Compatibility

Troubleshooting

* For further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Notes
* Apps used to control headset clicks will conflict with ICS’s lockscreen music widget due to Android’s architecture.
* Please use the trial version to check if Headset Droid works without issues with your phone/headset/player. Uninstall the trial before installing the full version.
