Does any one know where I can get the headphone adaptor. I tried one from Amazon but it didn't work. Apparently it was only for a Moto phone. Thanks
Shouldn't the one from Google work?

I have the adapter form google store and it sounds pretty good. Want to add that Essential's adapter seems to be a bit louder and have more punch. Regular earbuds will have decent sound with either adapter, but using a more powerful headphones may seem under powered.
Get the Razer dongle it has a dac inside it.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has come across such an accessory? It would be super useful for my car (and other scenarios I'm guessing). If anyone has suggestions of how to wire in a normal QI charger into a car that would be really helpful too!
Cheers!

If you really want to do that you could get one of these http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Single-Position-Inductive-Charger/dp/B005QZ8BF0/ref=sr_1_cc_3?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1352514463&sr=1-3-catcorr&keywords=qi+charger and one of these http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-PV150-Portable-Inverter/dp/B0000AI0OE
Kind of a pain but its the only thing I came up with
Thanks. I thought about that but I think I'd prefer to just use a USB cable than spend that money on extra devices for my car... Thanks though!

Same here. Considering the head unit I have already has a usb plug. I'm sure they will make them eventually.
The dock that you can buy from the Play Store is micro-usb powered. So you can just have that plugged into your car.
Keep in mind its only about 70% efficient so for other battery applications its probably best just to plug your phone straight in.
Am I the only one surprised at the dearth of Qi chargers combined with the increasing prevalence of Qi-enabled phones & cases?
Not really... There's like 2 Qi-enabled phones.

I think the second one includes the Wallplug USB power adapter
If you go dig through the accessories section there was a thread with a car mount QI charger, it's pretty much all you need.
What's with the design of this jack? I don't use ear buds but presume most will connect fine, but neither my Foxl speakers nor external amp will connect because of the curve of the phone. No problem with the GNex. Annoyed.

They'll connect just fine? Make sure you press hard enough for it to snap in! It's a standard 3.5mm jack. Just with a little bit of it cut out for the curve

I wouldn't worry too much, it took me a few minutes to figure out they had to snap in. I thought I had a faulty jack at first

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.

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 tried conning my headphones to the phone but it cant fully connect.
i tried different sizes of headphone jacks but all of them cant connect
any ideas why?
What do you mean by "Not fully connect" ?
The Nexus 4 packs a 3.5mm headset jack, so basically every headphone with an 3.5mm jack should fit.

what i mean is that when you connect a 3.5mm jack there is a click at the end when its fully connect in my case its not fully connecting
Can you try to connect the headphones to another audio source (eg. your computer) and see if it connects to it?
If not, the problem is your headset.
If it does, your audio jack in your Nexus 4 is somehow messed up.

the headphones work with another phone so i guss its a problem with the dvice
Do you have any other headsets which have a 3.5mm jack?
If you have, try them. If all of the dont fit, your 3.5mm port is broken
You could try to RMA it, or replace the part yourself.

You need to push a hit harder right st the end, it's a tight fit.

Had the same problem. There could be some fluff in the headphone jack. Take a needle and try to remove it carefully..

Hi,
I bought the Spigen Neo-Hybrid case. GREAT looking case. One thing I noticed about it though is that my Auxillary cable for my car doesn't fit in the S4 with this case on. It only really works when plugging in S3 headphones, or something equally thin. I suppose I need to get a new auxillary cable. I figure maybe some of you guys had this problem as well. I tried the RadioShack one and it worked fine, but it is 10 bucks. Anyone know of a cheaper one I could get that is a guaranteed fit? It has to be about the size of the S3 headphone set.
I would try monster cables I have the cassette to aux and it fits perfectly

That's a bummer, but hey... it should be an easy easy fix. All you need is a little headphone extension chord.... preferably one that's a few inches long. Just have to find one that fits though.
