Is it just me or is there an issue with many headphones not fitting the nexus 4?
Can't get my sound magics to fit or an audio out cable to link but to my Bose airplay.
They don't seem to be able to push right in and these are just standard 3.5 plugs
Anyone else had this ?

I had to send my first n4 back because it wouldn't hold a 3.5mm audio jack. The plug would just pop out. Ended up waiting a month to get my new n4.

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?
When I'm using my N7 to play music I get a lot of white noise in the background. It's barely noticeable in loud songs but when listening to a quite song or nothing with the headphones plugged in it is extremely noticeable. Does anyone else have this problem and has anyone been able to fix it?
What headphone you use? My nexus is also make noise with my sensitive iem (cx300 II).

I notice it with both my Klipsch Image S-4's and my Bose Quietcomfort 3's. The Bose are noticeably worse, probably because you cant hear anything else.
Unplug the charger? I have the same problem but it's only there when I have my N7 plugged in.

I'm with clintvl. I have the same issue only while its plugged in.

Mine is with or without it plugged in. That makes sense though, with a car charger the noise gets really bad.

AW: Lots Of Headphone Noise
I've got the same problem. No matter what headphones i use or whether it is plugged in or not, the background noise is there and very annoying..
Is it possible to have audio output via the USB? If so what do I need?
I am looking to buy a dock and the dock will block the Aux jack, so I need to get audio to play via the USB. Its for my car stereo and I have aux inputs or audio inputs (the red and white cables) as options.

i tried conning my headphones to the phone but it cant fully connect.
i tried different sizes of headphone jacks but all of them cant connect
any ideas why?
What do you mean by "Not fully connect" ?
The Nexus 4 packs a 3.5mm headset jack, so basically every headphone with an 3.5mm jack should fit.

what i mean is that when you connect a 3.5mm jack there is a click at the end when its fully connect in my case its not fully connecting
Can you try to connect the headphones to another audio source (eg. your computer) and see if it connects to it?
If not, the problem is your headset.
If it does, your audio jack in your Nexus 4 is somehow messed up.

the headphones work with another phone so i guss its a problem with the dvice
Do you have any other headsets which have a 3.5mm jack?
If you have, try them. If all of the dont fit, your 3.5mm port is broken
You could try to RMA it, or replace the part yourself.

I had this problem on the lg g2x. They were a crappy headset, but did work on other devices. Maybe try another (better?) Pair?

You need to push a hit harder right st the end, it's a tight fit.

Had the same problem. There could be some fluff in the headphone jack. Take a needle and try to remove it carefully..

Hi guys
For some reason recently when I plug in my headphones I only get sound from one side.
Can anyone guide me on this? Most likely a hardware problem I know.
Does anyone know if I have to get a new jack port, where I could get one from?

Actually, this has happened to me quite a few times. I found it to be a problem with the headphones/earbuds instead of faulty hardware. First, my left audio would disappear, and about a month later, the right audio would follow suit. I believe it's just a problem with cheap earbuds, or at least was in my case.

Hmm I dont think its the ear buds as they work fine in every other thing. I've also tried different ones in the n7

Have you tried shining a light down the 3.5 jack hole (haha, i said jack hole!) to make sure both the small contacts are sticking out far enough to make contact with the earbuds stem?
