Bluetooth SPP Profile

I just installed a new stereo receiver in my car. It's a JVC KD-X50BT. it works fine to skip tracks and such from the stereo , but it won't display the song name which, according to JVC, is related to the Nexus 4 not supporting bluetooth spp profile. Does anyone know anything about this?

Bluetooth SPP works fine for me, maybe it is the combination with the JVC stereo causing problems...

According to the representative I spoke to the N4 doesn't have the profile, do you know where I could find the correct specs for that?
Also, what media player do you use? I use Google music, I forgot to include that in the OP
Thanks

For what it's worth, I have the same problem on mine. I also had the same problem on my One X.

What receiver and app do you use?

Same JVC receiver as you. I've used Google Play Music, the stock HTC music, and Pandora. The only way Pandora will display the info is if I use the special JVC-Pandora mode (but then it limits my skips to 5, eventhough I'm on Pandora One).

This sounds like it's an issue with the receiver then. Anyone have any confirmation (spec sheet, etc.) that would confirm that the N4 does indeed support spp so that I can call and rightfully rant?

Check this thread out. It's an issue with stock android and not your head unit. It only shows track info if I play music from Pandora and that's it. It's annoying. I have a Sony head unit.

Final answer (which is in line with all my experiments haha): the Nexus 4 on AOSP does not support the necessary Bluetooth profile (AVRCP 1.3). However some custom ROMs do, CyanogenMod does with the cavet that the feature has not yet been ported to CyanogenMod 10, that is it seems to have worked fine in CM 9 but isn't included in CM 10 yet. So it's just a question of waiting/kindly reminding the devs.

Bluetooth streaming - skipping audio

Hey guys, long time Android user with some BT issues I'm hoping you guys can help with.
I recently upgraded from the razr maxx to the sg4 (verizon) and I'm having trouble with music skipping through BT. The skipping occurs in two seperate vehicles.
Vehicle 1 is my wife's 2013 Sonata
Vehicle 2 is an older vehicle with an old jvc head unit.
I had zero music streaming problems with these vehicles when I used my razr maxx.
Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas how to tackle it?
I forgot to mention that my sg4 is 100% stock 5 day old unit.

Did you update to the latest software of your device?

Yep... same day I bought it, it requested a system update. I'm on 4.2.2.

I have the same problem. Music may play ok for a bit then start skipping so much that it is unbearable. This is with a BMW 5 series. I have updated radio software with no change. Other phones work fine in this car. I have 2 s4 and both have exact same issue. I have tried every rom and kernel combo possible with no change. This is the only thing that bothers me with this phone as streaming music in my vehicle is a must. Im subscribing with the hope this will get resolved.

mine works fine - with both a Clarion cz702a head unit and a bluetooth receiver on my Yamaha iPod dock.

I should note that for me. I have a Sony nav system in another car and it works fine. Just in the BMW I have a problem.

Well that's disheartening, I would assume your receiver is BT 2.1 then. ..
I was hoping that buying a new receiver might resolve the issue

I'll try it and report back..

I've had on and off issues with bluetooth audio streaming in my car since owning my Nexus 4. Android 4.2.2 was pretty much borked full stop, only AOKP really ran consistently okay.
Samsung 4.2.2 seemed to work fine, as did the GE 4.3 ROM, but I'm struggling again with AOSP 4.3 ROMs. CM 10.2 was awful pre-official nightly, it's now at least playable but I get constant pops/skips.

how to connect the nexus 4 to the toyota corolla 2013-2014?

Hello,
I got today the new Toyota Corolla 2013-2014, there is inside the car a screen that you can connect your phone(in Bluetooth i think or from the usb connection) .
in toyota they said that you can connect only the galaxy s 3 & the galaxy note and see the screen of the phone on this screen in the car and using for example the gps.
someone heard about it? and know how can i use with my nexus 4 on this screen?
thanks!

Its called Entune. It says the N4 is compatible.
Here is the instructions on setup:
http://www.toyota.com/connect/
Here is the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweddle.toyota.entune&hl=en

thank you for the help,
when i get in to the google play to download the app it says "This app is incompatible with all of your devices".
you sure that you saw the system is support in the nexus 4?

Hope You will have sorted out! You should have latest Mirrorlink Toy. Touch2 system! I believe You live in USA, isn't it?
Regards
Alessandro

Note 3 remote is working fine, maybe it's bug in Note 4 that will be solved soon.

Having the same issue here, never had an issue with my S4 but with this one is just a pain to be aiming the TV for a while to make it work.

Same problem here. Any solution?

Bumb!

Same problem here, anyone found a fix. Running 4.4.4

Not sure how this will work for others, but I've been using TouchSquid app from the Play Store now for a few months and it always works. You have to select 'Alternate IR Driver' in the settings. It's not the prettiest interface, but it works for me , I can control two TVs, my Squeezebox, Hi-Fi, DVD Recorder and even an IR light switch. I tried several other apps but couldn't get them to work consistently. Maybe I just got lucky :/
Here's the one I use:
