Im having the same problem- I didnt think about it until you said it was after the update. If I call someone , the only way I can hear them is on speaker phone- I was trying to use my wired ear buds (with mic) for making phone calls. I havent been able to get them to work when talking, but I can hear the other caller- something is related, I thought it might be the internet radio app I installed, but I removed it and am still having the same problem. I was about to reset all my settings, but didnt want to lose the apps Ive purchased. Ive tried every setting I can think of, the phone rings, but when I pick it up, I have to hit speakerphone to talk. also, does anyone know how to keep the phone keyboard lit up all the time during a call? Each time I put it up to my ear, it goes black (to save battery life I guess). For my job, Im always having to punch in different access codes, options etc. and its kind of a pain when it goes black, then I have to hit keyboard, then the access code, etc. Ive tried keeping the background lit up all the time, but it still goes off and on when I bring it up and down from my ear-
please, if anyone knows anything about the earplugs/speaker phone or black screen issue, please help. I really like these ear phones because you can hear the caller through both ears, unlike my bluetooth headphones- where you have music in both ears, but the phone caller is only heard through one ear. I know its not the safest way to drive, etc. but without them I cant hear over my loudmouth wife, the screaming kids & their music, the dog barking and an old crappy car with a hole in the muffler, and the typical South MS pickup truck which will damage your hearing with the double glass packs and country music wide open at every corner- I made my bed so I must lye in it, but need help blocking it out sometimes! thanks
