app that allows me to control her tablet from long distance. I check Teamviewer Quicksupport but there you can only do screenshots, there is no full life control for the nexus 10 in Teamviewer as far as I have understood. Can anyone please recommend something? I wanted to ship the tablet on monday, so fast help is appreciated in advance.
btw. I dont care if I control the tablet from my windows pc or my nexus 4 android phone. I just need a solution. :/
Hmm, I can't seem to find an app for that either. Rare occasion I guess. What you could do is program Tasker to do a service like that for you... you'll need her tablet to be rooted. You'll need root no matter the solution.
If you don't know about Tasker it's a really nice app for developers/techy people to automate/add tweaks/features on your phone. This will be a really advanced implementation though. It's surely possible and it'd be easier for me to develop it for you than to explain it. You'll need your own web domain though. I mean one that you have for yourself, where you could place a php script.
Hopefully that helps or gives some insight at least, if you need my help I could develop that setup for you. You'll need to root her tablet yourself tho.

Say thanks if I was of help,

So there exists really no solution for that issue?
Have not tried it on a nexus 10 but I can fully remote control my note 3 using Teamviewer.

Root her Nexus and install a VNC server app. VNC Server by onecent in the Play Store worked for me (sorry can't link, too new). Then just use a client on either your phone or computer to connect. You will probably need to set up port forwarding on her router to connect remotely. Hopefully you're not too far since you'll likely have to visit her to get that and rooting done. Good luck.
