HT4993 Siri and Voice Control autostarting

All of a sudden while watching Hulu on my phone Siri started up on her own every 5-10 seconds. I turned off Siri, now the voice control keeps popping up. This doesn't matter if I am watching something or not. Is there something wrong with my phone? What can I do to fix this?

Settings > General > Siri = "Off"

  • Why are my headphones activating siri and voice control?

    This just started happening the other day after I updated it.  When I plug my headphones in, it activates siri, and if siri is off it turns on voice control.  Is there anyway to fix this?  I like being able to switch the songs on my headset and not have to pull my phone out everytime. And the voice contol thing is pretty annoying, how do i turn it off?

    Hello xlKamikazeelx,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Are you using the included Ear Pods with remote that came with your iPhone?  Please follow the steps below to see if the center button could be stuck, causing this to occur.
    The stereo headset buttons are not functioning properly
    Verify the headset being used is compatible with the iPhone.
    Verify there is no debris in the headset jack.
    Insert the stereo headset and play audio using the Music app. Verify both left and right channels are functioning.
    Press the center button to see if it can pause and resume audio.
    Make a phone call and see if the microphone is working.
    If the issue persists, try another headset.
    If the issue persists with another headset, have the iPhone serviced.

  • Siri and Voice Control Tone/Sound/Beep/Ding

    I have my iPhone on SILENT for a reason.  It's because I want the phone SILENT.  Why do you have a Silent feature if it doesn't make the device silent?
    Please God, anyone, tell me how to turn this IDIOTIC feature off?!?!?!?!?!?!

    From the iPhone User Manual:
    Voice Control for the Music app is always on, but you can prevent voice dialing when iPhone is locked. Prevent voice dialing when iPhone is locked: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock, then turn off Voice Dial (available only when Siri is turned off in Settings > General > Siri). To use voice dialing, you must first unlock iPhone.

  • Why is the mic not working working on speaker mode, even though siri and voice memos are working?

    I bought my iphone 4s from canada about less than a month ago. It worked perfectly fine, until i recently discovered that the mic on speaker mode stopped working. That means, when i speak to someone on speaker  during a call, they are unable to hear me.However Siri and voice memos are working fine.  I could initially face-time but now i cant. I have also tried restoring my iphone a few times.
    As i am based out of india, I contacted apple in India, they refused to touch the phone as it was purchased in Canada and the warranty is apparently applicable only in the country of purchase. I can in no way go back to canada to get the phone replaced. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can resolve this? Shouldnt apple be able to get this sorted since its a brand new phone under warranty?

    Hello jaymc04_463,

  • When using podcast i switch to radio-canada live and it start to stop and restart it and voice control start and stop by it self

    When i listen music on my iphone 4 using podcast (training session  workout) i switched to radio-canada live and after a while it start to stop and start radio-canada live and voice control stop and start by itself???

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • Power button and voice control buttons won't work on my macbook pro retina

    I found that my power and voice control buttons won't work on my new Macbook pro retina. I can't shut it down or restart it in any way. And Im afraid if I force to shut it down I can't turn on it cuz the power button won't work. What should I do? Any idea???

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data.
    Quit Facetime and  Messages if either is running.
    Step 1
    Hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Move the following item from the Library folder to the Trash (either may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
    Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in. Try the applications again. If they work now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
    Step 2
    If you still have problems, quit again. In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
    com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
    com.apple.imservice
    Move them all to the Trash. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash too.
    Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
    Log out and log back in. Test again.

  • Lost compass and voice control apps

    I upgraded from a 3g to a 3GS and when I plugged into iTunes I told it to restore the new phones settings from backup of the 3G. All was good until I realized that this wiped out the native 3GS apps- compass, maps, and voice control. Any ideas how to get them back without restoring to factory settings?

    Those apps probably cannot be "wiped out" since they are built into the phone.
    Try a reset of the phone: Hold the button on top and the Home button together.
    Also look and see if your icons have moved to a different screen.

  • Why when I press for siri does voice control come up instead of siri?

    When we press and hold for siri voice control comes up, not the siri "how can I help you?" message. We can still enter an instruction, but voice recognition is horrible. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you enabled Siri in Settngs>General>Siri>ON. Also check your restrictions in Settings>General>Restrictions>Siri>ON.

