I am subscribed to a few Google group conversations about Bluetooth issues with the Nexus 4 and reading each complaint prompted me to ask. Does anybody out there with a Nexus 4 NOT have an issue with Bluetooth?
I am on my 2nd replacement Nexus from Google Play device support and a third is on the way. If this third device doesn't work, then I either can opt for a refund or wait for Android 4.3 to hopefully fix it, if the problem is software salvageable. So I'm just curious if anybody's N4 actually has no issue with Bluetooth and in what manner do you use Bluetooth and with what devices?

I got my N4 in the first batch from play store back in November
I have never had any issue with Bluetooth
Granted I don't use it often (once every couple weeks on average) but each time I have its never failed in any way.
I have used in my car for hands free and also to send pics to my GF's phone and a couple times to transfer files from my laptop
Started out stock and then last few months been on custom ROM's with no change
Day 1 N4 here too - never had bt problems. Pairs with my car, Motorola headset, and Moga Pro just fine. Fiancée's stock unrooted N4 pairs with her car and jawbone speakers fine. Hoping 4.3 brings LE bt support for my fitbit flex, but besides that haven't had to do anything but turn on bt and pair.
What problems are you having? Haven't heard of people really having issues...

To my knowledge from researching the problem myself people claim it's a hardware issue based on some of the responses they get back from google I guess? I knew right away it wasn't just me when someone else I know has a N4 as well and when I use my LG Tone with his while connected via WiFI it pulls a dubstep and drops.
Other than that it's the only issue I have with BT that I can replicate. Hands-free while connected via data works like it should.
No Bluetooth problem here.

Stock 4.2.2 doesn't work properly with my car (BMW E61 5-series). Basic phone works, but no contact sync due to bugs in the N4 bluetooth stack. Moved to CM10.1 which contains various fixes for this and it's worked perfectly since then.
Honest truth - if the first device didn't work and the second was the same, why on earth would you assume that this was a hardware problem and keep sending the phone back? Either request a refund, switch ROMs or put up with it!
Oh sure I guess I have heard people mention that... BT and both 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi coexist just fine on both N4s here. I just wish it could take advantage of my ac router.

No Issues
Bought my N4 a month ago and I have used Bluetooth hands-free headset, transferred files from my old phone and from my netbook without any problems. Haven't tried stereo audio, though.
Got my N4 in the second batch of those available and have no issues pairing with my vehicle. I don't use Bluetooth for anything else, though
Bluetooth generally works, it only screws up from time to time for things like pairing with a new device. It's been more or less this way since JB and generally if you have a regular bluetooth setup of headset, in-car radio etc, it 9/10 works just fine.
Introduce some complications and it does wonk out sometimes. I've had plenty of times where it wouldn't want to pair right to my laptop or desktop after I factory reset my device. Sometimes it just won't get picked up either when BT is on, visible and another device is looking for it.
I believe I remember reading that there was a legit explanation for this regarding drivers and or some security thing but it's been long enough that I don't remember what the details were or where I even read it on XDA. May have even been the GN forums.
I've seen the exact problem indicated by the video on CM 10.1. I just restarted, wiped dalvik and all was well again.
Other than that my BT has been perfect. I use it daily in my car for audio streaming and phone. At home I pair it to my PC for audio streaming and it works perfectly.

I actually haven't run into many issues with Bluetooth. I use it mainly with Jawbones Jambox and it pairs up just fine. I think it may have dropped connection a couple times but less than a handful. I do run into problems when I miss a call from someone though. The audio quits playback though the devices remain paired.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I guess I have issues. I leave BT on all the time and only randomly does it automatically connect when I get in my car. I generally have to go in to the BT settings and click the device to pair with. It identifies the device, but doesn't connect automatically.
On stock 4.2.2, I had issues with BT not connecting at all and it would get stuck in an on/off post ion (it would never fully turn off or turn on when I toggled the switch). I would have to reboot to get it to work. I have yet to see this happen on cm10.1, I just have the automatic connect issue with cm10.1

I usually have no issues pairing and using. But I definitely have these two issues:
1. BT won't turn on at all (like in the video).
2. I notice my phone hot and draining battery. I look at the BT indicator and it is blue indicating a connection but I'm not connected at all. I only use BT in the car and I'm nowhere near my car. Yet the indicator is blue and my phone is hot.
Either is resolved with a quick reboot. I'm not troubled by it but is annoying at times.
Hi fellow xda'ers
I got the 4.3 OTA today for my Nexus 4 and the problem of stuttering bluetooth audio persists for me.
This is in reference to the bug described here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39633
I also unpaired my phone and re-paired it but still facing the same problem.
So, just wanted to ask around...
1. Is anyone still facing this same bluetooth audio bug like me in Android 4.3?
2. Can anyone who had this bug in 4.2.2 confirm that it got resolved for them in Android 4.3?
Thanks..

