Out
of no where my phone thinks I have headphones plugged
in and this is something really irritating. I can’t listen music and
YouTube videos with my headphone. That’s creepy. Isn’t it? Time comes when you
don’t carry headphones with you and imagine you can’t attend calls and listen
to your favorite songs while travelling your college or favourite place just because
your phone thinks you have headphones plugged in.
Why phone stuck?
Your phone can stick on headphone mode
due to number of reasons. Let’s so through it.
· Unplugging
Headphone before pausing.
Your phone
thinks that you have headphones plugged in because you would have dealt in a
wrong manner. It’s always suggested to pause your video or music or your FM
radio before unplugging your headphones to avoid such unpleasant issues. If you
had not paused your music your phone think that it was just a jerk and your
headphone is still connected while it’s not and hurrah you are here with a
great issue.
· Water
Splash
It is possible that you got up
to wash your hands after a pizza party and accidentally splashed some tiny droplets
into your headphone jacket, which makes it feel as you are plugged in with the
headphone.
· Water Damage
Ever made plans to visit beach
with your friends and family and forgot to put your phone back in your car?
Yeah mistakes do happen but don’t blame those mistakes for this headphone issue
because I was you who took your phone to the beach.
· Unplugging in Harsh Way
Yeah it happens when you are
effed up with something or you fought with someone on the call and through your
phone to the bed or table without thinking that you have headphones in your ear
and congratulations that got pulled and here you are with the greatest issue of
all time.
How to Recover Headphone Jack
Issue?
Don’t worry we have got you covered. Here are number of ways and
solutions you can try to get the things filled.
· Android Application
There is an Android application
on your Google play Store named HF Button Widget. You can download this
app from the play store and you can do a lot of great stuff with it. It works
with Android 4.4.4 Kitkat and beyond on all the latest versions. You just need
to make a shortcut of this app from your settings on your homepage screen and
you can go with it quite easily. You just need to tap this button to get the
work done.
· Take
a look inside
You should take a lock inside
your phone headphone jack to see if there is something n the jack which is
casing the issue or you have something else in your jack. If you saw some piece
of paper or something else like this you can go with it and just remove it and
probably your jack will work perfectly now.
· Use Cotton Bud
Using cotton bud in the
headphone jack isn’t the bad idea as you can remove the duct in this manner.
This is possible that you might have some tiny dust particles placed inside
your headphone jack and removing them will help you to make your headphone jack
work. The easiest way would be to blow air in your headphone’s jack to make it
clean and dust free.
· Use Paper Clip
You can use paper clip to remove
something if found inside your phone’s jack but you need to be extremely
careful as this can damage your phone’s headphone jack completely. There were
some cases in which people used something sharp to deal with it and they ended
up destroying their phone’s jack. Boom!
· Reinserting
Headphone
You can reinsert your headphone
into the jack to check it out or you can also try different headphones into
your jack. Try your friend’s headphone maybe it works fine with your phone’s
jack.
· Restarting
Phone
You should restart or reboot
your phone once after trying all above things maybe it helps you out to solve
the issue so once its done you can try your phone’s jack by inserting headphone
and playing something. It’ll work for you in some cases.
· Factory Rest
You can reset your phone to
complete factory settings so it’ll remove any issue on the software or the
phone but before updating It is highly recommended to make back up of your
important data because once you have factory reset your phone, you will loose
your whole data on the phone’s memory so either make a back up of it on your
memory card or make a backup on you laptop or use any cloud server.
· Removing Battery
You can remove your battery from
your phone and give it some rest if none of the above method worked for you.
I’ll recommend taking your phone battery off for some time to give it a rest
and after a while place your battery in your phone any give it a look. It is
possible that it’ll work for you in a magnificent way.
· Use
Vacuum
You can create vacuum inside the
jack using vacuum cleaner or creating vacuum in it using something else so it
can suck out anything stuck in the jack which will make your phone works
perfectly.
Visit Service Center
If none of the above ways worked for you then sadly you are not
an engineer and you need to bring this freaky phone to your phone’s service
center and you can face two situations there. If your phone is in warranty then
why do you even worry? You will get your worked done pretty soon and without
any cost because this is something what big companies do to protect their
customer’s trust and if your phone is not in warranty or you have lost the
warranty card then you need to pay some little amount to get the stuff done but
that amount is nothing in front of the issue. That’s just 1 or 2$.
