Hi Ari,
I had the same problem with my 4S and it got worse with iOS 7. Not much
you
can do about it except use a headset whenever possible.
Just for the record, I also find the automatic switching to speakerphone
annoying even though with my new 5S the problem has basically gone away
completely and the automatic switching is very reliable.
However, I still don't understand why Apple thinks a blind user can't just
double tap the speakerphone utton if they want the call on speakerphone
just
as any sighted person has to do.
Regards,
Sieghard

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

Hi David,
Definitely important for Ari to check this. However, if Ari has an
iPhone 4S running iOS 7 then this could well be a proximity sensor issue.
My 4S had some issue with this in iOS 6, but not to bad. Once I
upgraded it was pretty bad, in fact, I sometimes received calls and
they went to speakerphone and nothing I did short of plugging in a
headset would switch the call to the earpiece including holding my
phone to my ear, taking it away and putting it back or covering the
proximity sensor with my hand.
My setting was definitely on "Default" and it got so bad that Apple
ended up replacing my phone in the last week of my Apple Care and when
I had already ordered my 5S, in fact, my new unlocked 5S and the
replacement 4S were delivered at the same time.

Sieghard

Go to settings, general, accessibility, route incoming calls. It is
the second to the last option under accessibility. When you activate
the button, the choices will be default, headset, and speaker. It
sounds like your phone is currently set on speaker. Default means
headset if a headset is plugged in, earpiece speaker if the proximity
sensor detects an object, or speaker if the proximity sensor does not
detect any object.

This is driving me absolutely nuts! It happens most when I receive
calls,
but it's happened sometimes when placing calls. How can I get this to
stop?
Thanks,
