Hello,

Ive been having this strange problem on a pretty regular basis in that my iPhone 3G thinks that even when there is no headphone connected, it will route all audio to the headphones. This is incredibly frustrating as it will randomly happen even when on a call.

Ive noticed that a number of people have had this problem and have suggested the following methods for solving it:
1. put the headphones in and out of the socket several times
2. Push some cotton down into the headphone socket (with a paperclip) and pull it out again to remove any dust/debris.
3. reset the phone.

See this, this one, this one and this one

Ive done all of these and its still occuring. Whats worse is that I think its happening far more often now that its on 3.0.

Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone else have any useful suggestions before i put it in for service?

It's driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance!

I have been having the same issue over the last few months with my partners 3G... I tried all the recommended resolves but the issues continued. So I contacted Apple directly and explained the problem and its intermittent behavior... They got me to send the iPhone back and with 10 business days I received the replacement. I only had 17 days remaining warranty so I also grab the newly available iPhone extended warranty via the online store.
