Is my Iphone stuck in headphone mode or is it a broken earpiece?

Just yesterday I got a pre-owned Iphone 4S. I was making a test call to make sure that I was connected to the service. I notice immediately that I could only hear the other end when either headphones were in or it was on speakerphone.

When I'm not making calls I can hear the clicks of typing and turning the device on and off just fine.

I was just wondering if my Iphone is stuck in headphone mode or not and if there's a way I can fix it.

Where did you get urs from? I'm trying to purchase a 4s out of contract; I hear Game Stop has them pre-used. I do not want to pay $400, if possible… I'm not due for an upgrade with my carrier until next Summer. Where can I get one?

Visit a apple store, they will provide some more information and might be able to repair the phone or order a new one.

  • Somehow, a huge piece of the headphone jack got stuck in the headphone port, and I can't find any I think the headphone type is just a normal iPhone headphone. So ground, audio, mic and some of the plastic, or whatever it is, around it, got stuck in there, and it's not super deep, probably because it's almost the whole headphone jack, but it's still in there. Someone please help! I can't find anything! It's just the headphone jack tip that got stuck for everyone else! It's a laptop.
  • No sound out of my iPhone 4s after broken earpiece lodged into earphone hole Ohkay. So I was at my neighbors house a couple weeks ago & one of their younger cousins took my iPhone 4s off the counter & tried to put a mini speaker in it. When she took the speakers back out, the part you insert in the iPhone broke off into my phone. I can't get it out so it won't play any music/sound out of my iPhone. What do I do? Is there any way that I can get it out? I have tried a lot & nothing seems to work.
  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on headphone mode? I did a restart a couple of times. It doesn't work. So now when someone calls me or when I all them I have to put it on speaker. And it doesn't make sounds. It doesn't ring. At all.
  • My iPhone 4S is stuck in headphone mode, what do I do? I can't hear any sound, no sound on any apps and no sound in my music library. The volume bar has disappeared and only with head phones can I hear sound. What do I do?
