iPhone stuck in "headphones" mode

So after trying everything I read from restarting, resetting, unplugging, blow drying, cleaning with a q-tip… still nothing worked. I read a post where someone simply mentioned “iPod". I had recently had my iPhone plugged into my car to listed to music. I had unplugged my phone without actually “exiting" the iPhone mode back to the radio. I went back to my car, plugged back in and properly exited the iPod/music. WORKED… whew

HI guys. to fix this issu which happened to mee as well, i first cleaned the inside of the headphone hole with a small and little bit wet rag after turning iPhone off. I could see many mostur and dust coming out of the hole. After cleaning the hole, i turn my iphone on and everything came to normal. It took me only 3 minutes!

I was playing around with my iPhone jack and tried blowing air in and sucking air out but nothing worked. I then used a q tip and cut the cotton down to a size that fit in my jack. I stuck the q tip in and twisted it out and out came a lot of black stuff stuck to the q tip. I checked and realized the phone had changed to iPhone mode. Hope this helped. (Make sure your headphones are clean before your you plug them in.)

I tried many if not all of the suggestions here after my iPhone 6 got briefly dunked. Finally remembered I had an air can that I used to clean out my iMac keyboard. A couple of short blasts into the headphone plug and VOILA!

Used the in and out method, sucked, blew (sorry this sounds like a 1-900 call), then one hit with a hairdryer directly into the jack. Sound came right back. Rainy day here. moisture, no doubt,

Tried everything that was suggested, ended up going into settings, turning Bluetooth on and then off again and hey presto the phone is no longer in headphone mode and sound is back to normal

I tried the plug and unplug. I then used compressed air and blew into the jack and ear speaker. This fixed it.

I used an air can and blew directly into the headphone port and it worked.

plug in the headphone.

turn off the phone.

unplug the headphone and turn phone on.

the sound works like normal.

Compressed air did the trick for me. Looked like a small piece of lint blew out. Sweet!! 🙂

Try using some canned air while moving the nozzle in and out. This worked for me. I think mine had lint holding the contacts open.

I tried all recommendations. The way I got it to work was to take a can of Duster and blast the earphone jack and speakers. Works like a charm!

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