My mum always reminds me
“If you don’t take off your headphones, there’s a high chance that it’s either you going to be deaf, or you’re iPhone’s going to be deaf.”
So like I always do, I didn’t really care much.
Days went by until one gloomy Friday. I was at home, listening to my Spotify using my headphones and it came to a point when I wanted to place a call to my friend, so I had to unplug the headphones.
Suddenly I hear nothing. Now for a second I thought I actually went deaf but thankfully in almighty Spongebob’s name I wasn’t. The next course of action I took was I try to check my iPhone whether it produced any sounds such as whilst typing on the keyboard or whether it played any of the ringtones.
Again it didn’t make any sound. At this point I was getting frustrated and felt like throwing my iPhone out of the window. I kept checking to see what the heck is wrong with it and I came to find out that my iPhone got stuck on headphones mode when I saw this cowbell-like symbol saying “Headphones” underneath it …

So what did I do? I tried these thirteen ways that I’m about to show you right now. I’m sure, at least one of the ways, will fix your iPhone stuck in headphones mode too like it did for me. 🙂
iPhone Stuck in Headphones Mode: 13 Ways
1. Remove your iPhone’s case.
Make sure that you remove your iPhone’s case and check if that does the trick.
Most of the time, it could just be that your iPhone’s case could be blocking the pathway to the audio jack which causes your iPhone to remain stuck in headphones mode.
2. Turn your iPhone off and back on again.
Even if you’ve removed your iPhone’s case but you still find that the iPhone stuck in headphones mode, then what you can do is turn your iPhone off and back on again to make sure that the problem does not lie in your software.
3. Plug in and out.
Yeah I know, you already tried it so many times, but it’s still worth a shot.
Try plugging in your headphones and out a few more times, as sometimes your iOS can forget that your headphones were disconnected. There’s one thing you should make sure when you plug in, that is you should be able to hear the audio clearly on your headphones.
Once you are pretty sure it works all great, only then should you slowly stop the audio, clear your history (by double tapping your Home button and making sure no background apps are running) and then firmly plug out your headphones.
4. Try another pair of headphones.
Different headphones have different configurations.
So if you do have the original Apple’s EarPods (and I really mean the originals, not the fakes) then go ahead and give that a go. Whichever brand of headphones you were using before your iPhone got stuck, it could be possible it may not have been entirely compatible with your iPhone because there are certain types and brands out there that may not sync perfectly with your iPhone because of its different configurations.
It’s completely fine if you do not have the original Apple EarPods with you, any headphones would do (you can try asking your friends or your siblings) just as long as it is not some Chinese knockoffs or something you found lying somewhere (which could have been the reason why someone left it there in the first place).
5. Go AirPlane Mode 
Going AirPlane mode is kinda like going offline except you don’t really turn off your iPhone altogether. I’ll show you how you can do that if you’ve never done it before.
Step 1: Go onto your iPhone and then swipe up from the bottom of your Home screen to open your Control Center
Step 2: Then tap to turn on AirPlane Mode. Give it a good 5 minutes or so and then turn it back off to see if your speakers are working again.
Another Way
Step 1: You can also go onto your Settings and then turn on your Airplane Mode by tapping the slider to turn it on. Give it a good 5 minutes or so in AirPlane Mode and then turn it back off to see if your speakers are working again.
6. Use a Bluetooth speaker.
I know what your thinking,
“How is this any different from the way you manually plug in and out using the headphones?”
You see, if you’re stuck on headphones mode as a result of your plug in headphones or earphones then you can easily undo it if you use a Bluetooth speaker or a pair of Bluetooth headphones as they work without the need to plug them in since they are wireless.
So when you connect your iPhone to a Bluetooth speaker or a pair of Bluetooth headphones, your iPhone will recognize the Bluetooth device and will also know when you disconnect it (since you’re not unplugging it manually which can sometimes be confusing to your iPhone).
This is a pretty neat trick that you can do and all you’ll need is either a Bluetooth speaker or a pair of Bluetooth headphones that you have lying around.
Once you have that, all you have to do is connect your iPhone to your Bluetooth speaker or the Bluetooth headphones, give it a good 5 minutes or so and then disconnect it back to see it has fixed your iPhone. 🙂
7. Give your iPhone a Hard Reset.
One of the best ways to fix any problem you might get with your iPhone: whether your iPhone won’t charge or if you find your iPhone does not turn on or if your iPhone does not ring when you get an incoming call. Just any situation you find yourself stuck in, this is your escape rope.
And that escape rope is to give your iPhone a Hard Reset.
Now a hard reset is really not that hard to understand. Just think of it as how you normally restart your iPhone but with this it clears more of your device’s unwanted garbage memory. (it’s NOT your storage. You won’t lose any of your data).
So here’s how you do it:
If you’re on an iPhone 6S or older
Step 1: Go ahead and press and hold your Power button together with your Home button at the same time. Hold it for at least 20 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
If you’re on an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus
Step 1: Go ahead and press the Power button and your Volume Down button at the same time. Hold it for at least 20 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
If you’re on an iPhone 8, 8 Plus or on iPhone X
Step 1: Quickly press and release your Volume Up button then press and release your Volume Down button.
Step 2: Then, press and hold your Power button (iPhone 8 or 8 Plus) or your Side button (iPhone X). Hold it until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
Now try and see if your iPhone’s speakers are working and that it has fixed it from being stuck on headphones mode. However, if you still find your iPhone stuck on headphones mode, then it’s time to get your hands dirty.
8. Look inside your iPhone.
Go ahead and grab your torchlight.
If you don’t have one lying around then you can go under the street lamp and try there. Or you could turn on some lights around your house (if you have lights), or you could light up one of those flaming torches you might see in Indiana Jones.
Whatever light source you have, just use it to take a look inside your headphone jack and look for whether if there is any dirt stuck inside it as this may be the reason why what’s causing your iPhone to be stuck in headphones mode.
I’ll show you how can clean your iPhone if you do find some debris in there with the next method. Keep reading.
9. I’m going in! Cover me.
Think of it like a game of Operation.
So you are going to need to be very gentle as you go into your headphone jack to clear up the debris that’s making your iPhone stuck in headphones mode. It’s very easy to mess this up all by just poking it a little too hard or if you hit one of the very fragile components. If that unfortunately does happen then all I can say is that your iPhone will probably meet Steve Jobs before you do.
I’ll show how you can clean your iPhone safely with these three simple tools.
-
Cotton Buds
You have cotton buds lying around right? I’m sure you do.
Grab one and use it to clean inside your headphone jack gently.
Since they’re soft you don’t really have to worry about it being harmful.
-
The BIC Pen
Ahh the BIC Pen..
This is a pretty neat trick and it works well to grab all that debris that might be found in your Headphone jack.
Here’s how you can use a BIC pen to remove debris from inside your iPhone’s headphone jack.
Step 1: Grab any standard BIC pens that you have lying around, and remove the cap.
Step 2: Now try and pull the pen tip from its plastic casing. It will be much easier if you use pliers to pull it. The tip is the one that you use to write with, attached to a circular plastic cartridge that contains the ink.
Step 3: You’re doing great! Now all you will need is the opposite end of the cartridge as it is the perfect size to remove all the annoying debris from inside your iPhone’s headphone jack.
Step 4: Just go ahead and insert the end into your iPhone’s headphone jack and gently twist it to loosen the debris, then once you’re done just shake it out of your iPhone.
That’s it! 🙂
-
Blow into it
This is not an insect repellent.
Another way is for you to blow into the headphone jack.
Just give it a gentle blow and then try shaking it to get rid of the debris out of your iPhone’s headphone jack.
You can also try using a can of compressed air to blow air directly into your iPhone’s headphone jack.
Even if you can’t see anything stuck inside, using compressed air can loosen tiny debris that might be clogging up your iPhone’s headphone jack.
All you have to is just be gentle by starting from the outside (rather than sticking the hose all the way into your iPhone’s headphone jack) and then only should you work your way in.
10. Update your iOS.
By making sure to keep your iOS updated, you’ll not only manage to fix to your iPhone stuck in headphones mode but also you’ll prevent a lot of software related bugs and problems from ever coming up in the future.
All you have to do is just follow these simple steps to get your iPhone updated and then you’re good to go.
Step 1: On your iPhone’s home screen, Click on your Settings
Step 2: Now once you’re in, Select General
Step 3: Next, click on Software Update. Give your iPhone a few seconds or so for it to check for any new updates.
Step 4: If there are updates, follow through with the update. Once you’re done it should fix your iPhone being stuck in headphones mode. If this doesn’t do the trick, then you know it’s something that’s got to do with the hardware side of your iPhone.
(You can proceed above to know how you can clean your headphone jack as this might do the trick. However, if that too doesn’t fix it then jump to the last method on this page.)
11. Change your iPhone’s Settings.
Did you know?
💡 There’s actually a setting that deals with where audio is heard during phone calls and FaceTime audio calls.
I’ll show you how you can get there and make the changes that’ll fix your iPhone:
Step 1: Head over to your Settings, and then General.
Step 2: Next select Accessibility
Step 3: Scroll down until you see Interaction
Step 4: Keep Scrolling, until you see Call Audio Routing
Step 5: Sweet! Now all you have to do is just make sure it is set to Automatic, if yours is not then choose Automatic from the list.
Now if you already find that it is already set to Automatic and it is still not working, then try and test by setting it to Speaker.
To check if this did the trick, all you have to do is just place a call or a Facetime audio call, and then see for yourself if your speaker works.
If it does, then just go back to this same setting and change it back to Automatic. 🙂
12. Put your iPhone in DFU Mode
If you find that none of the above methods work to fix your iPhone stuck in headphones mode then it’s pretty likely you might have a corruption in your iPhone’s iOS itself.
Let me ask you, have you ever jailbroken your iPhone?
If yes, then there lies the problem. You see since you made some tweaks here and there from Cydia, this can sometimes change your system files in your iPhone altogether.
So what’s the solution?
You should go for a DFU mode restore for your iPhone. This should patch up all the corrupted iOS files and the files will be replaced with new ones that should get your iPhone running as good as ever.
Note
Make sure that you have backed up your iPhone using your iTunes. Do that before moving on with the steps below.
Here’s how you can put your iPhone into DFU mode:
Step 1: Go ahead and hold the Power button on your iPhone for 3 seconds.
Step 2: Keep holding the Power button but now you have to also hold down on your Home button for 15 seconds.
Step 3: Release the Power button while continuing to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds.
Step 4: Alright! Now your device should prompt with the Connect to iTunes Screen
Step 5: Now plug in your iPhone into your computer and open your iTunes. It will either prompt to restore and update or you can manually restore using the following steps.
iOS Restore Steps
Before you restore your iPhone using DFU mode, make sure that you:
- Verify whether you are using the latest version of iTunes.
- You have backed up your iPhone.
- Transfer and sync content from your iPhone to your computer.
Restoring your iPhone
Step 1: Go ahead and connect your iPhone to your computer.
Step 2: Now select your iPhone when it appears in your iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and then click the Restore button.
Step 3: Click Restore.
Step 4: After you have finished with your restore, your iPhone will restart. Then, you should see Slide to set up. From here on, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
Step 5: You can always restore your device from a previous backup if you need it or you can also choose to set it up as new.
That’s it!
13. Who are you going to call? Ghostbusters!
Nah I am kidding,
Well if none of the above ways did work for you then you should meet up with the geeks at your nearest Apple Support or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
Share this monster guide to anyone, your friends or your family and help them if their iPhone is stuck on headphones mode.
They’ll really appreciate it. 🙂
AMAZING!!! Thank you! I put it in airplane mode and tested the button on the side which puts the phone on silent; and I noticed it no longer said headphones. I was preparing myself mentally for a new phone but you saved me some money lol
I tried it all and nothing worked, till I saw Samantha’s comment. Went back to airplane mode and slid the silent button and now it works. Thanks Samantha.
