Iphone stuck in headphone-only mode

my iphone works fine with headphones plugged in, but is silent when they are not. It can't seem to tell that the headphones are not plugged in. When I use the hard keys to adjust ringer volume, the display says ringer (headphones) even when the headphones are not plugged in. I have to switch to speaker mode to make headphone-free calls.
Hardware problem?

This didn't work for my iphone.
Instead, I put the iphone on speakerphone for approximately 8 minutes and then it went back to the normal phone mode. However it phased back to headset only.
Is this a major problem that others are having with their iphones? Any other solutions for fixing this problem?

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • ITunes stuck in activation only mode

    I have been unable to fix this with copious google searches. Computer is running Windows XP Pro SP3.
    We are using the appropriate switches to launch iTunes in activation only mode and also to take it back out of activation only mode. I have tried creating separate shortcuts and I have tried doing it from a command prompt window.
    iTunes is stuck in activation only mode and won't come out of it. If I log in to the computer with a different user account I am able to launch in normal mode. This problem seems profile related but I have searched the registry and been unable to find a key for iTunes that would obviously be causing this problem. The app has been reinstalled - made no difference.
    What is the problem here? I would prefer to not delete the profile that iTunes is "stuck" in if possible. Thanks

    Logged this as a SR on Metalink and the problem seems to be down to use of colons in my connection names.
    I was using a naming convention of
    host:SID     for accounts connecting as system and
    host:SID:schema     for accounts connecting as specific schema
    Which nicely groups and orders my connections by host. Sadly this prevents edit of stored pl/sql units (package, procedures, functions)

  • IPhone stuck in "headphones" mode....

    My iPhone appears to be stuck in "headphones" mode. Sound works fine through headphones when they're plugged in, but when headphones aren't plugged in, I get no sound at all from the phone. When I adjust the volume with the buttons on the side, the display says "Ringer (headphones)." Help!

    I had exactly the same experience as Spartan95. My iPhone got stuck in headphones mode just before a business trip, and stayed that way for 2 weeks before I could get to the Genius Bar. I tried resetting, compressed air, restoring... and nothing worked. The Genius attempted a restore in the store, and when that didn't solve the issue, handed me a new phone. Too bad there isn't a manual software "switch" available in the phone's options panel. Oh, well....

  • Iphone stuck in voice over mode and not accepting passcode

    help, my iphone is stuck in voice over mode and not accepting pass code.

    If you have Siri set to work while the phone is locked, you can activate Siri by pressing and holding the Home button and saying. "Turn off VoiceOver."

  • Editor stuck in read only mode

    Am able to connect to a 9i database, but am unable to edit any code. Logon appears successful, connection made, and am able to query the database. However, when I open stored procedures for editing, the edit window doesn't respond to any keystrokes.
    The editor behaves as though I were in some kind of read-only mode. However, when I exit the procedure, I am prompted to save "changes".

  • Iphone stuck in headphone mode

    Hi,
    I have seen that I'am not the only one with this issue.
    I'am quite sure that this is not a hardware issue on my iphone 5, because my workaround is to turn the phone off/on. Then it works fine until I connect headphone again. Quite annoying..
    This seems to have happened after a update

    1)  Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    2)  If the issue persists...
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

  • Iphone stuck in headphone mode- speaker not working

    They keep saying not many people are reporting this, so I thought I'd throw my two cents in:
    I'm on the phone- suddenly silence, but the call continues. If I hit speakerphone, that works and they're still there. I turn off speaker phone, they're gone. BUT if I turn the volume up, it says "headphones" AHH it thinks there are headphones plugged in.
    On the newer macs, there's a switch that can tell if a jack is plugged in and it can stick- you can have to insert a jack pointing down to hit that switch (to make the laser stop coming out of the jack)
    On the phone, they tell you to jam a phone jack in and out several times before giving up and resetting the phone. I get that to work sometimes, but it shouldn't happen...

    Okay, I had a similar issue with my phone about a month and a half ago. If you're like me and explore every aspect of the iPhone, then you're taking the headphones out and putting them back in a lot. I found that my higher brain can still in fact control the iPhone, although incredibly sophisticated. If you take your headphones or any other TTY jack and put it in and out of the iPhone jack rapidly over and over again it should solve the issue. I had only to put it in and out about 6-10 times, but I'm sure I overkilled it =)...I have never had the same problem with my phone...That should work, but if not then it might be a more serious issue.

  • Iphone stuck in headphone mode - swapped cables, still the same problem!

    The silent switch on my iPhone had stopped working so I bought a new housing from ebay and decided to swap the back around at the same time.
    I noticed the little switch on the silent button had broken on the old one, so bought a new jack cable.
    Put it all back together and the silent switch and everything is working fine apart from the phone thinking it's in headphone mode when it isn't
    I've tried all of the fixes and nothing works. I was hoping it was a faulty cable, so asked the guy to send a new one. That arrives this morning and it is exactly the same 'Headphone Mode'
    I've just plugged the old cable in and it's saying the same thing, even though it didn't before.
    Does anyone have ANY idea what else I could try? It doesn't seem like it's a problem with the actual cable so I'm hoping it's nothing too drastic.
    Please help!
    Cheers

    Does anyone have any other ideas? I've just installed 3.1 on the phone and no difference. Really don't know what else to try.
    Somebody else mentioned the two different types of jack cable for the 2g iPhone one that was the reverse, but why would my original cable still think the headphones are in when they're not
    Any help would be much appreciated!

  • IPhone stuck in Headphone mode with headphones unplugged

    I figurered out the easiest way to fix this annoying problem...
    1. Go to SETTINGS
    2. SOUNDS
    3. Turn ringer all the way down
    4. Turn ringer back to desired setting
    Should go back to audible ring.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • IPhone stuck on Headphone Setting

    After using the headphones, my iPhone is now stuck on the headphone setting. It does not allow any sounds to come through it without the headphones connected. I tried powering off & resetting.
    Any other suggestions? I really don't want to restore & lose all my data.

    I've done that over & over, as it fixed the problem before.
    I just minutes ago decided to reset some of the ipod settings... setting the EQ to something different worked. Weird. But I now can use it earbud free!
    Thanks all!!

  • IPhone Stuck in Head phone mode.

    I have been experiencing a frequent problem with my iPhone 3G. Every
    time the phone heats up it automatically switches to headphone mode. After searching the Apple discussion boards I have found dozens of others experiencing the same problem. the general consensus is that this is a heat related issue that began affecting phone after the 3.1.2 update. Many people have found that applying ice or placing the iPhone in the refrigerator temporarily solves the problem.
    I have posted a Video on You Tube demonstrating this problem.
