my iphone is stuck in headphones mode
My iphone is stuck in headphones mode and won't get out of it no matter what I do. I've rebooted the phone, inserted and removed the jack from the socket.
There's a cargo-cult oriented thread on hackintosh: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showt... and on Apple forums http://discussions.apple.com/thread.j... but none of the magic incantations are working for me. Has anyone seen a systematic way to work through this problem?

I’m anxious

The problem is there is dirt in the earjack.
Solution: Get one of those compressed air canisters and shoot a force of air in there to clear it out.
This is what the guys at the Apple store did for me when this happened to mine.

Thank you!!! i resolved and this solution worked for me! -
Inappropriate?You can also try plugging and unplugging the headphones a few times. Mine got stuck in headphones mode once, too.
I wonder if holding the top button to turn of the phone, then turning it back on would help... -
-
Inappropriate?That did the trick. I think. Then it happened again. And stopped happening again. But mostly it works now and blowing air into the hole seems to be a most reliable way of solving the problem.
I’m confident

Inappropriate?you can turn airplane mode on and off again, easier than turning it off -
Inappropriate?Air can worked me too! Thanks
-
Inappropriate?Had the same problem and in a panic took iphone to Genius Bar where they blew pocket lint out of the jack with compressed air.
I’m relieved

Inappropriate?yup, i blew air wit my mouth

thanks guys!! -
Inappropriate?My iphone headphone jack isn't working. Its as if the phone is thinking that opposite. When there are no headphones in I can't hear anything and pressing the volume button shows (headphones)on the screen. However when the headphones are in it acts as if there are none in it and all the sound functions work fine.
I also know that it definitaly thinks that is in headphone mode when nothing is plugged in as while playing music and putting the headphones in but not all the way you can get music to play through the headphones..
I have just recently swapped the back case on my iphone and it came with headphone jack switches etc already in place. All I had to do was attach a cable..
Do you think that there is anyway to get a program to manually change it or a command line that will reverse it? -
Inappropriate?Well I would have to agree with everybody else. Blowing air into the dam hole works. And I got a iPhone 1st gen that I love and it is jailbroken riming 3.1.2 frimware.1 Comment Add a comment

Inappropriate?I have the same problem now ---- nearly. I have an open Iphone 3gs from Italy bought in Aug09.
Since 2 days I only can call by using headphones or the loudspeaker mode!
Ipod is functioning normal. Reboot, new activating.... did not work..
Any ideas, I am depressed already
Thanks, Hans
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Hans
Just blow into the hole and it should be fixed no need to reboot or any other re configuration. -
Inappropriate?Just fixed mine with compressed air too. Googled the question and found this page. Thanks!
I’m happy
-
Inappropriate?Mine is stuck too. Blowing air works for sometimes but only if the cause is dirt. But in my case it didn't. I even replaced the headphone jack for a new one without success. Some reports this could be causes by internal heat (see Apple forums thread "stuck on headphone mode")
Sam: if you replaced the back case, it may have been equipped with the wrong headphone cable. There are 2 different models, and putting the wrong one causes exactly what you described (it reverses the headphone detection/signal cable)
