Terrible multitasking with RunKeeper and BeyondPod

First off, I have the HTC One X+ on AT&T.

I run frequently, and when I do I use my phone to track my runs with RunKeeper, and also listen to podcasts with BeyondPod. I have had many issues with my phone when I'm using both of these problems. All of these are intermittent, but fairly common.

Sometimes when I try to turn the screen back on at the end of my run it's unresponsive, and won't turn on for 1 or 2 minutes. Similarly, while I'm running if I try to adjust the volume it will do nothing, and then between 30 seconds to 4 minutes later the volume suddenly changes.
I have headphones that have a pause/resume button on them. When I press it sometimes it will play, but other times it does nothing, and then 3 or 4 minutes later it takes effect. But by then I hit play on my own using the screen, at which point the remote press pauses instead.
When listening to the podcasts sometimes it's smooth, but other times it's all stuttering like it can't keep up.
When RunKeeper reads my stats to me it and i'm experiencing these other symptoms, the stats are read back very slowly, with long pauses between each word.

Behavior like this is making me really think of going back to iPhone next time...Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
It sounds like most of your problems are related to audio playback. I'd recommend trying another podcast application first and see if that helps. I use Pocket Casts and have no issues running other applications (even those that play sound) while it is playing back a podcast.
 
I've been trying a different podcast app but it doesn't seem to have helped. Just today it took me about 4 minutes to get the screen on when I was done running to end the run in runkeeper...
