Why is my phone stuck on headphones mode

i don't know why but when I unpluged my iPhone out of the auxiliary port it didn't switch back to the speakers.. I have done this a million times before and this has never happened. I've tried plugging it back in a few times but still hasn't worked

  • Why is my iPod stuck in headphones mode? How can I change it?

    I was taking a shower and I had my iPod next to the shower playing music.  When I came out as soon as I turned of the music it was stuck in headphones mode. What happened?

    - 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 iOS device. 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 iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • Phone stuck in headphone mode

    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.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
