Call goes to speaker automatically

After updating my SP to JB 4.3, every call I get is routed to the speaker when I answer the call? I have tried searching for everything in the settings, but can't find out what the problem is. It is annoying at work when I have to answer a call, suddenly the speaker comes alive when I swipe the green answer bar. 

Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, try it to believe it. I am no expert but I did notice that Chrome (before the update) had an option that read something like "let websites have access to audio/camera". After the update this option is missing. Maybe the speaker thing has got something to do with it. I guess a Sony ninja can give a better answer.

But after trying A to Z all the advice posted here, I disabled Chrome (because the problem I remember started after the update, both 4.3 + Chrome).

Do this:

1) Disable Chrome

2) Restart phone

3) Try calling your phone from another number.

4) Answer.

5) Now it won't go to the speaker directly as it used to

Earlier when the problem persisted, I noticed that the first call after a period of time when the phone was switched off and switched on, always went to the speaker. This has not happened since I disabled Chrome.

I have tried ringing my phone 20 times with a gap of three minutes each. All of them came up right -- no more routing to the speaker. hurray!

But, what the ... Chrome exactly did to my phone?

Same here.

Luckily it's the only bug I've found after 4.3 update.

When I answer the loudspeaker is always on...little annoying.

Glove mode is already off

don't know what to do
