Description

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.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

2 ★Works perfectly, except for one thing: it doesn't stop working, even if I uncheck the "play through earpiece" option. It only stops working after I restart my phone.
5 ★I love this app may you continue making such apps like this because this app help to my phone and listening to other things such as mp3,videos and more things if the volume is low i love it.....!!!
4 ★Earpiece speaker only come out sound. Why cant i use both?
3 ★Keeps playing from the earpiece after I uncheck the box. I have to restart my phone to use it again. Sometimes goes from earpiece to speakers for no reason.
5 ★It's just simply amazing. It's great for if I forget my earphones since the earpiece on my phone is actually quite good.
5 ★It's super cool app. Only thing is it should have a quick settings tile for switching on and off.
1 ★Seems to no longer works for me after the Android 9 Pie update. And this app was last updated in 2015 so it seems the developer no longer continue to work on this app.
4 ★So the earpiece part is really handy since my speaker is broken. The only thing is, the volume booster isn't working.
5 ★Well my phone didn't had a decent earpiece so I was disappointed. But this app really works✌
4 ★It's used to good, but not work on samsung be au samsung not allow play music when phone call, it think the music is phone call, so it cant play. You need some fix for that
1 ★The app does what it says, except it's broken 99% of that means that volume is always maxed and can't be adjusted.
1 ★Beware! Installing this on a couple of OnePlus devices running Android Pie near bricked both of them. Not sure what was at play, but I did sweat a good bit thinking of just ruined my phones.
