Hello,
My quetion is, how do I change a default app? I want to use power amp, but the built in music player always starts. I tried clearing the cache (even used titanium backup as I have root) but no luck. Im fairly new to android but love this phone over my old iphone
Thanks for any help!

Try going to Settings > Applications. Then click the "All" tab and find music and clear defaults for that program.
Tried it. Same result its actually grayed out now

Freeze or uninstall original music app?

Are you using a custom launcher? It might be that you just have a shortcut pointing to the default Music player.
No custom launcher. Im worried if I uninstall that the phone will no longer update. I read on this forum that the update performs a check on apps installed in the system folder. Can anyone confirm this? I would love to uninstall lol.

The default music player always starts when you do what? Click the music player icon?
Since you have Titanium Backup, look for Music and freeze it. Then reboot your phone. The music icon will be gone in the app drawer and it will be impossible to start the default app. If you ever need it again, unfreeze it with Titanium Backup.
Don't uninstall any system apps with Titanium Backup. As you said, problems might arise when it comes time to update. Freezing is fine because you can unfreeze.
If you're talking about the music icon on the home screens, press and hold the icon, you should be able to change what app it opens.
As an example, if I manually click on an mp3 I want poweramp to open but the default does. If I double tap home, the default player opens etc.

Weird, so you're talking about clicking in an mp3 from the Files app right? For me it was also defaulting to Music. After I went to Application Settings and cleared defaults for Music, when I clicked on an mp3 again it popped up a dialog asking whether I wanted to open Doubletwist or Music.
Don't you get that choice?

Negative. I know, very strange

Maybe it's a problem with Poweramp not properly broadcasting itself as a music player. I just realized I have Cubed on my system and it didn't offer that as an option either. Maybe test it out using another app? Doubletwist works for sure. Use the demo to test whether it's an app problem or something else?

I just looked up some directions online, and someone, who also used PowerAmp, said they simply cleared the default and force closed the stock music app, then in the file manager clicked on an mp3 and the phone asked them to select a music player to use... None of my apps have the default selected currently, but I also can't make PowerAmp open when I select an mp3. Weird...
Lol I just installed doubletwist and it now auto launches this instead of poweramp. I reinstalled poweramp, same result. Funny thing is when poweramp is the only player, the icons next to mp3s match poweramp yet it still says unable to open file type..... WTF is going on???

Any ideas?

I think it just sounds like a problem with PowerAmp then...I remember being able to see the Poweramp logo next to my mp3's in the file app, but the guy a few posts above said he had that and it still didn't work. But either way, when I want to listen to music I don't usually open the file app and go look for the mp3 files on my SD card anyway so...so maybe it doesn't matter. Unless maybe the auto headset settings get screwed up if Poweramp isn't default?
Yeah I had the icon but it just doesn't want to load poweramp. My problem is that I want poweramp to replace functions such as the music button in car mode instead of having to add another shortcut for example. Or doubletap home....

So, I was talking with my brother about siri. He mentioned functions like setting the alarm clock. So I tried it on my Evo, and it worked. So does anyone else know any functions Voice Search can do besides the handful Google has said, like http://www.google.com/mobile/voice-actions/.

Yesterday I was trying to showoff the features of our phone to a friend and decided to demo the listen to command, but it didn't launch a song it just did a google search.
I have my langauge set to English (US). I cleared the Google Search application data.
Other voice actions work, likes "send text", "navigate to", "call", pizza, "how old is Barak Obama". For some reason "Listen to" just does a google search.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Is it possible they've stopped this feature in Canada? !

Doesn't work anymore for my Sprint Galaxy Nexus as well. I looked at the reviews in the Play Store and people are saying the same thing. Just last night I tried to demo it showing off to a friend to no avail. I lost hella cool points just then. Looks like I'll have to charge it to the goog.
Has anybody found a solution to this problem?

Looks like this is working now. But the "listen to" playlist name is still not working.
Also, certain songs don't play. It's weird.
Whenever I say "listen to" or "play" any artist or song title, Google Now won't open it using Play Music, it will just suggest YouTube. For some reason though it knows I have the music stored on my phone when you choose to search your phone using the bottom panel (see pics)
Anyone know what would cause this?

I don't think it would hurt to search on Google or Google Play.
Also you don't request an app for these forums, you request one from Google Play, for yourself. You don't request, you ask us to name or give you one. Shouldn't this be on Q&A forums? Maybe I'm wrong, but, I was just thinking. :/
Anyway, I'm sorry, no offense.
Also I don't know any app, sorry. :/
