About Headset Blocker

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

Was getting tired of my headphones randomly calling people every time they were plugged in and changing my music. Was so close to tossing it out my car window one time. But i now have discovered this app which is a freakin miracle to my ears :-D

A huge common problem? No fix from Google? No problem - because developers like this exist on the Android platform. This app does exactly what it says (on a mytouch 4g) and fixes my biggest headache on this phone. Thank you!

That's not too strong a sentiment. You cannot imagine the frustration and unimaginable anger caused by Spotify skipping while I was cycling, walking or breathing too heavily. Now I can finally stop punching my phone and threatening to hurt people.

Best app ever. This has saved my life. My headphones called my mom like 10 times and activated voice command at the same time!

This helps so much. I was about to smash my phone into a million pieces because every time no matter how careful I was if I had earbuds plugged in my phone would randomly make dial tones and stop or change my music or other incredibly annoying things. Unfortunately the device won't let you disable this ” helpful feature”, so glad you made this app to fix that.

Blocks signals, but seems to turn on the screen and keep it on indefinitely instead. Phone keeps overheating in my pocket.

so far on my 2.3.3 DroidX. My Android media player would randomly start and cutoff phone calls when using wired headsets. Hope this is the workaround.

Doesn't block anything. It worked for about one week then nothing. Don't waste your time.

I was about to throw my HTC desire hd in a lake before I found this widget. Thanks so much to the maker, I owe you a pint of ale.

Stopped my Desire blipping when playing music. I thought the headphone socket, headphones, or SD card had an issue until I tried this... well happy!

Love this app - was going crazy with headphones calling people and tracks skipping all over the place - app installed all day and not a single issue!

This was the most annoying thing about my Samsung Galaxy S Blaze. I would be listening to a recording and if I stopped my car to run into a store my recording would stop and go back to the beginning. This app keeps bluetooth and headphones from auto start/stopping your media. You just tripled my love from my android phone. BTW, why the heck hasnt google made this auto stop/start feature a native option in Android settings?

Ive had this installed about a week now, and it seems to have helped some, but when the phone switches to thinking I have a headset, it now pauses whatever Im watching or listening to. Better than random calls or media FF or RW.

Nothing worse than music skipping or random phone calls being made by your headphones half way through a set at the gym. Thank you guys, seriously, this is great.

Solved a big problem for me: it disabled the mic on my headset which was activating voice dialer constantly - Avoided a lengthy and risky root procedure. But my earphones work perfectly now after two weeks of noise and constant and unwanted app launches. Very VERY smart app. Thanks a bunch.

This app stopped my phone from randomly opening voice commands and calling people when I was listening to music. Also saved me 150+ dollars because I was about to toss my phone in the sewer due to said issue.

Both of my Droid2s have always auto-launched the stock music player whenever I plug in earbuds. FRUSTRATING!! I have never bothered to rate an app before but this one has relieved a 3 year frustration for me! I still can't believe this is actually working! The Droid2s also go into a music start stop loop once they'd launch the music player, so if I was trying to listen to tunes, it would act like there was a short in the cable. THANK YOU!!
