I like using hands-free with phone calls. However, fairly recently, when listening with the speaker, it reverts to normal earphone listening. This tends to happen during the first few minutes (I haven't got down to recording this time), and then it seems to settle down and stay on speaker.

If I watch the settings, the speaker logo seems to rotate through bluetooth, earphone (black) and speaker (blue) - not necessarily in that order. With the bluetooth logo showing, it includes a drop-down menu, but still seems to be playing through the speaker.

It's very annoying when having a conversation because you have to have the phone on, ready to switch it back to speaker; also parts of the conversation frequently gets lost.
