Also, get your hand away from the top of the phone. You may be triggering the 
proximity sensor. This is what lowers the volume when you bring the phone close 
to your ear. The phone doesn’t know the difference between an ear and a hand.

RE: speaker phone

2022-02-19 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Kate,

The problem you described has been bugging me for months, on my 8 Plus, also.

After reading Pete's subsequent reply on this, I discovered that in order to 
get speaker phone activation to work, I had to first disable the Select Speaker 
setting, in VoiceOver options, then re-enable it.  

So far, so good.

Special thanks to Pete for figuring this out.

Mark

Re: speaker phone

2022-02-18 Thread Caitlyn Furness
Hi,

thanks for this advice.  I didn’t know about the audio settings under vo.  I 
did try both things you suggested and it’s still not going to speaker when I 
take it away from my head.

My next thing is to update the thing and see if that works.

Thanks,
Cait

Re: speaker phone

2022-02-18 Thread Pete De Vasto
Hi Cait,

Go to Voiceover Settings, and under Audio, make sure that Auto Select Speaker 
in Call is set to On. Once that’s on, you should be able to move the phone away 
from your head and hear it through the speaker. If that doesn’t help, you might 
try turning your phone completely off, by that I mean pressing and holding the 
power button for a few seconds and double tapping power off, then turn the 
phone back on after waiting about 10 or 20 seconds.

Hi John,

Yours sounds slightly different than my problem.  I have had to do what you're 
explaining on occasion, but in my situation, pulling the iPhone away and back 
does nothing since the phone is locked.  Once I press the power button, the 
screen comes live and thus the proximity sensor is enabled properly.

Later...
