iphone thinks headphones are plugged in even when not - how to fix
iPhone 4, Windows XP
made a video tutorial
FIX headphone iphone - YouTube
If nothing works, such as q-tip trick, un-plug in and plug in of the headphone, bluetooth speaker trick, the Setting/General/Accessibility/incoming calls (audio routing for newer software)/set speaker, then headset, turning on shazam, activiate siri...etc. TRY THIS, 1) have someone call you, 2) turn on to speaker mode, 3)turn off the speaker, 4) plug in your headphone, 5) un-plug headphone. This should work!
So I had this issue and did ALL the tricks on youtube. ALL of them DID NOT work. But this did work. You can follow all the steps he did but what I did was a bit more basic. I went to Setting/General/Accessibility/audio routing -set speaker.
Then I used gmail to call myself but I'm sure you can have someone just call you. It should answer in speaker mode. (Having someone call YOU is important because I called someone and this did not work.)
When you answer the phone and its on speaker mode hit the home button and go to podcasts or Spotify or anything that play sounds(I used podcast) then while the phone is still on the call in speaker mode play something and you should hear it on the speaker simutaniously as the phone call. then while its playing the audio hang up on the phone call.
This was the only thing that worked. I was so excited that I actually signed up for an account after 10 years with an iPhone just to post this.
Hope this helps.
I know this sounds weird. It works though I put my mouth over it and sucked a Lil bit and I cleaned it first with a cue-tip then I did the other thing and that work for realz idk y
Thank you!!! Your solution was the only one that worked for me!
This just worked for me. I had done a hard reset a few times and tried s few other things but nothing was working. Then I saw this one tried it and it worked.
Hellp
Ima try this cause I dropped mine in clay water
This worked for me!!! It didn't at first but after I restarted the iPhone the sound worked as usual! Thank you.
All I did to fix it was left my headphones in my phone on accident but it fixed it the next day
****! thanks sensei! it works!
I tried to insert things and dislodge the bad but nothing worked!! Eventually I sucked the jack really hard and it worked instantly!!
Thought would try this first before a trying to find something suitable to stick in the headphone jack..after a couple attempts it worked so thanks!! 👍-1F3FD;👏-1F3FD;
This happened to me and I took the end of a q-tip off and pushed the flat end of the q-tip into the jack about 10 times and it started working normally again!
I tried your trick and it worked!! Thank god I just saved $80!!!
