Q: I phone 4 Is stuck in headphone mode
-
Oct 4, 2012 4:32 AMby Glyphis11,I searched this problem for a while and saw queries about 'can't hear ringtone' or ' sound controls don't work'.
I thought the threads about 'stuck in headphone' sounded close to my problem. I recalled an earlier post to do with ipods ages ago and gave it a try... blow hard into the 3mm headphone jack hole.
ok. sounds "wrong" I know, but it worked. instantly all the sounds came back. I wonder if there might be a mechanical switch in there that doesn't reset when you withdraw the headphone.
call me crazy.
like Galileo said.. "and yet.. still it moved..."
cheers

Aug 4, 2014 9:02 AMby bird3815,my phone got stuck in headphone mode too. I tried the hairdryer to no avail. I tried the ear bud trick to no avail. I then just
put it aside and later took tip off Qtip and put inside the earphone hole a few times. Then i put it on dock to charge and heard
a noise. Left it there overnight and this morning its back to normal. Thankfully! I do think this is due to moisture since I had
phone go in some liquid! Hope this helps some ppl.

May 29, 2015 6:53 PMby Patrón,I had the very same problem and tried suction, blowing, q-tip and none of them worked.
Then I tried to press hard the iPhone near the headphones jack and it worked for a copule of seconds.
In that moment I remembered that IPhone fell down that day and realized that probably that was the reason for the "permanent headphone mode" fault.
Then I gently twisted the top of iPhone's frame and voilá, it worked!!!
Hope that this "twisted" and "after-crash" alternative can be helpfull!!!
