Description
When headphone is inserted, this widget can toggle your headset audio off, to have the sound come out of your built-in speaker or even connected bluetooth.
An indicator dot tells you if sound is going to come through the headphones when there's media sound playing.
Free with no ads
Branch of https://code.google.com/p/toggleheadset2/ for personal use, with bug fixes...
Removed call detection features and on-boot settings. Supports both headphones and headsets. Playing music to bluetooth when headphone/headset plugged in is now possible.
This app just tells Android to pretend as if the headphone is not plugged in even though it is.
Icon with Android asset studio + Tango icon theme + GIMP
Known quirks:
If headphone/headset is plugged in with bluetooth A2DP attachment, the volume control might be either bluetooth media or the ordinary media audiostream. That's Android getting confused about where the music is actually being played, because this app pulls the rug from underneath it.
If you have a HTC device with a self-toggling headphone jack, the widget will be updating itself too much.
The way this app works results in conditional unpredictable behavior, particularly with phone calls. Hence, this app is alpha and will stay that way.
To do:
Should probably merge this into another app someday, but for now it's useful for various things...
HDMI not tested, don't have the equipment
Currently ugly

1 ★ Very bad. Did not worked with my redmi note 7 pro. Use Lesser audio switch. It works with redmi phones. Restored my audio in no time.
1 ★ Didn't register touch so I couldn't switch from speaker to headphones.
1 ★ I cant make the green dot disappear i taped on the app 1 billion time and its still on headphone mod
5 ★ took me a long time to figure out it is a widget and I needed to press and hold on an open page and then go to widget and go though them until I found it and could move it to my open screen. worked great after that.
1 ★ Doesn't do what it says. May be out of date it is 2020 Google remove this from your app store !
3 ★ My ZTE was showing that I had my earphones in and this app allowed me to use my speakers! It does what you want it to do! Thanks app makers! Update: the app only works when it wants to so i had to install another app. sigh*
5 ★ Always bear headphone mode. Not working phone receiver sound
3 ★ good but I can't click it it just keeps being yellow like If I click it it will just stay yellow not to mention it took me half an hour just to get it on the home screen!
1 ★ my phone got stuck in headphone mode find this app installed it and it would not work I highly do not recommend this app because it did not do what it said it was going to do .
1 ★ Doesnt work for headset stuck on issue for LG stylo 4
1 ★ Spying app. Horrible. Hides on app screen. And dors nothing for your sitiution. Thanks alot.
1 ★ Does not work at all. I followed the instructions on the video and nothing happened. The creators did nothing to make sure the app works!
5 ★ Does the job well with no problems. Simple turning headphone output on/off. No ads.
1 ★ Doesnt work instead grad a cotton swab, take some cotton off of it. Then your going to want to put the cotton swap in the head phone jack and twist it then you should be able to hear out of the speacker without headphones
5 ★ Very nicee app but sometimes didnt work properly
