Voice control slow?

To activate voice control, I push and hold the home button and it takes just about 4 seconds before it pops up.
Is everyone elses like this? Why the heck make me wait 4 seconds?
It's not like the home key is a multi-launch button where you hold it for 1 second, it launches app X, hold it for 2 seconds, it launches app Y, hold it for 3 seconds, it launches app Z, hold it for 4 seconds, it launches voice control.
I'm just trying to see if it's just my device or everyone has to wait for 4 seconds while the phone does nothing. Stupid, it should be up in under a second.

I asked a question if 4 seconds was normal, trying to find out if there was an issue with my phone.
Your useless smart a$$ answer provides benefit to no one.
Obviously you're the one who is not very smart as yes it is a mechanical switch, but that switch generates an interrupt to the software which is very smart and can do anything it wants.
Someone programmed it to wait 4 seconds. A press would constitute something in the area of 250ms, anything longer could be considered a hold.
I have written software for mobile devices for the past 10 years, and have used a press vs. hold vs. longer hold as an application launcher on many devices, so I was surprised that it took a hold of 4 seconds to get it to activate, and wanted to know if this was normal or an issue with mine phone.
Can you just answer the question?

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.

Iphone 4 Voice Control not working Properly after iCloud Contacts sync

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem. Recently I enabled iCloud settings to sync contacts from my iPhone to iCloud.
It asked me that do I want to merge the contacts from iCloud onto this iPhone. Obviously I clicked yes.
What it did was actually not sync all but around 1/3 of my contact list and erasing the remaining. The other 2/3 of my contact list wasn't on both iCloud or iPhone.
So I decided to restore my iPhone from the backup i took just before enabling iCloud. But I forgot to switch off the iCloud settings for not syncing Contacts.
Although I recovered all my contacts from the backup, my voice control has stopped recognizing my remaining 2/3 of the contact list that did not actually sync.
It can recognize all the contacts that were synced with iCloud, but not the ones that got erased.
After backup restore, iCloud settings was switched to off state and I did not dare enabling it back on.
Has anyone observed this behaviour? I just cannot seem to get the voice control recognize the remaining 2/3 contacts at all. I tried renaming the contact that it recognized to some other name and it still does not recognize the new ones.
Please help me find out the reason for this and how can i fix it?

I'm getting this too. It's very slow and apparently thinks "Call Sue Newport" sounds like "Call Halfords" or "Call Halyards" and, most surprisingly "Call First Great Western".
I was wearing my Jawbone Bluetooth headset so it's nothing to do with background noise.
I tried the new "What time is it?" command which works but takes about 10-15 seconds to activate.

IPhone-4 Voice Control not working properly

I'm facing trouble with the iphone-4 voice control. Its not correctly recognizing my voice commands. When I ask it to call a specific phone number it never dials the correct number, I have notice that it happens for some specific numbers when asked to dial. Also , songs are also sometime not correctly recognized and a wrong songs/album starts playing. But, when I tried same phone numbers or songs playing command on a Google Powered android phone..it recognizes all voice commands correctly and works perfectly fine. I think apple needs to fix this issue..right now the voice control ***** big time

IPhone 3Gs Voice Control does not work

Purchased IPhone 3Gs 32g beside having no service were I live (AT&T is building a cell tower about a mile from my house) my Voice control only works about 1% of the time. For the Ipod I usually get some kind of error message “like listing not found” when it does find an album or artist it always the same one. I am sick of hearing Santana. For call when I do get a signal I also usually get an error message or if it works it pick on of my doctors and that’s it.
Went to the Genesis bar and they said it was a software problem, they gave me a new IPhone with my old sims card, but the did not test the new IPhone Voice control in the store because there were on contacts or albums in the memory.
Got home synced the new one and guess what same exact problem. I have read and tried everything on the internet and nothing has worked any ideas or suggestions ? Please help I tired of listing to Santana and calling Dr. Aronald.

There's a few things you can try that might help out.
No. 1 Make sure your genius results are updated. If you're saying "Play music like Snoop Dogg" it's going to try to make a genius playlist, and that might be why you have no results found.
No. 2 Speak slower. This might sound kinda dumb, I'm not trying to be a smartass. I found that my voice command worked 200% better when I spoke just a little bit slower. Not sure why exactly, but the difference was night and day.
No. 3 When calling someone (on purpose of course) it helps to sometimes add "mobile" at the end if the number is listed as mobile in your contact book. Usually you only need to do this if the contact has more then one number, but it helps even if they don't just to eliminate any ambiguity from the voice command.
Hope that helps!

My voice control keeps coming up without me even doing anything

Ipod 4th generation
My ipod's voice control keeps coming up without me even doing anything and when I cancel it/it cancels itself, my music library starts to play. I have an app to listen to video songs on and it keeps on stopping because of this problem. My Ipod works at a very slow speed now as well, it takes ages to type and it doesnt move very fast either. I NEED A SOLUTION FOR THIS PLEASE!!
thanks xx

Is your home button damaged on broken? Try closing apps in the multitasking bar (press the home button 2x times)
Reset (Hold both buttons till the iPod restarts - no data will be deleted) and restore it (all data will be deleted - full restore!)
If that ain't helping, take it to an Apple Store.

When using podcast i switch to radio-canada live and it start to stop and restart it and voice control start and stop by it self

When i listen music on my iphone 4 using podcast (training session workout) i switched to radio-canada live and after a while it start to stop and start radio-canada live and voice control stop and start by itself???

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

How do you off voice control on iPhone 4?

Hey, recently my phone has this problem that the voice control kept activating itself when I am using my phone sometimes and even when I was away from it. It automatically calls a random someone from my contacts after activating itself, so it gets very embarrassing when my friends asked why did i called them. Help please

You can't disable voice control. The only setting is to turn off the Voice Dial feature: Settings->General->Passcode Lock->Voice Dial

Voice Control Volume

Using Voice control via pressing the headphones and asking "what's playing?" continues to be
accurate but the volume is suddenly way way lower than it used to be. It's out of whack with the
music volume where before the speaking voice was comparable to the music level. Is there a way of
changing the volume on the voice control voice?

Same here
Please help

How to stop voice control

how to stop voice control?

Hi Joannewpark,
Press your Home Button to get to the Home Screen.
Press Settings, then press again 2x fast - you will go to the Settings screen
Press on General, then press again 2x fast - you will go to the General screen
Use 2 fingers to indicate scroll up - Voice Over will begin to read the items on the screen, and will eventually get to the Accessibility option. When it says "Accessibility" press on it, then press on it 2x fast
It will go to the Accessibility screen, tap on the Voice Over option one, and then again 2x fast, now tap on the Voice Over option again, and then double tap to turn it off.
Cheers,

How to turn off voice control with iPhone 5s with iOS 8

I Dropped my phone in the tub, I have an otterbox on it but it didn't do the phone any good :/. I dried it off and the home button started acting up. And now it doesnt work when i hit it. But the Touch ID still works. However randomly voice control will pop up and call random people when i don't even touch it. I tried going into restrictions > Siri and turning it off I turned off voice

Otterbox cases are not waterproof and are not advertised to be so. For that, you need a Lifeproof case or similar.
If you turn off Siri, Voice Control is enabled. The only way to turn off Voice Control is to turn Siri back on. Your phone has been damaged by immersion in liquid and may never work properly again. Sorry.

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?
