iPhone 4 gone mad voice control taken over phone, can't get past my screen lock it won't respond at all, keeps dialling random people won't do anything at all!!! Even when go on voice control screen and hold power off and home screen down nothing No response. Help please? My mother very sick in hospital and need my mobile!!
Have you tried to power off and on? If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

How to turn off voice control with iPhone 5s with iOS 8
I Dropped my phone in the tub, I have an otterbox on it but it didn't do the phone any good :/. I dried it off and the home button started acting up. And now it doesnt work when i hit it. But the Touch ID still works. However randomly voice control will pop up and call random people when i don't even touch it. I tried going into restrictions > Siri and turning it off I turned off voice
Otterbox cases are not waterproof and are not advertised to be so. For that, you need a Lifeproof case or similar.
If you turn off Siri, Voice Control is enabled. The only way to turn off Voice Control is to turn Siri back on. Your phone has been damaged by immersion in liquid and may never work properly again. Sorry. -
I am not able to turn off voice over. I have tried to do settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver and then triple clicked it but the VoiceOver won't turn off. What can I do? I have even tried to reset the machine keeping the data, no use.
A few people have reported problems with the hand gestures since IOS 8. It's not normal, I have don't have the problem on my iPad 4. I doubt it's a major problem but if it happens regularly I'd have it checked out by the Genius bar at the Apple Store.

I tried to Purchase on the i Tunes store, but forgot security questions. Not even Customer Service is able to help me. How can I spend the 20 bucks I have on my account now if even the phone assistants can't help me? I can't rememeber any answer to any of mu questions and I can't even register my product (iPod Classic) even though I purchased it 6 months ago. Customer Service held me on the line for 30+ minutes asking me all the time if I rememeber one anwer to my questions (to which I repeatedly said no) and there seems to be no way to circumvent that security system, not even with my second email, also registered on My Itunes. Isn't there any way for me to get those 20 dollars back I already have in your store or at least reset my security questions if I don't rememeber?
Thank you very much.qwerqsr, Please contact 1-800-My-Apple, about this issue. The account security team should be able to assist you. Please have your password and the ability to log into your account via appleid.apple.com.
Thanks,

How do I turn off voice control for ipod features?
HI,
I'm having an issue with my iphone 4, when using with a 3rd party set of earbud headphones that include an inline microphone, wind and ambient noise cause the voice control to go haywaire. I've found the option to turn off voice dialing for the phone, but can't find a way to shut this off in iPod mode. Help? Please? It's driving me crazy...I have the same problem with my ipod touch 4th generation. It only started a few days ago after I finally updated it ios 6.1.6; I never knew Voice Control existed on my ipod before then.
It has not happened when I had headphones plugged in, only when it was sitting by itself on a table and I wasn't touching it.
The first time it happened, it was sitting on my night table at 4am while I was sleeping. The second time it happened, it was sitting on my desk at work while I was quietly typing; I had to apologize to my coworkers while I tried to figure out how to make it stop. Just now it happened again, sitting on my kitchen counter while I was on the other side of the room. It has happened about four more times while I was sitting here at the computer researching the problem. I even checked to make sure the case (Otterbox) wasn't pressing on the Home button, and it's not.
I HATE IT!!!!!! It makes me so angry! If I can't figure out a way to make it stop, I'm going to have to stop using it altogether. Is that what you want, Apple? And no, I won't upgrade and buy a newer model; I'll get an Android version. -
How can i turn off voice control on iphone 5s

The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting your home button:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
The Home button is slow to respond
If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone.
Seek service is the issue is still occurring.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I am trying to unlock an Iphone that I just bought online. I have TMobile. The phone however says that I have to insert a valid sim card (which I don't have yet) in order to unlock the phone. I can't even get into the settings or the home screen of the phone. How can I get past this locked screen? Thanks.
How can I get past this locked screen?
Do what it says and install a SIM card.
Did you buy an unlocked phone? If not, then only the carrier to which it is locked to can unlock the phone. -
iPhone 4ws won't turn on. I have a broken lock button. It just randmoly turned off and won't turn on. I can't go to the apple store because I'm going on vacation. Someone please help
Your phone is broken; there's no magic solution for you. You can try plugging it in to wall power and see if this turns the phone on, but if it doesn't, you can either go on vacation without your iPhone, or make the time to visit the Apple store before you leave.

My iPhone 3gs just randomly turned off and won't turn back on
I was just using my phone, and nothing happened. As of lately picture mail, and videos have been sending as a text message to other iPhone users even while connected to wifi. My phone just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. I just got it in July so its not very old and I have the hard protection case on it. Is there any way that I can reset it or something?
Hold the home and power button down at the same time.

my iphone 3gs said it was out of service then it turned off and when it turned on it said to activated then it said to plug in to itunes i did that n it turns back off. how can i fix it?? or whats wrong
If it continues to show the connect to iTunes graphic, then you do have to restore the phone. If you have not created a backup of your phone, then I hope you use icould because this will erase all of the info on the phone.

I cannot turn off the asscode which I do not want on mhy ipad. I keep getting a message "iPad is disabled". Yesterday, I updated to iOS7 and was asked
to enter a 4 digit passcode and now I type in the 4 digits and the ipad will not accept it. I want to get to the settings page. Can someone help me?
Thanks.hope you didn't have GREEK keyboard selected
If you did APple do not want to know that their upgrade has trashed your ipad
search on ios 7 ipad greek keyboard
to see other sufferers - if you had a greek keyboard then you need to set it to english/french etc
to do that you need to unlock your ipad
to unlock your ipad you need to re-set your keyboard
to do that you need a greek keboard
to get your greek keyboard back you need to unlock your ipad
and so on and son
thank you apple -

hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
