I have a different Panasonic, but perhaps pressing the talk button will turn off speakerphone.

Yes, there is a little button with a speaker icon on it just above the Line 1 button that turns the speakerphone on or off.

My sound is pretty loud. To pump up the volume u have to hold the button down. Mine is so loud that my so in his room is begging me to turn it down. I don't understand what happened with yours. I have no problems at all with mine. And guess what!! My phone volume is turned to half way and my speaker is still loud. I never turn my up all the way up. The speaker just takes off with its loudness. Love it�

You have to change the volume from the phone. You can only stop and start from that button.

Yes it does. When you're calling someone or someone is calling you, just press the middle button (the rectangular or squarish shape one that you use as "arrows" to move and click on the options in the menu section). Just click it again to turn off speaker.

I have never faced this problem myself. I'm using this phone for almost two years, and the only reason I can think off is that you may be accidentally using the hold call key.

Hi I'm customer too. I bought this phone last november and it happened to me 2-3times as I got phone. once it happened for the first time, it didnt turn it on back so I had to return and get new one. Now I'm using it ok but even though it turns itself off, after while it turn itself on. but its really annoying

Yes, this happens to me atleast once or twice a week. I also have to press the talk button several times before the phone answers an incoming call, sometimes it hangs up on me when I do this. We are not happy at all with this phone. I have another phone hooked up next to this phone that I use sometimes even though I can't hear good with it, that's how bad it is.

I have had this unit for months now. Never had that issue, press spk button and it works. I would suggest pulling battery to reset phone to factory defaults. If that doesn't work, it must be a defective unit.

Yes, I have had this problem. Whenever I get it, I just ask the sender to shorten the message. It isn't often a problem though. I have had two of these phones. The only problem I've had was only with the SECOND phone. The keys made an annoying clicking sound, making a discreet text impossible. I didn't have this problem with the first phone though, which I found odd. Both phones were purchased new. I would make sure the keys are guaranteed not to click before I purchased another one.

On speaker phone ppl say they can hear themselves talking. But I don't use speaker phone much. And that's the only problem I have ever had! And yea the buttons work great, the case is really tight fit so it's like the phone doesn't even have a screen protector on it! The home button works fine for me.

Phone was locked. I did not use. But every cell phone I have used had a loud speaker function.

I had this problem. The person on the other end of my call always complained of hearing a delay/echo when speaking. I turned off noise suppression (settings&gt;networks tab&gt;call&gt;noise suppression) and poof, no more complaints. I had had this phone for only a couple days at that point so I'm not sure if it was really something to do with the case, or just something quirky with the phone.

I do not have a problem with the power button. It is a little firm, but I only use one hand to turn my phone off.
