Why does my Android phone automatically switch to speaker during calls?

Haha! At this point, I might join you! It’s funny how frustrating tech can be sometimes, right?

I’ve had a similar issue. It could be a faulty proximity sensor that thinks you’re far away, which might trigger the speaker mode during calls. You might want to check if the sensor is obstructed.

That makes sense! I’ve noticed my microphone acting up too. It seems related. Anyone else experienced trouble with their mic?

It’s definitely worth checking for hardware issues. Have you tried a factory reset? Sometimes software bugs can mimic hardware problems.

Wow, I didn’t think of that! My phone also randomly switches to speaker mode. Could be a sensor problem like others mentioned. Any tips on getting it repaired?

You can try taking it to an authorized service center. They can diagnose if it’s hardware-related without any guesswork.

I had a similar experience with my old device! It turned out that the microphone jack was damaged. Sometimes it leads to unintended speaker mode during calls.

Interesting! I wonder if it’s a common manufacturing issue. Newer models seem to have more problems like this.

I love how troubleshooting often feels like a detective game! Just last week I thought my phone was haunted when it wouldn’t stop using the speaker. Turns out it was just dirty sensors!

Haha, that’s so relatable! Definitely check if there’s dust around your microphone and sensors; that can make a big difference.

Reflecting on this, I think many of us overlook physical damage. Regular maintenance could potentially prevent these annoying issues from cropping up. Have any of you tried cleaning tools?
