Over active voice control

I've apparently turned on some voice feature where Siri speaks everything, such as screen locked, spells out names in my address book as I scroll over them or when calls come in, speaks the time, etc....just weird stuff that's never happened before. Help! Has anyone else experience this?

  • Anyone else having trouble with overly sensitive voice control upon upgrading to 5.01?

    Today I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.01.
    Then I went running, as I do 3 times a week.
    Every 50 feet the music would stop and Voice Control would come up.  This is extremely frustrating!  I've never had this issue before -- same phone, same headset that I've been using all year.
    I'm using the Nike Plus running app, which uses the built-in iPod / Music app for playing music.
    Never had an issue before now.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Yes! I have this too! Siri keeps popping up all the time! And I don't run or use another app. Siri just opens and the mic symbol comes up. "What can I help you with?" Aaaaah. Very frustrating. Also only since the iOS 5.01 upgrade.

  • My new (8/2012) iPod Touch: voice control suddenly activates on its own. Is there a reason for this and how do you get it to stop?

    For reasons unknown to me, my brand new ipod touch keeps activating Voice Control. I am not pressing the home button or touching any controls. I can be doing nothing with it and it just kicks on, sometimes interrupting what is already going on (like listening to an audio book in the Audible app. Is there a reason for this and how do I stop it?

    Press the Home Button 3 Times... then goto  >  Settings > General > Accessibility > Voice Over > Off
    Next... Try this...
    Close All Open Apps and Perform a Reset...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Voice control over bluetooth?

    Voice control over bluetooth? even with the apple headset?

    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...

  • 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?

  • IPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

    My daughter's iPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

    VoiceOver is an Accessibility feature while Voice Control allows you to control the Music app via voice.
    To turn off VoiceOver triple click the Home button and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off. Use three fingers to scroll if necessary.

  • TS2634 My Ipod is all of a sudden using voice control and it seems stuck.  I entered the password to use it, but it took me over tapping it to respond.   I can't seem to make anything really work and can't get it off voice control.

    My Ipod seemes to responding slowly if at all and all the sudden in Voice control.   I can't seems even to tap in my passcode to get in.  Any ideas as to why?

    Press the Home Button 3 Times
    Or

    The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes.  You may have to also place the iPod in recovery mode in ordrer to allow a restore. For recovry mode:

  • Why are my headphones activating siri and voice control?

    This just started happening the other day after I updated it.  When I plug my headphones in, it activates siri, and if siri is off it turns on voice control.  Is there anyway to fix this?  I like being able to switch the songs on my headset and not have to pull my phone out everytime. And the voice contol thing is pretty annoying, how do i turn it off?

    Hello xlKamikazeelx,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Are you using the included Ear Pods with remote that came with your iPhone?  Please follow the steps below to see if the center button could be stuck, causing this to occur.
    The stereo headset buttons are not functioning properly
    Verify the headset being used is compatible with the iPhone.
    Verify there is no debris in the headset jack.
    Insert the stereo headset and play audio using the Music app. Verify both left and right channels are functioning.
    Press the center button to see if it can pause and resume audio.
    Make a phone call and see if the microphone is working.
    If the issue persists, try another headset.
    If the issue persists with another headset, have the iPhone serviced.

  • Is there any way to stop "Voice Control"?

    Hiya
    I am hoping one of you will be able to help me with this......
    Tonight my phone has started to beep and then on the screen it shows "Voice Control" with a list of question ideas to ask voice control.
    I have read that "Voice Control" cant be disabled but have seen a couple of ideas on how to get around it but for some reason they arent working on my phone and it keeps interupting my messages, etc when Im half way through using my phone.
    I have tried to turn on Siri hoping that it would stop Voice Control coming up on my phone but that didnt work.
    I have tried activating "Switch Control" because apparently they both cant run at the same time....didnt work for me.
    I have tried Assistive Touch and nope that hasnt worked either.
    I have even tried to reset my phone then back it up from the last time i had on,my computer. Didnt work.
    Only thing I have read that I havent tried is the reset my phone and start from the begining with it.
    I have looked around and read a lot of forums but I was hoping someone might have had the same problem as me and might be able to tell me if it can be fixed or what happened with theirs?
    I have no idea why this is happening or why its happened today. I havent dropped it or anything like that and the phone is just over a year old so its not under warranty unfortunately.
    Voice control is different then the Voice Over option too
    I think my home button may be sticking and the "three clicks on the home button" is to go to my voice control.
    Thanks for your help! Appreciate it
    Thanks!

    Voice control can to be disabled. Sounds to me like you have a broken/defective home button. Make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.

  • HT4623 I have just activated voice command then i can't scrool down . It is letting me in trouble. Need Help.

    Whenever I open any game the game automatically closes. Then I open setting and saw that there is a voice command then I activated the voice command after that I can't scroll down the page so I want to OF this thing. Help Me Please. This is letting me in big trouble.

    There is no Voice Command. there is Voice Control when you can control the Music app via voice commands. There is Also Voice Over whe the iPod spped the commands to you.
    You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • 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?
