Hey everyone, just got my nexus 4 a couple days ago and it's awesome so far, but I've noticed an issue with my Bluetooth. Sometimes it just won't turn on, which is fixed by rebooting the device, then while streaming music through Bluetooth in the car, it will cut in and out. Is this a common problem and is there a fix for it?

I also just got my N4 yesterday. Drove all the way to work this morning with audio streaming from my phone through bluetooth with no issues. Maybe try doing a factory reset?

It's a common 4.2.2 bug google may fix it in the next version, I don't think there's a known cause yet.

For me, it's caused by a location app. I uninstalled it and turned on/off bluetooth then re-installed the app. Everything works fine now.

My stock music app seems to have started rebooting my phone after about 5 minutes of listening. The phone will then kept resetting itself until I power it off myself.
Strangely it seems to randomly move one app icon from the application menu half the time it reboots.
It's only started happening today and there are no issues when I use Winamp to listen.
There's no change to my phone over the last few days and the music app was fine until today.
Google didn't seem to bring up any useful info, any ideas what's causing it or how to fix it?

WOW and I thought I was going crazy with my phone
This morning alone, I was trying to have myself some music, and the phone freaking bounced like 4 times during 20 minutes.
I have 2 suspect combinations of conditions when this might happen. Both include of course the stock player running:
1) The setting is switched on that mutes the phone when you turn it face down - I suspect it has something to do with the reboots
2) The phone is manually switched to Airplane mode, or there are some rare issues with signal (I am in New York City, signal is the worst here)
Did you by any chance have any of these 2 when your phone bounced?
I have this too. I use poweramp as my music player and have no issues. Using stock KE7.

I've got the face down mute thing on but I always lock the screen when listening to music and it's never caused issues before.
As for the signal, it happened to me at home where I have great signal and then again when I was at the gym, where the signal can get a bit ropey but not in the area I was in when I experienced the problem.
I can't really think of anything that might have caused it. It's not a huge issue for me yet but if out starts affecting other music players then it'll really bug me
I didn't have this issue until I upgraded to ke7
I'm back on ke2 and zero issue with the music app. Look in the ke7 thread, there are few posts about the soft reboot

Ever since I installed the Wifi based TW ROM I have had issues with the wifi stopping. The issue continues with the official rom (with root and deoxed). It is set to be on in software but says disconnected. If I reboot device it works fine again.
Anyone else have this issue? I am very close to going back to stock even though I like the new way of doing notifications.
Same problem here. Simple way to solve it to enable and disable Airplane Mode... But yeah.. its really annoying. So any fix would be very helpful.
I've had the same problem recently. Did either of you install the free wifi server app that the Amazon store offered a day or two ago? That's when it seemed to start so I just removed it so see if that fixes my issue... here's hoping!
Same problem here, but it just started the day before yesterday. I've had Touchwiz since a day or two after I bought the device (almost two weeks). Hadn't thought to toggle airplane mode, thanks for that tip. Beats power cycling every morning.

I had similar issue with the stock Galaxy rom. Since the TouchWhiz update however, it has been running extremely well.
So after uninstalling the WiFi File Explorer Pro my WiFi has worked fine without any connection issues. Just like before and after TW. I also had a weird issue that wouldn't recognize finger presses on the lockscreen after waking up once every 10 to 20 times.
If you installed this app or something similar it might be worth a shot to remove it.
For some reason, when I use Spotify and get a call... If I go back to Spotify to resume my music my N4 will just shutoff without warning. Was wondering if this is having this issue. Thinking I might've gotten a dud device because some of my other apps that should be working fine don't even open on my N4

I was having this issue as well. I had the phone shut off while in a deep sleep overnight and while making a call with sipdroid. I ended up flashing the factory image which wipes the phone including sdcard. No shutdown since. I did have it reboot after changing from mobile data to Wi-Fi manually but I think this rom has several issues with WiFi. There are several threads about the phone losing Wi-Fi on a deep sleep.
Make sure you aren't using apps with known incompatibilities.

In the stock rom my when i tried to turn the bluetooth on sometimes it turned on but sometimes it would just not turn on.
I had to reboot the phone for it to turn on again.
So i thought i would switch over to a custom rom.I am currently using Liquid Smooth v2.4 but the problem still persists.
I tried some other roms too but still there is this problem.Can anyone tell me if its a hardware problem? or if there is a solution for it...
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163979 .
If you can RMA it, I will suggest you do that. 2weeks ago I got my brand new n4. I use BT all the time and mine connects and disconnect and sometimes it connects but then few seconds, not even up to a minute will disconnect. I tried all the tricks and different ROMs and it just will not stay connected. Went to 4 different T-Mobile stores and their n4 worked flawlessly. Long story short I called Google and they RMA a new one that worked flawless.

