Anyone know how to get the Bluetooth settings from android 4.1 put into android 4.2? I've seen people talking about stacks and what not but have no idea what they are talking about. It is actually an open issue in 4.2 that has been assigned. See thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not an audiophile but bluetooth sounds fine on my headphones. What problems are you having?

I am an audiophile and Bluetooth sounds fine.
In my car I have a Bose stereo. cymbal splashes, vocals, or anything high frequency sounds very tinny. or the best way to describe it would be like crinkling a potato chip bag during those high frequency parts. It isn't obnoxiously bad, but definitely bad enough to know something is not right. Didn't have problems on my galaxy nexus till it updated to 4.2, it sounded great. Then when nexus 4 came and I fired it up it thinking it would be better it sounded identical to the galaxy nexus post upgrade. The headphone jack sounds great though, it just seems to be affecting Bluetooth.

Bluetooth audio sounds fine to me as well. I'm using the LG HBS-700 A2DP headset.
I do find it to be less noticeable when using play music, or music on my phone. Still there, but not as bad. If I use slacker or Pandora, it's a train wreck. I know I'm not crazy cause I reverted my galaxy nexus back to 4.1.2 and it was fine again. I can use an aux cable but that defeats the purpose of having Bluetooth in my car. And I can't revert my nexus 4 to 4.1

I just purchased a new stereo for my car, a Sony mex-bt2800. I paired my phone to the deck no problem, but the audio stream seems to keep getting interupted for a second or two at random. Is anyone else having similar issues streaming to a2dp devices? I don't have any other a2dp devices to pair the phone to, so I don't know if it's a problem with the phone or the deck.
Edit: New problem, see my last post.
This happened to me before. For my phone it turned out to be a battery widget. Weird.
Edit: I have a similar setup. Sony MEX-3700U.

I've got no idea how to fix this issue, but yes, I get the same problem. I've noticed that A2DP sounds like garbage with this phone. My wife's Evo sound a lot better (though still not great). Just wanted to comment that you're certainly not alone with this problem. I've just learned to live with it until Samsung fixes the whole headphone out/bluetooth source issue.

My sound quality is great. I can't tell the difference between AUX and bluetooth on my sony.
For me the sound would jitter on both my car stereo and when using wired headphones.
Something is peggin the phone. I had to run logcat to find out what it was.

Mine sounds fine to my jabra extreme. I actually hook it up usb to my head unit and it sounds awesomer that way...yes that's right, awesomeR. You can't ask for great sound quality from a bt headset, kind of their major flaw.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The sound quality is actually pretty good, much better than I anticipated. I'm going to play around with it some more today and see if I can find a solution. It was skipping a lot, atleast 10 times in a 3 minute song. I'll run it through some tests and report back.
Thanks for your input guys! Much appreciated.
P.S.- dangdang, I'm loving the avatar!!! Disc golf rules lol!

Well... I think I figured it out. Lastnight, I had accidentally left wifi on when I left the house. Today it was off and not a single skip for the 1.5 hours I was driving. Awesome!

I guess that's a possibility. I leave my wifi on all the time, so that would explain it. I'll have to check it next time I head out somewhere. Thanks, man.
new problem
Now I can't get the AVRCP controls to work for the stock music player. Any suggestions?
I have the same unit... skips and volume work on pandora for me.
But I don't know what AVRCP stands for so I am not sure if that has anything to do with what you are attempting.

I believe you can thru Bluetooth or an aux jack.

Not unless the car stereo supports MTP. Most only support USB mass storage which is deprecated on many Android devices now.
A2DP or headphone jack work fine.

So there is no setting inside the andriod to make it compactable with the USB cable? Or is there a work around to make it possible without a aux or Bluetooth ?
Not possible at all. I work at a car stereo shop and not a single one I have tried works. Only solution is auxilary or Bluetooth if you want to spend the extra money... Definitely worth it if you ask me though

Ok thanks for that insight. Just want to clear one more thing on it. Is there any tweaks out there for rooted devices that would make this possible?

