Toggle Headset 2 is an app designed to correct headset detection problems that some users have reported with their Android devices. Originally, the app was created to correct issues with 3.5 mm headphone jack multi adapters on some HTC devices running Android 1.6 (Donut). Soon after it was released, some users found that it also fixed a variety of audio problems on other devices and Android versions.

If you've plugged in headphones into your Android's 3.5 mm jack and your device doesn't automatically detect them and switch your audio from the internal speakers over to the headphones, Toggle Headset 2 is an app that may help you.

You should first try to restart your phone and check to make sure the problem isn't coming from your headphones. If you're still having the problem, it's likely a hardware issue with your phone. Toggle Headset 2 works by manually switching audio output over to the headphone jack when the hardware detection on your phone isn't working properly. While the app was designed with headphone users in mind, it will also allow you to use a line-out cable or speakers to hear sound coming from your phone.

If you're experiencing audio problems on a new Android device, Toggle Headset 2 can be used as a temporary fix until you get your phone repaired or exchanged. It can also come in handy for those who have an older device that they want to keep using as a media player, but wouldn't be worth the cost of repairs.

Pros

  • Fixes majority of headphone detection problems.
  • Also works with speakers and line-out.
  • Lets older devices with hardware issues related to headphone jack be used as media players.

Cons

  • Doesn't fix issues with FM radio app if phone won't detect headphones to use as antenna.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.

Other permissions

  • MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS: Allows an application to modify global audio settings.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
