I'm surprised so many manufacturers of cases for the iPhone 4S would have gotten this wrong. My only experience with an iPhone 4S case didn't have this problem. It's a good suggestion to try to rule it out though.

I don't recommend powering your phone on and off each day. I know some people recommend this because they think this clears out the phone's memory and keeps it running smoothly, but I find this unnecessary. Any reputable operating system developer, like Apple, will manage it's memory and resources so this isn't necessary. It doesn't do any harm though, so if you want to do this, there's no reason not to, other than it's just an unnecessary way to spend your time, and I would doubt it would help fix this problem. Of course, if your phone is acting squrly then by all means power it off and power it back on again, after clearing out the App Switcher, but I go weeks without having to do this on my 4S.

I assume we're talking about the phone going to speaker phone when you're on a call. Make sure you keep the phone near your face so the proximity sensor knows you're holding the phone to your ear and not pulling it away. It's possible your proximity sensor has developed an issue, so a trip to your Apple store might be in order.

Hello Teri,

Is your 4 S in a phone case?  If so, I strongly suggest that you remove it from 
the case and see what happens.

Many of the cases made for the 4 / 4 S were not designed correctly and, 
consequently, caused the problems that you described.

Also, make sure that you restart the phone at least once a day.

Good Luck,

Mark

Subject: My speaker phone and speaker quality

Hello everyone,

I have some questions about my phones speaker. I am hoping someone can help me.

First of all why does my phone go to the speaker so much? Is there anything I 
can do to prevent this from happening? It really drives me crazy!

By the way I have a 4s.

Also when my phone does go to speaker, I am told that the sound is muffled. I 
am told that I sound like I am in a hole.
Is there a way to fix this?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Terri
