IPhone 5 Voice Control issues

My Voice Control comes on uncontrollably, rings people without me asking it to and then the phone has what can only be described as a moment! Is my phone faulty or can I sort this manually?

I was just able to set up my phone "as a new iPhone," but the home button was *still* unusable? What?

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:

Iphone voice control was working with motorola Rokr bluetooth headphones

Now when i try to go to voice control thru headphones, phone dials last number?? I have shut down bluetooth, repaired, forgot device, repaired, shut phone down, repaird same deal, any ideas???

It resolved with new phone may have had hardware issue. Works great single click on Home button (headset) goes to VC, hold in goes to last number dialed. The other controls on the head set, ( next track, pause/play, back ) don't work (not supported) that would be pretty sweet but i doubt Apple will ever address.

Iphone voice memo issue?

So when I record anything with my iphone I give the voice memo a name by taping the blue arrow at the end of the recording, however when I sync them to my itunes the name does not sync and only the date and time...! does anyone know how can I fix this or if this is even possible?

Hi, Stanley Chong.
I would start by closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device. The article below will walk you through the process of forcing applications to close. Test recording Voice Memos after processing these steps.

IPhone 3Gs Voice Control does not work

Purchased IPhone 3Gs 32g beside having no service were I live (AT&T is building a cell tower about a mile from my house) my Voice control only works about 1% of the time. For the Ipod I usually get some kind of error message “like listing not found” when it does find an album or artist it always the same one. I am sick of hearing Santana. For call when I do get a signal I also usually get an error message or if it works it pick on of my doctors and that’s it.
Went to the Genesis bar and they said it was a software problem, they gave me a new IPhone with my old sims card, but the did not test the new IPhone Voice control in the store because there were on contacts or albums in the memory.
Got home synced the new one and guess what same exact problem. I have read and tried everything on the internet and nothing has worked any ideas or suggestions ? Please help I tired of listing to Santana and calling Dr. Aronald.

There's a few things you can try that might help out.
No. 1 Make sure your genius results are updated. If you're saying "Play music like Snoop Dogg" it's going to try to make a genius playlist, and that might be why you have no results found.
No. 2 Speak slower. This might sound kinda dumb, I'm not trying to be a smartass. I found that my voice command worked 200% better when I spoke just a little bit slower. Not sure why exactly, but the difference was night and day.
No. 3 When calling someone (on purpose of course) it helps to sometimes add "mobile" at the end if the number is listed as mobile in your contact book. Usually you only need to do this if the contact has more then one number, but it helps even if they don't just to eliminate any ambiguity from the voice command.
Hope that helps!

HT3597 how do you deactivate voice control so when the phone is in your pocket, you can play music without it stopping all the time??

how do you play songs uninterupted when the phone is in your pocket?

Tap Settings, tap General, tap Passcode Lock, tap Turn Passcode On. When that is enabled, below there is an option to toggle Voice Dial on or off (note: Music Voice Control is always enabled). Unfortunately, if you do not want Passcode Lock on, you cannot disable this feature.

Voice control under 10.2.1.2102

I just received the newest update and while the previous voice control issues (full voice control responses inaudible) are now gone, I'm seeing a couple new issues.
When using Full Voice Control, if I issue a command (ie. "Send bbm to bob smith"), there is often a very long delay from when i stop talking to when the confirmation sound is heard, sometimes up to 10 seconds. This is not the delay to get the command back, rather the delay before the command is actually sent to the voice control server once it detects i have stopped talking. Observed with 2 bluetooth headsets, so it is not headset related.
A second issue has to do with voice acurracy. It definitely is not as accurate as it used to be. Often, I need to repeat simple terms like "yes" or "message" over and over again. This occurs over bluetooth and over the speaker, with US English and UK English. I don't really have an accent.
Has anyone else noticed similar issues? Voice control is essential for me while driving, and it remains one of the weakest features in an otherwise stellar device.

Forgive the dumb question here...because at first I didn't think mine was fixed either.
I honestly don't remember...when you first hit the Voice Control microphone app icon...I don't get a voice as it's waiting for an input from me. Once I say something like "Send text" it then responds via voice feedback correctly. I don't remember if this is how it worked before.
The reason I mention this is that when I first tried it after reboot...I also thought it wasn't fixed.

Voice Control in Czech language

Hi. Do you know any, if will be in any next iOs for iPhone Voice Control support for CZECH language also ?

Nobody here can tell you anything about what future iOS versions will include, and Apple almost never gives out such info in advance.
If you want it, tell Apple via the channel they have set up for that:

My Iphone 4 32GB started having this issue when I downloaded the 2 last 6.1.X... VOICE CONTROL pops-up even when I sleep and calls random people just by the sound of the snoring... in FACETIME even more annoying. I confirm that it does this day and night

Turn off Voice Control.
Otherwise, basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

Iphone 4; Software Issues RE: Home Button, Voice Control & Calls

Two days ago my iPhone 4, with the latest operating system, has been having a series of problems;
- The home button has stopped working
- Voice control activates independently
- Voice and Facetime calls have been connected by itsself, even though it is just sitting in lock mode on my desk, not connected to my computer or even WiFi.
I have restored the phone to its factory settings, this did not fix the issues.
Does anyone know of to fix this or if this is a software issue that can be handled by the apple store.
I have had the phone for under a year.
Thanks.

How do I prevent Iphone 6 voice control from activating

I had the problem on my 4 but I thought it was just old. Now, my Iphone 6 is 2 days old and it is doing the same thing!!!!!!
The voice control activates on it's own for no reason and then impacts music play. The songs are sped up and then skip around as voice control keeps cutting in. I do not have shake to shuffle on and I do not have Siri active. This seems to be a recurring problem since the 3. Can Apple please address it, I am about to return my Iphone 6!!

holy cow, I thought I was cursed until I read your question. My iphone 4 was driving me crazy for its last month activating Voice Contol on its own. I too thought it had just gotten old. I've had my 6 plus for two days and the same thing is now happening!!   That inane blue screen and doorbell noise popping up.   I feel like throwing the phone at the wall.
Seeing you have the same problem is a bit insightful because it suggests that it's not the phone but something else. How else could both of us have identical problems at the same time with four phones?
i am wondering if somehow we have a bugged backup that is causing the problem to propagate itself?   Sometimes my ipad 2 also has music playing issues but no voice control problems. I.e., I can be listening to Pandora and suddenly the music pauses itself.
Another problem I had on my iphone 4 at the end was that it would suddenly pause music as well. Other times it would speed playback up as if I were holding the scrubbing key down. Did you have anything similar?
I wonder if backing the phone up with a version say two months or so ago is worth a shot?

IPhone 4, Home button not working, stuck in recovery mode and boots straight into voice control.

After trying everything and failing I still cant work out why this is happening.
I cant restore my phone in itunes, just get an error. My phone boots into voice control for no reason and to top it off the home button stopped working along with all these errors. It cant be a hardware issue. I sent it in and got told I had water damage which is impossible as I treated the phone like gold.
Does anyone have a reasonable explaination as why this is happening and maybe even a solution?
Thanks!

try to put your phone in recovery mode. plug into itunes and hold down the home button and top button until apple logo appears and then let go of the top button only. the phone should display plug into itunes.let go of the home button when this happens. disconnect iphone and plug it back in itunes should recognize it is in recovery mode. hit the restore button on summary page.

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.

Ios 6 iphone 4 voice control no longer works

I have an iPhone 4 (not 4s) and with iOS5, Voice Control was pretty reliable. Now that I upgraded to iOS6, it does not work at all. Anyone else having the same issues?

Just time for another cup of coffee.
