Any recommendations for external speaker /docking station? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I charge my phone by my bedside every night and would like to combine charging it with a docking station with external speakers. Anyone have recommendations on one model in particular that works with our beast of a phone?

I've been using a Philips Fidelio AS351 for the past year or so, and it's been great.
The dock itself turns on when the phone is plugged in, and connects to the device via bluetooth. The best part is to be able to have an alarm go off, snooze it, pick up the device and have it still connected to play some music through it before you get out of bed. It doesn't turn off during the night randomly and I've never had an issue with the device not connecting or anything of the sort.
It sounds suprisingly well for a bluetooth speaker as well. That's my suggestion.

Did i get the wrong 3.5mm adaptor?

It looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
6 pins on the top.
When i plug it in nothing happens, sound is still played on loud speaker.
It looks like a car owned by a chain smoker.
First I bought an alternative 3.5 adapter which messed up my phone - the device turned totally unresponsive if I received a call
Then I bought HTC original
I suggest you do the same
I picked up one off eBay, it looks like the car that you drew, and it's worked fine since day one. Here's a reference photo in an auction just to be clear.

Ok...so the picture above shows what im using, its just a cheap $5 y adapter from amazon...its worked fine in the past on my previous phones (samsung infuse and htc vivid) however when I play music through it on my s4 it cause "glitches" like artifacts from the lockscreen will pop up...status bar will "jitter" ...its hard to explain so check out the video for an example...just a few seconds long - there is no issue with headphones so im confused why this is happening...and it happens with all music players not just stock...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSBUkhol4Bg -wait while that processes
Any one have any ideas?
Any suggestions?
Any body have a y adapter they can try and replicate it with?
Should I return my device?
-Theres no issue using this adapter with my other phones
-headphones give no problems...and this essentialy should act the same as headphones...its just going to speakers instead

I plug either one into my usb-otg cable (pictured) and... nothing. WEll on the blue one the light lights up red.
when i turn off the wifi and 3g data on my tablet, i get nothing, even using ping in terminal.
does anyone know how to make this work/what app to use to connect? I need it to access a wired router at work, as the wifi network is locked down.
Took me a bit to figure out what you were talking about. There is an Imito mini PC, I was using and I remember a kinda new network setting would appear. Never tried anything USB like that. I'll try it out though because I just bought a similar one recently and never unboxed it. Ha. Sorry for delay in response.

[Q] Multimedia Dock not appearing after plugging headphones

When I had my note 2;
It would add an extra page as if I had an accessories dock, but it automatically activated when I plugged in my headphones, Made it convenient for my music. Now that I have a note three I cannot figure out why its not doing it there. I have tore a part the settings to figure it out and I can't figure it out. What I am talking about is what I have expressed in the picture below, but it would do that for headphones. My note three does not do that, and I would like to fix that, How do I do that?

Perhaps Tasker is a solution here? Provided that dock still exists, I'm sure you could set a Tasker profile to enable it upon headset plugin.

Bluetooth Audio Problem with S7 edge (not working unless disconnect and reconnect)

The problem I am facing is that, once I get in the car, phone auto connect to to this dongle. However, once I hit play on Music/YouTube/Apple Music/Spotify, the phone will not play music (audio timeline does not move too)
I am not too sure what happened, but it will work perfectly if I disconnect manually and connect it again.
Any idea / recommendation?
Thanks.
I'm curious if you ever fixed this? This happens to me all the time, if I'm connecting to a car audio system that has separate voice and media Bluetooth devices. When I have this issue I have to to disconnect, play music over my phone speaker and push the volume up, then reconnect to my car. Bam. I've never been able to create a Tasker to fix this. Any ideas?
