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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

my ipod touch 3G has some interesting problems. the voice control and the main menu eep poping up and there are seems like nothing i can do. i already tried rebooting, but it didn't help. any ipod expert can help？really appreaciate.

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).

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:

I accidently dropped my iphone from about 15 feet in the air, had an otterbox gel case on it but phone will not come on, I can still hear the voice controls and will play music randomly by pushing the center bush on phone any clues on how to get phone wor

I recently dropped my iphone 4 from about 15 feet in the air, had an otter box gel case on it and it did not break the screen, but it will not come on, no back light but can still hear the voice contorl and randomly hear music when I push the center button, I have it password locked but can't see to unlock, any help out there

Just guessing here, but dropping your phone is probably the reason your screen or backlight doesn't work.
Only solution I see is to take it to Apple and buy and out of warranty iphone 4.

HT1414 I accidently turned on my Voice control and now my apps are not working, I cannot even use my phone app to make a call. plz help

Any advice on how to turn off Voice Control?
My phone is NOT working because of this.
PLEASE help
Thank you

I have same problem. I can get to Settings > General, but can get any furthrt than Auto Lock! Screen won't scroll or anything. HELP!!!

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.

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.

Why the iPhone 3G doesn't have voice control and a video recorder?

Why the "old" iPhone 3G can't support video and voice control?
Is there a technical explanation?
Yes, I know that they're functions reserved at the iPhone 3GS
but why? Both have a microphone and a camera, the only difference that the 3GS has a faster processor.... so, does someone know why there is this difference?
Thank you very much for yours answers!

"If the 3G offered all the same features as the 3GS, then there would be no reason to upgrade."
'If', maybe, but the fact is that the 3G is not capable ever of offering (due to hardware limitations) the same features as the 3GS, so surely such speculation is pointless and it is only wishful-thinking from those who are either:
1) not prepared to pay for the hardware that will support the facilities they wish were on their 3G, or
2) not prepared to wait for their contracts to allow them free phone upgrades to what will then be one generation beyond the 3GS, allowing the 3GS owners to complain about why their 3GS iPhones can't support the facilities of the next generation iPhones?!
My Mum told me "I 'want' cannot always 'have'....", so if I 'want' then I'll pay and if I can't pay then I'll not moan about not being able to 'have', just work harder or stay quiet until I CAN 'have'.
A wise old bird, my Mum!
