8 Why Does My 5s Keep Switching To Headphones After Port Replacement?
Hello,
I am posting this question to ask how to fix a problem with my oud speaker/headphone jack, which arose after replacing the charger port (everything included).
PROBLEM:
When playing sound from the loud speaker, it will randomly switch to headphones while there are none in, leaving me with no sound. I have to fiddle with screws near the charger port to get the loud speaker to work again, but it is only temporary. Very temporary, maybe a minute at most. Or if I use headphones (which do work) and unplug them, volume works for a second.
Any & all help/suggestions are appreciated!!
Could it be installed incorrectly? Or just faulty equipment?
Is this a good question?

Faulty part. Can't think of any other reason.
If you unplug the charging dock assembly, does the headphone jack switching issue still occur?

I had a similar problem where my 5 would say that headphones were connected even if they were not. What I did to fix my problem was take a q-tip and take nearly all the cotton off. I then put it into the headphone jack a few times and when it got to the end 'pushed' a little further till I felt a 'click'. That fixed it for me though I'm not certain it will work for you.
Anyways, hope this helps and if not then @ben is most probably right.

Okay so what I did was jam a headphone jack into the jack hole, loosen the screws, jam it in further until the cord was flush with the phone, then tighten.
Hopefully the volume will stay this time!
