Initiates phone call when I say "hey Siri"

When I am in my car and using Bluetooth, if I say, "Hey, Siri" it initiates a phone call to the last number I dialed.  Siri continues to respond, but the phone call continues also.  If I end the phone call (that I didn't want to begin with) then Siri ends also.  I have upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5.

It is very possible the vehicle's system will not support this enhancement to Siri. Have you been able to use Siri for other tasks in the vehicle without it initiating a phone call in the past? What happens if you turn off Hey Siri and just try holding down the home button to start Siri, what happens?

  • I am not able to answer talkatone phone call when iphone is in lockscreen, I am not able to answer talkatone phone call when iphone is in lockscreen

    I am not able to answer talkatone app phone call when iPhone is in lock-screen mode.  I miss all calls because by the time I unlock my phone the notification disappears and there is no way to accept the call.  What can I do to be able to answer calls via the talkatone phone app from the lock-screen mode? 

    Did you try what I suggested in the post you already made for this problem?

  • I cannot get any phone call when my iphone is sleeping

    Hi,everyone. I cannot get any phone call when my iphone is sleeping ( or locked ). After I active my phone, it will show how many call I missed. Does anyone have the same problem with mine? I tried reset, update software, but still not working.

    to put your iPhone to sleep follow these steps:
    1) press the sleep button once - screen will go dark and you'll hear a click.
    2) press home button once - screen will light up with your wallpaper in the background, time, date, etc.
    3) DO NOTHING for five (or so) seconds and then your iPhone will sleep.
    if you receive a call, iPhone will wake automatically. otherwise to wake the iPhone, press the home button - iphone will wake. slide the unlock bar (enter pass code, if enabled) and use.
    to return to sleep mode, repeat sequence (1 through 3)
    doing this will allow calls to come through while Iphone is asleep and prolong the battery charge exponentially.

  • I just got my phone replaced and I can't make phone calls. It says I have service and I can literally do everything else, including FaceTime, but no phone calls?!?!

    try resetting your network settings, it just resets wifi and carrier settings, no data

  • Why dont i receive texts or phone calls when my phones off or flat?

    I Have an iphone 4 and have had it for nearly 2 years. Ever since i got my phone i have not been able to receive text messages or phone calls when its turned off or flat.
    So if my phone goes flat and i turn it back on, i never receive calls or texts. I have tried turning my phone off then getting someone else to text me, then i have turned it on and the text does not come up?
    i really need help on this due to family or work texting me and i dont realise.
    Thanks.

    I don't understand why you would expect to receive calls when the phone is turned off. By definition, it's OFF; it is not going to work. If you have voicemail enabled on your line callers should be given the option of leaving a message, which you can then listen to when the phone is on. If a caller does not leave a message there is no way to know that they called.

  • When on a phone call when I need to enter numbers on the keypad, the screen goes black and the device doesn't register the numbers.  Sometimes it works, but most times not...very frustrating.  Any recommendations?

    Is there a case or screen protector that is possibly interfering with the proximity sensor (detects if the phone is near your face, allows the keypad/screen to be visible when the phone is away from your face)

  • Can Siri enable the speaker on phone calls when I use the "hey  Siri" feature when the phone is plugged in

  • Phone call from woman saying our Internet will be disconnected tomorrow.

    We had a phone call tonight from a woman who claimed to be from Telstra, saying that our Internet was going to be disconnected tomorrow because our downloads were interfering with Telstra computers. When I claimed "[Bleep]" she said thank you and hung up. Anyone else had this one?

    Yes I know. This is the page that tells me I need to contact you, which is why we're having this conversation now. There is no option to report phone scams. The only options are: Hacking, Port Scanning or attempted intrusionUnsolicited Bulk Email or SpamPhishing ScamsVirus Prohibited content (eg: pornography or sexually explicit content)Defamatory material (eg: publication by another person of a false and derogatory statement about you)Copyright infringement (eg: if you believe somebody else has misappropriated material over which you hold copyright None of these options cover phone calls from people claiming to be from Telstra. It says for other issues please contact us. This option leads me to you and all you have done is send me back to the page that told me I had to contact you. :/

  • How can I stop iPad from starting the music app after ending a phone call when using Bluetooth headphones?

    music app automatically starts after using Bluetooth headphones during a phone call

    If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck.  The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it. 
    iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.

