Methods To Fix Phone Stuck in Headphone Mode?

We have some methods to get rid of headphone mode. 

These methods are.

Method 1: 

Clean Your Headphone Jack/Port

Clean your jack with the help of a hair dryer or you can also clean with the help of a toothbrush. In my case I use a toothbrush.
Please clean gently. If this method does not fix your problem, head over to the second method.

Method 2: 

Instantly Fix with Installing Apps

The chances of removing the headphone icon from notification is 80% if you follow these rules. Basically, this method will help to identify your software and hardware problem in your phone and disable phone headphone mode.

1 – Install Earphone Mode Off Application From Play store:

This app converts your headphone mode into speaker mode within a few clicks. I used this method and it worked fine.
    In short:
    Open & Click Earphone mode off app> Go> Click To Change

  For More detail follow this step:

1. Open Earphone Mode Off app,
2. Wait a second, cancel ads and Click on Go
3. Again Remove ad, click on Click to change option. 

Boom, your phone is into speaker mode. You can also Test your sound. 

I tried many apps but it did not work, maybe because of the Android version or hardware problem . If your problem is still not fixed, I list a couple of apps hope they will perfectly work for your phone. 

Others App to Remove Headphone Jack Icon:

1. Disable HeadPhone (Enable Speaker)
2. Lesser AutoSwitch
3. HF Button Widget (<=KitKat)(Kitkat or below version only)

Note: These applications should run in background to keep functioning. Some apps may be working but still showing the headphone icon, so you have to test the sound whether it is in speaker mode or not.

Sometimes restarting your phone can solve your many software and hardware issues. If your phone has some software issues then this may help your problem by restarting phone OS. When you restart your phone it will also restart your operating system so if there is any problem in combination of software and hardware then it may solve your problem. If not try another method.

When you remove your headphone from the port, the phone may still be stuck on headphone mode. The main reason behind this may be the Operating System. Plug in your headphones, power down the phone, power on the phone then remove the headphones. This may also help you. So, with the help of headphones it is possible to remove headphone mode on your phone.
