How to connect nexus 4 on a car stereo using USB cable ?Is there any setting to be do

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?

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE.
I have a pair of ATH-M50s and these things are a beast!
So that being said, my PC, macbook, and iPhone 4S, before I traded it in for this, are really loud. The GS4 doesn't go loud as it should. I used poweramp as the music player, but it's a hideous music player and clogs up the screen.
Really upsetting that Samsung limits the volume for us to hear. Hopefully someone has a fix for this or something?

Seriously?? You think the volume is low?? I think the volume through both speakers and headphones is quite high and a lot clearer than my previous phone, an HTC Vivid, which utilizes "Beats" audio.
But I do believe that Beats on the Vivid was simply a software modification of the sound like an EQ adjustment, rather than anything like a hardware change.
And just for reference, I use a pair of Denon AH-D1100 headphones quite frequently.

Remember to make backup if you have a i337m or make sure you have the stock rom just in case anything goes wrong.

Thanks, don't know how I missed the post above mine. Oh well. Patiently wait I suppose. What is a good sound mod that will also boost volume? I am using PowerAmp, but some of my albums are not very loud, and generally running 320kbps.

On the newer htc phones beats is more than an eq setting. They have built in amps now for both the speakers and the headset jack.
I've honestly used all of the eq settings on most of my devices but it never compared to actual stock beats settings or how great voodoo sound was for older Samsung devices as well as the og Asus transformer.

The DSP manager in Cyanogenmod worked well for me. I have no desire to own anything that says beats. Just waiting for Dan to release his secret unlock. I use bose qc3's, they're no seinhesier's or AT's but they get the job done.

Trading in under warranty. Root and loki still available?

Today I am picking up my new gs4 from the warranty center due to headphone jack problems. I was wondering if I will still be able to root and use the loki kernel exploit? Or just deal with the damn problems? Anyone have any idea. I know they are re manufactured mobos so I dont think they would have patched anything but im not willing to take a chance any info would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. They maybe refurbished but there still the same phone.

Also with it being a refurbised mobo does that make an issue. Should I just keep the one that was brand new.

I have a refurbished phone and it's no different than my original, other than it works now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

If the new phone has AMDB or AMDL firmware (AT&T) you should be OK.

Thanks guys! Yeah I have [email protected] Got a call from them, going to pick it up now! Hopefully my monster headphones wont pop and crack after turning the volume passed 7.... the original samsung headphones have no issues whatsoever. Its just my expensive ones like klipchs and monster that seem to pop andvcrack at high volune when they work flawlessly on other devices... doesvanyone know which headphones with the 3 buttons are compatable with the gs4. So far volume controls refuse to work on monster dna earbuds and klipsch s4i headphones. Is there a certain ohm or impedance the gs4 uses. Never had this problem with my atrix... a compatable list of 3 button headphones would be greatly appreciated.

Adapt Sound Working With Wired Headset??

I have tried to make the Adapt Sound work with phone calls on my wired headset and it just doesn't seem to be an option. Anyone know how to make this work??

Curious if it would be possible to get adapt sound to work with Bluetooth headphones?

Didn't check the date on this, but no it won't work on bluetooth and to start the program I had to make a widget. Hope there is an update because they made my wired headphones sound a lot better.

What makes wired headphones and even blue tooth sound the best is Viper4android imo.. It literally turns your headphones into magic :sly::thumbup:
I'm on 4.3 And using this from the Play store

Dre Beats control talk not working?

Ok so I've got a pair of Dre Beats Solo headphones with the monster control talk (hands free kit) cable.
Hands free mic and play/pause switch work fine with HTC phones, but on my Nexus 4 I get no response. I can't answer calls through the cable buttons either. If I do manually answer a phone call with them connected, I can hear the call through the headphones but I cannot reply through the mic in the cable, nor the mic in the phone so I have to disconnect. Anyone had this issue or knows how to resolve it?
Maybe my phones headphone socket/hands free mic connection is faulty? I doubt this because I tried them through my sisters Nexus 5 and had the same outcome.
Please let me know guys. Cheers.

Take them in to where you got them maybe they could help? On my Beats Tour headphones w/ Monster switch thing play and pause work. I don't use calling often though so I can't test that..

The Nexus 4 lacks the hardware for your hands free control. HTC and Apple products have the hardware, mostly because they have somewhat of a partnership with beats (as does HP).

Hmmm yeah I guess it is the hardware. How lame! So if I want to use a wired hands free kit I'll have to get the official nexus one, or even break the bank and get a Bluetooth one? I think I'll carry on living with the minor inconvenience lol, unless anyone could point me to an awesome product that would solve my issue?
Thanks for your replies guys.
