Help HTC G2 headphones question

[FortKnox]

Why is it that I have headphones plugged into my HTC G2 and the speaker is still talking? I had CardioTrainer open, as I was about to go for a jog, when Calendar Snooze started reminding me of a calendar event out loud. I checked the headphone cable's connection, all fine & dandy. And later on the jog, CardioTrainer was saying things through the headphones... what the heck?

you sure they were plugged in all the way?

well, good call, I have to assume I didn't...

I had a similar problem the other day. I thought I had damaged the headphone socket by dropping the phone on the headphone socket end with headphone plugged in. After that the headphones weren't recognised when I plugged them in and so my music was still coming through the main speaker.

I ended up downloading an app that allows me to switch the headphones on (like the wifi widget) which worked even though the headphones weren't registering. Strangely, after a few days the headphones are now recognised again, so I don't need to use the widget.

I guess it depends on your phone. I've never had that problem with my phone, but my sister had that same problem with her G2.
