Comments on Headset Blocker for Android

★★★★★ Yes!! This cancelled the auto voice dial that kept messing up my songs!! Thanks!!
★★★★★ Excellent App My only argument with this phone was the music player and now my problems are solved thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
★★★★★ Huzzah Phone was for some reason constantly saying I had a headset on, and skipping songs and this fixed it :):)
★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work with jb 4.1 After upgrading my evo 4g lte to jb 4.1, headset blocker no longer works. Had to install wiz droid instead, but it isn't as good. Please update to work with jb. Would happily pay!
★★☆☆☆ Didn't work with htc incredible s this app didn't work with my htc incredible s, the icon didn't change to regular headphones instead of the headset, nor did it stop my music from stopping and starting, giving wiz droid (app) a try instead perhaps this app isn't compatible with ice cream sandwich?
★★☆☆☆ Nexus 7 sending false signals Can this app work for nexus 7 jellybeans 4.2.2 please!?
★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work on Xoom Like another Xoom user in the reviews, I get no result when this app is running. Specifically, music auto starts when headphones are plugged in.

Description by Daniel Lew Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Tired of your phone randomly skipping songs because it thinks your headphones are controlling the music? This simple widget allows you to block and intercept unwanted headphone control signals which seem to accidentally occur from time to time.


It does not (and will not in the foreseeable future) support ICS+. For reasons why, see github project: https://github.com/dlew/android-headset-blocker
