Phone gets "stuck" on headphones

Since I upgraded to 2.1 (or whatever it is) my iPhone keeps getting stuck on headphones. I cannot use the phone unless I plug in the headphones. I have tried everything on the website including plugging and unplugging, turning off blue tooth and restarting, cleaning out the jack. This has tyo be a software problem. If I go to sounds and select a ring tone the headphones problem goes away and the ring tone plays through the speaker. However within a minute or two, the same problem comes back.

My sound also keeps fading away into a distorted mess. There is definitely a software sound problem. Sometimes I can do multiple resets and the sound will come back - for awhile. Then it fades away and distorts again.

So I as I said, my ipad keeps getting stuck in headphone mode. Sometimes I can get it out is I soft reset my phone (hold home and wake/sleep button) but other times not.
I have reinstalled my ipad software, cleaned the hole with a cotton bud, played with the mute button and put my headphone jack in and out many times.
What can I do?
Thank you,
Lucy

Sounds like a possible permissions issue, try repairing the permissions using Disk Utility.
You can open Disk Utility several ways.
1. Use the Spotlight in the Upper Right corner of the screen and search for it, then click it to open it.
2. Open a new finder window (File> New Window)
- Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
3. Click on the Finder
- Click 'Go' in the menu bar across the top of the screen.
- Click Utilities, then double click on Disk Utility.
Once Disk Utility is open there should be a column on the left side, the name of your hard drive should be listed there.
(By Default it is named Mac HD or Macintosh HD)
Click on it to highlight it.
There should then be a few buttons you can click
- Verify Disk Permissions
- Repair Disk Permissions
- Verify Disk
- Repair Disk
Click Repair Disk Permissions

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.

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.

My iphone gets stuck when doing the back up of the IOS 5. What should I do? Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue on the 3Gs. I get a message "an error occurred while backing up this phone (-43)." It tells me if I continue the contents of the phone while be deleted. Is it safe to continue and restore from my current backup? I can do a manual backup without any issues.

I can't hear my calls. My phone is stuck on headphone mode

I Have an I Phone 4 S and it is stuck on headphone mode. i don't have headphones connected, but I'm unable to hear my calls. How do I turn the headphone mode off?

Hello, Hethmarti
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPhone indicates that it is stuck in headphone mode. Try connecting a set of headphones and removing them. You may need to repeat this procedure multiple times. If this does not resolve the issue try the additional troubleshooting steps in the attached article below.

Dropped phone and stuck on headphone mode

Ok I dropped my iPhone while listening to pandora but I didn't have my headphones in. When it fell my speakers got a little wet and now I can't hear anything because my iPhone is stuck on headphone mode. Can anybody help me get off that mode????

If no change after inserting and removing your earbuds or headphones several times in a row, your iPhone has hardware damage from the drop and from getting wet.

After ICS, phone gets stuck at Droid boot animation

Ever since the ICS update, now my phone can't be turned off ever again, or upon booting it back up, it will always get stuck on the Droid boot animation. I can never get passed this now, and I've done soft resets, factory resets, cleared cache. I went to my local Verizon store and the Tech employee put it on her computer, where it did boot up. But now I'm wondering if I'm stuck with a phone that I can't ever turn off again unless I want to take it to a Verizon store in every instance.

Hi Eri
I don't want you to be with a broken device. It may be an application causing this issue. Did any applications come back after the reset? I'm sure we can get this addressed!
Please power down the device then remove the battery and Sim card then reinsert and retest.
Let me know if this helps. I'll be happy to continue troubleshooting.
Thank you

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 phone is stuck in headphone mode even though the headphones are not attached to the phone. How do I fix this?

I am trying to raise the volume on my phone, but it is saying that the headphones are attached when they are not attached. How do I fix this?

I tried everything there was. I tried to plug and unplug, I tried to clean it and dry it, and I really didn't want to put my phone in a bag of rice for 12 or 24 hours because I wasn't very patient. So what I did was; I put my phone on headphone mode and put it on airplane mode, then I left it there for 5 minutes and turned airplane mode off and it was working!!!! Hope this helped.

My i phone is stuck in headddddphone mode ane headphones are not plugged iin

Try inserting and removing the headphones several times in a row to release the mechanism that is stuck indicating the headphones are inserted when they are not.
