I've been attempting to pair my 15-day old Nexus 4 with a Blackberry VM-605 speakerphone. The phone does not automatically recognize the speakerphone, and I must re-pair the two devices each time I wish to stream audio from the phone to the speakerphone device. Is this normal behavior? I've paired other devices to this speakerphone, and they always "remember" each other. Thanks for the help.

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.

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!
I have a nexus 7 mouted in my car, and i have a Motorola razr maxx mounted.
My nexus is connected to the car stereo with a mini jack for playing music etc.
Is there any way to transfer all sound from my phone to my nexus?
Before i got my nexus, i connected my phone with the mini jack to car stereo, and it acted as a handsfree. Thats why i need this
No, I don't think you can stream from one device to another like that without a Wifi connection. I think there are apps that will allow your 2 devices to connect to each other, but again, you would need to be on a network for it to work.
Tablet talk can be used to control phone calls and messages from it tablet , but it doesn't send voice to it speakers , you will need to use a Bluetooth speakerphone .
Or you can install a jvc x50bt and have phone audio to our car

How can I do this with WiFi?
An app that would let me remote control spotify android to android could also to the trick I think

The other day I received a pair of plantronics backbeat GO earphones which are Bluetooth earphones. When I got these I tried to use them with my rooted nexus 7 and they paired and connected to the device fine but will not output any sound except for the connecting and disconnecting sounds the earphones make by themselves. So I was wondering if they just are not compatible with my device.

They should be, bluetooth devices such as headsets or headphones are pretty universal. Need more details to figure out why they're not working.
Also have you tried pairing them with other devices such as a laptop or another phone or tablet?
Mine work fine with it. Also pair to bt stereo and car fine.

Yeah I figured they should be compatible but unfortunately I haven't been able to test the earphones out on anything else, I am unsure as my nexus is rooted and I have installed the beats audio drivers which may have disabled the Bluetooth function but I am unsure because I don't have much experience with android

I can connect and pair with Bluetooth but audio doesn't stream and plays out of the speakers, however if I open the plantronics app I can record audio and hear it with the earphones. This problem also occurs across every player and any possible source of audio output throughout the device.

try your earphones with other devices and also try other bluetooth earphones with your N7...
I don't own any other Bluetooth earphones and everyone else in my house is tech depraved and any device they have doesn't have bluetooth

I have no problems with the earphones, it is just the device. My speakers have stopped playing at full volume and now these Bluetooth earphones won't stream. My only real concern is whether or not the app attached is the cause of my problems.

Paired my phone with my level on Bluetooth headphones and the audio is very choppy. Didn't experience this on my note 5.
Any ideas? Will try repairing it and see if that helps.

BT audio works great for me.
Useless comment, really, I know.
I have three devices I've used it with (LG HBS-730 headset, MPOW receiver for wired headphones, and the head-unit in my car - VW RCD 310 in my '13 Golf).
Have you tried your phone with other BT audio?
Seems to be working better now.

Works better than nexus 6p with same BT devices. Only had it drop once vs daily on nexus (main reason I sold it). All BT devices can have a little different stack and that includes phones. Unfortunately, BT is hit and miss. Unpair device and boot into recovery and wiping cache. Sometimes that helps.
I have a pair of Samsung level u pro Bluetooth headset paired to my S7E that i bought on friday which when i paired them to the phone they worked fine all day Friday. Now all of a sudden if a contact calls with a custom ringtone the phone plays the ringtone obviously but the headset does not it plays some generic tone at the same time. Any ideas?

i am getting choppy audio as well did you find a fix with my levels
i'm a huge Bluetooth fan and have been using earpieces and headsets for 15+ years.
i've been using a VXI Blueparrott headset with my Note 3 and Note 4 for the last
several years with no problems. Now with the Note 7 when someone calls there
is no audio (ringtone) from the phone, only the Bluetooth headset. i've looked
through all the settings and can't see anything wrong.
anyone else having this issue ?
I'm using watch and headset I haven't had that issue
