Take it going by these comments there's no way of disabling it?

Just sent my phone off for repair, went 2 weeks without it, paid £50 excess and it's still doing it!

It's got the stage where i have to keep it on flight mode at night cause it makes about 3 - 4 phone calls!

Some times I can't even send a text as it keeps interrupting... Gonna have to bin the phone and get a cheap reliable one if this keeps happening...

Any help?

For iPhone 4, there is no way. Best to use no case, or one that does not put something over the home button that is likely to press it in when you have the phone in your pocket. Maybe ios7 will let us control some of this more basic stuff.

Ok - people there is a difference between voice OVER and voice CONTROL. The latter is the topic of discussion. Turning off voice OVER does not affect voice CONTROL.

The posts that talk about enabling Siri, setting your pass code, then disabling Siri when locked worked for me. My problem was that VC would activate when the iPod touch was sleeping and the home button would be held. Now all that happens is it asks for my passcode.

It won't fix everyone, but that workaround should do for now.

lame.

Wahhhhhh

I have an iPhone 4, and my home button is sort of broken.

The button is not working at all, but sometimes the iPhone starts randomly the voice control. It seems the home bottom is stuck between not working an always pressed.

So even unwanted calls are made by accident.

Not found a way to turn off voice control completely...silly!!!!

iPhone 4, iOS 6

I am facing same issue. apple please give us permanent solution.

I would love to use the SIRI solution but my 3Gs doesn't have a SIRI selection in Settings. I just started having this problem yesterday. It started while the ear phones were plugged in but has continued after they were removed. The phone can just be sitting on the table untouched then it decides to randomly dial someone. So far, I've been able to cancel the calls but how do I stop calls when I'm asleep? Turn the phone off? I simply cannot have a phone that dials random people at random times of the day or night. If this continues, it pretty much kills the usability of the phone and makes it highly unlikely that I would purchase an iPhone again in the future even though I loved this phone up until this problem occurred. It's unacceptable that this has been a known, severe problem for years and Apple hasn't bothered to develop a fix. I'm going to try and find a way to load SIRI on my phone just so I can attempt the SIRI fix.

That's funny. You know artificial intelligence has arrived when it can be just as stupid as the real thing.

**** you apple for your stupidity. I've been trying for several years to optout of email notifications regarding this tread which I'm not interested anymore. But you keep sending me email notifications every time someone replays to this tread. **** apple again.

How hard is it to put a 'disable voice control' button below the 'disable Siri' one. Seriously. Figure it out.

Thanks dct1700d

Worked for me

For iPhone4 that is going crazy and starting up at random times...

• Open a default iOS application, such as Stocks, Calculator, or Weather
• Press and hold down the Power button until the “Slide to Power Off” dialog appears, then release
• Now press and hold the Home button until the “Slide to Power Off” screen disappears, force quitting the application

Why this works to fix the buttons responsiveness isn’t entirely clear, because the procedure actually just force quits the application you launched in the first step. This procedure supposedly recalibrates the Home button. Whatever is going on behind the scenes, it does seem to work.

Tested and it WORKS. Weird solution, but it DOES work!

Thank goodness. No phone throught the wall.

Thanks dct1700d!! Worked for me too! Thank goodness!

You're welcome....took a long time to figure that easy little workaround out...very frustrating.
