My ipad2 volume is stuck in headphone mode?

Headphones are not plugged in and the volume displays headphones when I try to adjust the volume. I have tried to reset all settings through iPad settings and by holding down the home and power buttons but neither work. I have also tried to plug and unplug headphones but this doesn't work either

Thank you Macaby. Juggling didn't work despite using more than one set of headphones... In the end I switched off the iPad and left it for a while; when I switched it on again it all worked fine! Also I am new to this blogging stuff so it took me a while to find the reply button!

  • Getting stuck in Headphone mode not necessarily a hardware issue, is it?

    I've read on the net that cleaning the headphone jack can correct this issue. I've also read that inserting the headphones and removing them many times (I think I've seen 7 or 8 times) can also correct the issue. None of these issues worked for me.
    What I did notice is that the presence of my headphones was indeed being detected. With the headphones plugged-in, I set the volume to a low volume, for example. With the headphones removed, I set the volume near maximum. Mind you, the phone is in Headphone mode, and won't normally play out of the speaker. But when you insert the headphones, in this example, the volume jumps to the low setting, and when the headphones are removed, the volume jumps to the near maximum setting.
    So insertion and removal of the headphones is indeed detected. So this isn't a hardware issue, then, is it? There's got to be something else going on.

    Well, I backed up, erased, and restored to get proper functionality. No longer stuck in headphone mode. I tried compressed air, and cleaning the jack. Those attempts didn't fix me. I believe it's just a bug that will eventually get fixed, or a setting that will reset the logic associated with the headphone.

  • Ringer stuck in headphon mode. How can I get ringer working?

    My ringer is stuck on headphone mode and I cannot hear when it rings. My headphones are not connected and I cannot get phone to return to normal ringer. What setting do I change to fix?

    try toggling the headphone jack into your phone a couple of times and then use the side volume control and see if the ringer works.

  • TS3274 ipad stuck in headphones mode

    my ipad2 is stuck in headphones mode. Anybody know how to overide it?

    My Ipad2 did this to me today also.  I plugged in my Iphone headset, Held down the Home and On/Off button until it reset itself.  I released the buttons.  I waited about 15 seconds and pressed the On/Off button until it began to reboot itself.  Once reboot was complete my sound was back to normal. 
    Hope this helps

  • 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....

  • My phone is stuck in headphone mode and nothing is working!  Help!

    My IPhone 4S is stuck in headphone mode.  I have tried everything from putting my phone in rice overnight, blowing and sucking air in the headphone jack,and hard resetting it but nothing is working!  Please help!!

    Hello manhay,
    The following article provides some additional troubleshooting that can help restore audio to your iPhone's speaker.
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

  • My Ipod touch 5th generation stuck in headphone mode

    My ipod touch 5th gen is stuck in headphone mode and it is showing "headphones" on the volume bar though i have disconnected it.The sounds of songs and apps are,nt working in the external speaker whereas only ringtones are working.
    PLEASE HELP REGARDING THIS. THANK YOU.

    - 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.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. 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 iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    How do i get my iphone 4s out of being stuck in headphones mode. When i dont even have headphones plugged in, it says headphones ringer. I've tried blowing and sucking in the jack, didnt work. I tried using a blowdrier in the jack, didn't work. I also tried putting it in the freezer while in a plastic bag, trying to clean it with a qu tip, and plugging and unplugging the headphones more than 100 times, still nothing and i also restored, reset, and put my iphone in DFU mode, and still nothing seems to work.

    I had the same problem.  I squirted a drop of WD40 in the headphone hole and then used a plastic dental toothpick and twisted it around in the hole.  It amazingly worked.

    my ipod 4g is stuck in headphone mode and i tried EVERYTHING but no solution HELP I DONT WANT TO CHANGE MY IPOD FOR ANOTHER ONE !!!!! I really want to hear all my stuff without using my headphones every second of the day!!! PLEASE!!!!!

    If restoring from backup did not solve the problem you have a problem with the headphone jack.  If under warranty Apple will replace it under warranty.  There are third-partys places that can replace it too.  Yu can, if you are capible, replace it yourself.  See:

  • Lumia stuck in Headphone mode

    My phone is stuck in headphone mode!
    how to fix this?

  • My iPhone5 is stuck on headphone mode

    My iphone just randomly got stuck on headphone mode.  I tried plugging in headphones and wiggling it, sicking a toothpick inside to see if there was anything stuck, and sucking on the jack and blowing on the jack.  Nothing has worked so far.  Help!

    Using just the headphones stick them in the port about 5 times all the way in and all the way out. Worst comes to worst RESET DEVICE
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).