Does the aux deliver a better sound experience compared to Bluetooth?

As far as i know there is not... USB is a pain in the ass with android and car stereos anyways. It reads the entire SD card directory and makes it a pain in the ass to navigate through your music. Go for Bluetooth man

Bluetooth quality is purer because straight data.

This actually really dissapointed me, as it was one of my favourite use-cases for my phone, not having to maintain two (or more) seperate music collections - prevents the phenomenon of heading off on a planned highly enjoyable car trip with my current favourite music, only to find that I didn't move it onto the appropriate USB device.
My last phone was an HTC Sensation running a 4.1 JB ROM, I forget which exactly, it got changed a lot . Something minimal. Anyway...
I tried using the headphone jack out, into my car stereo aux in, and even when I upped the input source level in the stereo hardware, and cranked up the volume on the Nex4, it only got to about 60% of the volume I wanted. Bah. The Bluetooth adapter for the stereo is like $200 if it's even available anymore. Very lame.
I could get a headphone amp. Actually, that's probably the easiest thing to do for me. Off I go to the web store.
Ramble over. Oh, first post here. Hi y'all. (software dev)
Thanks for the much needed insight into this issue now. Right now I have to look for Bluetooth adapter. And I hope Google will fill this gap of charging and using the music player with the same single USB cable it would be a good thing to have too.
Hi all hope you all having a fantastic day with nexus 4

Bluetooth is convenient as there is no wire, but folks claiming Bluetooth has better audio quality than line out are incorrect (sorry). You will have much better audio quality with the line out, assuming your head unit's aux input has enough gain to get to levels you normally listen to.

Yea I was wondering about that for a while. Plus Bluetooth kills the battery faster.

My Sony WX-GT80UI says that it accepts MTP.. But when my Nexus 4 is connected, it says device not compatible. How is this? Do I need to have music files on root of card or what else could make a difference?
Guys, I had issues with the speaker volume, but they somehow fixed themselves. Yesterday I tried to listen to some music and my headphones were barely audible outdoors at full volume. I'm quite sure the headphones are fine, as they are rather loud when plugged into my wife's iPhone, but with Nexus 4 I get may be 1/3rd of their usual volume at 100% slider setting.
I tried to search on the forum and Google it, but could find a guide to fix this issue. Has anyone encountered and successfully fixed low 3.5mm jack volume?
I would appreciate your suggestions! Thanks!
Are you rooted?
If yes you can try an audio mod like xLouder or Viper4Android.
If not you can use poweramp to boost everything although it will probably sound like ****.

Thanks for your response!
I'm not rooted, running fully stock. I don't really need to boost *everything*, just the headphone output, it's the only thing that has low volume.
Hey guys. I have a nexus 7 32gb wifi. Have had it for a year and its been fine. I mainly use for music in my vehicle.
Recently certain sounds in songs I can't hear or it's very very low. I am using it through the headphone jack. When I unplug the headphone it sounds fine through the internal speaker.
I'm running pacman rom 4.2.2. I recently added the Beats mod to see if it would fix it by using a different equalizer. No such luck though. The equalizer works great though. Any ideas?

Is it me or does anyone notice that when connecting to Bluetooth the sound of music is really degraded. Does anyone know if there is some sort of fix for this. It kind of bugs me.

You could try viper4android, it helped out my bluetooth quality. It won't probably sound as good because BT compresses the music a second time vs the jack.

Different Bluetooth devices I think sound different.
For example, streaming to a pair of Plantronics BackBeat Bluetooth headsets sound not as good or as crisp as streaming to a Bose Mini Soundock.
OK, fine, one's a headset versus a speaker. But then I also have a WiRevo Bluetooth headset and the Plantronics sounds much better.
Having said all that, my $10 pair of wired Samsung headsets sound better than my Bluetooth headsets.
I would have to disagree. It seems no matter what I connect to I get the same sound. I find it weird cause my droid RAZR HD sounds so crisp but the g2 is so bad
