iphone 6 ear speaker not working

WHen you try to adjust the volume, does it say ringer or headphones on the screen? If it says headphones, something is stuck in the jack and your phone thinks you have headphones plugged in. Speaker will work. use compressed air to clean it. Worked like a charm with my iphone 6 plus. Don't try to stick your headphones in then pull them out; could make it worse. Hopefully this will solve the issue!

even though the volume up and down switch said ringer, i used compressed gas in the headphone jack input hole and it is now working. Since I carry my iPhone 6+ in my pocket, it must get jammed with lint and thinks the headphone is plugged in.

Thank you mutlutimes that worked for me

while headphones are not plugged in, lower volume down to zero & phone registers earphones are not plugged in and works as expected

Long version

similar to others:

• could not hear when you called someone.
• could hear through speakerphone.
• could not hear siri
• toggle switch above volume would show headphones
• used great light to confirm nothing in headphone jack
• phone was purchased about 5 weeks ago and in use up to 1 week less.
• to my knowledge, a headset had never been plugged into the phone.
• headphone jack worked with a headset

What fixed it for me:

• while i was in Settings -> Sound without a headset plugged in, I turned the volume all the way down with the buttons on the side of the phone, and could visually see by watching the ringer volume slider.
• I then turned it back up towards halfway.
• touched the ringer volume, could hear.
• tried siri. could hear.
• made a phone call, i could hear.

How I reproduce the problem

• plug in a headset
• unplug a headset
• it's stuck on headset
• turn volume down and keep turning it down, even if it is all the way down, until it switches to 'ringer' instead of 'headset' on the volume overlay

Confirmed again there is nothing in the port. It looks clean and shiny.

My iphone 6 was only 2 weeks old when this happened. What did work and fixed the issue for me was the following;

1) used compressed air and blew it into the earphone jack. You cannot use your breathe btw, it has way too much vapor in it and will more than likely cause more problems. You must use dry air.

2) switch the phone into air plan mode (weird yes) and switch it out of air plane mode. Boom! works again.

This support document actually helped me! Stoked! Thank you! I always have a bunch of spare unused toothbrushes stores when friends visit and used one to clean receiver! Works like new!

One of my users have this problem with his iPhone 6. He said it started last week and only told me about it today. It's less than a month old. Called Verizon and did a couple to troubleshoot tests with them and didn't fix the issue. They're sending out a replacement phone to arrive tomorrow. Didn't try the can air or airplane mode.

I tried EVERY suggestion - nothing worked. What finally worked was going into voice memo and tapping on the speaker icon (it turns blue). Magically, I got out of headphone mode (which was the cause of the issue).

putting it in airplane mode oddly worked for me as well.

I read that if you blow out the headphone hole at the bottom with a duster can of compressed air it may fix it. I did and IT DID!

I was having exact same issue with my 5 months new iPhone 6. It is a hardware issue, NOT software or setting issue.

The problem went away after I pat the phone firmly towards my palm a few times. I guess dust off compressed can may work too.

Now I wonder if it will come back.

Hey I don't know if I'm late to the game, but I had the same issue with no audio coming from the speakers. Problem ended up being that my Bluetooth headphones were still paired as the primary audio source. Once I realized this I tried calling a friend and clicked on the speaker icon to make the iPhone my primary speaker. Hope this helps

I was struggling with the same issue. My iPhone 6 said "headphone volume" with nothing plugged in. I powered the phone down, used compressed air and contact cleaner on the earphone jack, then did multiple insertions and removals of my earbuds. After a few minutes, it magically went back to normal operation (for now).

My phone is out of warranty, so I hope this fixed it. If not, it's upgrade time!

yeah, ingots say I'm pretty ****** off at apple. I'm on my 4th 6 plus because the earpiece keeps going bad. It starts rattling and buzzing. People aren't clear. Every phone Apple has given me, the earpiece has gone bad.

Same problem. Called Apple support and got all the bs that you are passed 14 days. Of course my phone is 16 days old, hence I am getting all the bs run around "we can repair it" or you may get a refurbished phone. I have to wait 2 days for an appointment to the store for these idiots to look at the phone. There is nothing to troubleshoot. The phone is faulty and it needs to be replaced.

Since when did Apple started sucking so badly? 16 days old iPhone can't perform the basic function of being a phone and I have to go through all of the bs of getting a new device without any guarantee that I will actually get it.
