iPhone Stuck in Headphones Mode

By FonePaw | Feb 03 , 2018

"I went for a jog with my headphones plugged into my iPhone 6. After the jog, I removed my headphones from the headphones jack but my iPhone still detects that a headphone is plugged in. When I receive a call, I couldn't hear what the other person was saying. No sound at all! And if I increase the volume level the volume indicator shows "Headphones" instead of "Ringer" Did anybody encounter a similar experience? Voice out to tell me how you solved the issue. Cheers!"

Solution 2: Dry iPhone

Some people got their iPhone wet. Everything worked OK except for it was stuck in "headphone" mode.

Reset iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Reset and choose "Reset All Settings".

 

Restore iPhone: Backup your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud first. The go to settings > general > reset and choose "Erase All Content and Settings" The iPhone should be good to go now. Toggling the volume up/down buttons should just show "Ringer".

I hate these articles. If you can't provide a good solid pinpoint answer, then don't even bother writing. I could just as easily list out a shit ton of "things to try."

Yow I have the same issue and fixed it!
All you need to have is a hairdryer and point at the headphone jack. It should not take long, just have patience!

COM I Just confirmed the great job of keith and his team I can tell you all with all sincerity and trust I now have for him that he is legitimate and very good with his hacking work. He provided me a software for hacking into my friends phone, and I got all the lies and secret he has been having with my girlfriend. It cost a reasonable sum, but the work service delivery and assurance is all worth every penny !....
