Iphone acting as if it has headphones when none are plugged in.

I have an iphone 3G. I am not hearing any ringing when people call. I also have to take calls on speaker. This is the second iphone I have had. The "geniuses" at the Mac store gave me "new" one two weeks ago and already it doesn't work.
I have reset the phone and turned it on and off. The mute button is NOT on. I can't run to the Mac store every two weeks. Please help.

Hey whereismyrobot,
The issue could be caused by debris getting in the iPhones headphone jack.
Try adjusting the volume on the iPhone without headphones connected, does it show (headphones) even though headphones are not connected?
If it does try the tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630

  • No sound is coming through my headphones when they are plugged in

    For some reason, sound is no longer coming out of my headphones when they are plugged into my laptop. I have had my laptop for 3 years and never had this problem with this computer or any computer. When the headphones are plugged in, the sound comes through the speakers in the computer but not through the headphones. Its really frustrating and I would love some help figuring out what is going on.

    What generation Nano do you have?  I assume a 5G Nano, since you are referring to sound output through the iPod's external speaker.  If that is the case, first make sure your headphones are plugged all the way, meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano.
    Also try to reset the device by pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Have faces on iPhone photos when none are checked to appear

    Why do all faces in iPhoto appear on the iPhone?
    In iTunes, the sync section of photos has selected albums, Events, etc checked with  No Events chosen.
    None of the face entries in the section below of iTunes are checked. I would assume faces wouldn't appear if none are checked. No events appear.
    This problem does not happen with my iPad which is checked in exactly the same way as iTunes for the iPhone.
    THe problem continues ever since I got the iPhone 6 months ago. All software and OS are the latest versions.

    Your faces aren't really being synced. Your phone is just making a separate album where all the faces, that are on the phone, are organized by faces. It's just like the album with videos and panoramas. :-)

  • Sound does'nt shut down when earphones are plugged in. Ipad Mini.

    Sound doesn't shut down when earphones are plugged in. Same earphones used with other ipad or iphone give no problem.

    might be a hardware issue with the headphone jack. Try cleaning it with a dry soft toothbrush to remove lint and dust.
    If that doesn't help:
    Try doing a hard reset for the iPad: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
    In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using that last article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    Good luck

  • Iphone acts like im touching the screen when im not

    my phone wont unlock and i can only get it to slide about 1/4 of the way across the unlock bar and if i do get it to unlock it types in a random pass code and locks me out and if i manage to get past both of these it sometimes will open up apps and messages and it always types in the bottom row of the keyboard and tries to copy and paste random stuff. i recently had my screen replaced and im wondering if that has anything to do it but im also wondering if it might bw an iOS problem because ive read on here that some other peoples phones are acting weird and a few of my friends are..

    do a reset
    hold home /sleep buttons UNTIL Apple logo appears , ignore red off slider .
    If the screen was replaced by a " Phoneshop " rather than Apple then take it back they have screwwed up your iPhone and now the warranty is void and Apple will not ever provide service or help with that device

  • Do you know what it means when messages are blue on iphone, do you know what it means when messages are blue on iphone

    do you know what it means when messages are blue on iphone

    Green messages are normal SMS messages and consume your carrier's SMS plan messages. Blue messages are those sent via the new iMessage service and are sent over a wifi or data connection. They do not count toward SMS limits, and can be sent to anyone with iMessage activated on any iDevice - iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

  • My HP 8540w is creating static for my headphones when ever i plug them in!

    when ever i plug my headphones into the jack it always starts creating static and my headphones work fine i tested them on 3 other diffrent laptops. But when ever i use them on my laptop it starts getting all buzzey and i can't stand it anymore.

    Hello CharliePurvis,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you are experiencing an issue with your notebook. However, since this is a commercial notebook, you should post your issue on the notebook board of the HP Enterprise Forums for a better answer.
    Thanks and have a great day!

  • Radio says no signal, to plug in headphones. They are plugged in now what?

    I want to use the radio and it says "No signal, headphones need to be plugged in"  they are plugged in. Now what?

    Double check to make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
    Otherwise try a hard reset of the Nano.

  • IPhone 4 audio behaving like has headphones always plugged in

    Hello.
    I have an iPhone 4. Software version is 4.3.5.
    I currently have the sound button on. No headphones plugged. When push the sound button up or down, I have on scree the usual volume screen, however, it says ringer (headphones) instead of just ringer.
    I have no sounds coming from apps (notifications...) and no sound coming from locking (it is set on on the settings). I cannot listen to the iPod music without headphones (no sound comes out of speakers). I only have these sounds when I plug headphones and the sounds come via headphones.
    Also, if I have the iPod on, with headphones, the iPod does not turn off when I remove headphones.
    I already switched it off and tried forced reset.
    Any ideas to solve this, please?
    Thank you

    Well guess what. My problem is fixed. Something to think about. After several days of frustration I found that the problem was with my new Mophie Battery. I contacted Mophie and they sent me a replacement and ever since the phone has worked just fine. The Customer Service from Mophie was outstanding.

