How do I flip screen so the headphone jack is on top?

I recently upgraded from the iPhone 4s to the iPhone 5s.  I hate the iPhone 5s for one reason only: the headphone jack is on the bottom of the phone.  I realize I should not care so much, this phone makes me irrationally angry each and every time I try to use headphones with it. If I am working out, I have to set the phone upside down on the machine as I run. If the phone is in my pocket, I am constantly flipping it over every time I take it out of my pocket. That is annoying in and of itself, but it also causes the headphone cord to get tangled and shorten when I put it back into my pocket. Also, it makes it difficult to work on the phone while listening to my headphones. The cord sticking out from the bottom prevents me from using my pinky to stabilize the phone in my hand. I almost never dropped my iPhone 4s in over two years that I had it. I drop the iPhone 5s once a week because it won't let me hold it securely.  I would not buy an iPhone 5s if I had it to do over again.
Anyway, since I am stuck with this stupid phone, is there any way to flip the screen 180 degrees so that the button, headphone jack, and speakers would all be on the top.  I am tired of cursing my phone and Apple every time I use it.

The LG Tones are, in my opinion comparable or better in quality to yurbuds (though I can't say I think yurbuds are that great). I also have a pair of Jabras that are designed especially for sports use. They take a bit of getting used to putting on but they are very good. Not having a cord rubbing against my shirt while I run is a great thing.
I haven't seen one in a while but there used to be adapters (on a lanyard, I think) you could plug a headset into which then connect to your device over BT. You could therefore use a headset of your choice. If I recall, Motorola used to make one.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • HT201205 How can I connect to a bluetooth devise and use the head phones at the same time? I have a new  ipod Touch  (32GB)'and want to play through a stereo system using the headphone jack and connect to a blue tooth speaker in another room

    How can I

    Not possible, there is a physical switch inside the headphone port, when the headphone jack is plugged in the switch is open and disables the iPod speaker and Bluetooth networks. Cheers.

  • How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

    for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
    Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
    At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
    Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
    When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

  • How do I properly clean the headphone jack?

    My headphones started to short out a couple weeks ago and at first I thought it might be the headphone jack itself on my iTouch. Even though I figured out it was the headphones, I decided it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to clean out the headphone jack itself. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to do this properly? I don't know if a q-tip is safe but I also don't think it will fit...
    Any knowledge on this would be great!

    A regular 3.5 jack to jack won't cut it. You need something like this DIY iRig or a dedicated product.

  • How do I disable the headphone jack remote controls on my iMac?

    HI all,
    I've got an early 2009 iMac 24".  I use it with an older pair of Logitech 2.1 speakers with no inline remote controls.  The headphone jack itself or the 1/8" male connection is loose because the iMac will randomly launch/play/pause iTunes.  I'm 100% certain this has to do with the headphone jack connection.  I want to disable that remote functionality in OSX while still using my speakers, but I haven't found any documentation or information on how to do it.
    Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance.

    You need to get the busted plug out of the headphone jack. Because there is a micro switch in-side the headphone jack that tells the MIDI setup to only send the sound out to the headphone jack.
    Go to > Removing a broken headphone plug - Google Search or take it to your local AASP for service.
