  • 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.

  • Trying to get my iphone 4s to voice text. can not find siri. i have model MC676LL/A can anyone help?

    I'm trying to use voice texting on iphone 4s. The model is MC676LL/A yet i don't find siri in settings-general. can anyone help?

    As provided:
    The model number you posted is for an iPhone 4, not a 4S. Thus, if you have an iPhone 4, that's why you don't have Siri.

  • Voice dialing using Siri without pin or finger print

    I just found that on my iPhone 5 and 5S a voice call using Siri can happen without my pin or fingerprint by holding the "Home" key for a few secons. Siri will activate and ask me what do I need, and I tell it to call a bank or someone on my contact and it dials. Is this normal? And if it is normal, is there a way to change this so that it doesn't happen if I choose it? Now I know that there a way to turn off Siri but it may be that I want to use Siri at my convenience and not someone elses. I do have ios 7 (latest version). Someone please let me know the wrap on this if you know ASAP.

    Are you using the same finger as your touch id?
    Nevermind, I just did a test with a finger not set for touch id and siri came up.

  • Is there a way to turn on/off 3G for iPhone 4S with a voice command and/or without Siri?

    For example, I almost always have 3G turned off on my iPhone 4S so that I won't use any of my cellular data when not needed. However, when I'm driving, and I need to use Maps for directions, it would be nice to unlock the iPhone by voicing my PIN and using a voice command to turn on 3G and accessing Maps.
    Is there already a way to do this? I know that accessing applications via Siri will be capable when iOS 6 is released.
    Voice Control should also be set to the default voice-command option when Siri is either off or when the iPhone does not currently have access to the internet. Because Siri requires the internet, Voice Control could be used to unlock the iPhone and turn on 3G. Once 3G is turned on, Siri can take over (if Siri is turned on in Settings) to access an application, like Maps. When finished, there should be a voice command that will "turn off 3G."
    So, here's how the whole process could work:
    1) hold Home button to access Voice Control and respond with PIN to unlock the iPhone - "one, two, three, four" or "twelve, thirty-four" for PIN 1234 (I'm not sure if people would want to say, "one thousand, two-hundred, thirty-four")
    2) once unlocked, it should intuitively stay on Voice Control so the user can say "turn on 3G"
    3) if Siri is enabled, it will take over Voice Control; if Siri is disabled, Voice Control will remain active, bu you should also have the voice-command option to "turn on Siri" (now that 3G is on)
    4) a voice command to "launch Maps" - I know that this will capable with iOS 6
    5) when done, hold Home button and voice a command to "turn off 3G" via Siri
    Could this feature please be integrated into iOS 6?
    In terms of driving and accessing Maps, this would be a lot safer and a lot easier.
    Thanks!

  • My iPhone 4S microphone is not working in calls, voice memo or Siri! Please help!!!

    I have never dropped my iphone and it's not water damaged. Today all of a sudden the microphone had stopped working on my calls, voice memos and Siri. It still works on speaker phone and when I put my headphones in! I really need help I don't want to have to buy a new one I only have it 6 months!!

    This happened to me also.  iPhone 4s.  6.1.3.  Verizon.  Speakerphone stopped working during a phone call.  Speaker phone icon was lit.  Person on other side of call could listen in.  But no sound from speaker.  Music doesn't play.  Siri disappeared although she returned temporarily after I did a restore to new phone and then she went away again.  What I've tried without success.
    Verified settings
    Reset (soft and hard)
    Restore to backup
    Then full restore to new phone
    Headphone jack in/out 7 or 8 times trick
    Blow out headphone jack with compressed air
    Carefully cleaning headphone jack with a slightly less cottoned Q Tip
    Carefully examined dock port to see if there was debris
    Blowing out the dock port with compressed air
    Voodoo incantations
    Sacrificing a McDonald's chicken nugget to the Gods of hunger
    Nothing worked.  I've googled the problem and I see that there is a division in the tech nerds between hardware (speaker or dock problem) vs software (Apple screwed up one of the updates).  I'm suspecting a dock problem.  Phone out of warranty.  It's not a brick but it is certainly not as functional as it once was.  Any ideas?  dock? software? magic?  thx.

  • Can I send a voice text that actually speaks to the person who receives it?

    Can Siri send a voice text that actually delivers the text in my voice??

    That may or may not work with a Previously registered Mac. Worth a try but in the end the OP may have to contact Apple directly by phone.

  • How to voice text

    I have turned on the auto voice text, how do I use it, should a mircophone appear on keyboard or something?

    There is no "auto voice text". You won't see the microphone, or be able to use Siri to create and send text messages by voice until you buy an iPhone 4S or higher.
    Tha's not a feature of the iPhone 3G.

  • Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

    Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

  • How can I get an Extension's toolbar icon to display image without text (without universally affecting other icons)? How can I edit the icons text (save space)?

    "From the Show dropdown menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars: icons, text, or icons and text together. By default, Firefox shows icons only." Is there a way to choose an individual setting for a specific toolbar icon to be icon only (no text) without universally affecting all other icons on the toolbars?
    Second, is there a way to edit the text on a specific toolbar button from an extension (because it occupies too much horizontal space on the toolbar due to the amount of text)? I do know how to locate the xpi file & open it with notepad, but then it's mainly code (not English) & FIND doesn't locate the button's text (to edit it).
    These 2 questions should apply to Extension buttons in general. However IF it makes any difference I'm referring to the Toolbar Button in Back To Top 7.0 which says "Go to top/bottom". I'd at least like to edit out "Go to", but my questions apply to other Extension buttons too. I do realize it may be necessary to redo any fix/change each time there is an update? THANK YOU.

  • 6500 Classic, using Voice Dialing without headset

    I just got a 6500 Classic, which I love so far, and the voice recognition feature seems to work well for me. However, I am only able to dial by voice from my headset. How do I initiate voice dialing without the headset? I've tried to see if I can set up one of my soft keys so that I press it and it knows that I want to say a command but I can't find that shortcut option.
    How do I get the phone to listen for my voice command without the use of a headset?

    And yes, you have to press the right soft button for 2 seconds every time you want to do a voice command - but that only makes sense on a candybar form factor...other wise it would be constantly waiting for a voice command it recognizes and would kill the battery in no time!

  • Rotating text without embedding fonts - how?

    No doubt same or similar question was asked and most likely answered but I could not
    find anything that would match...
    I want to draw column headers of my ADG vertically. So, I need rotate column text 90 degree
    and adjust position.
    Is it true that it can be achieved with embedded font only? If it is true how can it be done for
    Unicode code, which includes ranges for Japanese, Chinese, etc characters. The size of
    swf is going to be huge. Several sites like this
    http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
    claims that they have a solution for the problem without embedding fonts.
    Note: I am still using Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. By the way, do TLF libraries work with
    3.3 SDK.?
    Thanks in advance

    Draw your text onto a bitmap image (or take an ImageSnapshot of a Label), then rotate the image.
