About Earpiece

Listen to audio books and music through your phone's earpiece when you don't have earphones handy. Boost your audio (Android 2.3 through 4.1 or so only, not working on 4.2.1 or higher), whether through earpiece or through the speaker.

Earpiece is a simple, light-weight audio-control app.

You can pop Earpiece up on top of another application simply by holding down the SEARCH key.

In the options, you can enable an experimental feature which switches the phone to speaker phone when it's away from the face and then back to speaker phone close up. This only works on devices with a proximity sensor, of course.

Another experimental feature is that you can significantly reduce the volume of the camera sounds on some devices. Ensure your local laws allow you to do this.

Earpiece is free and Open Source.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Playing audio at high volumes, especially for a prolonged amount of time, can damage speakers and/or hearing.

Note 1: There is no affiliation between the developer of Earpiece and the developer of Mortplayer, which is the application shown in the background of the screenshots.

Note 2: The reason the application needs permission to read log data is for the camera quieting feature. When the camera quieting feature is active, Earpiece monitors the log for when the camera is about to take a picture and then quiets things for about two seconds. If you are worried about privacy issues, or otherwise curious, you can look at the full Earpiece source code at github.com/arpruss/earpiece and you can build it from source yourself.

Note 3: If you use Earpiece, don't use my Speaker Boost with it--just use Earpiece's audio boost option instead.

After I uninstalled this app from my phone, the volume wouldn't play through the speaker. Now I have to restart it. Should have known, apps with 100,000 downloads are crappy.

My beats on my android was so low but thanks to this app there loud thank you very much????

It works! But the volume boost isn't working but when I tried to boost volume using your other separate app of yours, its works! It's just that Android still recognize the music as a real music not a call. What if you port the mechanism of the Speaker Boost app of yours to this app?

Im on the galxy s8 i wanted front facing speakers so i tried this and it is really low even with call volume maxed.(the vol booster just lowers the vol down)

R70%
by R####:

Very nice. Very handy. A possible improvement would be an option to pause audio based on the proximity sensor. Others would be more convenient on/off options such as proximity based, hardware button toggle, and/or notification bar toggle. I would buy a pro version of this with just a bit more configurability and polish.

very cool app. i don't have to flip my phone back and forth and also it acts like HTC style speakers as in front-facing speakers. one thing I don't like is volume button changes call volume, that's not a big deal to me I can just hit the gear icon and change media volume.

Ive used this apps when im using galaxy s4 which running well on kitkat. And then after i updated it into lollipop it started to show "unable play during call" issues. And it still showing me the same condition on my new GN4 and S5 device. Does anybody know how to fix it? Thanks

The app does it's job. 5 stars. btw love how it takes advantage of the search button like that. Nice and quick way to bring up the menu....Although, of the three devices I tested it on, one sounded kinda corrupted, Wish there's a fix for that.

When my speaker broke it allowed me to reroute the sound through the earpiece. Now I finally have sound again! :D HTC EVO LTE 4G

Y70%

While it works in theory, it doesn't work reliably. It has hung my podcast catcher and audio sometime goes out of speaker instead of earpiece with the earpiece mode is set. I have not found a way to change the volume of the earpiece audio. It's far too loud, making me take the headset away from my ear. It is often being heard by other people in the same room. There is an option to turn off the screen through proximity sensor, which is not exactly what I want out of this app. I want this app to toggle the earpiece mode when I put my headset up to my ear during media playback. I can turn off my screen myself. There are advanced options that can only be accessed when the volume boost is on, which is inexplicable to me. These options can actually be locked out by disabling the audio boost in this allegedly secret menu. Overall, I don't like it. I wish I could find a better app for this function. I wished this app was made better.

Works opposite and doesn't get any louder than normal volume anyway. If I increase the percentage bar, the volume actually gets quieter? Uninstalled.

by L####:

Best app ever to raise your volume past the limit. LG k7 had low volume and I was trying to figure out a solution. All the other EQ's didn't work out there.

When you stop it you need to wait about 4 seconds i turned it off then the sound was still on the earpiece but then it went back to normal

Perfect app. I watch tv on my phone often, can never hear the rear speaker without holding my hand by it to reflect the sound. Now I hear it perfect on the front speaker.

It is an excellent app.just could you add the option to play the music song from both phone's main speaker and front ear speaker at the same time...that would make a surround sound quality possibke

H70%
by H####:

Is there a way to enable both speakers at the same time? I own an HTC One which has the ear speaker and reg speaker on the front. Just a suggestion, but could you add a feature like that?

Q70%

The boost seems to only remove bass and treble of the sound. Not really raising the volume.

People complaining of low volume can use Dolby Atmos an 3rd party sound tech,you need a rooted device to install Dolby Atmos,try it your ear piece will sound like your rear speakers just like Moto phones.
