Answered call goes straight to loudspeaker

Hi. Please help.

I got my z1 compact 2 days ago having upgraded from a samsung s3.

The problem is that intermittently my z1 will answer the phone in loud speaker, I am running everything in stock with no launchers or 3rd party phone apps.

Please help, this is really annoying

I have the caller goes straight to speaker issue, I have Chrome version 33.0.1750.136, I'm not able to uninstall any further updates. I have disabled updates for this app, fingers crossed. I just can't see how Chrome is affecting this issue but here goes...

Chrome has the ability to take over microphone and camera,so it is related to that.

Google released an update to Chrome yesterday via Play Store, mine is now at 33.0.1750.166

Let's see if that improves anything...

--> If I click on SVN Revision log of the last update (http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/perf/dashboard/ui/changelog.html?url=/branches/1750/src&range=2... I read this bug should be fixed. But I'm not familiar with all this developer-code language Winking_Face Anyone can confirm?

This seems just bad.Uninstall updates and try again.

Removed all updates going back to version 28.0.1500.94

Calls are not answered by speaker.

Now my browser is open to security risks.

I also noticed that if the magnetic charger input is connected (did not test it with USB yet), all calls go to speaker.

Updated back up to the latest Chrome app and now a surprise, calls do not go to speaker.

I will follow up if I see the bug returns.
