I've just bought the fab iTech BlueBAND set of bluetooth headphones, and have got them working with my JAM with the new BT stack plugin.
The quality is a bit dodgy though...
I know the popup message says it's streaming at 192Kb/s, but while most of my songs are encoded at 160Kb/s (which sounds relatively great on wired headphones), the higher frequencies in particular have a lot of static-like distortion through the headset. It's not unlistenable, but not really that good either. It is digital after all! So I'd expect it to either play perfectly or cut out completely.
Does anyone know if there are any reg settings to fix this? Or does anyone else use the same or other headsets and experience distortion?
Please let me know,
Cheers,
Joe
Your issue is not limited to the phone, it appears to be an input clipping issue with the BT A2DP input. It's touchy.
Right now, I'm listening to 192kbps mp3s out of my computer with a Macsense BT-100 (Class 2, v1.2, USB2.0) running the BlueSoleil 1.6 BT stack, and a pair of the new Moto HT820s, and I get that "crunchy" high end like you're describing (or at least what I think you're describing). The only way I've found to correct this, is to lower the actual input to the BT. Not sure how you can go about that with your setup offhand, but with Windows it's just tweaking the Wave volume down a little bit.
Hope this info has been of some usage to you or anyone else having this issue. Oh and I was having the issue with the HT820s and a co-worker's Bluetake BT009x (Another Class 2, v1.2, USB2.0). Again, resolution was turning down the Wave on them, and I was all set to go.
Just a fun off-topic sidenote: The HT820s with a BT adapter running the BlueSoleil stack, allows control of winamp's next track, previous track, pause, and play functions using the right earpeice's multifunction and skip buttons.
EDIT: Wave @ 50% and the crunchy sound is gone except where expected with clipping from far far too much audio being mashed together.
Thanks for your idea, looks like we need to just find a way to lower the output volume from the streaming software to the headset.
Does anyone know if this is possible through a regedit or anything?
I'm also looking for a program that will toggle the 'stream audio to bluetooth headset' in the stack extension. Then I could create a shortcut to it for wisbar desktop like with the CicleBT program.
I'm aware that viJay has made software that does this for WM5 but not for the magician's cambridge A2DP extension.
Hope that made sense!
Send me over a copy of the software/stack and I'll try to look into it, if you've got it at hand.

Good news...
I switched BT adapters, I got my ISSC adapter in the mail today and have been putzing around with it at work and at home, and found this out. It works great, has great distance (I got 30m out of it with a wall between myself and it, and it's only marked for 10, while the CSR adapter that I had before was marked at 20, and couldn't even go that far without breaking up to almost nothing in line of sight.), and isn't crunchy with the high-end on the audio! Maybe you can check your XDA and see what chipset it uses, and possibly opt for an ISSC based one instead of CSR-based? Better yet, i'm going to start a new thread asking people to post up the chipsets in their XDAs and other BT devices so I can compile a list of chipsets and how well they work with certain data-intensive protocols such as A2DP and File Transfer.
More info: CSR stands for Cambride Silicon Radio, and ISSC stands for Integrated System Solution Corp.
That's interesting!
I've managed to get about 15m distance with line of sight between my Jam and iTech headset, but only about 8m with walls and floor between them.
I suppose this tells us that it's either the chipset itself or the coding of the stack that is affecting the quality/volume and causing the clipping.
As I use Wisbar Desktop I didn't like permanently having the notification icon displayed so i renamed the btAVPgui (cant remember exact name of the exe) in the windows directory to get rid of that popup interface. Now I just turn the streaming on and off in bluetooth settings. Hopefully vijay will find a way to create a shortcut for that!
I'll be looking at it ASAP - still updating old stuff though, but I'm working on some very funky new stuff too, and Mrs Vijay555 is limiting me to 30 mins a night (programming, not other stuff!)
V
Cool, thanks.
I have some programming knowledge so if there's any pointers you could give me to figure it out myself, please pm me!
Those cold walks to college every morning are much more fun if I don't have to take my gloves off to get my music playing!
joehood:
What does the screen look like? You said there's a bubble in the bar at the top?
Frankly, the easiest way to tap it would be to use a Mort script. I have one set up to control the volume - just emulate a click on the top bar, eg (180,5) will approximately hit the volume icon (from memory only!). Set this up with a shortcut, and to quote futurama, "Pow".
Forgive the old screenshot, I'm at work:

Icon in claunch near bottom left will click the volume icon and permit use of the dpad to control the volume. No screen taps required.
Could you do the same for your bluetooth?
Either way, a programatic solution would be nicest, but hard work, no doubt. But I'll try to investigate.
V
OK I have the exe that creates that popup notification with the button to enable or disable A2DP streaming depending on its current status. Is there any way I can find out how it's changing the status? I've looked for a registry setting but couldn't find anything. Where else would the setting be stored?
I am amazing I am amazing...............etc
Woohoo!
I've done it!
It was a regkey after all. Found it by looking through the .unload file that CSR create in the windows dir.
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev
Then 'streamOn' is obviously activating streaming
'automute' self-explanitory
and I'm guessing showConnStatus controls the status notification.
Now... is there an easy way to create a programe which toggles the registry value? Please let me know how to programme changing DWORD values.
joehood: these things aren't usualy just a registry entry, but certainly could be.
I think mortscript can change registry entries. Try that first, and if it does or doesn't work, we can consider writing an app to do the switching if necessary.
V
I just got home and wasn't thinking when i wrote the first post, now to edit it and make myself look a lot smarter.
On windows, there is default support for .REG files that integrate into the registry and make changes on the fly based on the contents of the file.
Example:
Filename: ShowConn.reg
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
streamOn=DWORD:00000001
automute=DWORD:00000001
showConnStatus=DWORD:00000001
When this is run, it should set streamOn to on, automute on, and show connection status to on. Make another like this with the name HideConn.reg and change showConnStatus=DWORD:00000001 to DWORD:00000000 and that should turn it off. Just run whichever one, keep them in a folder and keep a shortcut, have fun switchin.
Of course! haha
I did write a little mortscript file for it last night anyway, this one toggles it on or off, but doesn't change the show connection status or automute values. Personally I hide the notifications icon in wisbar because it was permanently there before. I'm using btp_audio_ui again to confirm that files are streaming, but currently have no way of telling the status of A2DP without trying to make a sound.
I didn't bother putting the automute function in because I leave it on permanently, no need to have both sound sources really.
I'm getting VS2005 so I can have a play, will try to design a bluetooth manager program which has large fancy buttons for turning on/off the most useful functions.
The more we can get these things performing like real phones the better!
Next step: to find out how to play WMV audio through A2DP!
joehood: are the registry changes dynamic? Ie, when you incorporate your defined registry settings, the streaming/mute etc happens immediately?
V
yep!
Cool. I guess I can build them into VJVolubilis as well if you want.
If you've got a bunch of them together, PM them over.

Can anyone send me a bt stack with stereo support, recived my plantronics 590a today. Thanks
Oy...
Get BlueSoleil, make a new thread or search the forums next time though. I'm almost ready with my thread I hope to get Stickied with info on the software and chipsets for bluetooth.
So what you are sayin is that BlueSoleil works with WM5 to get stereo or what?

I've posted steps on other threads on how to create custom startup/shudown screens and also how to add startup/shutdown sounds for the Excalibur, but i thought i'd just create a .cab that can perform the same steps. Anywho, what this does is this: You still get the same first 2 startup screens you see when you turn on your phone, this will allow you to see a third splash screen when your phone starts up and also see a splash screen when your phone shuts down, as well as startup/shutdown tones too! It really doesnt make your shutdown/startup sequence but a couple of seconds longer and it adds more flare to your phone ( which most of us want)
Included in the .cab are all of the regedits, alond with my own startup/shutdown .gifs, my own (vista) startup/shutdown sounds and a additional (required) file called oemstartup.dll which i extracted from the t-mobile ROM. Let me know what you think.
Update: In addition, you may also want to add you own startup/ shutdown sounds & splash screens for your own pleasure, just make sure they are labelled (startup.gif, shutdown.gif, startup.wav and shutdown.wav) and they are dropped into the /windows directory . Lastly, make sure the .gifs you are using are 320X240.

there may be one of two keys that are still in existing registry folders that may need to be deleted. I dont know how to create a setup.dll to remove existing registry entires yet.
go here in your registry:
HKLM--> System-->Shutdown --> 1 and see if you have any other values besides "Dll"
HKLM -->System-->Shutdown --> 2 and see if you have any other values besides "Splash"
also....
HKLM --> System --> Startup --> 1 and see if you have any other values besides "Dll"
HKLM --> System --> Startup --> 2 and see if you have any other values besides "Duration" and "Splash"
If you have any other values inside the "1" & "2" keys from startup and shutdown, then delete them. After that, soft reset your phone.

