IPhone-4 Voice Control not working properly

I'm facing trouble with the iphone-4 voice control. Its not correctly recognizing my voice commands. When I ask it to call a specific phone number it never dials the correct number, I have notice that it happens for some specific numbers when asked to dial. Also , songs are also sometime not correctly recognized and a wrong songs/album starts playing. But, when I tried same phone numbers or songs playing command on a Google Powered android phone..it recognizes all voice commands correctly and works perfectly fine. I think apple needs to fix this issue..right now the voice control ***** big time

I'm getting this too. It's very slow and apparently thinks "Call Sue Newport" sounds like "Call Halfords" or "Call Halyards" and, most surprisingly "Call First Great Western".
I was wearing my Jawbone Bluetooth headset so it's nothing to do with background noise.
I tried the new "What time is it?" command which works but takes about 10-15 seconds to activate.

  • Iphone 4 Voice Control not working Properly after iCloud Contacts sync

    Hi All,
    I am facing a strange problem. Recently I enabled iCloud settings to sync contacts from my iPhone to iCloud.
    It asked me that do I want to merge the contacts from iCloud onto this iPhone. Obviously I clicked yes.
    What it did was actually not sync all but around 1/3 of my contact list and erasing the remaining. The other 2/3 of my contact list wasn't on both iCloud or iPhone.
    So I decided to restore my iPhone from the backup i took just before enabling iCloud. But I forgot to switch off the iCloud settings for not syncing Contacts.
    Although I recovered all my contacts from the backup, my voice control has stopped recognizing my remaining 2/3 of the contact list that did not actually sync.
    It can recognize all the contacts that were synced with iCloud, but not the ones that got erased.
    After backup restore, iCloud settings was switched to off state and I did not dare enabling it back on.
    Has anyone observed this behaviour? I just cannot seem to get the voice control recognize the remaining 2/3 contacts at all. I tried renaming the contact that it recognized to some other name and it still does not recognize the new ones.
    Please help me find out the reason for this  and how can i fix it?

  • IPhone 2G voice mic not working

    Has anyone come across iPhone 2G voice mic not working (not being heard by the other person) but works fine on speaker phone and bluetooth headset. It has been working fine so far and suddenly developed this problem! Any help is highly appreciated….

    I had that problem with my iPhone 3G after about 5 days.
    I just had Apple take a look at it.
    They cleaned it out, called it and stuff.
    Didn't work.
    Since I didn't drop it in water and it was not my fault in any way, they gave me a brand new one.

  • My iphone 5 clock is not working properly.  I've tried to reset it, and update the clock automatically and manually, and the time is still off.  My alarms aren't working because of this, and I need my phone to work properly.

    Automatic time is a function of your Wireless carrier.  Your post indicates that your iPhone (5 or 5c) is running iOS 7.0.6.  The current version is 7.1.1.  You might try updating your device to the current iOS version.

    In My IPhone the sound device not working properly. I can here the sound through head set only.kindly send an idea ti solve this problems

    Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

  • Iphone 4 mic is not working properly

    Hello,
    Well my i droped my phone 4 and the back has been broken, well i replaced it with a new one, the result is that
    My iphone camera was broken and i tried to replace it with a new one but the problem persist, and the mic is not working properly
    That when i receive a phone call or when i call someone my iphone mic work sometimes and stop others and i discovered that by tapping on
    The back of the iphone it work, and meanwhile i can use the mic for recording voice memos or for using viber or any software using the mic
    And it works very good, only in phone calls it stop working and by tapping on the back it work again,
    Anyone can help me???
    Thanks guys

    Thanks for the reply but yes it does record voice memo because there are 2 mics 1 on top and 1 on bottom.
    the one that is using for making phone calls is the bottom one.Therefore top 1 is good but bottom is not.

