Part 2. Tips of How to Get iPhone out of Headphone Mode:

Tip 1: Unplug and Re-plug

Unplug and re-plug iPhone headphones several times (at least 7 to 10 times). Use hairdryer or toothpick on the iPhone headphone port to remove broken headphone jack or dust.

Tip 2: Check for water damage

The headphone jack is one of the most exposed areas of the iPhone and it can get damaged unknowingly. If you like to run or exercise while listening to your favorite songs, then it’s possible that the sweat goes to the headphone jack and cause water damage. Even if you have put it in your pocket, it still has too much humidity can cause your phone damaged.

To solve this problem, try to drain your iPhone while checking for water damage. You can always place silica gel dehumidifiers on the phone or keep it in a jar of uncooked rice as well.

Tip 3: Try Another Pair of Headphones

Plug in another pair of headphones, or another speaker, and then unplug them to see if that change a thing. Some cheaper headphone plugs are made to poorer tolerances, and iOS fail to recognize the headphones.

Tip 4: Restart Your iPhone

Restarting your iPhone can be helpful in many situations, which is why it is one of the offered solutions. Press and hold the sleep/wake button, and when the red slider appears, drag it and turn off your iPhone. Press and hold the sleep/wake button to turn on your phone.

If for some reason your iPhone won't turn on and don’t see the slider, you can perform a soft reset. It won’t delete any of your data. To perform a soft reset, follow the steps below:

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button, both at the same time

keep holding both buttons for at least 10 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.

Tip 5: Compressed Air

Try using a can of compressed air to blow air directly into your iPhone’s headphone jack. This may work even if you don’t see anything stuck inside. Compressed air can loosen debris just enough to shake it out or blow it out completely. But be gentle: Don’t stick the hose all the way into your iPhone’s headphone jack and start blowing. Start from the outside of your iPhone and work your way in.

If you don’t have a can of compressed air, you can try blowing it out yourself, but I don’t recommend that option because our breath contains moisture that can damage your iPhone’s internal circuitry. If you feel like you have nothing to lose, then you can give it a go.

Tip 6: Use FoneCope iOS System Recovery
