iPhone thinks headphones are plugged in

See our post about Headphone Jack Cleaning....

If you have a 2G iPhone, this is a common issues that was resolved in later model iPhone 2Gs with a redesigned cable for the headphone flex. To remedy this on a 2G iPhone is to plug/unplug headphones into the jack until it works. Sometimes resetting the iPhone with headphones it will resolved this (after removing them when the phone completely boots).

If you have a 3G or 3GS iPhone, this is likely due to liquid damage. Peer inside the jack and see if you find a half-circle of a red marker inside (if red, you have liquid/water damage to the headphone jack). iPhone 3G Headphone Flex Replacement and iPhone 3GS Headphone Flex Replacement
