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 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

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 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.

I tried using a blowdrier in the jack, didn't work.

Good luck

Iphone 4s stuck in headphones mode

Hi
i have iphone 4s and i have problem with it
i have stuck in headphones mode
can anybody help me about that and thank you very much

There's an Apple article about this here -> iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
You might be able to fix it by spraying compressed air into the jack, to try and get whatever is in there out.

Iphone 5 stuck in headphone mode

My iphone 5 purchased on its release got stuck in headphone mode. Though I have never used headphone on my iphone. I have tried keeping in firdge for a min, plug in pplug out headphone jack, reset all settings but no use.
PLease help me!

Are you connected to wifi? And do you have an airplay device in your house or where you are at?
First thing to try is plugging headphones in the jack and then back out to see if that works.
Check the jack to see if there is anything in the jack that may be causing to be stuck in headphone mode.
Let me know know if none of these work and maybe we can try other things. Try also turning off the phone and back on too.

My iPhone seems to be stuck in headphone mode. I tried plugging in and unplugging the earbuds several times, but it still does not work. Any other suggestsions?

My iPhone seems to be stuck in headphone mode. I already tried plugging and unplugging my headphones, but it still is stuck in headphone mode. What can I try next?

I've read other methods but they didn't work for me.
You can try cleaning the jack with a q tip, blowing into the jack and then pulling in and out the headphones (thi worked for my friend).
The toothpick trick which i got from this link here : http://science.opposingviews.com/turn-headphone-mode-off-iphones-15782.html
Ive also heard although it isn't the best, using an air compressor to clean out any gunk in the jack that can help aswell.
I'm utterly frusturated at this point. I'm just going to go to the Apple Store and see what they have to say. If of these at home remedies don't work i suggest you do to and brace yourself for repair costs.
Best of luck

IPhone 5s stuck in headphone mode

So when I tried to listen to some music at lunch today there and wasn't any sound coming from the speakers. I found out the phone was stuck in headphone mode. I've tried everything; from Q tips to blowing air into the audio jack but nothing seems to work. When listening to music the sound is much louder in my right ear than the left and I can hear crackling and barely noticeable static (tested with two pairs of headphones). What should I do, should I take it to a Genius Stand and pay a ridiculous amount to get it fixed or wait it out and hope it fixes itself.

Hello Toronto 61,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
There are still some troubleshooting steps to go through before it's isolated to being a hardware issue. The troubleshooting steps can be found in the following article:

My iPod Touch is stuck in headphones mode

My iPod Touch 5th gen. is stuck on headphones mode, and I DONT WANT TO RESET MY IPOD OR ANY APPS OR PHOTOS ON IT! Oh and I don't really back-up my iPod on the
Please help!
(software is 7.1.2)
I have tried in the headphones thing, plugging and unplugging headphones, turning off my ipod and turning it back on, and none of those worked!
HELP ME!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted. A problem with the jack is the likely cause
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