OMG it’s working now!!!!!! It was driving me nuts. Thank you so much. All I had to do was pkug in earphones and then take it out!!! Thank you sooo much!
Thanks, the airplane mode did the trick for me..was really frustrated…thank you for your advice.
Guys, guys i found the way!! You have to go to Settings -> Sounds -> Ringtones -> Try and put any of them. And I heard sound from my speakers as I pushed volume buttons to check. It also was written as “Sound effects”, then i went to my music and I tried playing it and YES it worked! Good luck!!!!
Thank you very much for saving my iPad. 🙂
Yooo. Thank you so much. The air plane mode worked.
4. Try another pair of headphones
This helped me. I just plugged the other headphones, plugged in and plugged out, problem solved.
Thanks.
Had the same problem just now and I thought for sure that I had to phone Apple to have it fixed. I’m using iPhone 6S Plus. I tried everything on this list. There is one step though that worked for me but isn’t on this list. I went to Settings>General>Accessibility>Voiceover and turned it on. After that I went back to Home screen and told Siri to turn off Voiceover. Then everything was back to normal. That trick worked like a charm.
Thank you Marie. 🙂
Genius!
Yes!! This is the only thing that worked. I tried everything else! Glad I decided to read the comments.
Thank dear Marie,
I tried all these ways none of them worked, but when I tried what you said it solved the problem! Thanks a bunch!
Thank you, Marie! This was finally the thing that worked for my phone!
Same here!!! This worked for me!
Thanks you that Airplane mode did it!! The other 4 didn’t. But thanks so much!!
Oh my god I tried everything, I was for certain the cotton swab trick was going to work because I had accidently gotten water inside the headphone jack. I cleaned it until it was no longer damp but it still said headphones. I tried trick #10 and it works perfectly now. I just had to switch it from automatic>speaker and then back to automatic. THANK YOU SO MUCH <3
After trying #1 thru #5, the #8 push a cotton swab in, was the only thing that worked for my fone.
After I did step 8 and 9! Step 10 finally did it! Thank you so much this is so helpful and awesome!
You rock! I was on hold for several minutes with Sprint waiting for help in the Chat Room since my iPhone SE was stuck on headphones mode. I searched the web for help and saw your page. What worked for me was setting it on Airplane mode for several minutes, then i turned off Airplane mode and now it’s good to go. (Powering down did not work or plugging in and out the headphones). I am so happy now. 🙂
Thank you so so so much! I turned on and off airplane mode and it worked! You saved my life lol
Thank u so much. You are great. I turned on airplane mode for 15 minutes after solved my issue
Thanks a ton for this guide man!! You’re a saviour..water spilled on my phone and since then it had no sound..i changed the settings to speaker and rhen back to automatic!! N it worked..thankyou once again
Tried all your 13 tricks and nah didn’t work . So I tried my own just pop ya SIM card slide out no need to remove sim and yep it worked
Turning the airplane mode on released the headphone mode. Thanks a lot
Funny, that does work.
Thankyou so much … I tried some other techniques except Airplane mode but bluetooth headphone technique worked really well for me .
I was trying so many things from last 2-3 hours . Finally I found some of the new techniques from you. Thanks once again
I put is in airplane mode AND updated the iOS. It worked but I don’t know which action was responsible
Thank you so much, I used a plastic tooth floss and broke up some debri towards the sides of my charging port aka lightning headphone jack.. works like a charm.. thanks
#5 works! U d mvp today!
You are AWESOME!!! Thanks man, #9 worked for me after several failed attempts from #1-5, 7 and 8.
Thanks Thanks and Infinite Thanks
Point number 10 shoot the enemy, otherwise i almost gave up with using suggestions from various sites, u r a star ⭐️
Q tip worked for me! Thanks!
You have blessed my life
hi there.none of these are working for me,and my phone just keeps switching back to headphone mode ,and i have never plugged headphones into my phone,
anybody got any other ideas.
