rather than leaving a rating and comment. I cannot contact you and try to help based on the comments.
This APP (with a service) allows you to:
- Wired Headset detection - ALLOW or IGNORE the headphone/headset plug in/out detection.
ALLOW it so that plugging a headset in or out will automatically set your phone to use or not use the headset.
IGNORE will cancel the plug in/out event and is mostly used for those with phones that have a faulty headset jack which can cause the speaker and earpiece not to work.
- Wired Headset microphone - DETECT or IGNORE that a headset has a microphone when plugged in. Only used if the headphone/headset plug in/out detection is set to ALLOW.
- Notifications to Speaker - Allow notification/alarm sounds play through the SPEAKER as well as the selected media audio setting. This setting can be unchecked so that notifications/alarms only play through the selected media setting.
- Media Audio - Route the media audio to (External speaker, Wired Headphones, Wired Headset (with mic), Earpiece, Aux Digital(HDMI), Bluetooth(A2DP), Bluetooth(mono), Bluetooth(mono)(dynamic), Dock(Analog), Dock(Digital)).
Media audio includes music, notifications, alarms, ringer.
(Bluetooth, Dock, Aux Digital(HDMI), and Earpiece are enabled for the PRO VERSION only)
MUSIC and NAVIGATION can be routed to Bluetooth (mono) on most phones, but not all.
NOTIFICATIONS CANNOT be routed to Bluetooth (mono).
BLUETOOTH(mono)(dynamic) - Will only send audio to the Bluetooth device when it detect audio is playing. Great for sending to a car's Bluetooh phone profile while the car radio is in use. It stops the radio, plays audio, and starts the radio. May not work for all cars and first second of audio could be missed if used for Navigation.
- Phone call audio - (Pro version) Route the phone call audio to (Built in Earpiece, External speaker, Bluetooth (mono), Wired Headphones, Wired Headset (with mic), Aux Digital(HDMI)).
- Bluetooth behavior - (Pro version):
Bluetooth Auto Enable - Automatically enable Bluetooth when Bluetooth output is selected.
(A2DP) Media audio usage - Allow/Deny the connected Bluetooth media device to be the default output for media.
(Mono) Media audio usage - Allow/Deny the connected Bluetooth mono device to be the default output for media. May not work for all phones.
Phone call usage - Allow/Deny the connected Bluetooth mono device to be the default output for phone calls.
(Mono) microphone override - Use the Bluetooth (mono) device microphone for voice input while using audio output set in the Media audio setting.
Disconnect to speaker - Allow/Deny using speaker for notifications(notifications still go to selected media audio output)
- There is a widget named "Headset Toggle" to toggle the Headphones/Headset on or off.
When installed, the first time you run the app will start the background service. It will then always start on reboot.
If music stops when you unplug a headset, this app cannot prevent it. That is the music app purposely stopping so that audio doesn't not blast through the speaker.

- If your phone doesn't make difference between 3-pin and 4-pin 3.5 plug, than this app is for you. My Huawei Honor always thinks that i plugged in headset with mic, even if I plug just headphones. In case of headset plugged-in - you can use headset microphone to communicate. In case of headphones pluged-in internal mic disables and phone has no active mic at all. This app has a setting IGNORE/DETECT microphone. IGNORE microphone setting is suitable if you generally use headphones. DETECT microphone setting is suitable for using with headset. This app is a real cure. Теперь по-русски и попроще. Есть аппараты, которые не различают 3/4-контактные штекеры наушников/гарнитур. Например мой Huawei Honor всегда ведёт себя, как будто я подключил гарнитуру. Даже если я подключил просто наушники без микрофона. Косяк в том, что с подключенными наушниками аппарат думает, что у него появился микрофон на гарнитуре и выключает встроенный микрофон телефона. Это приложение имеет настройку IGNORE/DETECT microphone. При выставлении "IGNORE microphone" можно использовать наушники и встроенный микрофон телефона. При выставлении "DETECT microphone" можно использовать гарнитуру со своим микрофоном.
- My car isn't blue tooth capable so I listen to music from my phone using the headset jack, however, in the past whenever the phone rang the phone audio would also go through the speakers. Without a mic I always had to disconnect the headset and manually press the bluetooth button to get the phone audio to then go through my bluetooth earpiece. Now with this app, the process is automatic, music plays from my car speakers and when the phone rings the audio is automatically routed to my earpiece. After the call the music resumes on the speakers. Perfect!
- I love this app. It does what I always wanted my phone to do, which was to stop sending notification sounds through my headset and the speakers. Now it's only the headset while connected. My only beef it is that the warning notification keeps coming up in the notification drawer. I would love for there to be an option to just disable that notification.
- So there was an update on samsung that broke the app after some troubleshooting with David it is now working fully, this is by far one of the best developers I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with if you like to listen to music off your car with a aux port and take calls here is your app
- YES! Bluetooth is back to working on the SG3. Your app fixed my phone! The new Samsung Galaxy S3 notifications play out loud from the PHONE even when earphones are connected. Super annoying. This fixed that! Great job. Thank you.
- I have a problem with a rooted Tablet and cannot get sound. I contacted David after downloading his app as I still couldn't get sound. David was extremely helpful and even offered additional suggestions. Thank You.
- Телефон перестал определять подключение наушников. Выдавл звук и нп них и на спикер. Используя эту программу переназначил проигрывание медиа на нпушники. Очень удобно.
- My girlfriend bought a used galaxy ace with JellyBlast v3 and ruined headphone detect... Thank you for saving me from all the things i have been saved!
- Can finally use my voice commands again! If only PowerAmp would play when I plug in my headphones it would be perfect! Thank you!
- Had a issue, but the Dev. Fixed the issue for me the very next day. Thanks again for this greatly needed app. :)
