No voice control audio over bluetooth or FM Transmitter

I have a 3GS and actively use Voice Control. A couple weeks ago, for seemingly no reason, voice control stopped sending audio cues to my bluetooth headset and over my fm transmitter in the car.
Voice control still works but it's annoying without the audio cues. How do I get them back?

My voice control stopped responding to my bluetooth a couple of times. First time I restored my iPhone, but prefer not to do this. I tried doing a reset press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. When the phone came back up my headset controlled the voice control again.

  • When streaming audio over Bluetooth the wifi is unusable.

    When streaming audio over Bluetooth the wifi connection gets slow and unusable. So no Internet radios over Blutetooth, no streaming from Box.net etc. any solution?

    Try and change the Wi-Fi channel.

  • Voice controling audio books and podcasts

    Hi Folks:
    As a Blind user of an iPhone 3GS, I am unable to extend voice control to audio books or podcasts. Am I doing something wrong or is this not available yet. If it is not available, can someone point me to where I can make this suggestion?
    Thanks all over the place gang.

    I too have run into this issue of voice control not recognizing my Podcast Playlist, hopefully it will be able to soon.

  • IPhone 5 won't play audio over Bluetooth in 2012 Lexus GX 460

    My iPhone 5 can connect via Bluetooth to my 2012 Lexus GX460.  I can make and receive calls over car speaker/Bluetooth.
    However, when I attempt to connect and play music, it says Bluetooth connection failed -- Please see portable player settings.
    Are there new settings on the iPhone to have the audio played over Bluetooth?
    My iPhone 4S and 4 worked perfectly.  Now, the iPhone 5 has issues.
    I have tried this:
    1. Removed the phone from the GX 460
    2. Added the phone back using password
    3. Says it is connected and I can make/receive calls
    Since the audio did not work, I tried:
    1. Turned off Bluetooth on the iPhone
    2. Turned off the iPhone
    3. Removed the phone from the GX 460
    4. Turned off the GX 460
    5. Started the GX 460
    6. Turned on the iPhone
    7. Turned on Bluetooth
    8. Paired the phone with the GX 460
    9. Calls can be made/received, but audio still does not connect
    Lexus has not returned any calls/messages on this one -- hoping someone may have an answer.
    Thanks!

    Had this problem in my 2012 IS F.  Fixed it by going to 'SETUP' -> 'Audio' -> BLuetooth settings.  Deleted the existing pairings and then repaired my phone.  Bingo!

  • Best way to control audio over multiple slides-iMovie or QT Pro?

    I have a 30-slide presentation, and due to the horrendous handling of audio files by Keynote I need figure out the least painful way of controlling audio spanning multiple slides.
    My end goal is to have a Quicktime file to put on the web, and to burn to a CD or DVD for viewing on individual computers. There is audio spanning 3 slides (a Garageband mix with voiceover narration built in,)and different audio for background for different groups of slides.
    Least painful method to attempt this and get ACCURATE TIMING for the end product?

    Make a series of Keynote presentations, one for each complete audio track. Export each as a QuickTime DV (digital video) clip. Launch iMovie and import the clips into a single iMovie project; tweak each clip's audio, as necessary. Finally, export the assembled iMovie to your intended QuickTime format.

  • Audio over bluetooth behaves weird after using Siri on iOS 7

    iOS 7 changed the behavior of audio play through bluetooth after Siri is invoked, I was hoping that 7.1 would fix this issue but that hasn't been the case.
    While playing audio through bluetooth (either through Music app, Podcasts, Pandora, etc) if Siri is invoked for ANY command the following happens:
    Siri interrupts music as expected, command(s) is given to Siri, Siri performs command (be it read text, dial a number, answer question about weather, anything), Siri exits, music comes back on but with different sound quality (almost like it was part of a phone call), 20seconds later music stops. The music playing app wil still be running, the track progress continues, but no audio comes out of car speakers. Only way to resume is to quit app, restart the app, and select play -- everything goes back to normal after that (well, untill Siri is used again).
    This behavior is making using the iPhone in my car for music and navigation almost more work than it's worth. Does anyone have a clue what is going on here? Is this an issue that Apple would have to resolve in a future update? Everything worked as spected in iOS 6.
    My wife and I have two 2011 VW Jetta wagons, I use a 5s and she has a 5c, and both phones have the latest released iO -- the issue presents the same on both cars.

