[Iphone] Calls only through Headphones

Clareman · 2009-05-27 17:38:10

Hi all, For some reason my iphone things that headphones are always plugged in, nothing goes through the normal phone functions, I've tried plugging in and out headphones repeatedly, both on a call and normally, can anyone advice what I can try?

Hmmmm, sounds vaguely familiar.

Watna had a post somewhere (might actually be here) about a similar-ish type problem. Something to do with a small piece of debris getting stuck in the headphone socket, tricking the iPod Touch in her case, into thinking the headphonse were still connected.

Indeed. Insert and remove the headphone jack several times to sweep out whatever is in there.
