HELP>phone thinks headphones are plugged in?

I was having the same issue with my iPhone 5c. It wouldn't play anything out loud except the ringer. It just kept saying there was headphones plugged in. I tried the twisted up tissue an. It worked IMMEDIATELY!! Thank you so much!

i was out in the snow and I dropped my phone, after many attempts at all of the ways the forum told me to, i tried fiddling around with the settings, and found that by turning the bouetooth off and on again, the speakers started to work again.

That is really interesting. I wonder why that is. Perhaps the reason was because when it hit the wet snow that triggered the headphone connection, then after you cleaned it the hardware side was then solved, but the OS still needed to reset it's understanding of the connection. When the bluetooth was turned off and on, perhaps that was the reset it needed.

I Dropped my phone iin the snow but i tried all of these tecniques and none worked. Please help. Its a new iphone 6

This was very helpful !

Called verizon and they had no idea what was wrong with my phone so i looked it up online and tried everything everyone had on here! The blow dryer worked for me! Thank you guys for your help!!

Just wanted to thank you for sharing this tip, it worked for me!!

If you have spilled water and it has ended up inside of it then I would suggest either getting a hairdryer and drying out the headphone socket or put your phone on top of a radiator as this will suck all of the water/liquid out of it. This works every time for me. Also if your phone has no been near liquids and just thinks that your headphones are still in, get a pen lid that has a slightly sharp edge, then poke it through the hole where the headphones usually go in and it should work again, hope this helps anyone who needs it!

It is a known issue with the 4 and 5. When I had the 5 two months after I got it the phone did the same thing. They had me do a hard reset and that helped for like a day. I had to get another phone.

I also tried resetting my phone. It didn't work. My iPhone 6 fell in water for a bit. I sucked it all out and th trick that worked was I got a Q Tip and took the fluff off of it u till it was the stick and it had a little fluff and put that inside the headphone jack and twisted it for 2 seconds and it cleaned it and right after my speaker and mic were working properly when I made phone calls or had notifications.

THIS WORKED THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙂

Omg thank you for this tip. Spilled coffee on my phone and stuck a tissue up there and it fixed it!

Thank you so much, after a couple of tries this worked