    Sometimes what happens next is (this doesn't always happen) after I say "Give me directions", Siri will say "Ok, getting directions."  Then the lockscreen appears.  If you don't put in your code the directions never start.  Since the phone was in my pocket I didn't realize this.  There was no way for me to know that Siri was not navigating me since the phone was in my pocket.
    EDIT: The above behavior only happens when asking for walking directions.  It happens if you say "Give me walking directions", or if you say "give me directions" and your default method of directions is set to walking directions in maps settings.

  • Voice Caller ID Over BlueTooth

    I am new to Verizon and Android...I recently got a Samsung Charge and want to add voice caller ID.  I am used to having it on my Blackberry on other phones.  In the past the announcements came over my Bluetooth headset when it was enabled.  Has anyone had any experience with any of the caller id apps that announce only over the headset when connected?

  • Streaming app audio over bluetooth while not strea...

    Hi,  is anybody working on updating/changing the bluetooth protocol so app audio can stream over the phone channel instead of the music channel? It is very frustrating not being able to hear turn by turn navigation on a GPS app when listening to the radio.  If you do not have music on your phone you have to turn off bluetooth when ever your using your GPS app, defeats the purpose of having bluetooth/handsfree!
    Thanks for your help.

    Which phone do you have?
    If you wish to leave feedback directly with Nokia, you may do so by clicking the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page, if your phone is not a Nokia Lumia one. If it is a Lumia, please leave feedback with Microsoft themselves at: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com

  • Can't hear Voice Command prompt over bluetooth headset

    Hello,
    I paired my Jawbone Prime headset with my new iPhone 3GS, and for the first day or so I was able to activate Voice Commands by pressing & holding the "Noise Assassin" button. First the headset would beep, then the Voice Command screen would come up on the iPhone, and when the the phone was ready, I'd hear the Voice Command prompt. Everything was great.
    Then, suddenly one afternoon, the headset beeped an extra time, and I no longer hear the Voice Command prompts. I don't hear the initial prompt, or any further prompts such as "home or cell?" or the voice telling me what song is playing.
    I have tried pairing/unpairing, resetting the phone and the headset, and every combination thereof.
    Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions?

    I wish I could say that was the problem, but it was not.  I keep the phone in vibrate mode all the time, but I took it out to try and increase the volume for notification, but it was up all the way already.  FYI - the bluetooth volume is all the way up too.
    I sent a message to Motorola last night to see if they have a solution.  They already upped it to the next level of support to resolve, so I am hoping to hear something from them soon.

  • Voice Control dialling on 3GS via Bluetooth in UK English language

    When I first got my iphone 3GS in Feb 2010 I was really delighted with the voice-control dialling via Bluetooth.  I speak UK English and the language is set to "English (United Kingdom)".  I have about 1200 contacts in the iphone's database.  The OS was OS3.  It worked beautifully.
    Since upgrading the OS to OS4 in mid-2010 the system has never worked properly.  There are some archived discussions on this problem.  It became clear that the early versions of OS4 only worked if you set the voice-control language to US English and spoke with a north-american accent.  In subsequent versions of OS4 it seemed that things had improved, and I even posted a comment thanking Apple for fixing it!   Sorry about that - I was wrong...
    All that has happened is that Apple have slightly improved matters, in that searching the contacts list under voice control now sometimes works - but it is still very poor under Bluetooth.  It usually gets the search wrong - and the quality of the Bluetooth communication when using Voice Control is very poor.  You can't hear the search responses clearly.  I don't think that there is anything wrong with my Bluetooth connection, per se, as phone conversations over Bluetooth are just fine.  The problem is only with voice-control via Bluetooth.  I am currently on OS 4.3.3 (8J2).
    Does anyone else find that Voice-control dialling via Bluetooth is unreliable, using a 3GS on OS4, speaking in a language other than US English?
    Maybe someone has a way of making it work properly?

