I've been an iPhone user since 2008 and now I cannot change to any other phone. It was iPhone 2g earlier and now I am using iPhone 4 for the past 7 months.
Few days back I dropped a few drops of water on my phone. I cleaned it; however, what I did not realize was that some water seeped into the cover I keep my phone in. It was after an hour did I realize what had happened due to water. I received a call and I found out that my phone had gone into headphone mode automatically! No matter what settings I tried changing, the phone wouldn't get back to the ringer mode.
While I was searching for an Apple service center where I could give my phone to be serviced, I found that this was a minor bug in iPhone 4 - the phone going in headphone mode. At times, without the phone getting in contact with water. There are few fixes you can try at home for this problem. You never know what works for you.
1- Remove the phone from any cover you've put it in. Dry the phone properly and then switch off the phone. Clean the headphone socket with a dry cloth. At times, there could a dust particle lodged inside the socked, which your phone may think of as headphones. Switch on the phone and check.
OR
2- Remove the phone from any cover you've put it in. Dry the phone properly and then switch off the phone. Suck air from the headphone socket a few times. Switch on the phone and check.
OR
3- Remove the phone from any cover you've put it in. Dry the phone properly and then switch off the phone. Next, take a zipouch (you know, the plastic bag that you can zip from one side) and fill it with raw rice. Put the phone (which you have switched off) inside the raw rice and close the bag. Ensure that the phone is totally covered with rice. Keep the phone like this for at least 24 hours. More, if the water damage is more than a few drops. Take out the phone after 24 hours & switch it on. VOILA! The phone is back to the ringer mode.
Well, I tried all three of the above methods. The third one worked for me.
More later.
L.O.V.E.