Hey Shane,
Try one of these guides which me and a few others have found to have been useful in fixing this.
iPhone stuck in “headphones” mode | Official Apple Support Communities
My iphone 6 is stuck on headphones mode. | Official Apple Support Communities
Let us all know, Shane, on how it goes alright? 🙂
The Airplane mode fixed it for me! Thanks for your help.
#8 compressed air worked. Tried 1-7 first. Thanks,
I also had the same problem (Stuck in Headphone mode). I tried the connect with a Bluetooth speaker and magic! I’m back to normal and not stuck in the headphone mode! Thank you!!!!
The q-tip method worked for me but it only fit after I cut one of the ends off. I tried everything e is this because The Q-tip didn’t fit in my headphones I was scared to cut the end off because I thought it would damage the jack but I did it eventually and it didn’t damage it whatsoever!!
This info was a Godsend! Not sure if it was the airplane mode or the q-tip that did the trick but I’m so thrilled the expense of a new phone is not in my future.
The easiest way I did it was just going to my settings & playing a ringtone!
I have a 6plus and airplane mode worked for me! Apple and their quirks lol
Thanks , re switching worked
Thank you! Totally saved my ass I’d read like 5 other blogs and nothing was working, but the airplane mode did the trick! Cheers
Thank you so much for the airplane mode step. I thought my phone was broke and finished. You really saved me thank you so much!
my iphone 6s+ suffered this so i tried all this and nothing worked. So i offed the phone and kept it aside for 8 hours or so,i onned it and now its perfectly fine
If all the above didn’t works,u mat try this.
Turn on the Siri and say something and it’s worked like charm
I asked Siri the temperature in Lake Tahoe…she replied 44 degrees loud and clear. Problem solved!
Number 6 worked for me. Paired with a Bluetooth speaker then disconnected. All sorted. Thanks for this helpful guide.
Nothing works for mt at all. Went to apple store and they asked for $400 for replacement 🙁
Thank you so much for saving my phone!! I tried too clean the jack and it worked!!! I think it’s because i like to bring it to the bathroom! Hahahaha. Anyway, thanks again!
Thanks for the tips. Was freaking out cause my iPhone i had bought brand new outright this year. I managed to fix it by plugging in my headphones and then closing down all the apps running in the background and then unplugged the headphones. Hey presto iPhone speakers began working again! Huge life saver. Thankyou x
Turned on Aeroplane mode, turned the phone off and turned it back on again. You’re a genius, thank you!
Airplane mode worked for me. Thank you so much.
Number 10 worked for me. Got drenched in the rain tonight and I was guessing that had something to do with it. Thanks a lot.
I shoulda tried Airplane mode first but Bluetooth speaker did the trick. Thank you!
Thank you, connecting to a Bluetooth device worked for me
Well done………saved me a trip to Genius Bar
BerThe Cotton buds worked!!!!!!! I’m so happpy!!!!!!! Thank youuu!!!!!
I had the same problem with my brand new corporate issued iphone and blue tooth headset. The problem is that if you look really closely at the icon in the upper right corner, it is in headset & bluetooth mode. Simply turning off the bluetooth brought the phone back to normal. Is there anyway to tell iphone to only use bluetooth when on phone and leave other functions through internal speaker?
Thank god After a struggle I got my phone to Normal by Using another Headset thank you very much
Thank you so much … connecting to a Bluetooth speaker and then disconnecting it did the trick for me … god bless
Nothing worked until I switched off and put in the sun with jack facing the sun. 5 minutes later it worked. Phew.
Thank you so much! The Bluetooth speaker method worked for me. You are a genius! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Short of opening the phone up, I tried pretty much everything on the list to no avail last night. Woke up this morning and guess what, working 100% now! Not sure which step did the trick in the end but thanks
It worked props to you….. I already called someone to fix my phone…. You saved my money. The airplane mode did it for me
Thank you!.. “Plug in and out” worked
The Q-Til WORKED!!!!!!!!! Thank u thank u . You are the best!!!!!
