Anyone have any idea why some of the cover art for my music in google play music doesn't show up on my nexus 7 or gnex but it does when i have play music open in my laptops browser? I have OCD about having cover art for all my music and since it's not showing up it's driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.
Wondering what new features we'll see once Google official unveils the Nexus 5? Android Police has a hint: an overhauled, more comprehensive Hangouts app. A pair of leaked screenshots seem to deliver on a promise Google made back in May, and show evidence of an SMS integrated hangout app. An image of the app's conversation window shows that messages will be branded by their delivery method, including a "via SMS" tag next to the text's time stamp. It hints at a more unified communication platform for Android, but the settings page helpfully illustrates that using Hangouts for SMS is optional -- a check mark allows the feature to be cleanly disabled for those who prefer to keep their conversations segregated. Although these shots line up with previous rumors, Android Police can't say when the update might be available or if it will actually coincide with the release of KitKat or the Nexus 5. Either way, we're looking forward to finding out.

SMS/MMS coming to Hangouts
[COLOR=#red]Report suggests Nexus 5 will start at just $299 despite monster specs[/COLOR]
If the latest report about Google’s upcoming Nexus 5 hero phone ends up being accurate, there is really only one smartphone Android enthusiasts will be eying this holiday season. We already know just about everything there is to know about the Nexus 5 thanks to a recent service manual leak, but the phone’s price and release date remain mysteries. Where the price is concerned, however, a new rumor suggests that Google may achieve the unthinkable and match the entry-level pricing of last year’s Nexus smartphone.
According to a single unnamed source speaking with PhoneArena, Google’s upcoming Nexus 5 will start at just $299 without any subsidies. That’s right — though shaky at best, if this report pans out the new Nexus phone and its cutting-edge specs will cost the same amount off contract as some phones cost on contract.
The report says $299 will get you a 16GB Nexus 5 that’s powered by a 2,300 mAh battery. Curiously, the blog suggests that the $399 version of the next pure Google phone won’t just double the storage to 32GB, but will also increase the battery size to 3,000 mAh.
Recent leaks revealed that additional Nexus 5 specs include a 5-inch full HD 1080p display, a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 chipset, 2GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, support for inductive charging, NFC and Android 4.4 KitKat. Photos of the phone have leaked several times now, including once by Google, and a pair of Nexus 5 videos recently leaked as well.
The phone will reportedly be announced during a press conference later this month and it is expected to be released soon after.

Get the S4 . It is a big diffence over the s3. And $200 is too much for a s3 right nowI see a couple S3s on craigslist for around 200. I have a trip I'm taking overseas for a while later this year is it worth it to just cop the S3 and then wait for the S5 next summer or is the s4 really that big a difference?
SMS/MMS coming to Hangouts
I wonder if this means the merging of their GVoice app as well, or just Android's "iMessage" equivalent?
Either way, I am all for adding SMS/MMs to Hangouts. It will hurt and allow people to remove messaging, hadncent, textra, and whatever else people are using out there these days. I normally just hangout with all my friends anyways.I don't think so with this update, but eventually Hangouts will be a one-stop shop.

I wonder how Apple will treat Hangouts in the App Store with that update? I wonder if they would play the "too much like an Apple app" BS on them with that one?
Doubt it. For it to be a true iMessage equivalent, Google will have to grab their nuts and force all Android devices to use Hangouts as the messaging app, and/or force OEMS to integrate Hangouts into their messaging apps. This wont happen and this will just be another android feature that doesnt make it as far as it should sadly. To be honest most android users know nothing of Hangouts and have probably never even opened the app. The reason iMessage went over so well is because Apple integrated it seamlessly into their messaging app. Users didnt have to open/add a whole other app for the added features.SMS/MMS coming to Hangouts

To really advance the Android platform, Google needs to be less "open", sad to say.
