iPhone stuck in "headphones" mode

So i dropped my iphone in my toilet on accident today. I was very quick to pulling it out and drying it off with a towel that was near me. Knowing that there was water making its way inside my headphone jack, charger and speaker outlet, i began to blow the water out of them as fast as i could. As i was Freaking out i went to ft my boyfriend but could not hear it ring nor could i hear him. My phone was stuck in "headphone" mode. I searched this up and began to read the comments. To my surprise and laughter the sucking at the headphone jack really worked!!! For me i had to suck at the headphone jack a fee times yet it still did not work but then i tried to suck on the charger part and it finally switched to ringer. I HIGHLY recommend you try this before taking it to any professionals.

This is going to sound strange...but no stranger than putting your phone in the fridge for 20 seconds. I had same problem. I ripped a small piece of a paper towel off, then twisted it like an arrow/pin...and twisted it inside of my my headset plug/insert. At first the paper towel was black when i pulled it out. Then some black rubber stuck to the paper towel and came out, twice. Restarted..now it works fine.

Hey Bro.

I recently had this problem also. I watched a YouTube video and tried the method.

The method is that

Go to Setting>General>Accessibility>Voice Over and turn voice over on. After That close settings and return to main screen. Now hold home button and say to siri "Turn the voice over off". Hope this will solve the problem if the problem is regarding the Software.

It worked for me.....

iphone 5s. stuck in headphones mode. i was playing a podcast on the speaker, then dropped it onto the shower floor while getting out, so very little water got on the phone (especially considering that i've dropped it into an actual bucket of water before and got it right out with no problem whatsoever). Sound played out loud for a brief moment as I picked the phone up, and then it suddenly went silent, so it didn't seem like it was hardware damage.

Anyway...IT WAS A SIMPLE FIX...I just twisted the corner of a napkin into a pokey shape and twisted it into the headphone jack a few times and like magic everything was back to normal. So yeah, must have been a drop of water in there fooling the contacts. Technically, I risked getting a bit of paper stuck in there, so...use your best judgement in cleaning out the port.

I tried everything for the last 4.5 hours. EVERYTHING. And I'm an Asian chick. This worked like a charm. Thank you B65 for your suggestion of putting the phone in the fridge for 20 seconds. That's all it took!

As I'm about to yell to my brother to call me, I just hear my music playing again after trying cotton swabs, toothpicks, sucking, compressed air, the freezer, and it was just while I was reading your post so thank you! Also my headphones used to not work but now the headphone jack and the speakers work 😀 partially thankful I dropped my phone in the pool.... 😝

I had this problem today. I fixed it by putting the iPhone in silent mode, then I plugged in the headphones, switched off silent mode, turned up the volume a little and removed the headphones. The speakers worked again.

If that does not work then go to settings > Sounds > Then play with The Ringer and Alert sound panel

If you are afraid of being shocked. Then let me just give you a method that worked for my iPhone 5s. All I did was go into Settings > Sounds and then played with that bar that says ringer on it

I

I tried the Q tip . Headphones in and out , speaker on and off but nothing worked . In the end I blasted the jack with the hairdryer and bingo it worked . So relieved. I had answered the phone with my hair wet so it was only a minute drops of water

This really worked ! I did it carefully and rotated it and it did dry it out. Thanks for this !

As if this worked after 20 minutes of faffing, I'm acc crying.

I tried this and still nothing works after I put it in rice and put headphones in and out