  • My iphone thinks I'm using a headphone when I'm not, and no sound comes out of the phone. How can I fix this?

    It works fine in my car (when it's connected to bluetooth). But otherwise, the sound on the phone is dead.
    What can be wrong and how can I fix it?

    Please not that the iPhone uses mono channel for internal speakers, the other path that you see is not the speaker per say. It is the phone microphone. Try using headphones, you will hear both channels. If the problem still persists when using headphones, check your sound balancing in the settings. Go to setting-general-accessibility scroll down and check the slide under mono audio. It should be put at the centre for you to hear both channels ON YOUR HEADPHONES

  • TS1205 my iphone acts as if i have headphones in it what can i do?

    My phone acts like i have headphones in whenever im trying to listen to music or play video when there arent any plugged in. why is this and what can i do to prevent it?

    Change all of your passwords & report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. While there is no way to track your phone, if your carrier offers Blacklisting, they will do so at your request. Once Blacklisted, the phone will not be able to be activated for service where you live & in 19 other countries as well if your carrier participates.
    If your carrier does not offer Blacklisting, there is nothing you can do.

  • The new update has messed up my iPad and iPhone both glitch and turn off now when you are playing games or reading

    Both my iPhone and I pad are not communicating together. They are glitch. You can be in a game or surfing the web and all the sudden the screen goes black. I have lots of memory and space. I cleaned history thinking it could be it. I also restored iPad as new device. The update messed it up. Becoming very frustrated with apple products. Help please!

    What update are you talking about? What iOS level are you running?

  • Why does my ipad2 say it has headphones when I've never plugged any in?

    I was using the iPad earlier, set it to sleep mode (whatever you'd call it) and picked it up a few hours later.  I tried to watch a YouTube video but there was no sound.  I turn the volume up and it was saying " headphones".  I'd yet to use headphones with this week old toy.  I checked the port and it is clean as can be.  I plugged headphones in for the first time and yes they work, but the speaker won't.  What's up?

    I thought I'd add an update.
    I am typing this in on my new ipad2.  I made an appointment at the genius bar at the Apple store. It stumped them.  They replaced it, was supposed to take 5 days but got a call 3 hrs after I first went in with the problem.  It's nice to have a 100% functioning iPad again.  These things happen.

  • IPhone 5S now shutting off display, even when apps are running?

    Hi guys,
    I've had my iPhone 5S since it released (and a 4S before that since its release), and just today I noticed that my iPhone 5S is automatically shutting off its screen after a handful of minutes when plugged in and charging.
    My iPhones have never done this before. I have an alarm clock app, and leave that running 100% of the time when my phone is plugged in since it shows a clock on the display, and I prefer that to a blank, powered-off screen. However, just this morning I noticed that it shut off overnight (never did that before), and now -- even when I'm watching it to see if anything happens, it shuts off.
    Something weird did happen this morning though: when my phone alarm woke me up, I noticed my phone was just randomly loading apps, regardless of my input. I shut it off and turned it on again, and then it stopped doing that. This likely has something to do with the new phone display issue.
    I can't find a specific setting on the phone or anything that would cause it to do this. Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate it!

    Hi, no idea what you tried, but...
    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Wakeup/Startup right after that for clues.

  • My 13 MacBook Pro acts like the battery has died while it is plugged in.

    I will use my MacBook normally, it will be plugged in and fully charged. I will leave it on, close the lid and leave it plugged in for the night. The next morning it will still be fully charged (the charger indicator light is green, pressing the button on the left also shows full green dots). I will open the lid and instead of being ready to go right where it left off it has a white washed screen with a loading bar across the bottom. It goes through what normally happens as if the battery has died. It takes several minutes to fully start up before I can use it. Battery indicator is still at 100%. Strangely, this problem does not occur when I leave the computer on, UNPLUG it and close the lid. The next morning it will be ready to go without the white-washed loading screen. There is some, but minimal, battery depletion after that but only do to being unplugged. Otherwise it's fine.
    Right now it's in diagnostics overnight at my local apple store. But the apple genius, and several other people I have talked to have not heard of this problem. Any insight? That computer is less than a year old, purchase december 2012. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact operating system. Thank you!

    Youve got a wake from sleep issue when powered.
    yes, youve got a late 2012 macbook Pro running 10.8.5
    Theyll diagnose it and take care of it or replace the logic likely.
