Permanently stuck in headphone mode?

is it supposed to change back into speaker mode when i unplug the headphones? because i unplug the headphones and it still says when i adjust the volume "headphones" and it wont even play the audio when i answer calls. only through the headphones. is there a setting i missed or is my iphone broken already

1 of our 3 iphones has the same problem.
Is this a hardware issue? Can the iphone be sent to Apple for repairs?
Or
Is there a solution other then plugging ad uplugging the headphones? With the new (stupid) handsfree law in California, many people tend to leave their headphones in the car. So when we disconnect the headphones, we have no idea that there might be a problem until we're in the office and an important call comes in. We need to be able to fix the sound issues on the fly WITH OUT using the headphones to fix it.
Any suggestions?

My iPodtouch 5th generation is stuck in headphone mode, while no headphones are present! Please help!

Hello to any others out there with my issue and have found a solution!
My ipod touch 5th gen is brand new! Just purchased this product end of July and I love it to death. Today however I ran into an issue that I simply cannot solve on my own. I was oovoo when my ipod randomly cut off and now it is stuck in headphone mode! I haven't even used my headphones all day so I really do not understand. I am not one of those people who drops their electronics or spills liquids on it (no offense) so there should be no reason for this issue. I have tried EVERYTHING sensical to fix this but now I'm lost. please if anyone with the same issue has fixed theirs, please let me know the secret. I mean I didn't spend 350$ for this to happen within 30 days.
Thank you for your time!

it's a hardware issue

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.

HOW TO GET MY IPHONE 4S OUT OF BEING STUCK IN HEADPHONES MODE? I TRIED BLOWING IT, I TRIED SUCKING IT AND I TRIED THE QU TIP, ALSO FREEZING AND PLUGGING AND UNPLUGGING THE HEADPHONES. I ALSO RESTORED IT AND PUT IT IN DFU MODE AND STILL NOTHING.

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

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:

Hi, nadr_xd. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! When did it start to happen? Have you tried to reboot your phone? This should refresh your phone's software.

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).

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.

Have you tried a different set of headphones?

IPhone4 - Stuck in Headphone mode

Ok, My iPhone4 is completely stuck in headphone mode.
It was in my pocket today and it did get slightly damp (freaking rain).
any-case, I really do not know what to do, I've tried using compressed air to blow into the jack etc, No luck.
Restoring. No luck.
Rebooting. No luck..
What should I do?

Randomphil,
Same issue here. It looked like most of the fixes for this problem you see out there were posted by owners of the iphone 3 & earlier, and none of them worked on my 4 -- not to mention, I hadn't put headphones in since the last time I used the onboard speaker. I think the issue was actually fixed with the 4 as I never have had this problem until now, despite using various non-iPhone headphones for months now.
My phone was in my glove box for a few hours during a foggy day, and when I got back to the car, a small amount of condensation appeared on it when I was handling it - probably due to the quick temperature increase from nearly freezing to being in my hands. Now that I've had time to think clearly instead of rushing to my phone, I realize that, yes, this commonly happens with electronics, even if you're not getting them wet, the condensation in the air can quickly soak into your phone - especially during a rapid temperature change - and cause potential issues, although they are usually minor. Need to allow time for the moisture to dry before using the phone.
I saw your comment yesterday and decided to give it a try. About 3 hours in a tightly sealed bag of rice seems to have wicked out all the moisture, and it works fine now.
Thanks!

HT4528 dropped my phone in snow for a less than 5 sec, and now stuck on headphone mode. Currently have it in a bag with rice... any other suggestions'

I dropped my phone in snow for a few sec, and now I am stuck in headphones mode. Has anyone had success getting this fixed?

Snow = water ... water is the best "bad" thing for an iPhone because it evaporates and leaves little or nothing behind.
Keep it in rice for about a week to be safe.
If you have AppleCarePlus (not just AppleCare) you can pay $50 to get a new one if the rice does not work. Else you will pay about 50% of the iPhone cost for an "out of warranty" replacement.

Sound gets stuck on "headphones mode" every time i try to play music.

i know there's already a topic like this, but this one is a tad bit different.
ever since i updated to 3.1.2 on my iPhone 2nd gen, every time i use my iPhone headphones and take them out, i'm stuck on "HEADPHONES" mode until my iPhone decides it doesn't want to be in it anymore. i read all the stories about blowing it with an air canister, did it. sucking the dust out, sadly i did it. plugging in and out, did it. restoring, did it.
it just ***** that i can't use my iPhone for music.. it makes me want to use my blackberry again.
any suggestions?

Your iCloud backup doesn't contain your music. It will restore music purchased from the iTunes store to your iOS device if you restore the backup by redownloading it from the iTunes store. You can also redownload music purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. This will not recover music from other sources.
To transfer music from your phone to your computer, you will need to extract it using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.
