IPhone detecting headphone when not in

So my sleep button broke on my 2G and I replaced the dongle. Now the sleep button works, but the iPhone thinks the headphones are plugged in when they are not. When I plug the headphones in, the iPhone detects them as being unplugged. Essentially, it is reversed. I've tried cleaning the jack with alcohol and compressed air, so I am thinking it might be a problem with the replacement parts. I've also tried updating the firmware and resetting it.
The model number for the headphone/sleep button/vibrator dongle is XL2302. Do they make different versions of these that work differently on the iPhone?
Help!

Hi,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630 describes that issue.
Try connecting and disconnecting the headphones a few times to remove any debris that might be in the headphone jack. If that doesn't work try the other tips in the article I linked above.
If the tips in the article do not resolve the issue, the iPhone may need hardware repair. Make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

Iphone 4 headphone socket not working headphones won't go all the way in

My iphone 4 headphone socket not working, the headphones won't go all the way in? any help, ideas?

It's very annoying as I'm currently in hospital and will be for a few more weeks and this being the reason I bought it!! Now I have to have it on very low volume and not use it in the evening

My iphone shows headphones when volume pushed and i dont hear ringer etc anymore

My iphone shows headphones when I push volume up or down and I dont have ringer anymore. How do I get the volume to come back

Thanks guys, I dropped my IPhone 4 into about 1cm of diet coke and grabbed it out within a second but it said the headphones were attached and there was no sound on my handset. I must admit I thought it was knackered! However ai looked on here and low and behold there is a solution. Thanks for the help folks. Much appreciated.

IPhone 4 headphone jack not working right.

So the headphone jack in my iPhone 4 i don't think is working properly. The right headphone does not put as much sound out as the left. I'm not sure why it was working perfectly just yesterday. I haven't dropped it or got water in it or anything. I tried plugging it in and unplugging it a few times, i reset my phone, turned it off then on and nothing seems to be working. Its not on silent and the volume thing is centered. Idk what could e happening. Help!!!

I would test the headset in another device such as a computer
and test another 3.5mm minijack headset in the phone to tell if it's the phone or headset

IPhone resets itself when not in use

I have an original iPhone which has been updated to 3.0. Since the update I've noticed that the phone will spontaneously restart itself when not in use. When this happens I'll notice the screen light up with the silver Apple logo and then go blank. This will happen repeatedly. While this is going on I can't use the phone until I plug it into the computer. Once iTunes does it's thing the phone will return to normal for a while - sometimes a day or two - before repeating this behavior. I have reset and restored the phone but without solving the problem. Apart from this everything seems to be working properly.
Any ideas?

Have you tried restoring and setting up as a new phone (i.e., not restoring from a backup)? Sometimes those backups bring along whatever is messing up your phone.

Leave iPhone in charger when not in use?

Can you overcharge an iPhone? Shall I keep it in the charger when not in use?
Thanks!

You can not over charge the battery by leaving it plug in for long times.

My iPhone 5 dies when not plugged in.

I got a new iPhone 5 from the Apple Store a little less than a month ago. I haven't dropped it, gotten it wet, scratched it or anything since the time I recieved it, and it always has a case. My phone died unexpectantly at 80% and when I plugged it into the charger it took over an hour to turn back on, when it did, it still had 80%. I unplugged it when it got to 100% and it lasted for less than ten minutes until it died again. I plugged it back in and it took relatively thirty minutes to turn back on, when it did, it had 100%. I tried unplugging it again, this time it lasted until 86% when it died. This continued every time it charged. I tried using three different USB cables, tried plugging it into the wall, my laptop, and even a friend's portable charger, and the problem still happened. It was slowly getting worse (dying as soon as it was unplugged with 100% charge) I went to the apple store and they ran diagnostics on it, it came back with nothing wrong. Battery was fine. The man told me to go home, back up my phone, and restore it to original settings and it should be fine. He expressed to NOT RESTORE MY PHONE TO THE BACK UP. I spent roughly two hours restoring my phone, setting it up as a new phone, and downloading apps, adding email, music, books, etc. As soon as I unplugged it from restoring it, it died again. I am getting angry with the iPhone 5, as my old one died and wouldn't turn back on, and it is the only phone they will give me as a replacement. It took three hours out of my time to go to the apple store and be told something that doesn't even work and would take two hours to accomplish. I am currently using my laptop for iMessages and when in need of my phone having to be with a charger and and be around an outlet at all times. Is this problem fixable without having to go back to the Apple Store or taking apart my phone? My phone is not jailbroken, nor have I downloaded anything onto it besides syncing music from my iTunes Library. It is up to the latest software update.
It may not be relevant but the service bar will always say 'searching' even though I have service and can send messages.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW device. If those don't solve your problems, you'll need to go to Apple for evaluation.

