[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psyclism:
I have a Motorola H17txt, and I'm running CM 10.1. I noticed that CM replaced the Google Now voice dialer with the older ICS voice dialing app, and I've had little to no problems voice dialing with it. However, if I open search and attempt to do a voice command, it refuses to even listen to the bluetooth headset. I also noticed, before installing CM 10.1, that the stock voice dialer in vanilla 4.2.1 would HEAR the voice command, but it would virtually never get the name or command correct. I'd say "Dial Mary on mobile" and it'd come back with "dial Steve at home".. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Thanks much for sharing this discovery with everyone. I just tried again with my Discovery 975 with wifi turned off, and it worked fine. With some limited testing again with wifi on, the voice commander voice was somewhat broken up.. after two tries, the voice command to call actually worked (to my surprise) and my wife could hear me without my voice breaking up (unlike my earlier experience) -- however, I then looked at my phone and realized that at some point during the BT session, the wifi connection had in turn dropped and it was back on HSPA. When I then turned off bluetooth, the wifi connection was restored.

So there definitely appears to be an issue with bluetooth and wifi simultaneously, at least as far as voice is concerned. Which is annoying, but at least can be worked around for regular voice calls (particularly is useful when on the road/in the car, etc., where wifi isn't needed).

I say at least as far as voice is concerned, because I have recently used bluetooth audio streaming from a wifi connection, and that appeared to work ok -- I know there are reports of audio quality issues for BT, and I can't speak to the quality, but at least I wasn't getting stuttering or dropouts as was happening with voice. A conflict with BT audio streaming from wifi, if present, would of course be a major downer until resolved, since streaming music over wifi to a BT device is such a common scenario. However, the same would of course be the case for voice for those using wifi calling (which I am not using myself currently but was planning to set up sometime soon). If the issue is indeed present in that case (which seems likely), there of course would be no option to work around it by turning off the wifi.

Hopefully Google gets their act together and clears up these problems in 4.2.2.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilgamesh0:
Spoke too soon, apparently. Per the above, it may be that wifi has some impact on the matter, since with it off the quality of my voice is at least improved enough to get voice commands somewhat understood (though I'm still not 100% sure that wifi was on in the past when I couldn't be understood at all). But on my next attempt, a friend reported that I was very difficult to hear, which was resolved by switching to a wired headset. He didn't report severe dropouts as my other friend had earlier.. so perhaps wifi causes even more extreme issues. At any rate, BT voice is clearly still borderline at best even independent of any wifi compatibility issue (at least with my Discovery 975).

Argh. Come on 4.2.2, rescue us from this misery.

The bluetooth stack was changed in Android 4.2. And not for the better. The venerable BlueZ stack was replaced, and there is a lot of unhappiness about that, also in the Nexus 7 camp.

Quoting developer.android.com:

So... it is most likely a software issue. Why they switched to Broadcom? No idea, maybe BlueZ really has an obsolete architecture. But then Broadcom are not known for their open source friendlyness...

Sorry dude I just sent the phone back for RMA... really don't know if it displayed either because I only tried to use it once and it was so bad didn't try again... what I can say is that for music it did display the names of songs but the next track/previous track buttons didn't work...

Just wanted to let you guys know that my issues are kinda of resolved after flashing the new baseband/radio from 4.2.2. Just to clarify, my problem was the fact that the receiving end of my calls had issues hearing me when i was using a BT headset (Plantronics Legend) This was amplified when i was talking to people with the same setup (Nexus 4 + Plantronics)

Anyway, this is what i just tried. I went and downloaded baseband+bootloader + fix sensors bug.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147194

Went into recovery, flashed baseband+bootloader and then flashed fix sensors. Also, i got a question about root permission that needed a fix which i selected yes. After that, reboot and voilà!

Now, the voice quality feels improved but it's still not perfect. However, it is all of the sudden acceptable which is good enough for me. Ohh, and btw i am running CM 10.1 nightly.

Anyway, please give feedback if this helps you as well. I would like this confirmed.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickR:
I'm having issues as well connecting my Nexus 4 to my Ford Mondeo Bluetooth Handsfree, connects for a few seconds then disconnects, then connects then disconnects continuously. It read the phone book once after I rebooted phone then stayed connected for a little while. Next time I used the car same old problem. I've only had the phone 3 days, very annoyed about this as I can't be without Bluetooth Audio in car. I'm having to go back to my iPhone! I'm on JB 4.2.1.

The N4 is all boxed up and ready to go back to Google, Could 4.2.2 solve my problem?

Its good to see 4.2.2 has resolved your problem, what was your issue in the first place ?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BorisZX6R:
I have flashed the 4.2.2 factory image and for me the same issue persists (I did get the update, but I always like a clean install just to be sure that there are no glitches).