Airplane mode method saved the day. Thank u
OMG!!! I absolutely tried every method on different websites and nothing worked on me, until i saw one saying update your IOS so i tried to do this but my phone only had few mb left so there were not enough storage to do this, so i stated to delete some apps and half way through it, headphone mode just suddenly turned off!!!!!!!!! Wtf!!!!!! This is so stangr and weird!!!!!!
Wow I honestly thought nothing would work it was so random with my phone not working but the call audio routing thing worked! Thank you for writing all this so smart!
Thanks my dear friend! Your airplane mode gift me iPhone back !
Tried the airplane mode method and it worked! Thank you for saving me a lot of trouble!
THE AIRPLANE MODE WORK OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I WAS FREAKED OUT BECAUSE I JUST USE THIS PHONE FOR FEW DAYS AND THIS HAPPENED THANK GOD I FOUND YOU SAVIOUR
NO .8 Cotton Buds did my mobile work.
NO. 8. Cotton Buds removes headphone symbol from my QMobile
The accessibility, automatic thingy worked like a charm my brother. You, my friend, are the real MVP!!
Dropped my phone in a bucket of water today, thought I reacted quickly enough to prevent destruction. Everything functioned fine and I didn’t notice the headphones only issue until I tried to show a kid “Mr Bojangles” on YouTube 12 hours later. Just as I was melting down, I begged to Siri to help me fix my headphones problem and she sent me here. Qtip, you, and some loud prayers to God saved the day (and my phone)! Now we’re rocking out to the jingle jangle on my phone!!
Apparently none of them worked for me. My solution was that I went to ringtones and started changing the tones and The speakers started working and it fixed it.
Oh my god! Nothing worked for me and I was about to completely give up and spend a fortune on getting it repaired when I read Samantha’s comments, well Emery’s comments about Samantha’s comments and it worked for me too! I hade a feeling it’s still a little broken, as when I use the silent mode switch it goes back to headphones but so far so good! THANK YOU THANK YOU, THANK YOU, ALL SO MUCH!
Thank you so so so so much,it’s so amazing I just switch to airplane mode 15 minuets and then have voice for anything. I tried many ways but just this worked! You are so smart,hope more people know this so nice way to help them.
None of these were working for me but i left my phone over night and in the morning everything went back to normal !!! i was so stressed but thankfully it healed itself lol
Great! The airplane mode for 5 minutes fixed it. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I had my doubts but it worked after your first tip of removing the case. I thought it was damaged after being in heavy rain, hail and snow last night and noticed my phone was poking out of my pocket. Not sure how removing the case fixed it but it did. You just saved me making an insurance claim
Thanks I tried everything. Took off the case turned off then on and it worked. Crazy.
Its still not working i tried all of the steps and still its not working
Thank you so much for the great “Airplane Mode” tip! I tried everything else like plugging in and unplugging headphones, restarting the phone, etc. and nothing worked until I tried “Airplane Mode” for 15 minutes and it worked great! Thank you!
10. Change your iPhone’s Settings
I tried all the methods bur they didn’t work for me…. however method 10 worked for me. Thanks a MILLION!!!
Deep appreciation.
Thanks, saved my iphone!
Wow thank you I put it in air plane mode nd it’s work
I was about to give up and give Apple Support a call, I cleaned it out with a cotton swab, plugging headphones in and out, resetting, airplane mode, different headphones, all that and nothing…. then i finally tried changing the call audio from automatic to speaker, back to automatic and it works!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Nothing on this list help me fix my phone. But the thing that worked to get the Headphone on to come off was I got a hair dryer and blew hot air Into my head jack and my charging port. I blew it in there while my phone was off and when I turned my phone on it said I had to wait until my phone cool down because the temperature was too hot. As soon as I was able to use my phone though it was fixed.
I tried a lot of the suggested things mentioned here. Finally, I plugged and unplugged a couple of different earbud sets in and out of my phone jack and that finally worked. This was driving me crazy all day today and so glad it is
working now 🙂
This needs to be the number one search on Google, because everyone else says to turn it on and off and then get a new phone if its not fixed. But the airplane mode fix works! I turned airplane mode on for ten minutes and suddenly the volume changed from headphones to ringer. You are a lifesaver! I had literally just paid off my phone and switched carriers, so there was no way to upgrade or get the phone fixed without paying a ton of money. Thank you!
