iPhone stuck in "headphones" mode

Has anyone ever used www.iphonerepairmiamibeach.com? they're site looks really professional and it looks like they know what they're doing. My phone is beyond all of these tricks. I've stuck so many things in the headphone jack (including ALL the other options), I've stripped the inside of it and it needs to be replaced.

Man I did the Q-Tip trick but it didn't work. I put in my headphones in like 30 times and it didn't work either so I was like: "What do I have to lose?" So I did your trick and I felt liquid flow into my mouth and now my phone works again. Thanks a lot :D

Yes Yes Yes. This is my issue exactly!!! Tried evrything for months, had the headphone jack completely replaced and nothing still. Though I have this big issue overall Apple producs have been good to me so yes I'll probably another Apple POS

...and the beat goes on...Don't feel bad, youre not alone...Us "Old School" Cell guys just don't understand how this industry got so much away from performance and durability being paramount, to selling the look and sizzle. Its like buying a car, not caring about the engine, tranny, crash tests, etc; and only caring about the look and stereo inside...

So I can plug my apple headphones jack in. But the music plays through the speakers of my iphone. But I can still control the volume of the speakers and pause the song through the headphones. No sure how this can be. But is this something wrong with my phone or the headphones? Has anyone ever had this problem/situation before?

Alright, I'm about to pull my hair out. Got the iPhone 5 august 28th, not even 3 weeks ago. And this headphone problem started happening about 2 days after, did the earplug thing and it went back normal for a few days. Then it did it again the next week, i used commpressed air to fix it for a good couple days. Then it went into headphone mode AGAIN, now when i used compressed air or haridryer, it will kick back in for about a minute but go back into headphone mode. I have literally tried every single techinque on here and many various google pages. Nothing has gotten it to permantly stay out of headphone mode. I need major help, what do I do??? Thanks

Hi Allan,

When you had the 'stuck in earphone' mode issue, did you get the volume bars when pressing the volume buttons ? Mine does not have the bars, unless headphone connected.

I will try your method tonight anyway so thanks for the tip.

Omg!!! Two days of struggling with the phone trying to figure out what's wrong & I finally realized that this was the issue. I've tried sucking air(worked for the first try after which it reverted back to the headphones state), cleaning with a Q-tip( dunno if that worked) and then finally plugging & unplugging the earphones every time it showed 'headphones'.

Is someone having a relapse of this problem coz my phone keeps reverting back to the headphones mode. Can someone please give me a permanent solution???

Thanks Shannon. It worked like a charm on my iPhone 5s (less than a month old) !!!

BTW I had tried all other options as people suggested without any help, before trying your solution. Still not sure if it was a software or hardware issue. Hope I won't be facing it again.

Text thing didn't work either......Same no sound problem here....I updated a few days ago. It appears to be a problem with the phone thinking it's in docking mode. That's the only time mine will work. I've tried everything that's been suggested. Cleaning the charging port w Qtips and alcohol, resetting, restoring, headphones etc to no avail. I'm going to ATT this weekend and shove this phone up someone's - well you know!

I dropped my phone in a sink full of water yesterday, quickly pulled it out and was overjoyed nothing seemed wrong, I didn't have a water proof case! My son called me to pick him up from school this am and when I answered (it rang) he could hear me but I couldn't hear him, So phone was in headphone mode, I tried restarting that didn't work but I followed these instructions exactly and it worked! Thank you!!!!

iPhone 6 is stuck in headphones mode. Called Apple Care. Was sent to Verizon. Verizon wanted me to go to apple. When they heard Apple sent me to them they did the thing suggested in this thread. Nothing worked and so I had to purchase another phone. When that one comes in I have to send the broken phone to Verizon for credit. Until then I have to use a headset or speakerphone.

Poor customer service by both companies in my opinion. You're putting me in the back of the line to fix a phone I've had for 1 day AND I need to put money up to do it.

Based on recent revelations of virus infiltration like WireLurker. I am more convinced then ever NOT to download third party software like the one mentioned in the previous post. The tip may be well intentioned, but I hope people do not follow it.

NONE of these suggestions worked for me! 😟 I have tried
1. putting the headphones in and out pretty much 1469 times (both while the phone was on, off, in locked mode, unlocked mode, in iTunes and out of iTunes)

2. cleaning out the headphone jack (with a toothpick, compressed air, q-tip, used a flashlight)

3. rebooting my phone (manually turning it off and force closing it by holding the home and power button)

I've read every article and watched every YouTube video on this problem and NADA has worked for me - someone help please!!

I have tried absolutely everything nothing works! A bit of water got splashed on it so I assume that's what did it. But now it's stuck in headphone mode and I cant hear anything. I tried blowing and sucking, un-plugging and plugging in headphones, turning of f and on my phone, restarting it, having someone call me and turning the speaker on and off and blowing cold air into it from the freezer. NOTHING WORKS sug. I'm very annoyed and worried it's unfixable. Does anyone have ANY other suggestions?!?!?