I have Wi-Fi problems with 4.3. Seems to disconnect and be sluggish at downloading. Anyone else?
Also seen some strange flickering sometimes in apps.

I'm having the same issue with the Wifi connection being dropped on both my Nexus 10 and Gnex with 4.3, both were Ok yesterday but have started acting up this afternoon
EDIT: Ok it seems the problem was with my router! Guess I should have checked that beforehand!
I have experienced something similar. Reported in this tread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384328
I have not noticed that I drop wifi but notice in Chrome (99% of table use is with Chrome) that sometime when I click a link, open a bookmark, or a direct URL that it sometimes just sits and spins for anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds. I never get a timeout and indication I have lost network but it takes forever. Its really random, some pages load extremely fast (few seconds) but sometimes those same urls load really really slow. Don't notice this on my phone (on wifi) or computers and never noticed it on my N10 with 4.2.2. I did a full wipe and installed the 4.2.2 image then accepted the OTA yesterday to see if that would fix it. I'm not sure yet. It seems better but I had a least 1 case where is was slow again last night. This could have been the website so I need some more time to determine if it's fixed...

Although early in the experience curve, on my system You Tube videos are constantly stopping and restarting, waiting for the stream. I rarely experienced that with 4.2.2 so am hoping it is a issue that resolves itself.
Interesting... I find that WiFi has improved on my Nexus 10. At home, my Nexus would drop the network connection periodically and then reconnect about 5 seconds later. So far on 4.3 I haven't seen this happen.
I have no problem with WiFi on 4.3
I've had WIFI issues for as long as I've owned my N10. It just recently stopped working (couldn't reply in hangouts) so I turned off WIFI. When I turned it back on, it would just say authentication error. I had to reboot the N10 to get it to reconnect.

I noticed the ytube issue too. I changed from auto to 2.4ghz under advanced and so far seems better but not sure yet..
Well no luck with 2.4Ghz. The issue is very sporadic, sometimes everything works great and but then all of a sudden Chrome takes forever to access a new url. I have determined it's not Chrome, it's just that is what I mostly use on my tablet. I have seen this several times in Youtube and so when this happend i grab my phone (on wifi) to see if it could be network related but everything works flawlessly on my phone. I started doing some speeds tests to help troubleshoot this issue and the wifi performance is across the board whereas it's very consistent on my phone wifi. When I had one of these delays last night I immediately switched over to my speedtest.net app and it reported that it could not access the internet! My wifi signal indicator never indicates that I have lost wifi. Definitely something strange going on here. I have already factory wiped my tablet twice (originally going to 4.3 and after to troubleshoot this issue) and it never happened on 4.2.2 or on my Phone wifi there had got to be an issue with Wifi on 4.3. Just wonder why more people are not having issues. I might try swapping out my WAP but considering all worked great on 4.2.2 and it currently works fine on my phone wifi that would frustrating if it turns out to be my wifi.

Followup: The YouTube slowdown continued and after a few hours the internet connection became so slow that it would take several minutes to load a single web page. My internet connection on my Mac acted normally during this time. In the end I could not even get text pages to load in the XDA app. After rebooting several times, cleaning caches, turning wifi off and on, cycling thru the wifi advanced options and flashing the Monkey kernel I finally gave up and restored a Rootbox nandroid backup. My roadmap to the 4.3 install was: formatting all memory (including data/media), restoring my rooted stock 4.2.2 nandroid backup, and then fastbooting the JWR66V from JDQ39 OTA zip file. I then re-rooted by installing Chainfire's Update-SuperSu-v1.43.zip. I have no idea what I did wrong with the installation but will wait with 4.3 until updated 4.3 custom roms become available. Currently I am very satisfied with Rootbox so waiting is not an issue.
Has anyone with those problems tried to turn on/off WiFi optimizations in advanced WiFi settings?

Yes, tried that and it didn't help. I'm now torn between going back to 4.2.2 or staying on 4.3 cause I just picked up a Miracast adapter... Man i hate it when they create new bugs with things that had no issues in the first place!
I figured out that my laptop makes the wifi on my nexus VERY slow.

I have found that switching to my 5 ghz setting on my Asus router has solved this issue for me.

Since 4.3 has anyone else found that copying text from pretty much any application crashes the app?