I am using my phone with a Clarion car stereo.
The issue now is much rarer than it was before.
I guess I need to test it out for a few more days.
Thanks..
Worked fine for me in 4.2.2 .... now in 4.3 LOTS of stutter and occasional drops. Very annoying and probably related to the change of Bluetooth in 4.3 ... hope someone comes up with a fix, otherwise I'll need to go back to 4.2.2 as I use Bluetooth for music lots. Anyone that can help ... ??
I was excited to see that as soon as I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 my bluetooth streaming worked flawlessly in my car for a 2 hour drive into the mountains. However, a couple days later the stuttering came back, just as you described.
This was the one thing I was looking forward to for 4.3 but it looks like we've been let down.

Odd, I also have a Clarion stereo. I'll be curious to try it out in another car with a different brand of stereo to see if it may just be that our phones don't play well with Clarion...
I've never had issues...I have a Sony stereo and I also play in my buddies new toyota truck and plays fine. I would try on other devices..my guess would be your problem is with the stereo than the phone

I'm not really sure, what's happening.
I tried earlier on with Poweramp Player (third party app) and Google Play Music, I had stuttering in both the apps.
Then I decided to unpair the phone/stereo, change the phone name and then re-pair. Just wanted a fresh start..
After that, I had the stuttering problem whenever I used Poweramp player. The problem happens within 5-7 min. However, when I use Google Play Music, it seems to work fine. However, I haven't tested it for long. Maybe 1 hour max, so can't say if my hypothesis is correct but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. After 7 months with this phone, I really need to get Bluetooth working.

I'm in the same boat. But I really am wondering if looking at the software/apps used is the wrong method. I've been doing the same thing. Over the past 7 months I've tried various ROMs, kernels, radios etc. and nothing changes it. I've talked about it with various friends with Nexus 4's and none of them seem to have any issues.
At this point my money is on the Clarion stereo being the issue but I still have not tested the phone with another stereo. This weekend we are visiting my parents. I will try using the phone with the bluetooth on my Mom's 2013 4Runner and my Dad's 2010 F150 to see if I can replicate the problem. If it works with both their cars then I will be in the market for a new stereo. :laugh:

At the same time have you checked the reverse? Any other phones that work fine with your stereo?
I have and I can say all other phones have worked fine with my Clarion stereo.
If N4 continues to have problems with the Clarion stereo, it could be easier for me to sell the N4 and get another phone, unfortunately a non-Nexus one

It seems the problem is with our Clarion car stereo indeed. A lot of Clarion stereos have bluetooth issues:
http://www.fixya.com/support/t12082313-bluetooth_audio_streaming_breaks_up
http://community.crutchfield.com/car_audio_and_video/f/27/receivers/t/22006/clarion-cx501-bluetooth
Phones like iPhone 4, Lumia 920 and Moto Razr also seem to have these problems.
My stereo CX501 doesn't have any bluetooth firmware upgrade too. Though, they have provided some firmware update for some other stereos like NX501 and so on. So you should check out on their site for a firmware upgrade.
http://www.clarion.com/us/en/support/compatibility/bluetooth/index.html
I really think you're right. I tried streaming music through my girlfriend's car stereo last night and had absolutely no issues. I've also read the threads you linked to as well as a few others and the consensus is that Clarion keeps trying to pin the blame on the phones and not their receivers. Looks like it's time to change stereos...

