Hi Laura,
When Voiceover is on there is currently no way to prevent it from switching to Speakerphone if you move your phone away from your ear. Normally the proximity sensor which triggers this behaviour works well, but I find that in my replacement iPhone 4S which I received a couple of months ago due to a camera problem with my old phone the proximity sensor also seems to be either more sensitive or it simply acts up every now and then. With my old phone I could easily hold the phone at least an inch or maybe 2 away from my ear and nothing happened. If your iPhone 5 is new and continuously switches between earpiece and speakerphone without you moving the phone much I would just take it back to Apple and get a replacement. I also encourage everybody to write to accessibil...@apple.com and request that the automatic switching to speakerphone can be toggled on or off. Since this is not default behavior for people who don't use Voiceover I assume this would not be too hard to implement and between now and the official release of iOS 7 in 3 or so months I am sure the accessibility department could do this.

When I am on a call my phone will change to speaker phone if I move my hand at all. Any ideas how to stop this from happening? Is there a way to turn speaker phone off so that it will not go to speaker phone? Thank you for any help, Laura -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
