Hello guys! Just received my nexus 4 and i've noticed the bluetooth noise issue ...When making a phone call using bluetooth and Wifi is ON the other party can hear me but there's always a frustrating interference in the audio ...for me the audio is just fine ...turning Wifi OFF solves the problem ...I'm on android 4.2.2 using HTC BH M300 bluetooth..I've noticed that if i choose Wifi frequency band 5GHz instead of 2.4 GHz ( same frequency being used by bluetooth if i'm correct ) then the noise is gone but basically that's because wifi isn't connected anymore...
No problem streaming music or audio from videos using bluetooth!
Anyone else experiencing this and is there a way to fix it ?
Thanks
DITTO. That's the problem with Bluetooth. Perhaps Google knows about it and is working on solving it. Not sure. Read somewhere.

Until today, I've been using my nexus one to play music in my car with no issues ... I got the galaxy tab car mount yesterday so that I can use my tablet. I noticed that the galaxy tab will 'skip' while playing music over Bluetooth. I haven't noticed anyone complaining about this....
Rooted T-Mobile galaxy tab
Sony xplod mex-bt2800
Like I said, works just fine with my nexus one. Does anyone know why it would 'skip'?

Thats odd, I had this issue with some old android phones when wifi was enabled and playing music through bluetooth. But I havent had that issues with the vibrant or the tab. The old phones would skip when it scans for wifi networks. I forget where the setting is, but you could adjust how ofter it scans for new wifi networks which would decrease the amount of skipping. Try turning off wifi while listening via bluetooth and see if the issue goes away.

Yep I noticed this the other day when using the Tab to send music to my car stereo via BT, very annoying!
I also have an HTC Desire and it doesn't have this problem...
I listen to audiobooks several hours each day and the tab does not skip for me.
Except between the chapters because the headset shuts off for half a second but i can prevent that with another app that plays sounds and has its own mixer which i set to 0.
@schmolch, It doesn't skip when I'm using wired headphones or the speaker, only when Bluetooth is involved.

That seems to be the issue... I disabled wifi, and experienced no skipping this morning (50 minute commute )

Has anyone had this issue? Anytime I'm on a call with my Bluetooth headset I can't use WiFi it won't scan or connect. When I switch to phone speaker or earpiece it connects. Also when I'm listening to music with Bluetooth it connects just not when calling.
Thanks for any reply.

I have a different issue with Bluetooth. Whenever I turn on Bluetooth and am done with it I turn it off. The next time I want to use it I try to turn it on and the on toggle switch toggles to the off position. It won't turn on until I reboot the phone. Then it's on as soon as I reboot. When I'm done with Bluetooth I turn it back off. Rinse, repeat. Any body got any ideas? Hopefully the op doesn't feel I'm highjacking his thread. I just haven't seen any other post relating to Bluetooth troubles on the Nexus 4.

Not at all it might help get these issues exposure

Yup having this issue. WiFi connectivity does when on a call using Bluetooth. Connect to a 5ghz WiFi network so both can work together at the same time or hope Google will fix it.

Having done a small amount of digging around trying to figure out why I can't use my 2.4GHz WiFi at the same time as a Bluetooth headset, it looks like it's most likely due to the change of Bluetooth stack in 4.2.x.
Bluetooth has a feature called Adaptive Frequency Hopping that is supposed to automatically detect which frequencies in the 2.4GHz range are being used by other services, such as WiFi, and then avoid them. My wild and uninformed guess is that this is not working correctly and hence the Bluetooth and WiFi signals are interfering with one another to the point that neither can operate reliably. Fundamentally this is likely to be the same for headsets used for voice calls as well as basic audio playback.
If I switch the N4 to the 5GHz radio on my AP then everything co-exists happily and fluffy bunnies hop around peacefully in flowery fields.
In my case it certainly doesn't just affect streaming audio. If I play a local music track via my Bluetooth headset or speakers, the WiFi connection will usually drop; though even if it doesn't, it's not possible to download any files for example.
I have also tested on a Nexus 7 running 4.2.1 and, whilst it seems this can just manage streaming audio, as soon as I start to download a file the BT audio stutters very badly. That could also be down to the poor I/O bandwidth, though, and I'm not in any hurry to downgrade to 4.1 to prove the point at the moment.
Final test was on an ASUS TF300 with 4.1.1. This happily streamed audio over BT and downloaded a file at the same time. Also no problems playing a local track over BT whilst downloading a large file using WiFi.
There are a few related bugs open on the Android bug-tracker, for what that's worth. There are a massive number of Bluetooth issues overall, but a few WiFi/Bluetooth ones are:

It also happens when using a Bluetooth game controller, the WiFi stops functioning properly!
Any of you guys experiencing problems with your bluetooth? My phone connects to the car with no problems but no sound comes out from my car's speaker during voice calls. The speaker produces sounds whenever I receive calls(rings), but no audio output is produced once I answer the call. I updated the phone to the latest firmware, but the problem is still persistent. Any feedbacks will be much appreciated.

Search the forum...
Anyway try to enter the settings on the phone for the specific bt device once connceted. There are two checkboxes. One for media and one for phone. Make sure both are checked.
I have various problems with bt too...
I noticed that when the carkit initiates the bt connection its always media only and I have to check the phone myself manually.
Also if on a call and another call waiting incoming call the bt connection drops.

Thanks for the reply, but I also did that prior to posting my dilemma. Even if the car audio is ticked, no sound comes from the speakers during voice calls.

Hi,
all I can say is bad luck.
I have the same problem.
no voice at all during the call by using my Bluetooth.
I have spend 10 hours to search the solution, no luck.
I think the only way to fix it is either to wait Samsung update or root your phone, get the new ROM.

Has anybody experienced any kind of disconnections with Bluetooth headsets?
My MW600 headset, which was working perfectly until 4.4 update, keeps disconnecting and reconnecting from my N4 very frequently with no pattern and only during calls - it never disconnects when listening to music.
Any experience / advice?
Hmm have similar problems with 4.4.1 and same BT.
Are you on same version?

Hi guys, I've recently discovered that the audio doesn't work over Bluetooth on my phone. I'm on my holls in France at the moment and have been using Google Maps to navigate, along with the bluetooth radio in the hire car. I also couldn't get audio to work with a Bluetooth speaker at home the other day.
I can pair the devices just fine.
Bluetooth audio used to work before the Lollipop update.
Could there be a setting somewhere that I may have missed?