You should at least check if there is a firmware upgrade available for you on Clarion's support site before spending on a new stereo.
Unfortunately, it's not available for my stereo CX501.
I have stuttering too on both my A2DP devices. Both are cheap: one is from DX, th eother is from a local 'dollar store' (where it was 10 euro or so).
The one from the dollar store seems to work fine after pairing, but not when connecting again.
The one from DX (z nice plug for the aux in of the car, with a mic and henadsfree speakers through the car audio) seems to stop stuttering after a few minutes. The audio level is a lot better with 4.3.
But no difference in stuttering beween 4.2.2 and 4.3.
Problems remain
I have found no improvement with my Nexus 7 with Android 4.3. I get stuttering every minute or so. I've done a bit of reading and found that Bluetooth is hellishly complex - and would be very difficult to debug. For instance to set up audio streaming, both devices need to agree on a codec to use. There is a default base level codec. As I have found that the issue is worse on some bluetooth receivers than others, I can only guess that the issue relates to Android's selection of a codec or other parameter on some devices. I certainly have no issue with any device streaming from my windows laptop (no matter how busy it is).
I have the exact same issues with bluetooth stuttering.
Using 4.2.2 PACman rom on my Note 2 with a Sony MW600 bluetooth adapter, the audio would switch off for a second every minute or so, whether using Google Play music or PowerAmp, but it seemed to happen less on the former.
Updating to 4.3 has made it worse, the audio now switches off for at least 5 seconds to the point where i have to check if the phone or app has crashed each time.
I never had an issue with the Revolution HD rom (I think its called?) but I believe that's mostly stock?
It kinda feels like the bluetooth can't handle the bandwidth depending on the size of the file. I think there's less stuttering on lower quality files - could just be in my head though.
I have a Galaxy S3 i747 running latest 4.3 CM10 rom. My audio stuttering actually got worse when upgrading from 4.2.2. Using platronics 903+ and a bluetooth stereo unit for my motorycle helmet.
Very disappointed. My work iPhone doesnt skip a beat.
I have this model: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...la-_-Diagnostic+&+Test+Tools-_-9SIA0WP08G3580
It paired with my Nexus 7 (2012) fine, but my new Nexus struggles to pair with it, and finally says it cannot communicate with it. Did they change the bluetooth stack? Is there a OBDII scanner that does pair?
Thanks.

I haven't had any issues with that unit on my n7, n7 2013, s3, or gnex.... What app are you using, I use torque. On a side note I just got the n7 2013 and I haven't let it update android yet so maybe its a 4.3 update thing.

Maybe it has to do with the Bluetooth Smart implementation (?). Just a shot in the dark - I need to study up on the topic.
My nexus 7 actually pulled down two updates and the reader no longer works. It has to be the smart/low power Bluetooth, or maybe a compatibility issue with Bluetooth 4.0. After all these are cheap Chinese knockoffs. I'll just use my old galaxy tab 2 7 to leave in the car. They are cheap enough now I may just install it in the car for good. I was flirting with the idea of replacing my old double din head unit with it and run the speakers off my amp anyway...but I digress....

My phone connected via bluetooth to my car no problems until yesterday. All of a sudden it stopped working, i noticed no other changes, so i proceeded to try to pair both from my phone end and the car, still wasnt working so i unpaired and removed the device from my car and phone and tried to repair, the car (2012 sonata) tells me to pair from the phone, and on the phone it cannot find the bluetooth of the car.
I was freaking out and thought it was the car, but i tried my tablet and laptop, andboth are able to pick them up, ive tried turning bluetooth on/off and restarting the entire phone,
Has anyone else experienced their bluetooth going out on the s5 yet?
and what do you think would help? factory reset, or manufacturers return for hardware error?

I've been experiencing some issues with my bluetooth in cars and with wireless headsets. it has annoyed me enough to search the forums today.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with MS530 wireless headset.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with 2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with 2011 Volvo S60 T6.
Issue with Pandora and bluetooth controls can pause, cannot resume play with Aftermarket Sony deck in my truck (don't have the model handy).
Built in player sometimes has the same issues, I see more issues when the phone is locked. Fingerprint scanner on.
Today bluetooth locked up totally and had to reboot the device. I did not power down my headset before I left range of my phone and came back and it would not re-connect. I unpaired and attempted to repair and it would not. rebooted powered everything off and repaired and it started working again.
Bluetooth has issues on the S5 phones in my opinion. My iphone 5 has no issues at all with everything. locked or not. Was thinking of rooting to see if I could fix some of these issues as I prefer Android as I like the apps better and the openness to get stuff done.

No, it's not a S5 issue, it's an Android issue and it's been continuous since the beginning. These problems have happened with my previous 3 phones too, so don't delude yourself into thinking these are specific to this phone. Or that they will be fixed for that matter...

I disagree.
Bluetooth has worked on all the android models I've had in the past.
Past Android phones:
HTC Hero - worked great, slow though
HTC EVO - worked great
LG Nexus 4 - worked great
Motorola Zoom - worked great
Samsung Moment - Slow but worked
Samsung Epic - worked great
Samsung S3 - worked great
But if you want to blame the OS go for it. I think your alone there. Its a software issue with Samsung crap in my opinion vs security and all the bells and whistles they are trying to use. I think Android has nothing to do with the issue at all.
I have a moto headset with my s5 and no problems. Had no problems with same one on my s4 either so I wouldn't blame all the phones. It's electronics. Things can go won key when you have a lot of parts. It's probably just that. It happens. Even on iPhone's.

