So I just picked up a LG HBS-700 Bluetooth headset and love it, but I've noticed that when I'm using it my WiFi performance is reduced to almost nothing. As soon as I turn it off, WiFi is great. I can replicate/recreate the problem every time.
Anyone know if there is a way to fix this, or is it that the N7 just can't do both at the same time?

WiFi and Bluetooth are using the same / similar frequencies, so it's obvious that there are interdependencies. You could try to change the channel of your WiFi to see whether it's becoming better.

Bluetooth and WiFi uses the same chip set to transfer data... So when you're using Bluetooth and WiFi a the same time there will be a kind of slowdown, even hiccups sometimes.... Hardware limitation...

Yikes...so when they developed the Nexus 7 it never occurred to them...even once...that without expandable storage we would likely need to rely on streaming, not to mention Netflix, I Heart Radio, Pandora, etc...and that we would probably want to use a Bluetooth headset? That's fricken horrible.

Any word on a fix for broken Bluetooth? I haven't had much time to look around to see if a fix has been post due to work but this constant disconnect between my phone and tablet is getting annoying now. I rely on Bluetooth for Tablet Talk.

Nothing that I have seen yet. My jambox is useless when WiFi is on with bluetooth. Constant stuttering.
New fix is supposed to be on the way. 4.2.2 has been released to some Google employees and is being tested for release to the public. Supposed to fix lag and BT.

I use Open Garden to Bluetooth tether to my Nexus 7 from Galaxy S3,generally its not too bad but sometimes the connection appears to either time out or just become weak where I have to restart the phone.
I realize this is most likely my carriers data but I'm wondering if there is an app like a Bluetooth tether booster or anything else I can install on my Nexus and/or my Galaxy S3 that might be beneficial.

Unfortunately, Bluetooth SPP (serial port profile) is pretty unstable. Without a constant keep-alive, it will time out, as you have noted.
The way I mitigate this is by having a constant ping stream in the background. You can find an app that will do constant pings in the Play Store.
Yeah I did notice that despite me setting Bluetooth timeout to never

I'm trying to listen to music over Bluetooth on my Jawbone era headset and everything seems like someone is playing the music faster than normal. Any ideas what is causing it?

I don't know what causes it but I simply disconnect my Bluetooth headset and reconnect. I do it as much time as possible until it doesn't happen again. It doesn't happen very often so that's good. Also you can try to unregister it from the phone and re-register the headset again. Maybe its a Bluetooth bug or something. It happens on my iPhone 4 as well.

Got it fixed. I think it was a kernel issue or something I added to the Rom.

So, when I turn on the bluetooth and connect it to anything, like headset or stereos, speakers, there is some wifi drops every 10 seconds or less which is so annoying, cant watch a youtube video or browse easy and everything is ruined, so how to fix that? And is that only me? Im rooting my phone next week, cause that was a replacement and on my old nexus 4 never used bluetooth after 7 months , so dunno if i had that on my old nexus 4 or not.

I have the same issue, when you use Bluetooth it interferes the 2.4GHz radio waves created via WiFi chip, 5GHz works fine on WiFi with Bluetooth on.

Sorry im not good at these hardware stuff, but how can i change it? Is it in the router settings or inside the phone, thanks!

Unfortunately that is where the problem comes in, I am not sure if it is hardware or software which is causing the issue.
If you want to keep connection on WiFi with Bluetooth then for now you have to use a Wireless Router which supports 5GHz (to enable support on Nexus 4 go to settings, WiFi, advanced and then Wi-Fi frequency band which will show up a list, choose "Auto" for 5GHz and 2.4GHz).

It's not fixed when I receive a call in my car the n4 drops wifi. And that was the main reason for getting a wifi router in my car. I'm on 4.3 My galaxy Nexus does not have that problem. This needs to be fixed soon.
I dunno, its fixed since i flashed the 4.3 paranoid android rom, and google support sent an email saying that its fixed in android 4.3 and they said that cause i called them several times because of that issue, Ive never had this issue on my gnex, but I had the gnex when it was on 4.1.2, i heard that its a bug in 4.2.

I plan on using my n7 as my home phone, i will also attach a speaker to it so that it is loud enough to be heard throughout my home.
I have a question to anyone that uses their n7 heavily throughout the day, have u run into any issues by leaving your n7 powered on for more than 6-8 hours? like i said i plan on using it as my home phone, and it will be powered on for a long period of time and, it will mostly be on stand by. screen off with wifi on and talkatone in the background awaiting any important phone calls.
any positive inputs would be appreciated
I leave my n7 on all the time with the Wi-Fi and GPS radios always on and have hardly any issues.
If l realize that I have not rebooted it in several days, I'll reboot it - though I honestly don't remember ever needing to reboot it other than when messing with the recovery, or installing a kernel.
While it's setting there with the screen off with Wi-Fi and GPS on it seems to only use 1 to maybe 2 percent of the battery per hour.

I use my nexus 7 8gb WiFi for a home phone. It's a great tablet for it. Makes for a great time killer when your waiting for a phone call. Lol
