Thanks! I might try that as I have the same problem with the phone (FP3) being stuck in the headphone mode - unfortunately quite regularly, as I use headphones often…

Thanks for sharing! I have the same problem.
Hi same problem here.
It actually fail when i use the “handfree” button on my earphones to pause the music or receive a call. I restart the phone and it works again. I think it might be that the jack plug is not made for that kind of handfree earphones. Doesn’t bother me so much. I won’t change it. Let’s see.
Hi there, I’m new so please excuse all the potential mistakes…
I have a new Fairphone 3 and I love it. But suddenly I couldn’t hear the other party when calling someone or receiving a call. Took me a while but I found out that the phone just didn’t realise that I unplugged the headphones. So the sound just goes to nowhere.
I tried plugging them back in, using other headphones, nothing… Only thing that works is restarting the phone. That is a temporary solution but I really don’t want to restart my phone everytime I listen to music and then want to call someone…
Does anyone have a similar problem and/or a solution?
Best, Angela
Welcome to the community forum!
I moved your post here to avoid duplicates. Please have a look around at the possible solutions suggested.
Thank you for moving my post! Although I find it a bit sad to find my request lined up with posts from a year ago with no valid solution… I started only using my Fairphone 3 headphones (sound quality is terrible btw especially given the price…) and will try to see if this solves it. But I think that it really is a software issue. Guess we’ll just have to wait on a software fix. Can’t take another year. Or can it…
I understand what you mean, and I understand it can be disappointing. Though you were asking:
You have your answer 
I think the best would be contacting Fairphone support. In any case, don’t hesitate.

Hi there, same problem here!
Also the music sometimes stopped playing while headphones plugged in and phone was moving.
Following solution seems to work for me:
Inside the audioplug on the top is a metal piece. This was bent to the side so there was no firm connection to the audiojack anymore. I bent it back a little bit, now everything seems to work fine.
I opened the phone an took out the top module to fix it, but i think it can also be fixed without opening the phone.
See image attached illustrating the problem/metal thing:
