There is one way of getting it to work. Note this might be difficult for
those with small hands. I just tested it. While in a call and you need to
pull the phone way, slide your thumb over the ear piece as you are pulling
the phone away and it will keep it from changing to speaker phone.
this method will work. Note that you must switch off voiceover before
putting the phone to your ear. Note that it will not work by only doing a
3 finger double tap.
