Dec 16, 2015 4:45 AM in response to SoCalSkippyby Max H.,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!

Dec 16, 2015 10:49 AM in response to Jester7677by Max H.,Come now, you really don't have anything better to do than troll the support boards and mock people for simply stating what worked and did not work for them? If that bothers you, you should probably stay off of tech support boards.

Dec 20, 2015 5:38 AM in response to SoCalSkippyby curtdawgity,if you're reading this and you're not sure if it applies to you toggle the "slient" switch on and off, if a grey box pops up saying "headphones" "silent" and you ain't got no headphones plugged in, you're in the right place.
I tried all the solutions on here and was envisioning hellish trip to an Apple Store to meet with a droning hipster with fashionable black frames and maybe a top knot. Luckily the solution was to get a cue tip and work the cotton off with your fingernail, work the end into the headphone port and toggle the silent switch until it says "ringer". Continue life

Jan 13, 2016 10:21 AM in response to chaps2468by Pete_parker,Not sure if the headphones trick worked or not, but I dropped my phone in the sink full of water. Pulled it out immediately and dried it off. Tried several times to do the headphone trick and it wasn't working. Tried it once more and after unplugging the headphones it still didn't work. So I pressed on the home button to talk to Siri without headphones in and the voila! It worked. Guess Siri realized I wasnt talking to her through a headphones mic.

Jan 21, 2016 1:07 AM in response to SoCalSkippyby KatieBart11,I Dropped my phone in the snow and I think some moisture got into my headphone jack, so I read about it and tried alarms, headphone input, resetting nothing worked and i also read that if moisture was involved then waiting over night it may evaporate. So, I sped up the process by showering and closing the door and not turning on the exhaust fan while my phone was the bathroom with me and as soon as I got out, it was back to normal and the ringer volume was activated again! Thanks for all the feedback. Thought I'd lend a helping hand with what helped me. Good luck!

Jan 24, 2016 1:02 PM in response to KatieBart11by Shufflee__,Same thing happened to me. I dropped my phone in the snow while I was shoveling. Went through the forum and did all the suggestions but nothing worked. So I got a q-tip and took off all the cotton on one end and poked it into the earphone jack and wiggled it around. Did it twice just to make sure and my phone is working properly. I think the snow melted in there and the water corroded the pins. Hope this helps someone!