Odd problem with iPhoto always seeing my iPhone as connected when not

I have started having a problem with iPhoto8. When it starts it always goes to the import photos screen and has a couple dozen icons (with no image) and filenames to import from my iPhone. The problem is my iPhone is not connected. It shows up as mounted on the left side of iPhoto. I can right click and unmount it and it goes away, but next time I restart iPhoto it is there again. If I try and click Import all it goes through the motions and asks to delete the originals, I select yes. Then it displays an error dialog with all the filenames listed saying they are corrupt or blank (which I would expect because my phone is not connected).
Does anyone know why it thinks my phone is connected when it is not or what to do?

Do you have wifi sync enabled for those devices?
Select the device, click the Summary tab.
If it is enabled, there's no need to eject the device, even with the cable plugged in.

IPhone 4S overheating when not in use.

Hi
I have an iPhone 4S, which seems to be having some sort of freak out. In the last 3 or 4 months it has started overheating (to the point where you can barely bear to handle it) while not in use. I have, at least 5 or 6 times, taken it out of my pocket/bag and found a dotted screen and the phone practically on fire. I always turn off apps when I'm done using the phone as the battery isn't the best and I am often unable to connect it to a charger for very long periods of time. Quite often it cuts out without overheating and regularly shows that it has signal, when in fact, calls don't get through and I end up with a stack of voicemail messages.
My secondary role involves emergency response, and I am reached by phone, so this simply cannot happen.
What should I be doing to resolve this? Or is it time to visit the techs in an apple store? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Iphone 5 headphones are not playing from the left mono side. Is it covered by guarantee ?

I have noticed that the large speakers of the headphone from the left side are not playing but the small speakers on the side still work. Is this problem covered by the first year guarantee of the iphone 5 package.

From the apple's discruption I mean the sound output speakers. The left large sound output is not working but the middle is working. Is this covered by the guarantee?
"The speakers inside Apple EarPods have been engineered to minimize sound loss and maximize sound output. So you get high-quality audio that’s just as impressive as what you’d hear from more expensive headphones."

How do you store/carry your headphones when not using

There are a lot of discussions on how to protect the nano. I am interested in how you carry your headphones. I sort of roll them up on my 4 fingers into a loop and put it away in my wife's jewel case made of cloth. Any better ideas?

A number of years ago, I'd taken my iPod on a trip to visit some relatives, but had somehow neglected to pack my earbuds. I ended up getting a new set of earbuds at an airport gift store. The new set came in a case that lets you wind the cords up inside itself. Ever since I came back from that trip, I've put my Apple earbuds in that case.
The case opens like a clamshell, and has center indentations for the earbuds. Place the earbuds in, then close the shell, with the cord dangling out the hole in the side. The top has a thumb rest, and you wind the cords up into the case. To get them out, I just open the case, grab the plug end and pull it out. The case is about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter and fits nicely in a pocket.
I've seen other earbuds with similar cases since then.

You can not activate it without a SIM. If it is carrier locked, the SIM must be from the carrier it is locked to.
The SIM does not have to be tied to an active line of service, but it MUST be present.