Sorry to threadjack my own thread, but seems silly to post another thread for a simple ( i think) question. Is there a way to have an icon displayed in the iconbar for bluetooth stereo (headphones) using rinku iconbar? I've never seen one appear, although my headphones are connected. I know there's a headphone icon for wired headphones, but not one for bluetooth headphones.
I imagine there are different icons for wireless stereo and for headset. When my bluetooth car headunit connects to the phone, I do get an icon that resembles an over-the-ear bluetooth headset.

Yea, but what about bluetooth headphones. Curently, one doesn't exist. There's one for bluetooth headset (looks like a motorla HT850) and the other is a headset (non bluetooth) icon for headphones. and that one works when using wired headphones. I wouldnt even mind that one popping up when i have my jabra 620s Bt Headphones connected (or even the other regular bluetooth headset icon) but no icon besides the bluetooth icon appears when bluetooth stereo is actively being used. ( one exception is if you device has both bluetooth headset and bluetooth stereo, it will show the bluetooth headset icon, but you get nothing if its only using bluetooth stereo)
God, rapidshare has gone to **** verifying.

Skype 3.0 beta for Windows Mobile integrates two big features from the desktop version--file transferring and SMS. Both are welcome additions that bring the mobile VoIP application much closer in line with the newly updated desktop version, Skype 4.0 for Windows.
The SMS feature has been seamlessly added as a shortcut icon on the contact list page (it's the black circle encasing a tiny cell phone), but you can also initiate a text message by selecting "Send SMS" from the Menu options--the cost will come out of your Skype Credit. The file transfer feature is a bit more buried. To use it, select "Contact Options" from the Menu choices, and then "Send File." This will incur a data charge, so it's best to have a data plan in place before going wild with transfers.
As soon as you ship your image, song, or document out to your buddy, a new tab opens in Skype for Windows Mobile 3.0 beta that keeps track of the transfer and lets you know when your contact has accepted the download. File transfers work both ways, of course, so you'll be able to accept files sent through Skype while you're on the go--crazy photos and important business documents included. File transfer worked without a hitch over our 3G network, as did SMS. Wi-Fi will make them even faster.
After SMS and file transferring, the next biggest change is a technical one that most people shouldn't notice--the fact that you won't have to decide between downloading the version for Windows Smartphones or for Pocket PCs. A single one-size-fits-all download makes installation blissfully brainless. In addition, the beta has undergone a few understated, but useful changes to its layout, like being able to update your status, add hyperlinks to chat messages you may have missed, and the option to buy more Skype Credit.
I installed a older version of skype on my xperia. But, I cant get the voice input working on my headset. I must use my phone's mic to talk.
Is there someting i can change to use my mic on my headset instead of my phone?
Thankx
wont be long till they release the x1 panel version. (a panel is out in beta but does not seem to work at mo). i heard some panels are coming out tomorrow
Can anybody help me with my problem about the mic input on the standard headset. I cant seem to use the mic. on the headset with skype.

download the attachment and extract audioswitch.exe to your device\Program Files\new folder(any name you like)
copy audioswitch.exe and paste a shortcut at window/startup
Now you can forget your headset...
Thanks, but thats only for the audio output right? I need to know how I can use the mic input. Tried it with audioswitch but that only regulates the audio output.
If we install new beta Skype so do we need to install Skype panel?

Does it work when you make a normal phone call ? does the button works to hang up or activate voice command ?
Me and many others have the problem that X1 recognizes Headset as just earphones (whit no mic), a workaround is to plug it in while a call is placed , then it will work fine , until you unplug it or soft reset. you could test it and write back here ..
Call any one and while speaking connect the headset, now hang up and make a skype call
Shwan_3...
I haven't tried it. Last monday I returned my X1 becouse I had nothing but problems with my phone.
They sayd that the copper plate in my headphone slot was damaged and my phone kept saying that there was a headphone jack in the phone. So when i wanted to call someone i had to une my headphone :S. I hope I get my X1 back in a couple of days (they sayd 2 weeks).
It's to bad, becouse the x1 is a sweet phone! Now I'm back to my Samsung G600
Crap!
Just got my x1 back! I had to wait like 6 weeks! SonyEricsson has a terrible service center here in Holland. They had to wait for 4 weeks untill the parts came in. And the sad part is, its still busted. Cant make a deacent phone call.
Pff....
when skype will have videocalls?
Skype cab file
can anyone share skype PPC (cab file) skype.com no more have windows mobile downloads.
Skype 3 is on this forum:

Just install over existing Skype and will be used in Panel as well !!
Skype New Message Notification
Does anyone know which registry key make Skype new massage notification ?
can anyone post a download link for a working version of skype for x1?

