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?
Sent from WinBorg 4G using XDA Premium 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.

Lol now it says unable to open filetype after I froze the music app....WTF
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
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?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
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....

I have no clue why this thing wont let me surf in desktop mode. My home page is set to yahoo.com not m.yahoo.com and even then it pops up as mobile yahoo. Manyof the sites too that i open from desktop mode search open as mobile..... Its annoying. I have searched for a setting to default to desktop mode but cant find it. Any know if there is hope for me? How do i get around this?
In default browser, under advance settings. There is the select user agent
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
The user agent doesn't stick unless you're rooted, so I'm lead to believe. I'm using Dolphin which will let you select desktop from the settings.
Yeah, I use dolphin for pad and the settings stay in desktop. The stock launcher doesn't.

I have the stock on 10.1 so i guess thats an issue i just have to deal with. Im not about to root it or start modifying it, lol, i would do it wrong and for sure render it useless. Thanks.
Just install Dolphin browser from the market.

I just wanna ask...
can TB pro be pirated?
Don't think so, i think it has links to the market on startup to check the license matches your Google account.

On the latest OTA is there a way to at least make YouTube play in the app instead of the Web browser?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I believe there's an option you can set in the build.prop that will let you choose. Unfortunately I can't remember what it is atm because I have been meaning to do the same thing.
I'm able to select it in 'app associations'

yeah,im on Stock with goodies 2.08 and any time i tap on a video for youtube in facebook it loads up in the browser.
Settings > App associations > YouTube link > YouTube
Even after the latest update with YouTube in the app associations the browser still overrides YouTube links in the browser and facebook. I have installed Chrome and made that the default browser in app associations and this has fixed the problem. No matter where the YouTube link is it always opens up in the app now

Since updating my S3 to JB, all YouTube videos open in the browser instead of the app. How do I get them to default to the app instead?
I've tried resetting app preferences, Internet browser, YouTube app and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Had the same issue. When you browse by Firefox, it does the same but in the last instance before playing the video then finally opens it in YouTube player.

You can blame apple for that. It was included in their lawsuit so it was removed from stock browser. Dolphin browser does the trick for me.

Agreed. I also think the default browser is still the best. Don't like that Chrome doesn't have an intelligent full screen mode like Samsung's browser.
Any fix for this yet? Really don't find Chrome as smooth or quick, but need the YT app since the video quality is so much better than the browser version...

how can apple make google stop using its on application? it's like telling apple they are not allowed to use Itunes anymore....
Really hate apple... They think they invented the world..
I bought an S3 just because of this lawsuit. Would buy an Iphone, after the lawsuit i searched more about GS3 and discovered how much better it was :laugh:
Go to settings --> apps --> all --> browser --> clear defaults.
Now go back to a link to a YouTube video and now choose the YouTube app selecting "Always".