2013 Honda Accord - Bluetooth connects but then keeps dropping the connection and it is unusable. I would love to use the Bluetooth connection to stream audio and to be able to talk without using my hands to hold the phone...

Same thing was present with my previous phone the Galaxy Nexus on 4.2.1 and with Nexus 4 on 4.2.1 and now on 4.2.2.

It all works fine on my wife's HTC One S (Android 4.0.4)

Not even sure if Google ever acknowledged that there is a Bluetooth problem, and so far I am very disappointed. Brand new phone and so many things suck... rattling noise (which according to Google is by design), no more true 16:9 ratio, Bluetooth not working even after update, overheating when using navigation and I am sure there are more issues that I am not even aware of...

I don't think it is hardware related, but the software fix should have been in place a long time ago. (The phone is technically available since mid November 2012)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdatastic:
my issue was that with 4.2 and 4.2.1 bluetooth would connect ok, and i could play music ok, but phone calls were silent. they couldn't hear me and i couldn't hear them. didn't have this issue with my nexus s on 4.1.2/JZO54K.

It's all good now though since 4.2.2
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilgamesh0:
Just got the 4.2.2 OTA yesterday, and my experience so far seems somewhat like the above (with one extra detail). In general, for me earlier, it wasn't as much an issue with what I am hearing -- which maybe wasn't and might still not be great, but can't say for sure, as I've been less focused on that than the more obvious problem, which was my voice coming across so badly that voice recognition would fail and friends reported barely understanding me.

Now with 4.2.2, called the same friend I spoke to during the last experiment (the one with/without wifi), and he said I sounded ok -- not great, but acceptable, better than before, no problems understanding me. So already a clear improvement.

I then remembered the apparent wifi complication, and called him again with my wifi turned off (it had been on, though not connected to a network, as I was in my car) -- and he said there was a clear further improvement. While the earlier call, he said, was a bit droney/digitized sounding, that now was gone, and I sounded definitely better.

So my conclusion is that there does appear to be an improvement BT voice in 4.2.2, such that in the few calls so far it has always proved to be at least acceptable (which was definitely not the case in 4.2.1); and at the same time, there does still seem to be some detrimental effect on the quality of BT voice when wifi is enabled (perhaps some sort of resource competition issue, who knows).

The latter is still annoying.. it does at least seem now, though, that when that happens, the end result is still tolerable, whereas before it was often unusable. So if I forget my wifi on (or don't want to turn it off for one reason or another), I should at least be able to still get by.

For me, then, it's gone from critical feature almost hopelessly broken, to critical feature still somewhat subpar/having some complications. It's certainly taken much longer than it should have, to my mind, and I hope the BT stack continues to get some TLC (and possibly the wifi in its own right is doing something naughty that needs looking at), but I'm cautiously optimistic that I and my BT headset are no longer SOL.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agershenson:
bluetooth problem still persists...

So... running stock N4 with 4.2.2

Bluetooth calling on Plantronics 975- I can hear the other party clearly, but they can barely hear me, the quality is terrible. Music out works just fine. I know the headset is fine because I've used it for other things and with other devices no problem.

Any ideas on how to fix the bluetooth voice quality issue? or are we SOL on this one?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilgamesh0:
Sorry to hear that.. per the above, mine is at least somewhat improved in 4.2.2.

Have you tried it with wifi disabled? As I also wrote above, that made a significant difference.

This is driving me crazy. Same issue as everyone else. Stream audio fine via BT while on wifi, try to place a call, and wifi drops. Then wifi tries to reconnect, BT is unusable,. The call just goes silent. Ive tried different roms, radios and kernels. All same result. Love the phone but its my work phone so I need it functioning, and would prefer to have it jump on wifi rather than H+ when I go to work, and home. Quite lame.......

R: Nexus 4 - Voice over Bluetooth issues (probably just a 4.2.1 sw issue, or not?)

The only problem i have with the N4 bluetooth is the battery drain. With the SGS3 was like 0 when paired to my car. Seems the N4 is not using the low power mode and drain much more battery then my old SGS3.

Well after a bit of messing about tonight I tried my N4 on my friends Ford Fiesta which has latest Bluetooth hands free and audio. Had no problem pairing and staying connected, the N4 wouldn't upload the address book though which is a pain for some.

I tried again to pair with my Ford Mondeo 2008 but this time cancelled the address book upload, so far so good the N4 and cars hands free is now staying connected! I'm not to bothered about address book being uploaded to car so all is good now for me:)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timsamp:
Same problems

Just upgraded to N4 from a 2+year-old TMo MyTouch 4G, which was a good phone.

What I'm really missing is the MT4G's voice dialing features over BT, which were awesome compared to the N4. First of all, the opening question is just too long. On the MT4G, it beeped and you knew it was ready to accept a call command. Then the N4 doesn't offer any suggestions if it didn't understand your request, all you get is Cancel or OK. And regardless of what I say, for example, "Call Blank at work" it always responds with "Call Blank Mobile?" NO you stupid *&$^#)! CALL BLANK AT WORK!!! is my usual response.

Anyone else notice the same thing?

There's gotta be an app out there that overrides this thing and makes it usable. Seriously, if I knew about this problem beforehand, I would not have bought this phone. I DEPEND on it for voice dialing and voice commands over BT.

BTW, I use 2 different BT devices and have not had any issues with connectivity. (Motorola Roadster and LG HBS700)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshabster:
New Nexus 4 user here, & I think that I'm experiencing similar issues to the OP.

I am currently trying to use voice dialing via Bluetooth whilst using handsfree in my car.

I'm using a Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2 & my bluetooth handsfree kit is a Supertooth Buddy.

I can receive calls OK, albeit that the ringtone duration can vary/cut out. However, when I attempt to make an outgoing call without touching my phone (i.e. pressing the call button on my handsfree kit) I cannot hear the initial "Say call followed by a name or number" or any other error messages that the Nexus 4 outputs. This initial audio comes through the phone's earpiece, but when a call connects the audio then comes through the handsfree kit!

So basically, I can receive call without touching my phone, but I can not make calls without having to physically select a recipient from my phone, which defeats the object of using a bluetooth handsfree kit :(

I never had this issue with my Galaxy Nexus or my iPhone 4S using the same handsfree kit.

Is this a handset specific issue, or an issue with Jelly Bean? If I send my Nexus 4 back to Google I do not want to purchase another phone running Jelly Bean if the issue is across all Jelly Bean devices.

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

Update:

Just tried using hands free calling with the same Bluetooth hands free kit (Supertooth Buddy) and a HTC One running 4.1.2.

The HTC works as it should, and everything comes through the hands free kit. The initial 'speak now' comes through the hands free kit rather than the phone's earpiece, which is what the Nexus 4 doesn't do.

Voice recognition is rather poor: Tried asking it to 'call Mark' but instead it called 'Clock Garage' every single time!

I'm now starting to think that the issue is specific to the Nexus 4 or android 4.2.2

Solution to voice prompts via Bluetooth!

After Google basically told me that there wasn't an issue with my handset, and that the issue must be with my handsfree kit, I decided to dig even further into the phones settings.

Settings>Language & input>Voice Search

Under Voice Search ensure that 'Bluetooth headset' is ticked.

Voilla - Voice prompts are now output via my handsfree kit!

Thank for nothing Google! ;)

The only bug I have is when on a voice call using my Bluetooth headset (Samsung HM7000), it will sometimes disconnect the headset and a few seconds later reconnect. It only does it once while on the call. Doesn't seem to be reproducible. Very weird but since that's the only Bluetooth issue I have it's not a deal breaker for me thankfully.

I put in a support call to return my Nexus 4 as it was useless to me if it could not be used in my VW Sharan vehicle.

I was told to check that I was using Android V.3 which I was.

However I also had my young daughter listening in and she said that her friend had the same problem and it was because she hadn't "imported" her contacts from the sim card.

I looked through my contact list on the Nexus and realised that all the names were almost the same but they were taken from my online email accounts.

My daughter went into my "people" app, tapped the 3-dot icon in the bottom right of the screen and selected import/export, Import from SIM card and ....

I went back to the car and IT WORKED righ taway without any further interaction.

My phone-book came up on the screen immediately I pressed my phone button on the steering wheel and I was able to make my first call in 4 weeks

I don't know if this will be the problem solver for everyone but I hope it might help some of you guys.... it was really stressing me, I can tell you

Good luck!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flame Red:
I came from an Iphone 4 and have Kenwood DNX99x0 installed in two cars. I tried using Pandora with my kid's ICS phone and it worked perfectly so I assumed it would work with Note 2. NOT.

Apparently, Note 2 has a newer version of Bluetooth version 4 which the Kenwood cannot handle. Contacted Kenwood tech support and no help. They will not support it as the force you to upgrade to their newer models - Kenwood sucks in this respect. They are busy fighting with Crapple's new connector too.

If you use the "bluetooth" audio setting on the radio, Pandora will work but you will not see any album art, not be able to change you stations, but will be able to pause and play from the radio.

What I ended up doing to get the radio Panador interface working is connecting my old Iphone 4, refreshed with new IOS connected to the old Kenwood Iphone cable with WIFI turned on in airplane mode. I have the wonderful new ROM that let's me wifi teather so the the old Iphone goes through the Note 2 to connect to internet and Pandora works perfectly. I am sure you could do similar with any older phone.