SciLor's GSensor Control is a tool for converting your Gsensor in a Dpad .
Choose from to modes: Analog Emulation or Digital Pad.
Analog Emulation sends the more keystroke the more you tilt your device
Digital Pad just holds the button in the direction you tilt it. If you put your device flat again the button is release.
You will know to be able to press enter by pulling your device up.

You will need .NET CF 3.5 (and a device with a g-sensor of course) - Link at the Bottom
This is a g-sensor d-pad emulator. Just tilt your device for sending up/down/left/right/return.
For sending the return button just pull your device upwards.
-Analog Emulation tries to send the more keystrokes the more you tilt your device
-Digital Pad sends just holds the "button" as long you tilt your device in that direction
You will always have to run the application to make it work. There is not background process (yet).

Wow, this is quite innovative. Gonna try definitely.
Nice but can I suggest something?
I completely agree, this is what button less devices need. I can't believe there are no proper working versions of tilt scrolling are available. G controller and D pad seem promising but are not really getting far.
As far as I can see you only need two things to get this working great.
1: Device centring so it can be calibrated to a normal holding position for neutral.
2: Maybe a map to a button to pause it - so, for instance, hold the volume button so stop it scrolling once you are where you need to be - or the other way round - press a button to un-pause it and allow scrolling.
If you could get it to emulate finger scrolling - like moving around a webpage or document - that would be awesome.
Good luck - someone's gotta get this working
Nice ideas, I will take them into account Feel free to post future suggestions in my Forums so I can better keep track of them!
tested
I tried this on my Imagio this morning (6.5). Didn't appear to work (I could have been doing something wrong but it seems like a pretty straight forward deal). I tested it on the Total Commander menu and the PHM Registry menu. It did not respond to either of the 2 options.
I tried installing on device memory and storage card. I did several soft resets. I reinstalled. I have zoombar plus installed. that turns your zoombar into a d pad by sending keystrokes- could that cause a conflict with this app?
**EDIT** So I uninstalled both. Reinstalled GSensor. Still not working for me. Looking forward to further development though.
To bad Do you have any GSensor build in? Does other software work that uses this sensor (HDWobble/HD2Wobble)?
GSensor
I do have a G Sensor built in. I have the game Teeter (labyrinth) . Works like a charm.
I will come back to you, if I continue working on it
Brilliant!
I've just installed it on my HD2 (using Duttys HG v0.9 WWE).
The only App I really want to use it in is MS Reader & I can confirm that it works there. However, there are a few enhancements needed before I'd add it to my permanently installed programmes ...
1.) Sensitivity setting ... it's far too sensitive (analogue or digital) ... I'd prefer it if a definite movement was needed, as it is, the slightest adjustment of angle (and none of us are rock steady! ) triggers the app.
2.) The ability to automatically enable or disable depending on which application had the focus (i.e. a whitelist & a blacklist) ... was a bit disconcerting when my home-page suddenly started switching tabs, etc!
3.) Calibration for centering (as suggested by Toggs) ... I definitely don't use my phone perfectly flat, but hold it tilted at all times ...
4.) ?? Mapping of the G-Sensor direction ?? i.e. I'm fine with left-tilt/right-tilt being page forward, page-back. But it would be nice if up-tilt/down-tilt were mappable to something else.
5.) This is 1. & 4. combined ... would it be possible to be selectively sensitive? i.e. set the up-tilt/down-tilt to a low (or zero) sensitivity & the left/right higher?
Thanks for a great addition to my HD2 experience. I'll definitely be donating once it's out of beta!
Thank you for your suggestions. I wil do my best to include that
SciLor
Does nothing here on my Touch HD
What should it do?!
Do I have to start that program to work or is it autostarted after a soft reset?
Should it "simulate" d-pad right button when i do this with my phone?
Doing nothing for me either. I am really looking to try this & spread word about it...Let me know if I can be of any help. I tried both ways but not working..actually nothing happens actually. Using TP2 unbranded with g-sensor enabled.
Nice, gonna try this.
btw. why are you giving me the finger in your readme

