Help Loudspeaker on answering call

Have a look at Menu > Settings > Sound > Flip for speaker - it should be deselected to turn the speaker off.
If that is the cause, and as the speaker should only come on when flipped, your girlfriend may want to (re-)calibrate the G-sensor, Menu > Settings > G-Sensor calibration - Calibrate.
There's also a speaker icon on the Caller display, whenever you make or receive a call. It's underneath the Caller picture, on the right. (The one on the left is the mute button). Your girlfriend might be touching that in a call.

Nope, that's not the problem - it's already switched off in settings. When you press 'Answer' the call connects, and then the loudspeaker button just presses itself - if you watch the screen you can see it toggle on. It's really weird - anyone else seen this or know a fix?
Some more possible solutions...
Is your girlfriend using an app that modifies the call functions at all? If so, there could be a conflict between that app and the stock functions of the phone.
The speaker phone might be coming on because the phone is in 'car mode' or thinks it is. (In car mode, the phone defaults to the speaker phone when in a call.) Try a 'soft reset' to clear this: Power off the phone > Remove battery for 30 seconds > Replace battery and power on.
There may be a problem with the phone's USB socket. Check it's clean and clear of dust, etc, and that the pin isn't twisted or bent. A dirty or faulty USB can cause the phone to be in 'car mode' when it shouldn't.
All apps > Dock mode > Menu > Settings > Auto-launch - deselect.
Other than that, there's alway the 'factory reset' option, which will wipe all personal data on the phone.
