To my knowledge my phone has no water damage and has never been submerged. However, about 3 to 4 months ago I dropped it, causing damage to the bottom right corner, so my warranty is voided.
Today for the first time, my phone started acting like my headphones were plugged in.
Called Verizon and went through trouble shooting - consisted of soft and hard resets - None of these things corrected the issue.
I attempted to plug in the headset and unplug it to see if that would trip it to turn off the ear phones - worked for about 30 seconds, then issue repeated.
Then I got a can of dust off (ya know, for computer keyboards and what not, the spray can of air) and sprayed out the headphone jack.
Instantly the headphone icon went away, and thus far, the problem hasn't come back. Phone is working like a peach again. Thought I'd share in case it works for someone else having the same problem.