Yes, that will be great. For now its to much.
Maybe its nice idea to measure the curent state (position) of the device and use that as 0 position (starting) for G-Sensor every time we starting this software
I will do my best to give you a nice experience. I am currently planning that you can set up a standard behavior and you may also set special behavior for applications. You may choose if the GSensor should be calibrated on the programs startup automaticly, you may pre calibrate it for the application only or use the standard you set.
Mhh I hope I find enough time to make that features soon

PS:
What about running it as a process, seperated from the config tool so there is any need of an open window in the background.
I'd love to be able to send audio (FM Radio, Sound player, podcasts, etc) to my mono bluetooth headset.
I have a Scala Rider headset in my motorcycle helmet, and I'd love to hear music from my Galaxy while riding.
I found "Super BT Mono" in the Android Market, however the free version doesn't seem to work. It doesn't do anything other than show an icon in the notification bar...
So, is this even possible?
possible yes
quality will suck
back in the old days, when they did not sell single sided A2DP BT headsets, many programmers created apps to send audio via BT to non A2DP capable headsets.
but not sure if any developer is going to take on the challenge, as it's so easy to buy a single ear A2DP BT headset now in days

I understand about the quality, and am willing to live with it.
With regards to the headset statement, trust me, the motorcycle community will love the developer of this app.
The SCALA RIDER Bluetooth headset attaches to the motorcycle helmet. So we can't just get any A2DP single ear headset. We're stuck with this.

anyone? please?
I'm putting together a simple program that will do this. FYI, it will be Froyo only.
Might be a couple weeks before I can get around to it though. I'm swamped with work at the moment, and I'll be away from home for the last two weeks of September.
It will probably be free on XDA. Might ask 99 cents for it on the market.
That is truly awesome!
I really appreciate it, as I'm sure others will!
I'll put it on my task list but cannot make any guarantee on when I can get started on this.
I'm currently working on a fix to get stereo FM radio, but while working on this I found lots of interesting stuff on all kinds of things audio related.
This is what Im looking for and cant find. The music plays in the ear piece during phone calls fine so seems like it would be easy to fix.
I've been looking for that as well. I used BToggle for 3 years on my WM5 HTC wizard. and was REALLY disappointed when I got the G1 and found... what?? NO BToggle!! so I bought a stereo A2DP headset. but with 5-6 hrs play/talk time = workable but less then happy. then I found, tested and bought Super BT mono shortly after it hit the market and use it alot!! only thing is now I miss the notifications "Pushed" to my non A2DP headsets. and this is what I want.
I think it can be done by changing parts of bluez but I dont know what yet. if anyone can point me in the right direction I'm willing to stumble my way through.
Peter.
running a G1 with CyaogenMod-6.0.0-DS
(I have 2 jabra BT250's, 2 jabra BT2050 headsets and 1 stereo BT A2DP headset)
Sorry, forgot about this little project. Put together a first release today. Find it in the market: BTmono by me. It's free. Detailed post later.
nice app
i tested it on froyo and have the following problems:
*) when using skype, it always changes back to normal phone speaker, i have to start your app again and press yes a few times, to route back to BT-headset again
seems that some actions switch it back to phone speaker
*) microphone of bluetooth headset is not routed yet, i hope this is also possible
but thanks fo the app, i hope it will work fully soon.

Awesome, Thanks! I'm going to take a look at it over the weekend.
My first proposal to it would be to have a small widget allowing to turn BTmono On/Off with a single press of the widget.

Hmm...sounds like Skype is trying to manually set the audio routing itself. Not sure if there's much I can do about that.
As for the microphone, I hadn't really considered that. I was thinking of this as purely a means of getting audio from the phone to the BT headset. Does Skype not work with a BT headset using the standard headset profile?

Ya, a widget is definitely on the to-do list. I need to add that to the market description. I wanted to get the basic functionality out there for now, and then add on over time. I probably wouldn't even have made it if the existing apps on the market weren't ridiculously overpriced, hehe.