  • Iphone 6 voice recognition not working

    I have an iphone 6 and have had it since October 2014.  For about a month now, the voice recognition option does not work.  I like to use it rather than texting, and emails when I'm on the go and it's frustrating that I can't figure out what's wrong.  I have looked through other threads to try and figure out what else I might do.  So far I've:
    rebooted (hard reset)
    double checked that all my settings are correct re Siri and voice recognition
    checked that it is not a problem with earphones v. no earphones.  Doesn't appear to make any difference
    Siri doesn't work either
    Checked the microphone to make sure it's not blocked or something
    I can use the phone feature just fine. 
    It just seems to be the voice recognition feature that doesn't want to cooperate.  If you have any ideas please let me know!
    I'm taking it to the Apple Store next week since I have run out of my own ideas... Thanks!

    Hi bishibarnabee,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you continue to have issues with Voice Control and/or Siri, you may find the troubleshooting outlined in the following articles helpful, in addition to taking it in to the Apple Store if necessary:

  • IOS Voice Control not working after iOS 6 update

    Updated to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and voice control doesn't seem to be working anymore. When I press and hold the power button I get nada. I'm dependent on Voice Control because my iPhone LCD isn't working right and I can't see what's on the screen. Anyone else having issues with Voice Conttol

    I am having the exact same issue with my HTC one, which started immediately after updating to sense 6. Very annoying since I do not have unlimited mobile data plan, so I have to manually turn mobile data on each time I want to send or receive mms texts, including texts with multiple recipients. Did not have this issue before the update. Love this phone, my very first smartphone. But it is hard to believe that I was able to send pics over text with my old flip phone with no data plan. And now I can't with the HTC. I just can't have the mobile data on at all Times. It has become very inconvenient ever since the upgrade. Wish I had never done sense 6.

  • Play/Pause controls not working properly after IOS 8

    I like streaming content off of a website I visit in safari.  Before the update, I was able to play/pause the content from the lockscreen, I was also able to do it using my apple earpods.  Now this feature doesn't want to work properly.  It will work when I start listening, but if I let it play or stay paused for more than a minute, the controls stop working.  If I press pause in the lock screen, nothing will happen.  However, when I Slide-To-Open, the audio will start playing  (or pausing) like I intended.

    Follow-up to my earlier post that iPhone 6 Bluetooth not working correctly.  I purchased a Jawbone MiniJambox to use as a speaker phone in my office.  Everyone in our company thinks they are the best.  However, it is experiencing the same issues as with all my other Bluetooth headsets.  Everything works except cannot answer or hang up calls pushing the buttons on the Bluetooth devices.  The Bluetooth patio speakers in our courtyard also have the same issue.  However, my colleagues using iPhone 5 and 5s who did not update to iOS8 are using all Bluetooth devices without any issues.  Apple says it is a problem with my Bluetooth device.  Come on Apple.... This makes 7 different Bluetooth devices with different manufacturers.  You cannot possibly believe the problem is with the Bluetooth devices when iOS7 works perfectly fine...
    On another issue, my iPhone 5s worked perfectly fine in my vehicle entertainment center connected via USB.  The vehicle entertainment center had complete control of my iPhone and iTunes.  However, now I plug in my new iPhone 6 and it no longer communicates with my vehicle entertainment center.  Again when I called Apple, they said my vehicle entertainment center needed a firmware update.  Are you kidding me...  That is a bunch of BS...!!!

  • IPhone 4 Voice Memos not working/saving

    Hi there,
    I'm having trouble with my voice memos too. Up until yesterday they were working fine and now, even though the record button works, the stop button does not and I can only pause them. Worse again is that the button to go into the menu to view all voice memos is not working so I can't play them from my iPhone and nothing new is saving to my iTunes. Please help!

    I've always had the "Include Voice Memos" option selected. I think that only pertains to syncing voice memos from iTunes to the iPhone after it has been copied to iTunes. It has to be the new OS/iTunes not communicating that new memos have been recorded. For some reason they won't sync when I want them to, and then a few syncs later they magically appear.
    By the way, I'm VERY comfortable with the iTunes and iPhone systems. I've been using iTunes for 5 years, and I've been recording class lectures with the iPhone voice memo app (and another app) for a couple years. It's not an error of not seeing that the memos were added; they don't exist in my library or music folders.
    JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, POST WHICH FIRMWARE YOU ARE RUNNING EXACTLY!!!
    I'm on an iPhone 4, running firmware 4.0.1