I have problems too. Very odd tho. I can pair my phone and listen to my music just fine. However if I try to use my gps while the BT is connected, no audio will cone from the phone or the BT radio. But as soon as I turn off thr BT on my phone, I can hear my gps through my phone just fine.
I haven't done a factory reset yet, but I have cleared thr phone from my car and re-paired.....still nothing.
The even stranger thing....every one in a while it will work, 9 times out of 10 it won't work. It has worked 2 times since I bought the phone, April 25th.
Never had a problem like this before, with other phones.

As I reply to this one person said they have no problems, one said they have problems. I have had the same issues with syncing and playback on my 2 previous phones, neither of them the S5. There are idiosyncrasies that exist in the software (like any software ever) that just don't work sometimes. I don't know why we should think this phone would be any different.
I recently purchased the N6P to replace my dying N4. The transition from one device to the other has gone pretty well, except for one issue. My N6P is unable to find the bluetooth signal from my Ford Fusion. Upon turning on bluetooth and searching for devices, the N6P cannot find the Ford Sync signal. I've rebooted the phone many times, Ive tried it many times in safe mode with no success, Ive turned the Sync's bluetooth on and off numerous times, the phone is still unable to detect it. I have also tried deleting all the paired devices on the Sync settings and had no luck with the N6P working. Aside from a factory reset of the phone, what else can I do?
My N4 was able to connect to the Sync right up to when I stopped using it. My fiancee's Samsung Galaxy (something) can detect, connect, and function with the Sync's bluetooth. I am beginning to think its something with the N6P. Ive tried it on all three versions of the OS Ive had on the phone. The original OS version didn't work when I first powered up the N6P, the next version of the OS i updated to didn't work, and this morning the phone ran the latest update and the bluetooth doesnt work.
I'm at a loss, I'm ready to return this phone and go back to my dying N4.
Edit: I am currently running Android 6.0.1.
My wife's N5x has the same problem with our ford sync, I think its related to the bluetooth disconnection bug I've had since the may update.
You can still connect it by opening the bluetooth screen on your phone so that it is visible to other devices and in the sync setup tell sync to search for devices and select your nexus phone.
My wife and I both own Nexus 6p's. I just bought a brand new Ford F-150 and my wife has a 2014 Toyota mini van (forget the model name off the top of my head, but still a fairly new vehicle). Neither one of our Nexus 6p's will connect to with vehicle. Prior to our Nexus 6p's (which I really had to talk my wife in to getting a Nexus 6p) our LG G4 and Note 5 connected flawlessly. I even bought a Bluetooth thing that plugs in to my trucks aux and that works after turning the Bluetooth on and off a few times. Totally freaking unacceptable. We both have Nexus Protect on both devices, but don't think a new Nexus 6p will fix the issue. No problem at all with Google maps other than audio coming through my brand new trucks speakers. Smh. Both of our phones are not rooted or changed in anyway. Out of the box stock.

Confirm working in Nissan Frontier. Wonder why its certain auto manufacturers?
Works in 2014 Toyota Camry.
Mine works with zero problems in my '13 Fusion Ti. I also have a bluetooth adapter for torque plugged in with no hiccups. Is your sync software up to date?
Mine detects fine , but once connected I loose all system sound. i.e I can't hear map prompts anymore. Anyone knows a fix for this ?

I can verify that I have this experience as well in one of my cars with an aftermarket bluetooth Sony head unit (that supports A2DP streaming). Haven't checked in the Nissan yet (no A2DP), but I will tonight.
Bluetooth on this model sure has some "quirks".....
I have a 2015 fusion Ti & N6P I have had zero issues. however i will say my bluetooth connection is much more stable after updating SYNC to the latest version. Bit of a pain because you have to create a ford account to gain access to the instructions/files. but here is the URL to get you started: https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/how-tos/keep-your-sync-up-to-date.html
I also have a Ford Fusion 2015 and I have no problems connecting to SYNC. It also connects just fine with my wife's Ford Escape. Which month's build are you using? Is your radio up to date? I don't think I've ever updated the SYNC software in either vehicle so I'm not sure it's that. Make sure BT is on and you have the BT page in settings open so that both devices can see each other. Then go into the car's phone menu and add a device. That's how I did it. Make sure the vehicle is not moving or preferably in park. Good luck.
It magically connected right after I posted above. Now I'm afraid to install the June security patch lol. Working flawlessly in my F-150 though.
