I just picked up a new 3Gs today! I'm very excited! I have an Apple brand iPhone Bluetooth Headset that I was using with my first generation iPhone. I can't figure out how to activate voice control on my 3Gs with the Apple BT Headset. Does anyone have an answer for this? Thanks in advance
"Success! On my Apple Bluetooth Headset, I have to press the button quickly (fraction of a second) then release. I then hear the high pitch activation (or confirmation?) beep. Then I have to press the button a 2nd time for about 1 second and I hear the new crazy sound, a pause, then the Voice Control tone. Then I speak the command.
Works pretty well, though not as accurate as just speaking into the phone. I asked it to play songs by U2 and, instead, it called some person I hadn't spoken with in years and they were wondering why I was calling... Awkward."
Thanks. I actually found that copied post in it's original spot last night and gave it a try. I still had no success. I gave Apple support a call since I have the 90 days of complimentary service and they solved it for me. They had me unpair/forget the headset, power down the headset, reboot the phone, repair the headset. Now it works! I have no idea why this had to be done, but hopefully the 5 other people that actually have the Apple BT headset will see this and know what to do.
