Nexus 4 - Unable to bluetooth music to another phone

[nexus_player123]

Hi AC members,
I am new to the Nexus 4 Andriod, please can you advise on how to bluetooth music from the nexus 4 phone to another phone? Any suggested apps or stock steps will be appreciated.
Thank you

I had the same problem last week. However I then realized that the option to make my Nexus 4 and the other device visible during 'scanning for device' is set to Off. This make both devices unable to be paired with each other. I would probably check this out first. If both devices are paired, file transfer should not be a problem

Butch, when you turn your bluetooth on, tap the 3 dots bottom right corner and click visibilty time out. This makes your phone bluetooth visible. You will have to search for devices with the other device. Once they find each other and pair, try to send the file. Also, if this doesn't work, let us know the make of the other phone, you can not bluetooth with an iphone to android. If both are android, what version, ICS or JB?

I tried the below procedure as mentioned by you (but on nexus 7, hardly any difference i think):

I could not send songs from 'play music' section. I chose the song, and selected 'Share' option. It shows the Nexus 7 i have has a problem. Also, the phone i am trying to send the songs to, is Samsung android phone. Can you let me know what are the correct steps? Am i doing something wrong?

You can use ES explore to transfer files or even better remotely access files on your other devices. You copy or move files from your nexus 7 to nexus 4 or as i said browse files on your n7 from n4 remotely.

Download file manager from the play store. This will put all your music in a music folder. Go into file manager access your music folder press & hold the file you want to send go to the share option & select Bluetooth, then select the device you want to send it to.
