H I just checked, and the route incoming calls option is set to default. I've 
always had issues with my 4S and the proximity sensor. It's way too sensitive 
when it doesn't need to be, and not sensitive enough when it needs to be. 
Basically, I've always had issues with it going on speakerphone and remaining 
on that setting, even when I cover the proximity sensor with my hand. It's 
really really frustrating. Anyway, i've never really had an issue with calls 
not being  routed to the headset until now. The  heads that will be working 
fine, and then, when a call comes in, all of a sudden, it gets routed to the 
speakerphone. Or sometimes to the phone's speaker, which makes things even more 
difficult, because usually the phone won't go on speaker phone no matter how 
far away I hold it from my head. I really don't like the proximity sensor, to 
be honest.

Thanks for the help, though. I don't have AppleCare, so I can't replace the 
phone.


Thanks,
Ari
