This worked for my phone:
>>I signed up for these forums just for this topic. I ran into the same thing and didn't want to replace my phone. After digging around with the hardware a bit, I saw that there is a small button at the bottom of the headphone jack with two copper leads on either side. Presumably that button tells the phone when a jack is inserted and it seems to get stuck. Taking something smaller than a headphone jack and digging into it unstuck the button and everything started working again. I think that's why some people are able to fix it by reinserting the headphones multiple times. Eventually it hits that button just right and it pops back out.
It doesn't explain why resetting would help anything, though. That sounds like software. Maybe we're dealing with multiple issues here?
