My iphone 3gs 8gb is stuck in headphone mode

its not got wet, not too hot nothing. went to recieve a call and i couldnt hear them and vice vera. ringing tone will work but text wont and neither will any of the other sounds. the sounds can be heard when the headphones are in. i havent used any other head phones on my iphone, it is less than 2 weeks old and i am going to take it back to the shop tomorrow any way. i have tried blowing and cleaning it..but nothing is working. any help would be appreciated.

after making a phone call on headphones, hanging up and unplugging them it seems to have sorted it out so far.

    I have tried to hold the "home" and "power" button to reboot
    I have tried powering it off
    I have tried, to unplug the cable, hold the "home" button and then plug it in.
    Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
    Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.

  • 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 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 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).

  • Apple iPhone 3GS 8GB Blank Screen While Updating to IOS4.3.3

    Hi have iPhone 3GS 8GB. This phone I got as replacement from Apple for my Previous iPhone which got stuck in recovery. This replacement phone was working on IOS 4.2.1.
    A few days back Apple has released IOS 4.3.3 and while updating my iPhone via iTunes, there was some error message.
    I tried it again and different different errors keep on coming. Now my Phone is totally blank. When I plug the Phone in Computer I can listen to USB Plugin sound coming from computer but nothing is coming on screen. It seems iPhone is stuck in DFU Mode.
    Also when I plug the phone in computer iTunes POPs up and says phone is in recovery mode and when I restore the phone error 1600 keeps on coming.
    I am 100% sure there is some software issues with the phone as computer responds when I plug in and Plug out the phone (USB Sound). Can any wise person on this Group help me out with the same.
    Regards,
    Anshuman

    are you able to see the apps on the home screen? If so, it's most likely an issue with your carrier
    This is also an issue that can appear on devices that have been modified in an unauthorized manner (not judging, just saying)

    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. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY OTHER WAY I NEED HELP PLEASEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! ANYONE ANY OTHER WAYS TO FIX IT?!?!??!? That would be very helpful

    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.
    Good luck

  • Iphone 3GS 8GB reborn?

    Hi everyone, I have heard that Iphone 3GS 8Gb is reborn. Is it true or it's just a rumor? Thanks

    Thank you Varjak and Deggie.
    You know, I live in Vietnam and in our country, they didn't offer Iphone 3Gs 8Gb anymore since Apple have launched Iphone 4S and 4GS. But recently, they've start selling Iphone 3Gs again with just 250 USD. I wonder if this is Apple's policy.
    Best regards,

  • What shall i do? I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service.

    I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service. What shall i do? any help please.

    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • HT1414 I have lost IMEI number and WIFI while downgrading on Iphone 3GS 8GB.Would I get back IMEI while resotring?

    I have lost IMEI number and WIFI while downgrading on Iphone 3GS 8GB.Would I get back IMEI while resotring?

    Since you attempted to downgrade the phone, you have no warranty and your ability to get support here or from Apple has been forfeited.
    You're on your own.  A Missing IMEI is generally unfixable.  Buy a new phone.

  • Don't transfer data to SD card or you will ending losing your data if interruption happen

    Hello guys, Don't fall in this trap and let the phone move data from internal memory to SD card to free up space as it can be interrupted for some unkown reasons and end up losing your data. ( Interruption in my case was screen auto lock i believe )