Hey all. First I will say that I am NOT the creator of this app, nor do I have anything to do with its development. I am simply sharing it since I found a topic on it on the general Android app forums on XDA and have come to love it IMMENSELY.
Features:
-FULL 10-band Equalizer
-Preamp
-BEAUTIFUL and RESPONSIVE clean interface
-Swipe support for changing songs with impressive 3D animation
-Support of just about EVERY music format known to man WITH equalizer and preamp support on all
-Folders as PLAYLISTs support
-Pretty widget
-Easy to navigate, FAST
Did I mention that if you use it on a Galaxy S device, it can sound VERY VERY impressive due to the Galaxy S having a really high-end sound chip (either the best or one of the best on the market currently). To boost the volume use it in conjunction with Audioboost based on supercurio's audio fix. You can find Audioboost on the market or somewhere on the XDA forums.

As it is not yet officially out, it has not been released in the Market. The player is still in beta. When it's out though, I'm buying it first chance I get and you should too.

Woah, I love it. Proper playlist recognition as well so now I can use my playlist files again.
Great software, but people throw around "best music player on Android" too often without realising that it may be only be the best for their use.
I prefer WinAmp for my use for a number of reasons:
- I don't use an EQ, the GS has perfect sound reproduction, so its really not neccessary
- folder play is irrelevant to me since I have a properly tagged music collection
- WinAmps widget is better IMO, and lockscreen widget control is nice
- PowerAmp lacks LastFM scrobbling
(WinAmp also supports playlists, which is indeed nice, hopefully one of these two will support browsing/playing by Genre soon, but for the meantime I have playlists for each genre as a workaround)
Thanks for recomending PowerAmp!
Top player very easy to use and nice interface, i had to look for a new one as Player Pro started giving me lagging headaches, too bad i cant refund now
+1 if it can be used to equalize ringtone as well~~~
nice, but still prefer winamp because of one thing: playlist sync.
i don't wanna have to make my playlists on my phone. i'd rather make them on my pc and sync them to my phone.
hope the dev integrates that function, and i'll switch.
installed the app to check it out and it's reading the playlists from the music i synchronized with winamp. looks like i'm switching after all.
Song lyrics
Is there (or will be) any built-in function to search lyrics?
Alternatively, how can I display lyrics file (.lrc) into the application?
Great application, anyway.
This app is specifically listed as supporting WMA files, but it does not Does anyone know of a good music player that actually plays wma files?
new build available with lots more features added including more widgets, lockscreen widget, skip control from wired mic button etc....
New build 113 definitely is nice.
too bad this version will expire in a couple of weeks.
And strange, most (but not all) of the album arts (I named them AlbumArt.jpg) are not showing on the play screen in this built. build 68 worked just fine.
anyone got similar experience?
any solutions?
i already tried "clear albumart cache and reload media"
Sound @ max realy sucks bigtime, really don't get it i didn't even use a EQ but the basses where destroyed and even if i turned down my carradio the basses still sucked so the phone just destroys it... (3 days ago,uninstalled immidiatly because i ain't gonna listen to **** )... It almost looks like the sound @ max in powerAMP is equell to 200% the loudness of stock player. really annoying!
Wil try i later on maybe it was a bug but i got it and my roommate with his Desire had it to
The app is very nice, with the right settings it gives a great sound quality.
jaapschaap - you have to adjust to Bass Tone it gives too much bass, try my settings, but don`t change the volume from the app button, it has a bug, when you touch it it increases the bass tone to max although the bass tone button stays in the same place, you have to touch the tone button in order to restore it.

Lol that's crazy nut true i quess I will try later because i like an EQ and the resume on mini-jack connect...
Hope the bug will be fixed soon!
Thanks for the info...
Grumble grumble, doesn't the DAC inside the galaxy s have a hardware EQ? Is there any software available that actually uses it, not just software EQ?
Its supposed to be a five band parametric, if my memory serves me correctly.
I am using powerAMP to listen music. When i want to change next song with my bluetooth earphones, Musicplayerpro appears and both of the two players begin to play. if i uninstall musicplayerpro it is okay but i want to keep both players in my phone.
When I reconnect my headset the app automatically launches, Is there a way to prevent this ? I dont want unecessary applications launching automatically and wasting resources/battery

I believe you can change that in the settings for PowerAMP (under Headset Options).

Find the option in Musicplayerpro to turn headset controls on/off and turn it off. With Android it appears that you have to turn headset controls off for all music players except the one you want active otherwise you'll get the behavior you described.

The only options we have there is pause when disconnected or resume when disconnect, theres no option that says dont auto launch the app.
Build 204 (available in Market) has the option to "Resume on Headset Connect".
