Q: iPhone microphone not working after disconnecting headphones
I have Jaybird bluetooth earbuds and an iPhone 6. The headphones work perfectly, but after I turn them off, the microphone in the phone no longer works for things like Siri, dictation, and voice recordings in Messages. Voice calls behave normally. Please assume that I am doing things correctly, because I am. Yes, headphones are off and disconnected. Yes, I've tried restarting the phone. Yes, I've turned bluetooth off completely (not that I should have to).
Still, the microphone does not pick up any sound. Strangely, if I hit record in the Messages app, it records, but it only picks up static. No sound at all.
Any idea what can be causing this or how to fix it?
iPhone 6, iOS 8
