For the last two days while on phone calls on my Note 9, the speakerphone automatically turns on. I am not turning it on, it just goes on. I have to tap the speakerphone button to turn it on and then off to get it to turn off. I have not downloaded any new apps, but the apps I do have update automatically. My husband who also has a Note 9 is having the same problem. In the middle of a call the speakerphone automatically turns on.
Is there anyway to stop this? It is very annoying especially if I am on a work call.
@poodge66 As a troubleshooting step, boot into safe mode. If this does not occur while booted in safe mode, you know that some 3rd party software is causing this.
I messaged Samsung on Twitter and the told me to try a soft reboot. I am hesitant to do that. I think its either an update on an app or something Samsung pushed down in an update. If its an app they suggest going through each app. Thats insane.
I am also having this exact same issue. Has anyone figured out which app could be the root cause of the problem? Uninstalling every single app that was updated over the last few days will pretty much wipe everything off my phone....
I have not figured it out yet. I did the soft reset, but its still doing it. My husband's phone is also doing it and the only apps that we have similar are from Samsung, At&t and Google.
@poodge66 The soft reset is only going to solve an extremely limited amount of things. I posted how to do it only because you mentioned that someone had recommended it.
Did you boot in safe mode as a troubleshooting step?
If the issue does not occur while booted in safe mode, you know that some 3rd party software is causing this.
