This is an open source project originally intended for use with the now legacy Android 1.6 (donut) release and 3.5mm headphone jack HTC multi adapters on the G1 due to android issue 2534.

Since release, lots of people have downloaded and used this application to fix hardware problems with their phones - specifically cases where the headphones connector detection doesn't work and your audio doesn't automatically switch to the correct output automatically. This has been a surprisingly common occurrence.

Instructions

For install and use instructions please see the wiki.

Supported Android Versions

If you don't see this ap availble in the market and you are running the newest OS it's most likely because it hasn't been tested yet. Since the ap uses deprecated API's and/or reflection and undocmented API's I don't release it for a new platform until at least one person tells me it works. If you'd like to test on your device please send me an e-mail.

Update 2.0 4/4/11

Thanks to Adam King we have a working application for android 2.0 and above. Android 2.0 does not have the headset routing bug found in android 1.5 and 1.6, however several users have e-mailed after their headset routing jack hardware broke and incorrectly indicated the wrong headset state. With the fix from Adam the widget now works with 2.0 and above to manually route to your speaker instead of headset and override the hardware detect. Note: I've limited to 2.3 and below with the market version since this has not been tested on Android 3.0. If you'd like to test on 3.0 or above please e-mail me at danwalkes at gmail.

Update 2.2 3/31/12

The widget can be configured at placement to support forcing speaker routing on startup automatically (regardless of the setting of the headset detect switch). This may be useful if your phone headset jack detect switch is broken and your phone always thinks the headset is connected when it is not.

Also - added support for 4.0.3
