After Disconnecting headphone adapter, Veer stays in headphone mode

The issue arrises when I disconnect the magnetic headphone adapter. From that point on, the phone still thinks that the headphones are still connected. If I try to make a call, I can not switch the audio control away from headphones, thus I can't hear the caller. 

 

The only solution that I have found is to completely reboot the device.

 

Any solutions for this issue?

Re: After Disconnecting headphone adapter, Veer stays in headphone mode

Oh geez, here we go again with "stuck in headset mode" problems with webOS hardware.  I am very sorry to hear that, mapenn.  You're the first user I know of with this problem since the days of the Sprint Palm Pre.  I thought that HP/Palm fixed that problem is later hardware releases.  Guess not.  On the Palm Pre phone it was actually a hardware problem with the headphones jack.  But on the Veer, you don't have a built-in headphones jack, it's on the magnetic adapter.  I wonder if the magnetic adapter is going bad?  I know this is improbable, but do you know anyone who also has a Veer?  I'd like to see if you can test another magnetic adapter on your phone.

Re: After Disconnecting headphone adapter, Veer stays in headphone mode

Did anybody figure out a solution to this?  I really like the Veer, but my wife and I are both having irritating little problems with it.  I did a full doctor on it over the weekend and it didn't fix the stay-in-headset-mode problem. I use the magnetic adapter in the truck to listen to podcasts, but then I can't answer the phone without rebooting. The wife's Veer's keyboard doesn't light up and her screen will stay black after a call not letting hang up.
