The only problem I have had with my Nexus 4 which I love, is the audio 3.5mm jack not working as it did on my previous phone. If I plug a cable into that jack, using it to connect to my car's aux audio input, if I get a phone call, the caller cannot hear me. It seems when the jack is utilized, it cuts the microphone volume down so low, that even screaming into the phone, isn't enough so that the caller can hear what I am saying. The only solution if I got a call, was to quickly unplug the 3.5mm cable, and hit the speaker phone button. So it got to the point that if I was driving and got a call, I just let it go to voicemail.
Yesterday I went to Fry's and bought a Gain BXR-100 Bluetooth Adaptor. I just plugged the 3.5 mm jack into this unit, paired it with the phone, and now I have Bluetooth in my car and everything works perfectly. There is a volume adjustment on this adaptor so I can crank up the volume on the call, and there is also a built in mic in the adaptor, so that the caller can easily hear me talking at a normal volume. There are also a couple of buttons to skip or go backwards when playing music from your phone. I just clipped it to a wire tie I put on my sun visor, and it is out of the way, yet the mic is close if I am using the phone. The battery is supposed to last 6 hours, but users report it last longer than that after a couple of charges. I have a micro usb charger that I plug my phone into on long trips, and that also can be connected to the adaptor, for charging in the car.
