Iphone headphones wont work, damaged hardware?

I don't really know if this is the correct place to post this but well..
I've been using the standard Iphone 5 headphones for a while now until recently they stopped working as they should, won't play/pause using the button thingy on them. So I tested them on my friends Iphone 4 and they worked as they should. So just wondering if I've damaged the hardware in the phone somehow or changed any settings by mistake

Hi Padawaan,
If the headphones are working on a different iPhone, then I would suggest trying some of the troubleshooting steps below for your iPhone 5:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

    Headsets don't come with the iPad. All you get is the iPad, USB cable and wall charger.

  • My headphones wont work.

    I've only had my macbook pro for 3 months and now the headphones wont work. I was wondering, is there a way to fix it on my own? If I were to go to Apple, would they fix it free of charge or do I pay? How much would I pay?
    By the way, I have the 3 year warranty, but the man who sold me my mac said that the rules will change in january 2011, so I'm not sure if everything is free of charge.

    If you bought your MBP new three months ago, it's still under its standaard one-year warranty, and any defect in it will be repaired free of charge. Your AppleCare plan extends the warranty for two more years, for a total coverage period of three years from the date of purchase. The fellow who told you that was going to change was misinformed, or else you misunderstood what he was telling you.

  • Iphone headphones can work with nokia's ?

    i was just wondering if the iphone headphones would work with my nokia 5800 because it has the inbuilt mic which is alot more helpful then having to carry round the nokia adaptor remote around with me?
    or if there are any other types of headphones that have inbuilt mics that would be compatible?

    Hi Nokia
    Do a range of bluetooth headphones, which have the mic built in and have excellent quality.
    I have have a set of BH-504 and they are brilliant
    Kind Regards

  • My plug-in for headphones wont work

    okay, the thingy that you plug your head phones in mine wont work.
    the last couple of months its be like skipping, its like its scratched inside.
    whenever i moved the jack a certain way it wouldnt work, and sometimes when it did only one ear would work.
    now lately it barely works at all
    usually i can manage a way to place it for it to work but not anymore, its stripped down is what i think.
    and the thing is i cant use the speaker cause i got the old headphones.
    my warranty is used up cause i got this ipod last christmas.
    what am i supposed to do? :S
    i tried other headphones and none will work

    Bite the bullet and pay for the iPod Touch to be repaired by Apple. It's cheaper than a brand new one, and at least then it will be fixed.
    The problem is probably some heavy scratching or bent metal inside the mini port (the headphones port). Unfortunately, there's no "EASY" way to fix this, and chances are, Apple will just send you a refurb back anyway.

  • Help ! Opened up My iphone, now wont work

    Wanted to troubleshoot a problem took phone apart, nothing works

    Apple said they wont pay for a new iphone for me. I didn't know you could not open it up !
    Seriously? Do you think if your TV didn't work and you opened it up that the manufacturer would not void the warranty? Phones are no different than any other electronic device. Open them up or attempt any sort of repair in any way and your warranty is bye bye.

  • Headphones wont work on a PC

    I have been trying to use my iPhone 4 headphones at school to listen to music and my headphones dont seem to work with any of the PCs. I get a sound coming out that sounds like the headphones are blown but they work just fine on my phone. Anyone have this problem and know a solution? I would rather not buy new headphones just for the PC.

    The headphones can be used with any normal stereo headphones jack. Are you sure you're putting them in properly?

  • My iphone 5c wont work after update from ios 7 to ios 8, is on recovery mode but my itunes wont find my device to restore it

    I update my iphone 5c ios 7.1.2 (i think) to ios 8.0.2, however when it was intalling it suddently stppoed and my iphone only displayed the itunes icon with the cable plug in in the screen. I searched all over the internet for the solution and it says to turn the device into recovery mode and plug it to itunes so it can restore with ios 8 on it, however my itunes doesnt find my device in any way, i tried updating my itunes my windows everything, but still doesnt work, help please!!

    If  your phone is in recovery mode, all data on it are gone.  Certainly before performing a software update, you backed up your data and imported your important photos onto your computer, right?

  • My headphones wont work in the ipad audio minijack

    my headphone minijack won't work. I've checked that the headphones I use work in everything else.

    The iPad has a standard 3.5 mm jack. Any pair of headphones with a 3.5 mm connector should work.
    Have you plugged them in all the way?

  • After restore my iphone 3gs wont work

    My phone went to someone to fix the screen on my 3GS he said it went into recovery, now when i try to power up it says 'could not activate' I have restored and googled all night, it still will not work!! Any ideas please? I want my phone back

    Take it back to whoever was supposed to "fix" it.  Since it's been opened by a 3rd party, Apple won't touch it and there's no telling what they damaged when they opened it up.

    Hi lekgotproblem,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I see that you have some issue with sounds playing from the speakers even with headphones connected. Try this link to a third-party site, it will show you how to set the default audio device. Set the headphones as the default and the sound will go through headphones and when you remove it will go back to the speakers. The link is for Windows 7 since I you didn't mention what OS you are using. If you are using Windows 8 just search for Control Panel on your tile screen and then to go Sound and the rest of the steps will be the same.

  • I need a USB cord for a 3rd generation, original model, iPod Touch. The cord for my IPhone 3SG wont work. Can I buy a USB cord that will work?

    I have a 3rd generation, original model iPod Touch. My USB conneror cable cord is worn out. I cannot use the newer cord that works with my iPhone 3SG. Can I get a version of the cord that will work with the oroginal version of an iTouch, 3rd generation iPod Touch?
    Thanks for any input.

    There is no difference in the cable for the iPod touch and iPhones.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    For info, what iPod do you have? You said"I have a 3rd generation, original model iPod Touch"
    The original iPod touch is the 1G iPod touch.

  • TS3899 My email on my iPhone 5 wont work. How can i fix this?

    My email worked perfectly on my 3GS, but now on the 5 it wont log in. its like its not connecting to the internet even though safari is.

  • Side of my headphones wont work

    I know its not the headphones because I have used several different pairs. Anything I can do?

    If a reset/restore doesn't fix it then make an appointment at your nearest Apple store ( Assuming your Touch is still under warranty. ).
    If the Genius folks can't fix it they'll replace it.

  • My iphone screen wont work, and my off lock screen button does not work, what can i do?

    Hey guys,
    can you please help! I have never been in this situation and i need help desperately

    Verizon does not fix/repair/replace devices.
    Apple provides all hardware support in the US.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
    FYI, they do not fix devices, so backup your device prior to going to the store.
