it is a common thing for an old Android phone/tablet (device) to have a damaged home button or other physical button so that when its screen is turned off due to device sleep, there is no way to turn it back on except connecting the device to power cable or charger or USB cable connected to laptop/computer.

This app helps you solve the problem by allowing your Android device's screen be turned on when you plug an headset to your Android device or unplug it. You could also shake your device for around 3 seconds to turn on the device's screen.

Install and open this app on your device, in the app screen, there are several options for activating the detector. You should activate at least one detector so that you can start the service by clicking the "Start/Stop Service" button on the bottom of the app screen.

This app is able to run in the background, It means when you close the app screen/window then do other tasks using other apps, this app still listens to headset plugged, headset unplugged or shake events (while device is sleeping) as long the service is started (running). You can stop the service by clicking the "Start/Stop Service" button on the bottom of the app screen.

Enjoy the fun!

Caution:
there might be some (or many) devices on the market that have same features with features of this app as part of their built-in features.