  • Applescript and voice control without SpeecchRecognitionServer

    Hi, I want to make a voice controled applescript, but without SpeechRecognitionServer. What should I do?

    I have been running Siri on my apple iPhone with Verizon I got in April 2011.
    It has been GREAT!
    Just about a few days ago, this program "Siri" has added the following text that shows up as soon as you start the program...
    "I've been replaced! The new Siri is even smarter and better-looking than me, and waiting for you on iPhone 4s. I'll be leaving for home on Oct 15th."
    "Until then... how can I help you?"
    My question is...
    How can Apple take away my current program on my current iPhone BEFORE the iPhone 4s.
    I am NOT going to buy the new iPhone, since I have had my current iPhone for less than a year!
    I will REALLY get MAD at Apple if my current iPhone will lose the original Siri!

  • What's wrong with Siri and Voice dictation?

    Neither Siri or voice dictation is working today.
    Any idea what the problem is?

    I was having problems with dictation for days - the 3 dots would just vibrate a second, and then disappear.  It wasn't an internet connection issue at all.
    Finally found a (bizarre) solution on another site - use Siri to dicate a text (e.g., activate Siri; tell it to send a text to ________; then she'll ask you for the content and you say what you want), then tell her to send it.
    Voila, now if you go to use dictation, it works again.  (At least, that bizarre method worked for me -- I tried dictating an email and it didn't work; used Siri to send a text; then went back and tried dictation again and it was working perfectly.)

  • Siri and Voice to Text function not working

    I have done every suggestion that has been listed on every website and from the Siri troubleshooting document.  Nothing has worked so far.  When I look at what has access to my microphone it doesn't list Siri and I cannot find where I can give it access.  Siri and the Voice to Text function worked fine before the iOS7 update.  I've made sure that Siri function is turned on, I've made sure there weren't any restrictions, I've turned the phone completely off, then I did the reset (on/off button and home button), I even went as far as doing a restore to the factory setting and then did the backup and it still does not work.  SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!  As much as we pay for these phones we shouldn't be having this many problems after doing the updates that Apple makes to FIX functionality.  Updates are supposed to enhance our phones, not mess them up.
    Thanks!

    I fixed mine! Go in and reset settings in general settings at bottom. It's the top reset. After complete go turn on Siri, location, and find my iPhone. Let me know if it works for you

  • Random music pausing and voice control starting

    when i am listening music in my itunes (ipod 4) it is paused and continue randomly.suddenly voice over system is starting.i updated software.how can i solve the problem ?

    I think the other responder may be on to something. The Voice Control Prompt will come up if you press & hold the play/pause button on the Apple headset (or any compatible headset). If you are sweating a significant amount, it is possible that is getting into the control n the headset (or on the iPod itself) causing it to short out that button connection. If you have access to just a standard headphones (without that third connector on the plug) you could try those, or possibly even a stereo bluetooth headset removing the wires from the picture all together.

  • TS2634 Ear phones and mic and voice control always coming on

    I am having trouble when listening to music and using the earphones  ... Voice control keeps coming on

    I have a similar problem but I don't know if it's localized just to using voice control because I have not used the headphones much. But similarly I was exploring my new iphone 3gs one day and tried voice control to play a song and no audio came out. I unplugged the headphones and still did not get any audio. I turned it off and back on again and it finally started working. This has since happened to me. So twice this has happened in a brief period. Not sure if this is a software or a hardware issue.

  • My iPhone 5s Siri and voice txt not working

    several weeks ago I notice that Siri wasnt working nor was my voice to txt. I attributed this to not updating my iOS because my cloud storage was full. The holidays were crazy, waited until I had time to transfer my pictures to my computer, so I could update it. It's now updated to iOS 8.2.1 and Siri is still not working. When I push the home button it won't wven make the ding sound it usually does. It will pop up the question "what may I help you with" but when I touch the microphone button nothing happens. When I talk on the phone others can hear me fine. I just got this phone right before thanksgivin!! What has happened to my microphone? I've tried turning the obvious on and off and still nothing works! Help!!
