Android Central Question

My LG G2(rooted, with LOS 14.1 flashed) suddenly started showing the headphone and mic icon on the status bar all the time(even when disconnected) today morning.
I tried blowing into the auxiliary port, put the phone into uncooked rice, etc thinking it picked up moisture or water from somewhere.
Now it shows very unusual behavior - I bang the phone on the side of the aux port, and the icon goes away. I connect my headphones to it, the icon comes back, and disconnect them, and the icon still remains. I bang the phone again, the icon is gone. I just realized that everytime I try to call somebody, the icon comes back again and doesn't go after the call.

Any help will be appreciated.
