iPhone is stuck in headphone mode

What did was I blew into the jack and got a cotton ball and took a small peace of held it from one side and turned the other side so than I put it in the jack all the way and made sure that I left a little bit of the cotton ball out so than I can talk it. So when the cotton ball was inside I turned it so that the debris or water inside can get stuck to the cotton ball and pulled it out. When I pulled it out I turned my phone off and it made sound.

I've tried ALL the other methods suggested on the internet, and NONE worked, except one: the airplane mode one. I tried leaving my phone in airplane mode for 15 minutes, and nothing happened, so I just assumed it didn't work. However, after looking at the replies on these threads, I tried again, but I left it overnight. IT WORKED! Try this, it might work for you too 🙂

I have an iPhone 5 that was saying I had headphones in, even though it was just some water. I turned on airplane mode. Then, I set it so it was standing up against my wall (so the water could maybe drip out). I shut my phone all the way off and let it sit overnight. The next morning it was working just fine! Back to normal!

I was out in heavy rain for 30 seconds with phone in my pocket and wasn’t aware that it had got damp but that must have been the cause.

Having seen this thread I connected to a Bluetooth device and switched airplane mode on. The volume control then reverted to showing normal volume not headphones. When I turned off both airplane mode and Bluetooth, the volume stayed in normal speaker mode, so all good again.

Whether this was a coincidence that the headphone socket dried out at this point I don’t know. I suspect that allowing the phone to gently dry is probably key. The bag of rice tip found elsewhere is worth using, as I would have gone to that next, as it has worked with my wife’s phone when dropped down the toilet.

If your ringer sound in the setting still works then you can try setting a bunch of alarms and let the go off for an hour or two. After that it should go back to iPhone mode

My iPhone 6 got wet and was stuck in headphone mode. I bought a can of compressed air for cleaning dust from electronics and sprayed it in the headphone jack for 5-10 seconds and it was fixed.

Rain on the iphone 6 triggered the same problem as others. After cleaning the headphone jack with no results, I switched setting to Airplane mode, then turned that off and that worked for me.

Airplane mode for at least 15 minutes. I tried every other conceivable option and that's the one that worked.

I attached my phone to power and let it charge about an hour . This solved the problem. This is the second time this is happening, and the same solution worked again..

iPhone 6s Plus got little water damage, after cleaning it out a qtip and trying most methods on this forum I put the phone on airplane mode for like 30 minutes and sure enough speakers were working again, hope it works for you

Just when threw the same promblem with my iPhone 6 and I tried everything also only thing that worked for me was putting my phone on airplane mode for an hour and when I turned it off it worked again

Did everything suggested. Nothing worked. Left in airplane mode for three or so hours and it worked.

I've been trying to get this issue fixed on my iPhone 6 almost all day. I never use headphones and my phone has never had any water or physical damage. I tried SO MANY things and what finally worked for me was this.. HOLD DOWN THE VOLUME UP AND DOWN BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE STILL HOLDING THESE DO A HARD RESET. SO ALL THE STEPS YOU WILL DO AT THE SAME TIME ARE HOLD DOWN THE VOLUME UP AND DOWN BUTTONS WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE HOME BUTTON AS WELL AS THE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR PHONE. ONCE YOU SEE THE WHITE SCREEN WITH THE APPLE YOU CAN LET GO OF ALL BUTTONS. THIS SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE! I really hope this saves someone a lot of the hassle I've been through!!

After an hour trying to solve this, there's a solution that finally worked for me.

Water from the rain entered my iphone's earjack which i didn't know at first. Opened spotify and play a music. Tried to put a tiny rolled tissue on it then I noticed that it's wet. Tried to put it in again with a force. The music was paused, then I clicked play and it starts to sound loud and right.

so I read through this forum on all the solutions and none of them worked. However the ONE that did was SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET NETOWRK SETTINGS. This only removes any passwords you have for wireless networks and does not reset any personal things such as pics, contacts, etc. After the the phone came back on work right away!
