Q: iPhone 5c won't recognize headphones
I just bought a refurbished iPhone 5c. It's on iOS 9 and I've had no problems with it so far. Except for one thing.
Sometimes when I put the headphones in, the iPhone doesn't recognize that they're in and will continue to play out of the speakers. This has only happened twice before, once a few days ago, and once yesterday. The first time I just waited for it to come back to working status after force restarting. Today I put a small lollipop stick into the jack and tried to clean out any excess dust that might have been blocking it. After that, I tried to use the headphones again, didn't work. If anything, they made a little scratching noise when I turned the headphones. Should I try to get the jack repaired? I don't know what to do.