Thank you! I tried #10 and it worked like a charm! Really simple.
This literally saved my life! Thank you so much. I turned my phone off and on again… then I put on airplane mode for 10 minutes and turned it back off. THEN I went onto my settings- selected General- pressed accessibility and changed my ft to speaker… AMAZINGGGFF
Thank you thank you, I got really discouraged when the airplane mode didn’t work for me. I tried almost all of your suggestions and thought I was doomed. Then I connected to something via blue tooth and it switched right out of headphone mode. Hopefully, it is fixed for good. Thank you again!
Thanks for the tips. Connecting to Bluetooth and disconnecting did the trick.
I just experienced my first snow in japan. And the stupid me, played and took pictures forgetting that i dont have the waterproof iphone. When i got home i tried watching the videos, but no audio. Na-da! Alarm bells started ringing and i immediately turned it on and off, plug and unplug… na-da. What i did next, i turned my airplane mode on, played music, connected with my wireless speakers then abruptly turn it off. Then when i heard the music playing from my phone, i swear i could hear the alleluia chorus, thank you so much for the tips! Lifesaver!
THANKS A LOT. It worked well. I mean that earbuds trick worked well. Actually the problem was I keep my cell in my pocket so some of the cotton material of my pocket have made an entry to the headphones jack so I was troubling my cell and now by using earbuds I tried it and I got success. Thanks for the idea.
The article is awesome because it is somewhat in a regular language and even it gave me a humor to read and thus solved my problem. Thanks.!
Cheers✌
Thank you so much! The Bluetooth connection helped me!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I was about to give up but I tried one more thing & it fixed my phone in maybe 1,4 secs. The only thing u have to do is slide up to your control center and slide the volume button hella fast upndown, it worked like a charm
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You saved my phone. Airplane mode for 15 mins did the trick. If my phone falls in water again I know what to do.
#10 worked for me.
Thanks for the great post.
Many thanks for help.. I used cotton buds and it worked.
Thanks god, I literally tried everything and I think the pan trick worked. Thank you so much !
Abosultey nothing worked for me does someone else have any ideas?
Mate I suck out the head phone jack with my mouth and played with the volume buttons and it work!! I tried absolutely everything I nearly gave up and this work
the comments are really helpful. I turned on the airplane mode, then swiped up the control center, and played with the volume up and down, until I saw that Volume icon on screen, instead of Headphones.
You’re my savior, my hero. The airplane mode worked for me! I left it on for about 10 minutes and it did the trick!
Airplane mode! I could kiss you.
Cotton Buds worked with me
Omg it worked! After I tried all the above like cotton bud, turning off my phone, using headphones and plug it out, and none of them worked, finally I simply tried airplane mode and was on for about 4 mins and it worked! So thankful and happy!
THIS METHOD IS CRAZY BUT ACTUALLY WORKS
I was trying these steps for over half an hour and nothing was working. I finally went into an Apple forum and some guy said to suck air from the headphone jack as hard as you could. I did it twice and it finally worked!!
I feel like this step should be included because it works great when you have a drop of water in your headphone jack (or snow in my case). Thanks!
Wew the Q-tip tip worked. Had some gunk inside. the quote by your mama was spot on!
none of these helped off I go to apple
Sorted mine by plugging in and unplugging another set of headphones. (Non apple ones worked first time, didn’t work using the originals although I did try them first, several times!) Thank you for being so helpful and saving me from upgrading early
Omg you saved my life! The bluetooth speaker trick worked for me! Thank you so so much.
Thank you! I tried everything, the cotton bud trick worked for me. I was already thinking of buying a new phone but you saved me!!!!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Your advice worked. Bless you for sharing your wisdom.
This site was a god send.I was starting to panic. lol
The Airplane Method Worked!!! Thanks!!
Thank you so much! Tried everything had to remove the cotton from the cotton bud but it fit perfectly and worked it’s back to ringer! Legend thanks
