My phones locked on headset mode

I use a cocktail stick cut in half to push slowly and gently into the headset socket.

This releases the switch and it reverts to a normal profile.

Alternatively - do a search and there will be lots of threads about this fault.

When this happened to me the end of my headphone adapter had broken off. It was well jammed in there which was a right pickle of a situation to be in. Finally got Orange to replace the phone. If there's nothing stuck in there the cocktail stick method should work a treat.

People used to suggest blowing hard in the headset socket. Thing is my old SPV kept getting stuck and in the end it got so bad I had to send it to be repaired under warranty.

Best of luck with it...

I'm sure a quick poke is better than a blow. :wink:

Personal preference really.

But at the end of the day chances are you will have to send the

phone off for repair if the problem re-occurs.

i used old nokia headphones to release the catch in the headphone socket at the base, using old nokia headphones u only have to push headphones half way in to use them at full volume. alternative idea if ur warranty is up and ur afraid to jam or break the connector at the base of the headphone socket. havent checked if incoming calls can be recieved with the nokia headset, try it and see.

just be gentil
