OK I would like a WiFi adapter to connect to my amp so I can play music from my nexus without having to plug it in, I noticed Logitech do one but its Bluetooth and want a WiFi one if they do them
Anyone doing this already ? What did you use ?
Thanks

The only way I have been able to do it is through Bluetooth. I bought a stereo Bluetooth adapter from monoprice.com and it works very well. I use Google music to stream.

I keep getting told that you lose sound quality using Bluetooth due to compression etc, is this right ?

No. Bluetooth Quality is indistinguishable from wired output, I did a lot of geeky comparison tests as am a recording engineer and believed the same as you, that BT was horrid mush. Not true!
neither could I see with analysis any difference, i couldn't hear any more importantly. From reading the actual quality is equivalent to 320/350 kbps mp3 which is CD quality with a tiny roll off above 17khz, which is **** you can't even hear if you're over 25, and there's no musical value up there I assure you. I have the Logitech one with n10 setup for my dad, all he has to do is turn BT on on the n10, it connects, then play the tunes.. all the other factors in sound quality are way more important like amp ,speakers, placement / stands, room, eq etc.

Hi guys,
Is there any word about apt-x codec support on teh galaxy note?
Also, I've used bluetooth headset about 4 years ago and there was always a noise in the background while nothing was being played plus lots of delays on the audio (nokia N82 plus nokia BH-601 headphone)
With an good expensive headphone like the sennheiser mm 550 should I expect the same problem?
Thanks!
Note doesnt support apt-x. Still a lot of background noise in my case.

Hey guys i was wondering whats the best speaker dock for Android? i'd like to charge my phone and listen to music at the same time i don't think my nexus 4 supports usb audio out yet, i was thinking about getting the philips fidelio as14037
The JBL power up would be nice but it is out of my price range, any other suggestions?
My plan is to use my existing PC speakers. Get my computer to turn when my phone connects to the WiFi, connect to Bluetooth on my PC and use a wireless charger. no need for any cables.

Gear4 was supposed to release an Android app-controlled clock radio during Q3 but it never materialized. It would be the first speaker dock to take advantage of USB audio.

In using an old ihome that was once used before my iPod touch crapped out. I bought a 30 pin Bluetooth adapter from target for like 20 bucks and just stream while my phone is plugged in.

I'm using the iLuv MobiDock speaker. It secures the phone in any position whether you have put it in the landscape. The performance and clarity of the sound are awesome. But the only thing I don't like is this docking station speaker is too costly.
Anyone know how to get the Bluetooth settings from android 4.1 put into android 4.2? I've seen people talking about stacks and what not but have no idea what they are talking about. It is actually an open issue in 4.2 that has been assigned. See thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not an audiophile but bluetooth sounds fine on my headphones. What problems are you having?

I am an audiophile and Bluetooth sounds fine.
In my car I have a Bose stereo. cymbal splashes, vocals, or anything high frequency sounds very tinny. or the best way to describe it would be like crinkling a potato chip bag during those high frequency parts. It isn't obnoxiously bad, but definitely bad enough to know something is not right. Didn't have problems on my galaxy nexus till it updated to 4.2, it sounded great. Then when nexus 4 came and I fired it up it thinking it would be better it sounded identical to the galaxy nexus post upgrade. The headphone jack sounds great though, it just seems to be affecting Bluetooth.

Bluetooth audio sounds fine to me as well. I'm using the LG HBS-700 A2DP headset.
I do find it to be less noticeable when using play music, or music on my phone. Still there, but not as bad. If I use slacker or Pandora, it's a train wreck. I know I'm not crazy cause I reverted my galaxy nexus back to 4.1.2 and it was fine again. I can use an aux cable but that defeats the purpose of having Bluetooth in my car. And I can't revert my nexus 4 to 4.1

I believe you can thru Bluetooth or an aux jack.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
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 recently picked up a Bt35toy for hands free call and audio streaming in my car. The audio playback is extremely bad compared to my previous audio tape converter. Does anyone have an app that can correct the sound quality for streaming audio via Bluetooth. Currently the volume is significantly lower and it sounds as if the music is being played through a tin can.
Thanks for any ideas

Not sure if it's really a problem of bluetooth streaming quality. Maybe it's a problem of power of the streaming ?
Does the "quality" of the audio playback differs from time to time ? like when you move your phone ? near the receiver ? or when it is fully charged ?
Can you (or have you) tried with another phone ?
Finally, have you tried audio/volume booster apps ? or equalizer (Viper/DSPManager/...) ?
The receiver is mounted almost directly below the phone. I have noticed a difference in distance or charge power. I will try to pay attention to that. I think a volume booster would be helpful. I will see what I can find.
