Default Audio-Jack Issue

Hi All...

I was listening to some tunes on the Mozart today with my hands-free plugged into the device... and later when i tried playing audio songs over the speaker, it didn't output the sound.

To cut a long story short, even though i've plugged in and taken out the hands free numerous times, the phone still/always thinks that i have the hands free plugged in... thus no audio over speakers and i can't answer phones either without either plugging in the hands-free or turning on the speaker phone...

Any ideas on how to get this corrected?

Regards.

Ok.... so here's it got fixed... FINALLY!

I was at the gym today and while working on a machine, the phone slid out of my pocket and fell onto the floor... And VOILA!!! It now works properly! :P

So if you ever run into this weird ****ty problem and have already tried putting in and taking out the handsfree/headset as well as soft-reset and hard reset... then just hold the device at waist length and let it fall onto the floor...:P

i'm guessing when you plug in the hand free, it actually push something down and doesn't come back up, that's why it keep on remains on hand free mode. Just my 2cent, probably a strip on the phone to see the hardware design.

That's my thought was... but i tried using a pin to touch every single pin i could find in the hole... but no luck with that.

Ever since i dropped the phone and it started working properly again, i haven't had this problem again...
