I too tried this many times & it did not work.
I discovered that you have to flip it over so that the proximity sensor is covered fully, like lay it face down on a table or on your pants leg, then it will activate the speaker similar to silencing an incoming call.
Try that, hope it helps.
It works for me. Go to menu > settings > sound > flip for speaker. Make sure that's checked.
