No Talk back from Voice Control

About 3 weeks ago my voice control stopped talking back to me.    I've done all the regular reboot stuff and checked the settings and tried everything I can think of to turn it back on.   Is this an OS problem?  I'm currently running 10.2.1.537    If so.. when will it be fixed.   Ontario just doubled the fines for distracted driving.  :-(

Good day
Oh yes I did read bout that in news on monday lol
Has this problem just started when you did the update?

  • Changing home button from voice control

    How do you change the home button setting not to go to voice control if you keep your finger on it?
    Thanks

    In the previous iPhone OS, you had an option to change what the Home button double-click would do. That is no longer available in OS 4. In all versions with voice control, it is activated by pressing and holding the Home button.

  • Voice control does not kick in place of SIRI when there is no internet connection

    i have an iPhone 4s. i mainly use WIFI at both home and work. and am quite happy with SIRI. but when i leave home for work or am on my way back home after work quite often i press and hold the volume button to give voice command to call my wife. but SIRI does not work!
    well, because SIRI needs internet connection and i dont bother using mobile internet (cause then i will need to turn on 3G which drains my battery like nothing on earth) it can not work.
    but why does not my ordinary voice control kick in? since 4S is such a great gadget and is so smart in every way (apart from the pictures taken with the volume button could not be turned to adjust orientation in windows!) i was expecting this would be a normal thing to expect from it.
    anyways, hope someday they would fix this. 

    I'm assuming you can either use Siri or Voice Control, but not both.  I think if you turn Siri on the activation used to use Siri is removed from Voice Control and vice versa.  This is just my own theory.  Maybe a future software update might allow this.

  • After backing up my phone to the new iphone 4S, voice control comes on every time I try to use siri?

    After backing up my phone to the new iphone 4S, voice control comes on every time I try to use siri? I have to newest itunes so what should I do? I completley can not use Siri

    Some advice from various locations on the web (use google).  Each works for some users, not all.  Give these a try.
    Try to deauthorize the computer then authorize it.
    select song or app. that's not authorized, itunes will ask for your password, enter password, click ok, and ok again. Done.
    I had the same problem when I switched from my laptop to a macbook. What I figured out was that I had purchased applications under two different email addresses. You can click on one of the applications that is not syncing and go to "File" then "Get Info" to find out what email address you used to purchase those applications. Hopefully this helps.
    Sometimes a reboot of either the computer or the iPhone or both fixes this, if you’ve authorized already.

  • The home button does not respond and when I turn on phone it activate voice control. I have to turn the phone off and back on to access another app

    my iphone 4 home button is not working anymore. I have to turn the phone off and on again to access an app. When turning it on it immediately goes to voice control. I cannot get out of this. I have checked and updated the software and finally reset the phone. All this has left me with the same problem. Any ideas???

  • Issues...rattling when back is tapped...voice control just turns on

    Ok...its the first time ive used my iPhone 3GS without a case...just noticed that when i tap the back i get a little rattling noise, when i shake the it i dont hear anything. Also when i use the old iPhone earplugs sometimes the voice control just opens after a couple of taps and calls...
    So for the rattling noise...is this normal?
    For the voice control...is it baecase i use an old iPhone ear plug? I havent even used the new one that came with the GS...since i dont realy care about having volume control...
    Any comments?

    I believe it is the autofocus lens you can hear as my 3GS also does that.
    I am not sure about the voice control problem as I used the ones I got with my 3GS after I upgraded from my 2G and I really like the volume control on the earbuds.
    Your best bet is to try the ones supplied with the 3GS and see if you can recreate the problem then you will know for sure.

  • 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?

  • My mom shut of siri in the restritions, but then she turned it back on. the problem is that no matter how many times i shut off my phone and turn it back on, it still has voice control on. Will someone help me.

    My mom shut of Siri in the restrictions, but then she turned it back on, the problem is no matter how many times i turn my phone on and off, it still has voice control. Will someone help me?

    When Siri is OFF, Voice control is automatically ON

  • I can only make outgoing calls. My home button is only working for voice control and won't take me back to menu. I am only in the calling screen and can't even shut off. What do I do?

    I am freaking out! I am a college student and owner of my Iphone 3Gs. I just got it this past August and I don't understand what is wrong. I did not drop it or come into contact with any water or disabling substance. I am literally stuck on the calling page with favorites, recents, contacts, keypad and voicemail. When I push my Home button I am not brought back to my menu. When I hold it down voice control is enabled but I still can't get to my menu. Then when I try to hold the sleep button to shut off nothing happens. What's wrong with my phone? I can't even go into contacts and hit text message nothing happens. Also, when I get a message in nothing happens when I push view. Please help me.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Hello all,  I bought an iPhone 5 in the US and brought it back to Brasil. Now I'm trying to use Siri, but once I press the "home" button "voice control" appears and it only works for me to call my contacts. The manual guide tells me to go to Settings Gene

    Hello all,
    I bought an iPhone 5 in the US and brought it back to Brasil. Now I'm trying to use Siri, but once I press the "home" button "voice control" appears and it only works for me to call my contacts. The manual guide tells me to go to Settings>General>Siri. At the General menu "Siri" doesn't appear. What should I do to set Siri up if it doesn't appear at settings>general?
    Thank you,
    Melanie.

    Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Siri is set to On.

  • I am in Brazil traveling tmw to NYC. I accidently turned on voice control and now cannot get back to settings icon to turn this feature off. How can I get back to the plain and simple ? Thks. This is urgent since the internet is very slow. Thks///

    I am currently in Brazil traveling back to NYC tmw. I accidently , .... playing around with my 13 yr old turned on the voice control.voice over (?) and signed in using "portuguese -Brazilian " as the language of choice even though for the past 4 months I had it set to U.S. English. Now it answers only in Music mode, won't move out of it and in a portuguese that sounds more lie martian than any language spoken on earth. How do I re-set the Nano, get out of this config and back to settings. Anyone out there with an answer since I would like to use tmw on the plane ride home  - 9.5 hours. Thks to all ////

  • Problem with video coming back from fullscreen: duplicated controls

    Hi there!
    I'm using the following code to go fullscreen with a video, the video controls are set to autohide.
    The problem comes when I close the full screen mode (by button or simply with scape) to normal mode, flash places a new video control that stays over the video and if I place the mouse over the movie I can see the autohiden controls appearing under the new added one.
    Any hints?
    Thanks.
    flvControl.autoPlay = false;
    flvControl.autoRewind = true;
    flvControl.scaleMode = VideoScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
    flvControl.source = flvSource;
    flvControl.skinAutoHide = true;
    flvControl.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
    function goFullScreen():void
        if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
               stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
        else
               stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
    flvControl.fullScreenButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _handleClick)
    function _handleClick(event:MouseEvent):void
        goFullScreen();

    @Andrew Rosewarn
    Hmm, that much I'm aware of...
    Is there anything that can theoretically exist in the displayList that doesn't necessarily take up an index?
    When I check the index on my main application, there are only 2 items. [0] and [1], yet the [1] component is still being covered up by something...
    I tried not hiding the [0] component (visible = true) and I can see it, but there is some kind of overlay over it that restricts me from clicking of the buttons on that component. And the overlay has a partial opacity, which is slightly transparent...
    If there is no such possibilty, that would mean that overlay is actually my [1] component... but it is slightly transparent and missing all visual indicators that it IS indeed the [1] component..
    This only happens when I come go to fullscreen then come back from fullscreen before the video completes and all those functions run.
    The [1] component gets added upon the videoDisplay.COMPLETE event, that fact along with double checking the index confirms that the sharingBookmarks component is indeed on the top of my display stack..
    Any clues or directions are greatly appreciated, thanks!
    DK
    p.s. I can provide more code or answers to any questions if anyone is interested in solving this puzzle.

  • My iPad 2 has finally got ios 7 but voice control is not there is there a way to get it back

    Does voice control come with ios 7 for iPad 2

    What are you calling "voice control"? Volume control?
     Cheers, Tom

  • Hello. Whenever I plug in my headphones, the music speeds up, changes, and stops by itself. And then Voice Control starts for no reason. I put back Siri to see if that was the problem and the same thing happened with Siri. How do I fix this?

    When I plug in my headphones the music starts to soeed up and stop ayi g by itself. Another issue is when it does stop, Voice Control is on when I don't hold on the home button. I turned on Siri because this is what started my problem (taking off Siri) and it didn't help, instead of Voice Control, Siri started to turn on. I didn't want Siri, so I put Voice Control and disabled it. I did so, and the problem still kept on going. Any ideas on how yo fix it?

    I'd guess that the problem is due to a short in your earphones. Try another set.

  • IPhone 3GS with iOS4 - voice control does not work any more

    Hi - I updated the OS of my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 and everything went well. But ever since I did the update the voice control comes back with strange results when I try to use it. It was working well enough with OS3. Has anybody the same problems and is there a solution?
    Thanks,
    Klaus

    I'm experiencing basically the same as teardrop3d. I'm Australian (with voice settings on English (Australian)) and my 3Gs had at least 90% accuracy with both calls and music requests.
    On iOS4 I've had a single correct result out of at least 30 attempts at using it.
    Requesting "play playlist <name>" will often either start calling a seemingly random person from my phone book (different each time anyway) or sometimes a seemingly random number (I don't know where the number comes from, it's not in my phone book). Sometimes it'll actually offer to play music, usually a specific artist (not a playlist) and occasionally a playlist (but so far never the right one).
    Requesting "call <name> <number type>" has worked once correctly, but usually just tries to call a seemingly random number from my phone book (or a number I don't know, not in my phonebook...).
    As teardrop3d notes, the voice control screen stays up for about 2-4 seconds after I finish talking. It doesn't seem to be recording during this time, as the waveform stops responding to my voice but the screen sits there (with words moving past in the background still) as if its waiting for me to keep talking.
    I've tried talking in different accents to no avail, and didn't get any better results with a different English language setting on the Voice Control (I'm not sure if that's actually listening for different accents or just responding in a different accent?)
    This feature which I used to use multiple times a day to avoid having to take my phone out of my pocket while walking/riding is now useless. I continue to test it each day to see if it ever works, or if there are any behaviours that change it (e.g. locked vs unlocked or with music playing/not playing when I press/hold the mic-button, etc) but so far haven't found any workarounds.