    in the same boat with a 2006 bmw. the button on the steering wheel dials the last number that was dialed from the cars system, it doesn't behave like default "action" button that is on bluetooth headsets -- that is the issue.
    Is there some way to 1) remap the button in the car (doubtful) or 2) have the car dial a "phone number" that tells the phone to respond with the voice command through the bluetooth system (maybe, but also doubtul)

  • How could they not let top-end Bluetooth Headsets activate Voice Control

    I love Voice Control. It was an important feature missing from the 3G. Also was a video function. They addressed both with the 3GS. But then what do they do, forget to let Voice Control be accessed by a Bluetooth Headset.
    Don't get my wrong, probably not all Bluetooth Headsets can support picking up a Voice Control function from a random cell phone. But I have a $140 Headseat, the Motorola Pure H15. This is the Nissan GTR of Bluetooth Headsets. Trust me, if there's a function that a headset can possess, this one has it and more.
    So after pairing with the 3GS, why can't it gain access to the Voice Control? Hold the H15 button and the 3GS redials the last number dialed, which is a universal language between headset and cell phone. So I know that works, but push the button and the H15 attempts to connect and shows this by expressing several different tones: an access tone, then a deactivated tone. It's a weird combination of tones when pressing the button, it's trying but not getting through.
    I hope Apple can fix this by way of software and avoid a hardware revision. Please please! I hope it's a quick fix and that Apple has this missing function on their priority list of future updates.

    fear not... the people out there testing 3.1 mention that voice control works via Bluetooth on 3.1 so just give it a couple months and the feature will be there

  • Voice control demon

    when listing to playlist before i go to bed, sometimes the voice control takes over making calls and hijacking my phone, (of course im sleeping when this happens) i wake to voice control sound. But ussually its to late, the call has been made! Im not holding the home button when i wake, why does this happen, i tried a test while holding home button down and made a snore sound, sure enough my phone dialied a random number on contact list. Im in fear of listing to music now when I go to bed. Anyone Know?

    Activated my new 3G S yesterday and I just tried it with my Apple bluetooth headset today. Sadly, it's a no go. That is, the headset works just as before (with the nice on-screen battery charge indicator), but pushing the button does absolutely nothing except answer incoming calls.
    I agree, Apple missed the boat on this one. Been waiting for voice dialing since the original iPhone (which the new 3G S replaces Knowing Apple's history, they will likely release a new bluetooth headset that will have a special button to activate Voice Over, but not update firmware for old bluetooth headsets or 3rd party headsets to work...

  • My iPhone gone mad can't turn off voice control which turned on by itself now can't access phone as can't get past my screen lock! Also it keeps calling random people in my contacts help please

    iPhone 4 gone mad voice control taken over phone, can't get past my screen lock it won't  respond at all, keeps dialling random people won't do anything at all!!! Even when go on voice control screen and hold power off and home screen down nothing No response. Help please? My mother very sick in hospital and need my mobile!!

    Have you tried to power off and on?  If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
    If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

  • Intermittent Voice Control Over Bluetooth

    I'm finding that voice control over Bluetooth using my Plantronics 510 headset regularly stops working, while other Bluetooth functions remain active.
    Normally, holding the button on the headset down will activate Voice Control. I can hear the "listening" tone, and the phone responds to my command (e.g. "Call Telecon One Work").
    On several occasions, I've found that holding the button fails to activate Voice Command, but other BT functions controlled by the headset button still work - a double press, for example, still redials the last number. After rebooting the phone, voice command is once again available by pushing the headset button.
    OT - At some point, it would be nice if iPhone OS 3.1 was added to the list of OS choices in the pulldown menu for discussion posts.

    I'm having the same problem. For me, the problem only starts after I plug in the iPhone to charge (while connected to the bluetooth).
    Is that the same for you?
