Can't hear phone calls, Razr thinks earphones are plugged in!!

All of a sudden today when I got phone calls, I couldn't hear the person on the other end, but they could hear me.  When I went to the sound settings, it showed that there was a wired audio device plugged in even though there wasn't.  I haven't used headphones in about a month. Obviously music won't play out of the phone speaker either. I tried plugging in headphones and I could hear the music, but if I unplug them the music doesn't pause like usual, it keeps playing because it thinks they're still plugged in.

If it is a hardware problem (stuck contact), then it's warranty exchange time.  Try a soft reset first.  Hold  the volume/down and power buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds.

As a last resort try the dreaded Factory Reset.  Note: You lose everything so you better have everything backed up.
