iPhone: I can’t hear anything!
Oct.19, 2007 in
Geeky/Programming
So today my iPhone started going wacky. Couldn’t hear anything when I called or got called and no sounds were coming out, iPod, keyboard clicks, etc. WTF? The headphones worked, the speakerphone worked, just regular calling didn’t work. It would ring when called, and then yes, it dawned on me..it must think the headphones are still plugged in! (The phone still rings when headphones are plugged in).
How to fix this DUMB issue:
1) put headphones in
2) pull out reaaaaaly slow, or really fast.
I tested by starting a track in the iPod, and then pulled out my headphones fast, it started playing.
yeeeeeessssss!

Steve,
I Googled the problem under the “iphone can’t hear anything” category (if we can say that) and then click a link and came to your site.
I want to say A BIG THANK YOU!! for your post and you have a great site. I owe you a beer! I am in Washington D.C. otherwise I would buy it for you.
Has this happened to you often? I am just wondering if there is a bug on some iphones I have not done a research on this yet.
Thank you,
Joseph

I had a doubt about it but after reading this page I am sure it’s not a software problem

Thanks! This worked after a few attempts at pulling the headphone jack out fast and then slow. The slow worked!!!
