Its not a setting, LGs are notorious for getting water damage and going into "car kit" mode, I would bet almost anything that he has gotten some moisture in it and that is causing his problem.

Ahh yes.. The ever mythical "car kit" error. I've seen this happen from two instances.

1st instance - Impact damage. The phone took some kind of impact and it damaged the charging port. Basically it has shocked the phone into thinking it's been plugged into a car kit 24/7.

2nd instance - Water damage. The phone took in some form of water or liquid damage. This shocked the phone into thinking it's been plugged into a car kit 24/7.

I'd recommend taking it into service. With the car kit feature enabled, the earpiece of the phone will NOT work.
