Hi,
My samsung provided headphone controls are not working. But I can use it as a headphone, thats about it. Is there a way I can debug if its s/w or h/w problem.
I tried an N8 headset and that didnt work either, but I was not sure if it supposed to or not.
i had same probs with bt headsets and the problem was the stock music apk. installed winamp and everything works. try

It is not just with music. Mic does not work as well, so can't use the headset for voice calls

I had the same problem with the Mic on my Samsung headset. Earphones worked fine, but the Mic sounded like there was a short in the wire. I know it sucks, but just bite the bullet and buy a new pair.

I guess I have to buy another set. disappointing to see such low quality standards from Samsung.
Any recommendations for headsets which work well with Android?

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?
I have a plan to buy new pair earphone with mic.But I'm not sure about the nexus can work compatible with earphones with mic. Now I consider to get nuforce ne 700m or beyerdynamic mmx 101 ie which I'm not sure it can wok with nexus 4. Who have ever used these for nexus4? If not, can you recommend the earphones with mic work perfectly with nexus 4.
Best regard
Sorry for bad english

Why don't you try them first and let us know?
The only earphones with mic I've tried were the Samsung ones that came with my note 2 and s3, the mic works. The one which came with one x also works so i guess any headphone with a mic might work too (not sure though, okay?)

can anyone answer me?
You can use the mic but controlling volume cant be control,i tried it!
Ok so I've got a pair of Dre Beats Solo headphones with the monster control talk (hands free kit) cable.
Hands free mic and play/pause switch work fine with HTC phones, but on my Nexus 4 I get no response. I can't answer calls through the cable buttons either. If I do manually answer a phone call with them connected, I can hear the call through the headphones but I cannot reply through the mic in the cable, nor the mic in the phone so I have to disconnect. Anyone had this issue or knows how to resolve it?
Maybe my phones headphone socket/hands free mic connection is faulty? I doubt this because I tried them through my sisters Nexus 5 and had the same outcome.
Please let me know guys. Cheers.

Take them in to where you got them maybe they could help? On my Beats Tour headphones w/ Monster switch thing play and pause work. I don't use calling often though so I can't test that..
The Nexus 4 lacks the hardware for your hands free control. HTC and Apple products have the hardware, mostly because they have somewhat of a partnership with beats (as does HP).

Hmmm yeah I guess it is the hardware. How lame! So if I want to use a wired hands free kit I'll have to get the official nexus one, or even break the bank and get a Bluetooth one? I think I'll carry on living with the minor inconvenience lol, unless anyone could point me to an awesome product that would solve my issue?
Thanks for your replies guys.
