Stuck in headphone mode except for ringtone
My iPhone 5 says it is in headphone mode but rings as per normal when a call comes in but in music and other apps, sound can only be heard with headphones in!!!!!! Suggestions???
This solution is credited to arvinmicheal. My IPad was stuck in the headphone mode. This is in spite of resetting the unit and numerous toggle switching, etc. The solution for me was to 1. Put away the hair drier, vacuum, blower, etc. 2. Switch you settings to and from Airplane mode. This solution work for my IPad.

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. -

my little brother ipod is stuck on headphones mode n the music wont play at all but in ringtones it shows the ringtone on speaker but other then that the music wont play outloud or siri wont talk nothingg help me please what do i do to fix this?????
- 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.

Speaker problem "stuck" to headphone-mode ?
Got some problems with the speaker right now.. I can't hear the person calling me.. But if I use headphones it will work.. It's like the phone is stuck to headphone-mode, or what to say, Can't hear music from spotify/youtube from the speaker, I can listen to the ringtones in the settings, But i can't listen to music / hear people calling me..
I have restarted the phone like 5 times and nothing happens,. I also tried to reset the phone..
Anyone got the same problem ?.Check the headphone jack for debris one more time. The symptoms certainly suggest that debris is the cause. Shine a light down in there.(Be Careful)
Restore "As a New Device". The backup can put a glitch back on the phone. If that does not work, use your warranty. If you are out of warranty, restore again and unplug to test before choosing from backup or as new(sometimes corrupted data on the iphone can cause strnage behavior).
If all else fails check on price of out of warranty repair. -

My daughter's iphone 4 is stuck in headphone mode. we can hear her ringtone, but her text tone, email tone, any alert tone is unable to be heard. I have plugged in the headphones and taken them out several times and i've also blown into where the headphones go and it hasn't fixed the problem so I tried rebooting it twice and still can't get it to get out of the headphone mode
Try inserting and removing the headphone jack again, multiple times. If that doesn't fix it, you may have a hardware problem with the headphone sensor, which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation.
Edit: be sure to make an appointment before going. -
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!- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.

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.

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). -
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! -
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. -

Hi econorail,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your phone is acting like the headphones are still plugged in and you are not able to hear from the receiver. You can take a look at the following article for troubleshooting steps to sort out the issue.
