iPhone stuck in "headphones" mode

This helped me! I had to talk into both speakerphones and hear my voice on both ends. Once I could do that, I ended the call and it was working again!

Hi bigdalla, I m gonna worship you for this, same happened to me, spilled water bottle ended with a wet phone, the "stuck in headphone mode" was the only damage luckily. Tried everything possibly can be found on internet, nothing worked, your thread was the last straw for me, and I used all the power of my lungs, and suddenly I can hear the music started to play out, I am over the moon now. just want to say thank you, many many thanks. You saved my day!

Hey guys, my iPhone randomly went on to headphone mode and I had to put everyone on loudspeaker when they called me and phone only vibrated, I tried putting my head phones in and out rapidly but never worked so I got my mini brush from my electric razor that you clean it with and after 5 seconds of cleaning the jack out it went back to normal.... **** you debris

OK. Too funny. It worked on my 5s as well. I feel someone owes me money for this unusual act....

I tried all of the above and below but the onlything that worked for me was playing a video on youtube! Hope I could be of some help!:)

I Actually sucked on the port really hard...it took a couple try's but it worked!!

ookay so I've been doing that for like 2 minutes straight. Like inhaling until I couldn't breath anymore But like it won't work. I'll put my headphones in & the headphon icon thing won't pop up & my music will play out loud . my brother tried to put my phone in his mouth so he probably got some slob in it but I need help its killing me

variation on the sucking trick: use a coffee straw/stirrer. I tried for a good 20 times to do this by mouth (ha, ha) and it didn't work. The tiny straw is a perfect fit for the port and worked. Note: my phone was inadvertantly stuck into a cup holder filled with Coke. I ended up carefully dunking it in a little water (since I know that hasn't killed it in the past) then using the straw. Going off the assumption the Coke being sticky as it dries it would need a bit of help.

Tried all the above and did not work. Sprayed CRC QD Electronic Cleaner into headphone hole then rebooted and it worked

This worked perfectly (M Reza). Thanks a lot!

Omg I had the same problem and then I tried your tip and it actually worked. Worked like a charm, thanks 🙂

IT worked for me, thanks buddy

Thanks! This did work,I was lucky i had two sets of headphones!

In case anyone is sucking on their iPhone to no avail, none of that worked for me when my daughter brought me her iPhone with the same problem. I tried plugging and unplugging, sucking and blowing on the port, but nothing changed. At a loss, I tried what should normally be the first step in troubleshooting, I rebooted the phone, and it returned to normal audio function! So before you turn blue (or beet red) in the face trying to clear a physical obstruction in the headphone port, try rebooting the sucker!

Come now, you don't really think that isn't the first thing someone would try do ya?
