Voice control under 10.2.1.2102

I just received the newest update and while the previous voice control issues (full voice control responses inaudible) are now gone, I'm seeing a couple new issues.
When using Full Voice Control, if I issue a command (ie. "Send bbm to bob smith"), there is often a very long delay from when i stop talking to when the confirmation sound is heard, sometimes up to 10 seconds.  This is not the delay to get the command back, rather the delay before the command is actually sent to the voice control server once it detects i have stopped talking.  Observed with 2 bluetooth headsets, so it is not headset related.
A second issue has to do with voice acurracy.  It definitely is not as accurate as it used to be.  Often, I need to repeat simple terms like "yes" or "message" over and over again.  This occurs over bluetooth and over the speaker, with US English and UK English.  I don't really have an accent.
Has anyone else noticed similar issues?  Voice control is essential for me while driving, and it remains one of the weakest features in an otherwise stellar device.

Forgive the dumb question here...because at first I didn't think mine was fixed either.
I honestly don't remember...when you first hit the Voice Control microphone app icon...I don't get  a voice as it's waiting for an input from me.  Once I say something like "Send text"  it then responds via voice feedback correctly.  I don't remember if this is how it worked before.
The reason I mention this is that when I first tried it after reboot...I also thought it wasn't fixed.

  • After backing up my phone to the new iphone 4S, voice control comes on every time I try to use siri?

    After backing up my phone to the new iphone 4S, voice control comes on every time I try to use siri? I have to newest itunes so what should I do? I completley can not use Siri

    Some advice from various locations on the web (use google).  Each works for some users, not all.  Give these a try.
    Try to deauthorize the computer then authorize it.
    select song or app. that's not authorized, itunes will ask for your password, enter password, click ok, and ok again. Done.
    I had the same problem when I switched from my laptop to a macbook. What I figured out was that I had purchased applications under two different email addresses. You can click on one of the applications that is not syncing and go to "File" then "Get Info" to find out what email address you used to purchase those applications. Hopefully this helps.
    Sometimes a reboot of either the computer or the iPhone or both fixes this, if you’ve authorized already.

  • 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.

  • No Voice Guidance under Bluetooth

    The "No Voice Guidance under Bluetooth" problem seems to be well documented on this board as well as elsewhere on the web, and can be sumarize like this:
    In-Car bluetooth connections that work fine for phonecalls will not relay voice directions from Maps, and the phone itself stays mute. In effect, no voice directions are heard at all.
    The reason seems clear as well: The bluetooth standard allows for several different kinds of sound-streams for priority purposes etc. Most In-Car bluetooth devices however (including several NOKIA-ones), accept only actual phonecalls. Hence, all oher sound is muted while connected to the car.
    The rather obvious solution would be to have a setup-item in Ovi-Maps that forces all sound from the program to use the phones integrated speakers instead of an operative Bluetooth connection. (Use Bluetooth connection for Voice directions On/Off). 
    However, over all the posts, NO NOKIA STAFF have responded to aknowledge the problem or comment on it's possible solution or workaround. (And I have not found any third party app that adresses the issue.)
    One might speculate that the reason would be the design of the operating system, choosing to handle all sound in a similar way, which undoubtedly is a good thing ... in most cases, but in this case dissalows usage of the free navigation in the one situation it is of the highest value - IN THE CAR.  
    NOW - as FREE NAVIGATION becomes a major selling point and the aplication can't work in a modern car while maintaining legal phone connectivity, NOKIA needs to accept this reality, and make Ovi-maps useable for these users as well - even if that means defying a design principle. An actual response from someone informed, would be greatly appreciated.
    For reference, I use version 3.03 10wk01 b05 of Ovi-maps on my NOKIA N97 mini with a factory fitted Alfa Romeo "Blue&Me" bluetooth kit, developed by Microsoft Automotive.

    I don't have this issue. But then I don't have a BT system built-in to the car.
    What I do have is a Sony BT Radio / CD / AUX which I fitted myself.
    The Sony has 2 "channels" for BT input - "Music" and "Phone". I can connect my N97 using both of these channels,or only one. The SatNav function on the phone uses the Music channel, and the phone uses the Phone channel.
    I also have an Archos 5 IT, which has GPS and BT. So I can connect my Archos for the Satnav, and the N97 for the phone, and the radio controls which output is muted, at the touch of one button.
    I mention this to show that the Nokia N97 has all the technology and flexibility to perform all these functions perfectly, co-operating fully with other devices.
    Can you say the same for the devices fitted in your cars? How long ago were these devices fitted? How long ago did you buy these cars? When was the firmware last updated? What standards did the in-car devices conform to in the first place.
    Just a thought.

  • Apple Voice Control Gone Nuts

    I thought I had this under control before, but my ipod touch 5 just updated, and now the Voice Control has gone insane. I just have to leave it sitting on a desk, and voice control will pop up, and just do all sorts of random things. The last little bit, it's usually gone straight to shuffle, followed by the random pauses and fast-forwards. And if I shut voice control off (hitting the home button), it doesn't matter, because it pops right back up again. I thought voice control was only supposed to activate if you pressed on the home button long enough, and then shut off when you tap the home button once. Why does it instead randomly keep on coming up like this? Basically, Apple has given me a useless device. I don't understand why this sort of thing doesn't ever get fixed. Or, if I'm doing something wrong, what is it?

    If you are using headphones try with no headphones or different headphones.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why voice control/ Siri is not supported in the middile east?

    I am trying to use voice control / Siri to get near restaurants, shops. It keep gives me message says  can't find restaurants or any place i asked for in Kuwait.
    I hope I can find solution for this. It's disappointed If voice control not supported in Kuwait :(
    Anyone had this kind of problems with Siri?

    I had problems on one of my pages (and only one) under chrome. First the buttons stopped working...they were supposed to branch to another page in the application but instead the url they went to was 'localhost'/the page so of ourse this didn't work. I flixed this by manually adding the whole url for the button. Also strangely enough from this page/tab only clicking on the other tabs does not work. I have yet to work out how to fix this...luckily i have few chrome users. I am considering posting a message warning people not to use chrome...
    maybe this will go away when apex 4.0 comes out.... hopefully before many people use chrome...when is 4.0 coming out? Yes I am holding my breath....
    (btw you can see that page if you to to www.schedulemail.net and go to the "options" tab.)

  • 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?

  • 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)

  • Iphone 4; Software Issues RE: Home Button, Voice Control & Calls

    Two days ago my iPhone 4, with the latest operating system, has been having a series of problems;
    - The home button has stopped working
    - Voice control activates independently
    - Voice and Facetime calls have been connected by itsself, even though it is just sitting in lock mode on my desk, not connected to my computer or even WiFi.
    I have restored the phone to its factory settings, this did not fix the issues.
    Does anyone know of to fix this or if this is a software issue that can be handled by the apple store.
    I have had the phone for under a year.
    Thanks.

  • What is the idea behind specifying the voice VLAN under the interface

    Hi,
    What is the idea behind specifying the voice VLAN under the interface? (Is it needed for both 802.1P and 802.1Q?)
    Regards
    M

    The voice vlan command is what tells the IP phone what VLAN it should use...
    The idea is that setting the native vlan on the port controls what VLAN the attached PC goes into, and the voice vlan tells the phone which VLAN it should go into.
    It doesn't have any direct relation to QoS, as the port could be configured to ignore or take action on QoS markings with or without the voice vlan command.

  • 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
