iPhone 6Plus Anomalies

Thank you for the link; was hoping for tech support. Reading stories of people sucking on a jack isn't the help I am seeking. I have used compressed air into the jack and through reading understand that while I'm in headphone mode most of the issues I'm having will present. So I will focus on trying to get my phone to understand that there is no headphone plugged into the jack. I wonder if this is an electronics problem from age(?). Going to Verizon tomorrow to see what they can do and wish Apple had some more direct support options than a "this is what worked for me" chat.

I do appreciate your response.

Thank Deggie and my previous final comment was sincere. Guilty that I didn't read any terms of use, but did realize that this is a user forum. My comment re: reading what worked for others was short and perhaps I didn't choose the right example to post, which was my point. The link is full of all kinds of ideas and while those actions may have had a correlation or causation relationship with someone's phone working; the link is really "just a bunch of things to try". While I didn't explain every single thing I did, I did also try the "calling", the "unplugging" and the "sucking" BEFORE blowing air. Yep, this old headphone jack is the same as my 1984 Walkman jack and I will contact Apple before Verizon. I agree that I probably need a new phone and apologize if my initial response seemed curt. Cheers,
