If I'm not mistaken Google moved to a new Broadcom b/t stack. Yeah, good move! And I agree, b/t has been around for like what at least 10 years now? You'd think that getting track info should be a given by now. I have a crappy old LG phone running Gingerbread and it has no issues at all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
Bluetooth

When I got the N4, I connected my helmet headset to it and everything seems to work fine. My headset supports ad2p music and phone. Both connected and both worked, including play controls. Not sure about the audio quality, I didn't test it long enough :D After I flashed Jellybro (CM 10.1 Kang) Music connects, but phone goes on a connect/disconnect loop. Audio needs further testing, can't tell if the left side is off because of the bluetooth or not. Controls work most of the time, every now and again playback will decide to pause itself and sometimes the play command doesn't work. Haven't had a chance to flash stock CM 10.1 nightly yet either.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaPhang:
Play/Pause Works Inconsistently

Has anyone had this issue?

I am on stock 4.2.2, I connect with my car stereo no problems. I use to be able to just hit play/pause on my car stereo and it would just play music from Google Music. Now, sometimes when I hit the play/pause button on my stereo, it won't play. I have to manually hit play from my phone. After initially doing that, then I can hit play/pause and the control is there. I haven't had the problem since I got my phone on Nov 14th, this issue just started to happen. I notice this after installing Light Manager, but I have uninstalled it and still the issue is there. It is inconsistent, but the issue is more often than not.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Just reiterating, stock Android does not show artist/track info, it is not in the protocol, but you can skip tracks or go back to previous tracks. If it is important to you, you should root and get a custom ROM, not sure which ones for N4 has it though, been too happy with stock to root.

Is anyone else having problems wit Bluetooth audio streaming in car? My music sounds like it's speed up a tiny bit. Kinda like chipmunks voices. Is this a ROM issue?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quleid:
Hey guys, I'm looking forward to buy some earphones with mic for my new LG Nexus 4, but I'm unsure if the Skullcandy Heavy Medal work fine.

Is there anyone who has any info about this? Thanks in advance. :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quleid:
Well, if anyone wants to know, I bought them, the mic button works fine, the volume controls are useless as I expected and overall these earphones are good, not great but good, the noise isolation is terrible, so if you're walking down the street where there's a lot of traffic, probably you will perfectly hear the cars making noises around you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CAYCE_VII:
I would have to completely disagree. I can't even hear myself talking when listening to music with these let alone anything else. Maybe, MAYBE if you're walking ON the freeway but I doubt even that.

Has it just been my phone does flashing newer version of gapps or has google's servers actually been out of sync? I haven't been getting emails for job interviews and it really bugs me I'm getting an email five hours late on my phone
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Gerr1985:
So I've got a strange one for you...

Here is what I CAN do:

I can ODIN back to stock 4.0 or 4.1 without issues

I can flash AOKP and Liquid Smooth roms without issues

Here is what I CAN'T do:

I can't install Cyanogenmod10, Hellfire, and Paranoid based Roms without continual systemui.exe force close errors and many many gapps force closures as well. It makes the ROM no longer usable.

I always factory wipe and clear both cache when flashing a new or different ROM. (I've done the whole "fix permissions" thing too, seems to make it worse)

I've even ODIN'ed back to stock and reflash to see if that fixed anything... NOPE!

I'm at a loss for what I've done to get these errors...

1. I have edited some files for the Google Wallet to work, but I no longer care about Google Wallet. Not sure if this would be a cause but its something right?!

I've been at this since G1 days, and I've never run into anything like this before.

Appreciate whatever assistance you can provide.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bfranklin1986:
Have you tried a different gapps file? I've been seeing a lot of issues with different ones
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Gerr1985:
I always flash the Gapps that is associated with the ROM. Usually a dev recommends or modifies one to use.

I have a Lumia 920 and have the Kindle app on it.

All other phones (and actual Kindles) allow for uploading of ebooks to the amazon website and then you can download them to each of the kindle devices and apps. The advantage of this is that they will sync to current read position on all devices.

BUT, the Kindle app on my phone wont allow the downloading of these files, but it will allow me to download the purchased ebooks from amazon.

Is anyone finding this problem as well?

It must be Windows related then, as I have come from an Android Tablet and phone and I could sync all ebooks to these devices - Oh well perhaps it might be solved in an update.

[Windows Phone 8 General] Tempest790:
The Kindle app is pretty much garbage on WP. It will only sync books purchased from the Amazon website. No other books can be opened by the app. According to other users, Android and iOS versions allow this. The app needs a major update.

Sent from my AT&T Lumia 920 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
The limitations on sideloading books or opening them from other locations (web, etc.) aren't actually the app's fault; WP7 doesn't allow apps to do that and even if WP8 does I'm pretty sure there isn't a dedicated WP8-only version yet. For what it's worth, the app does actually have the code to do this; there's just no way for it to tell the OS to do so.

If you have an unlocked WP7 device, you can use a homebrew app to open .mobi and .prc files and then immediately put them in the Kindle app's storage. They will work after that. Note that this doesn't yet work on WP8 because we don't have that level of access. Also note that this doesn't work on the Win8/Windows RT app, because it completely lacks the capability to open .mobi/.prc files (even though Win8/WinRT does support apps making themselves the handler for a filetype... grumble grumble).
[Windows Phone 8 General] coercri:
Thanks for all the replies, at least its not just me then, hopefully they will sort this out eventually.

If this isn't fake, and if it's true that almost nothing significant changed, and even the LED notification isn't fixed again, then...

I just can't believe how ignorant Sony devs are. More than I already thought they are. If they can't (won't) fix such a basic phone functionality for three consecutive updates, then I think we can be clear with how much they care about users they already took money from.

And no matter how great follower, supporter, fan you are, there is nothing left but to be pissed off. Once they realise that their best future users, are their satisfied past users, then maybe we will have better customer care.

Right now they are far from it...

But since it's still foggy situation about this update, and about what does it bring, I will wait untill I get my hands on it, to express my frustration/satisfaction in more details.

Edit: Have in mind that this is coming from a die hard Sony fan.

Like I said before on several occations, Gingerbread is light year ahead of this half-finished ICS wannabe.

In everything - period.

Beside fanciness and somewhat wider choice of apps, which will appeal to "up to date" type of users.

But everything (important) else is on side of GB really. Usability, performance, rock solidness, stability, gaming, etc etc...

As for me, I'm sick of waiting for something to happen, and then being slapped in face harder than before, over and over again.

I was using (torturing myself) ICS in last few weeks just for trying to make myself to like it, and hoping that new update will make it usable finally, but now...

I'm going back to GB for good, at least with this phone. This ICS experience made me appreciate GB even more than before. So, dear fast and usable GB, here I come. I'm sorry I ever left you.

I'm now comparing the released 4.1.b.1.13 RAY firmware with the .587.

I will make a list with changed things which will help to see what file to flash for your rom.

Till now disapointing as it's almost the same.

But i can see changed wifi modules.
[Xperia Arc General] Chlorophyll:
i nevvver had LED NOTIFICATION preoblems.annoying issues for me r gsm/cdma network reset problem n WIFI

such q weak handset LWW is.cant even recognize wifi signals properly.have to be very near to the wifi source for proper wifi functioning
[Xperia Arc General] CTCaer:
UPDATED

Ok here are the results for RAY.

Firmware compared:

ST18i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic_Nordic_1252-5332

ST18i_4.1.B.1.13_Vodafone DE

Compared every file.

(For changes in framework.odex and -res.apk you have to wait so i decompile them and see what changed.)

libs:

libwebcore.so
libwebrtc_audio_preprocessing.so
some others too also changed but the difference was released dates and hours. No real change.

lib/drm:
libmarlinplugin.so (a whole a lot changes)

lib/modules:
compat.ko
wl12xx.ko
wl12xx_sdio.ko
mac80211.ko
cfg80211.ko
(chanded wifi drivers)

Framework: EDITED

Changes only (-.-) in
[strike]framework-res.apk[/strike] and framework.odex (have to decompile and see the whole picture)
services.odex

[COLOR="red"]Edit:[/COLOR]
So no change in frame-res.apk in the end.
[B]framework.jar[/B] code has changes in backup. bluetooth device properties, browser frame and to webview/webviewcore codes.
[B]services.jar[/B] has changes to backup service.

If you flash the new kernel you will need these 2 files probably because both kernel and framework have changes in webkit code

Some changes in fonts and in etc/firmware/ti-connectivity (bios for wifi module) but unfortunately these are cause of the compiler. Nothing changed -.-

Same at /bin. compiler and date compiled differences.

App:

added: SemcSnpStore.apk
Nothing else...

Other Firmware files:

[strike]adsp.sin and[/strike] amss.sin changed.
some others but probably because it's vodafone variant
and ofcourse changed baseband

Kernel Image:

Kernel Binary changed. Sources are the same so problably it's that webkit/webcore change.

Ramdisk:
init binary changed. (maybe to reflect the changed kernel binary. dunno)

Until I check the framework.jar and -res.apk the only thing needs updating

are the wifi libraries in /system/lib/modules/

and baseband (if it fixes the wcdma/gsm bug)

Very disappointing firmware. It doesn't deserve the 4.1.b.X number change. it's like a .0.597 one...

I hope the baseband fixes the reset wcdma/gsm at boot bug and also the modules bring stability to wifi

[Xperia Arc General] CTCaer:
No. the only difference is in fbmusiclike and that's a change in sha1-digest of it's libstream_core.so library. Which is the same (-.-) with 587.

And btw nothing changed in apps. nothing at all.
