Help!! iPhone 4 Voice Control and screen lock

Hi. I have an iPhone 4 and this morning out of the blue, the Voice Control started coming on. It doesn't matter what I am doing. Also, the screen keeps locking up. Any screen I am on. I do not use ear buds and it hasn’t been wet. Please help

I tried the reset and it did not work. What happens is I will go to an app. (Like now I am in the text messaging app). I am stuck here. I can reply, create a message, and maneuver through the texting screens, but I am stuck in text messaging until I turn it off... Then, when I restart and go to any other app, I get the same thing.
Then there is the voice command. The thing that allows you to speak a command, such as call office, or facetime... It pops up randomly.
All of this started this morning. I haven't dropped it, gotten it wet, or anything. I don't understand.

Voice Control and phone lock

Hi everyone,
I was testing my new iPhone 4 while I noticed that, despite the fact that there's a passcode set in order to use it, Voice Control still works.
So even if a person does not have the passcode, the phone is allowed to make calls, play music and do everything Voice Control allows.
Isn't that.. wrong?
Or am I missing some different angle for this function?
Regards,
M

Settings->General->Passcode Lock->Voice Dial
You can turn it off there.

HT201441 i cant find a way to contact my iphone previous owner and its locked i need help

hi i cant find a way to contact my iphone previous owner and its locked i need help

There is nothing anyone can do for you.
You need the previous owners password to unlock the phone. If you can't get that, then your phone is useless.
Nobody, not even Apple, can unlock it for you.

TS4079 4s 's voice control and siri suddenly operate by themself without touching

Hi. My 4s 's voice control and siri suddenly operate by themself without touching the phone all the time. Tried to swiitch off and when reopen still status quo.Possible that my phone got virus? What should I do?

This is definitely not a virus. There is no known malware capable of infecting iOS, unless it has been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store).
First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

Silencing the iPhone Voice Control

My iPhone sounds a confirmation tone whenever I press and hold the home button to activate voice control, even if it's in silent. The only thing I can do is go into voice control, and turn the volume all the way down, but then it stays silent when the phone is in ring mode.
Is this behavior default? If it is, it makes no sense.
What can I do about it? (I talked to an Apple representative and he said I could disable voice control via restrictions, but said ability has elluded my efforts)

You can disable access to voice control when the iPhone is locked, Settings>General>PassCode Lock>Voice Dial Off.
But, that is the only way to disable it. You can leave feedback here:

Unexpected voice control and headphone use

We have two iPhone 3 G's in our household that we have used without incident up until this last month. With one phone, my husband used a new set of ear phones (not Apple) and the voice control would come on unexpectedly, over and over to the point that he couldn't listen to music. The same thing started happening with my phone this last week while listening to music with the Apple ear phones. While trying to cancel the voice control over and over, I noticed that the music files sounded corrupt. Any suggestions?

I can use my Jawbone 2 to activate voice control just fine. As if it were any other phone that has had this technology for years.
As far as using "Activate Voice Control and request(ing) whatever", the 3rd contact on my Favorites list can get me hookers and crack cocaine, so does that qualify?
Summary: Click on button at the top of my Jawbone -> Activates Voice Control -> Say "Dial. Lou. Mobile" -> Wait a few seconds. Say "Lou. Me. The usual." -> press center button on Jawbone to disconnect. -> go back to watching Sports Center.

Voice Control and the main menu keep popping up

my ipod touch 3G has some interesting problems. the voice control and the main menu eep poping up and there are seems like nothing i can do. i already tried rebooting, but it didn't help. any ipod expert can help？really appreaciate.

hi,
Can you do a right click > properties on the Network Controller and on the details tab > dropdown menu, copy the hardware ID and post it here to find out the model/maker of the wireless card.
Guide:
Windows 7: Hardware Identification
Btw, were you using the ethernet cable a while ago when you downloaded the WiFi driver on the Y510p? If yes, can you try to reinsert it in and ensure fully contacts the ethernet (it'll usually make a click sound). When finished, press the Windows Key+R then type ncpa.cpl and ensure that the Ethernet connection doesn't say disabled or Network Cable Unplugged.
- Sample screenshot
As for the other devices that has yellow exclamation marks, these drivers should fix it (you may download these on another PC and install it on the Y510p).

5.0.2 has not been released, thus you can not upgrade.

When will we be able to rate music using voice control and Siri?

It's pretty cool to be able to control the music app using voice control, but we really need to be able to rate songs too. I mean I can do everything else I need to do with my music with the voice control, except rate music, and always rate every song when I listen to it. Then, once they're all rated, I create a smart playlist with my top rated of that artist and just sync them to the iPhone, so you can see how important rating it to me as well as many, many more iPhone users.
But, let's say I'm listening to music while I'm running and the iPhone is in an armband. I pretty much can't rate any music then, which *****. So, how about a little surprise with the iOS 7.0.3 update. Throw in the ability to rate music using the voice control and Siri. It's not just because you need to fix bugs and focus on future projects that you can't go back and add some cool updates to some of the old features. It would probably take on of your developers like 15 mintues to code it into the OS.
Let's have a happy update soon. Remember, iPhone 4 users are still Apple customers, too and I'm sure the Siri users would like that as well.

Only Apple would know their future plans and they haven't said. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

How do I get my phone out of voice control and can not scroll or use it

How do I get my phone out of voice control and can not scroll or use it?

press the home button and hold it for a few seconds. Voice conrol will appear

Voice control and play order

I noticed that playing songs by artist via the voice control feature ("play artist whoever") results in all the albums being played +as albums+. By contrast, if you select an artist from the menus, and play "all songs", it plays them in alphabetical order by song.
Since I prefer to listen to albums in the original order, this is an unexpected benefit to the voice control feature.
I just wish they'd bring back the "shuffle by album" feature; I miss that.
Anyone notice any other useful quirks?

I can use my Jawbone 2 to activate voice control just fine. As if it were any other phone that has had this technology for years.

Xfce4: Problems with Sound and Screen Locking on ASUS G53S

Hello everyone,
I recently installed Arch for the first time, and decided to use xfce4 for my desktop environment. Everything seems to work well after I followed the instructions given in the wiki, except for the sound and screen-locking functionality. Regarding the sound, I made sure that my user account is added to the audio group, and installed the gstreamer1.0-base-plugins and gstreamer1.0-good-plugins packages. The xfce4-mixer applet starts up without any warnings and recognizes the available devices, but I am still not able to hear any sound. The "Lock Screen" applet simply does nothing upon being clicked. Do you have any ideas as to what I should try in order to fix these problems?
Thank you very much!

To be able to lock the screen you have to install and configure a screen locker or screen saver, e.g. xscreensaver, slock, i3lock, maybe combined with xautolock. When you use a screen locker and not xscreensaver, XFCE might not recognize it. Then create a symlink in /usr/local/bin/xflock4 or use a shellscript if you need to pass parameters.
My configuration: xautolock with i3lock. /usr/local/bin/xflock4 is this executable shellscript:
#!/bin/sh
xautolock -locknow
xautolock is started in the XFCE autostart with this commandline: xautolock -locker 'i3lock -d -i ~/Bilder/arch/arch-linux-lock.png'
PS: If you like i3lock and need user switching capabilities, I can give you a patch where Ctrl-S calls a custom command (gdmflexiserver by default)
