Solution to Bluetooth Play/Pause Random Re-Mapping - Droid X General

I'm a big beyondpod user on the DX, and I almost always listen on bluetooth headphones. I have consistently had problems with beyondpod retaining control of the bluetooth play/pause button. After the screen is off the play pause button will often launch the default music player. At which point I have to fish out the phone, launch beyondpod and click the bluetooth play/pause button to re-enable beyondpod's control.
I know there are a couple of apps in the market that can set a default app for the bluetooth play/pause button, but I haven't found one that supports beyondpod.
The other day I decided to disable the default music player (changed .apk to .bak) and it has completely solved my issue. Beyondpod has not lost control of bluetooth yet! And now that google music is available I don't have to miss the default music app. I have been searching for a solution to this off and on for a year, and hadn’t until now found a good solution.

Meridian and Bluetooth Headset

Hi,
I install Meridian player and like it very much.
But when I'm using my AD2P bluetooth headset, it launches and changes HTC Music player tracks.
I enabled the "use headset" option in Meridian, but can't find where to disable it for default player.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
I got the same problem.
I tried to disable it with the program Autostarts (paid app)
The buttons don't work if i disable it.
Does anyone have a solution so it works with Meridian.
I also have the problem that sometimes the audio stutters,
and when i play mp3's i hear some variation in the playback speed.
I didn't find any solution yet.
Anybody ?
I have the same problem with Beyondpod and ACast. Dou you have find a solution ?
I tried with default android player..same result: impossible to change tracks.
Only HTCMusic player seems to have this functionnality

Click to collapse
The stutter comes from apps that run in the background, i also hope that it will be fixed in android 2.0. when i close everything with taskkiller it works fine.
I tested Meridian with my headset and the same problem. when i press a button like play/pause htc player starts. maybe it works if you remove the htc player?? but i'm not sure.
I tried to kill HTC Music, and later to delete HtcMusic.apk.
Same results, meridian don't work with headset buttons
I've found the stutter is from wifi being on. It keeps checking and using up resources.
I would love the ability to pause/skip tracks in acast and last.fm. Is this something that may be added in the future?

Headset controls - controlling the right app?

Hi everyone! I use the the headset that came with my Desire to control music while I'm biking to class. Problem is, I want to use Cubed, but every time I press play (or whatever other button) it automatically runs WinAmp. I tried uninstalling that, then it started running Music Mod. I uninstalled that, and now it doesn't run anything.
My question is, how can I get it to run Cubed when I use the controls on the headphones?
Thanks!

[Q] long press volume rocker to skip tracks

Hey guys, I love the feature to long press volume button that is built into AKOP to change tracks however, it does not work with one of the apps I am using called qloud, Qloud basically does the same thing as Google Music (stream music from pc->phone). It has a built in music player and every time I try to use the feature android opens up Google Music and starts playing a song. I think the built in music player is not being recognized as a music player. If I cannot get it to work with that feature I was wondering if there are any apps that could to do the same thing?
Thanks!
It apparently won't work with Google Music or for instance Player Pro (my favorite) either... Should it be working at all?

[Q] Handsfree music control

I am commuting every day and using Waze app for traffic. I also connect my Nexus 4 to the AUX port of my car for music. Since the Waze app is always on, I need to pull the notification bar down to reach the music controls. However, the buttons are very small and due to the distraction it is actually dangerous trying to select the next track. Is there a better way to control the music player in this situation? An app would let me say a voice command to change the song I am listening and so on? Thanks!
Overlays
I haven't found a perfect solution, but I downloaded "Overlays" from the play store.
I use Rocket Player, so I created a profile that overlays one of the Rocket Player Widgets over the Waze App while it's running. It's not ideal, but it's better than me having to drop down menu, similar to yours.
Ideally I'd like Waze to interact with my player so I can use it hands free.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Bluetooth adapter / default music player

I use a Kinivo BTC450 bluetooth adapter that allows me to play music (or make phone) calls through my car stereo over BT. It works great. I have three of these...one for each vehicle.
When I get in any of the vehicles and press the big button on the Kinivo, music starts to play automatically through Poweramp. However, once in a while it will try to start playing music through the Amazon mp3 app but the app gives an error and if I press the Kinivo button again, music starts playing through Poweramp.
Now, there isn't a way to set up a default music player (AFAIK) on this phone. I never told Kinivo which app to use. How does it know to use Poweramp? Why doesn't it use the stock music player (which I've used before but don't anymore)? Why does it try to sometimes use the Amazon mp3 app?
I checked under the Application Manager and none of the these apps have anything set under "Launch by default" so I can't clear anything since the "Clear Defaults" button is grayed out.
I do have a small Poweramp widget on my home screen (no lockscreen is in use). Is this what is forcing Poweramp to be the "default". If so, why does Amazon mp3 sometimes try to start?
Thanks.
