iPhone Thinks I Have Headphones Plugged In - How To Fix
Hey guys this is Apple Fox here back again with another video. So Here in this video I want to discuss something that happened to me in recent past. A very interesting issue that could easily happen to you as well. And I'll be showing you a way how to fix it. So let's get started.
Now what exactly is the issue? Well maybe it happened to you already, maybe you found this video because you want to know what to do in a situation like this. Basically your iPhone thinks there are headphones plugged in but in reality there is nothing connected to the iPhone.
It happened to me couple weeks ago, I'm using the iPhone 7 as my daily driver but that one doesn't feature a headphone jack. It occured with the iPhone 6 I think, yes it was the iPhone 6 and I had to solve the problem somehow. And I decided to make a video about it becuase it can happen to you as well, and I wanted to let you know what I did.
Because your phone thinks there are headphones, it also behaves like they would be plugged in. What does it mean that it behaves like that? So when you want to play some audio, doesn't matter if it's music or anything else, you won't hear it becuase the built in speaker doesn't get involved at all. Also when you're making a phone call with someone don't expect to hear what they're saying. You may also notice a little icon at the bottom of the lockscreen, on the left side. It can be music or photos, it's basically an app that you use the most when you plug the headphones in. So your iPhone suggests you this app even if there isn't anything connected.
Once you know that the fault is in the heaphone jack, you'll probably look for a service to repair it. But hold on. A brand new headphone jack could cost you more than 50 bucks in authorized service and this expensive replacement isn't probably even needed.
So what should you do? The absolutely first thing to do is to restart the phone. It's recommended to make sure that there isn't anything going on in terms of the software. It's even good to restart it twice just to be completely sure that it's not a software issue. Now when you notice the same weird things happening after restarting then you need to do this.
First of all you need to understand the problem and how the headphone jack works. So inside the hole, there are like small metal balls that stick out. When you put the earpods in, your phone goes into headphones mode and behaves the way mentioned earlier. But when you take them out, one of the balls doesn't stick out because there is a dirt or dust that won't let the balls stick back out. And that's the reason why your phone still thinks there is something plugged in.
So how do you fix it? Some people advise using a hairdryer, or compressed air in order to blow the stuff out of there. This might or might not work. What 100% worked for me was a simple paper clip. Or something similar and sharp like that. You just stick it in and twist it around, trying to find the little piece of dirt causing you all these problems. Don't worry it's not as bad as it seems, it can take some abuse for sure but don't try to destroy it. It's like picking you nose to be honest. And once you find the pice of dirt, then your iPhone should work properly
So that's it guys. I really wanted to make this video, because it's an issue that occurs often to iPhone users and I wanted to help those people out. So thanks for watching hopefully I helped you. In case you're not having this problem then you'll know what to do if it happens in the future. Anyways have a great day and see you next time.
