Unexpected voice control and headphone use

We have two iPhone 3 G's in our household that we have used without incident up until this last month. With one phone, my husband used a new set of ear phones (not Apple) and the voice control would come on unexpectedly, over and over to the point that he couldn't listen to music.  The same thing started happening with my phone this last week while listening to music with the Apple ear phones. While trying to cancel the voice control over and over, I noticed that the music files sounded corrupt.  Any suggestions?

I can use my Jawbone 2 to activate voice control just fine. As if it were any other phone that has had this technology for years.
As far as using "Activate Voice Control and request(ing) whatever", the 3rd contact on my Favorites list can get me hookers and crack cocaine, so does that qualify?
Summary: Click on button at the top of my Jawbone -> Activates Voice Control -> Say "Dial. Lou. Mobile" -> Wait a few seconds. Say "Lou. Me. The usual." -> press center button on Jawbone to disconnect. -> go back to watching Sports Center.

  • When will we be able to rate music using voice control and Siri?

    It's pretty cool to be able to control the music app using voice control, but we really need to be able to rate songs too. I mean I can do everything else I need to do with my music with the voice control, except rate music, and always rate every song when I listen to it. Then, once they're all rated, I create a smart playlist with my top rated of that artist and just sync them to the iPhone, so you can see how important rating it to me as well as many, many more iPhone users.
    But, let's say I'm listening to music while I'm running and the iPhone is in an armband. I pretty much can't rate any music then, which *****. So, how about a little surprise with the iOS 7.0.3 update. Throw in the ability to rate music using the voice control and Siri. It's not just because you need to fix bugs and focus on future projects that you can't go back and add some cool updates to some of the old features. It would probably take on of your developers like 15 mintues to code it into the OS.
    Let's have a happy update soon. Remember, iPhone 4 users are still Apple customers, too and I'm sure the Siri users would like that as well.

    Only Apple would know their future plans and they haven't said. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

  • Voice control and play order

    I noticed that playing songs by artist via the voice control feature ("play artist whoever") results in all the albums being played +as albums+. By contrast, if you select an artist from the menus, and play "all songs", it plays them in alphabetical order by song.
    Since I prefer to listen to albums in the original order, this is an unexpected benefit to the voice control feature.
    I just wish they'd bring back the "shuffle by album" feature; I miss that.
    Anyone notice any other useful quirks?

    hi,
    Can you do a right click > properties on the Network Controller and on the details tab > dropdown menu, copy the hardware ID and post it here to find out the model/maker of the wireless card.
    Guide:
    Windows 7: Hardware Identification
    Btw, were you using the ethernet cable a while ago when you downloaded the WiFi driver on the Y510p? If yes, can you try to reinsert it in and ensure fully contacts the ethernet (it'll usually make a click sound). When finished, press the Windows Key+R then type ncpa.cpl and ensure that the Ethernet connection doesn't say disabled or Network Cable Unplugged.
      - Sample screenshot
    As for the other devices that has yellow exclamation marks, these drivers should fix it (you may download these on another PC and install it on the Y510p).
    SM Bus Controller:
    Intel Chipset Driver
    v9.4.0.1017
    Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller:

  • TS4079 4s 's voice control and siri suddenly operate by themself without touching

    Hi. My 4s 's voice control and siri suddenly operate by themself without touching the phone all the time. Tried to swiitch off and when reopen still status quo.Possible that my phone got virus? What should I do?

    This is definitely not a virus. There is no known malware capable of infecting iOS, unless it has been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store).
    First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
    If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

  • 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?

    If you mean Voice Over... See Here...
    Press the Home Button 3 Times
    Or
    Settings > General > Accessibility > Voice Over > Off

  • Voice Control and phone lock

    Hi everyone,
    I was testing my new iPhone 4 while I noticed that, despite the fact that there's a passcode set in order to use it, Voice Control still works.
    So even if a person does not have the passcode, the phone is allowed to make calls, play music and do everything Voice Control allows.
    Isn't that.. wrong?
    Or am I missing some different angle for this function?
    Regards,
    M

    Settings->General->Passcode Lock->Voice Dial
    You can turn it off there.
    Regards,

  • Voice Control and Pronounciation

    I speak spanish and I use VoiceControl regularly... but I have friends with names that are pronounced in english. For instance, Jenny I have to call her Heni for the voice control to work. How can I solve this without changing the way the name is spelled?

    Hi again!
    Just an update. I contacted Adobe support and their answer was that third party voices can be used in Captivate but there is no way to control the pronounciation or adding pauses in Captivate. This is only possible for Neospeech voices where you may use VTML-tags. According to me that means that Captivate is NOT really compatible with 3rd party voices, SAPI5-complient or not.
    The 5-6 included voices from Neospeech all sound too robotic and my client was amused rather than impressed when hearing them. I really wanted to use a quality voice and bought Amy from IVONA. I am very disappointed that it can't be used easily in Captivate. The work around is to record a sound-file for each page and import, which will take twice as long for each page and be harder to keep updated.
    Best regards

  • 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 ////

  • IPod keeps Turing on voice control and face time

    My iPod (4g, iOS 6.0.1) often turns on voice control or tries to face time one of my contacts when it is sleeping, and I've tried restoring it and nothing has changed, what can I do?
    Thanks!

    I don't know if you can turn it off, yet. That may be coming with a software update at some point. If you're okay with using the passcode feature, You can turn off the Voice Dial feature:
    Settings->General->Passcode Lock->Voice Dial.
    This may be a temporary fix until we'll have the option to turn it off completely as a setting.

  • Voice controll and blue tooth

    I'm having problems with using Bluetooth and voice control with my bb10. I can finally get it to recognize my command and able to make a call, but when it try a second call it won't work and apparent ly the last call has left voice command on.
    So how do I hang voice command calls up short of complety rebooting my phone? I gave tried 3 different Bluetooth devices before I realized it is the phone and not the Bluetooth!

    Hi Sboron,
    Does your Bluetooth device have an end call button on it? Do you see an end call button available on your BlackBerry Z10?
    Thanks.

  • Help!!  iPhone 4 Voice Control and screen lock

    Hi.  I have an iPhone 4 and this morning out of the blue, the Voice Control started coming on.  It doesn't matter what I am doing.  Also, the screen keeps locking up.  Any screen I am on.  I do not use ear buds and it hasn’t been wet.  Please help

    I tried the reset and it did not work.  What happens is I will go to an app.  (Like now I am in the text messaging app).  I am stuck here.  I can reply, create a message, and maneuver through the texting screens, but I am stuck in text messaging until I turn it off... Then, when I restart and go to any other app, I get the same thing.
    Then there is the voice command.  The thing that allows you to speak a command, such as call office, or facetime...  It pops up randomly. 
    All of this started this morning.  I haven't dropped it, gotten it wet, or anything.  I don't understand.
