I use bluetooth to stream music in my car all the time. With my GNex it was pretty decent quality audio. With my GNote the quality is really bad. Anyone notice this?
I can stream to my BT head phones without issue. Can you try another output source like a headset or demo speakers at a store? If that works out then your BT is probably jacked. return the phone for an exchange before they're out of stock.
My quality streaming in my car is awesome. Seems better than the Gnex.... Try it on a different car/BT headphone and see if it's the radio. Then do what Mr. Smith said if it blows!
I agree. Iphone was much better, however the music was local on the phone. Now i stream from Google music so not apples to apples. Will try local tunes on Note 2 and also wired.
