Re: Is this normal for my SE?

[Gordan Radić]

Hi! I'll try to help with some things I know and uess from your explanations. When phone is not in a call you should hear all notification sounds from the bottom side speaker with no exceptions. Some notification sounds could be heard through the earpeace but this only happens during the active call. When in the active call you have two situations. If you hold the phone vertically against your ear you will hear the conversation through earpiece but if you movethe phone away from your ear the speakerphone will automatically activate. You can prevent this by covering the front cammera with one finger, it seems like speakerphone activates when front cammera detects light. I suspect the speakerphone is active when people say they can't hear you well, it happens sometimes. The other thing you should check is Background Noise Cancelation you can find in Settings, General, Accessibility under the Hearing heading and it should be off. And finally, you can easily upgrade to iOS 10 where you can disable automatic speakerphone feature.

I am usually able to answer, make, and even hang up from phone calls...most of the time. The SE is running the IOS that came with it, either 9.2 or .3. I have noticed the conversation seems to come out of a couple of different places seemingly depending on its mood.  It has an Otterbox defender case and when I think it is doing normally, the sound comes out of the area toward the top middle of the screen which has a rectangularish cut out of the case....then sometimes, the sounds seems to be more easily heard by listening toward the middle of the screen...and then nothing will do except the conversation comes out of the little speaker hole on the bottom of the case next to where you plug in the phone to recharge.  Also, sometimes the person I am talking to says they can barely hear me and nothing  will help that unless I hold the phone horizontally in front of my mouth so I can speak directly into the bottom of the phone. Why is the sound changing places?  Is this a fault with the phone itself or am I doing something wrong?  We have Verizon and the reception is very good. I also have a problem with the phone seeming to go automatically to speaker phone.  Sometimes I think it could be because I have moved my hand, but I just don't know.  Is that something I have to get used to?...I don't want everyone to enjoy my personal conversations. Any insight,explanations, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