  • Hey Siri Problem

    Hi Everyone,
       I was wondering if anyone else was occasionally having trouble with "Hey Siri" while using the watch.  When I press and old the digital crown, everything works as expected and Siri takes the request.  However, when I raise my wrist  and say "Hey Siri," Siri will sometimes give up listening immediately with the message of "How may I help you"  and a microphone button appears.  Other times Siri will just wait patiently until I say something.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I don't suspect there are any hardware issues as it does work well when Siri does give me the time to state my question.  Now I have tried saying "Hey Siri" and immediately stating my question instead of waiting for Siri to listen, and it works every time.  It only seems to happen when I say "Hey Siri" and wait for Siri to show that it's listening.
    Thanks,
    Gabe

    Hi Brandon,     The button popping up is what I'm referring to.  I would assume that whether or not you use use Siri through the crown, or simply say "hey siri", it's probably not supposed to wait to long for a response.   However, like your watch, Siri can wait patiently after saying "hey Siri".  I've been playing with it more and more, and I can't figure out why I get the microphone button immediately as opposed to other times when Siri will just wait.  At first I though it might be do to the sensors seeing movement in my arm, but I can hold the watch in my hand and still see it (once I unlock it and keep it pressed against my hand).  I then though it must be related to too either too much noise or too little noise for Siri.  However, whether I'm in a quite room or noisey restaurant, I get the same results.  I then thought it might be related to connection.  But I live quite litterally next to a Verizon tower......  I'm still thinking this might be normal operation or possibly a bug that needs fixed.  I just want to put my mind at ease and not continue to think there's something wrong with the watch.  I would really hate to go to the Apple Store just to pick up a refurb after spending this much on a new watch.

  • My iphone 4s no longer makes noise when receiving phone call or sms

    i have an iphone 4s purchased june 2012
    everything worked fine when i bought it
    sometime during a holiday trip over christmas 2012, the noise function broke
    what works fine?
    i can play music and hear it
    i can make a call and hear the other person
    i do receive calls and i can still hear the other person
    i can hear siri
    what is broken?
    when i get a phone call, no ringer sounds even though yes i'm sure i have a ringer selected. 
    if i test the ringer sound in general > settings, i hear the sound. if i change the ringer to another option, i can hear it in settings, but not when i actually get a phone call.
    when i get a text, no alert sound is made even though yes i'm sure i have an alert selected.  if i test the alert in general > settings, i hear the alert sound.  if i change the alert to another option, i can hear it in settings, but not when i actually get a text.
    i have tried a restore and a re-boot
    help please thanks

    Turn on phone
    Press home button twice
    Close any open app pages that appear
    Restart phone
    This apparently  resets the apps and the ring tone goes on when you receive a text.
    Worked for me anyway.

  • I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.

    My phone doesn't have any cellular phone functions...but it CAN send text messages and access data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, the last two have this problem and the first stopped working all together. I've had new sim cards put in, ive done hard resets on the phone, i've rebooted the phone, done battery pulls, and tech support has reset the signal to my phone. Nothing has worked. (I just "upgraded" <- lol.... and my old phone IS turned off.)

    Im in 79707. So to recap my whole case: I upgraded my device using the verizon wireless website. I received my phone and switched my old SIM card from my Droid Razr Maxx HD into the new Galaxy S5. Everything worked fine until the next morning (May 31st) when I woke up and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took the phone to the local Verizon store and they were also unable to turn it on. They issued me a new Galaxy S5 (referred to as phone 2) and switched my SIM card into that one.
    With PHONE 2 i was able to make calls and receive calls, along with text and data for approximately four hours. After that, i was unable to use the phone function of the device, but text and data were still functioning. I took PHONE 2 back to the Verizon store where they attempted to hard reset the phone twice, they also installed two new SIM cards at the store. After this they would get the same error, which is the phone just reading "Dialing..." after attempting to make a call. The Verizon associate declared the phone "DOA" and issued me another Galaxy S5 (referred to as PHONE 3).
    PHONE 3 worked well, with phone text and data featured intact from when I received it on the after noon of the 31st until approximately 2:30PM on June 1st. I contacted Verizon Tech Support via Gmail phone to attempt the correct the problem. They reset the connection, had me do a battery pull, had me close the "phone" application, and erase the data and catche, then restart the phone. All of which had no effect. My phone is still able to receive texts and use data (even with wifi off) it simply cannot make or take phone calls. all it says is "dialing..." when I attempt to make a call. When other phones call my device it rings once on their end and directs them to voicemail, PHONE 3 does not ring on my end.
    I have made sure my old phone is completely powered down.
