People keep suggesting that turning off Siri fixes the problem but for many people this isn't working. I turned off Siri a month ago and now I have the exact same problem with voice control
Activating randomly... like whenever I move my phone with headphones in. My podcasts also speed up and slow down or stop playing randomly.... this only happens when I listen to podcasts which ***** because I listen to them every day on my walks.... I've tried 3 different pairs of headphones so the only thing I can think of now is maybe the wires are loose in all 3? This is getting ridiculous... i also can't believe that someone from Apple hasn't chimed in yet with a solution as I believe this thread started in 2013.
This problem is a reoccurring and complete pain in the a -- for me. I use my phone as my work line, and voice control activates seemingly for no reason, cutting my phone connection off. Then the iPod begins to furiously play for no apparent reason. Worse yet it comes and goes. Things calm down and I figure it's been taken care of by powering down or an update, but out of nowhere it activates again. It could be just sitting on a table and there it goes again! I want to just get rid of the feature, I never use it.
I am having the same problem. I can be at the gym or running, and the voice control will just pop up. Not only that, it causes my music to speed up or change songs in the middle of one song. I came on the web site hoping to find out how to turn this off.
try going into settings:general:Accessibility:Triple-click Home and be sure it is off,
it will at least eliminate that as a cause.
Did you ever get an answer? It happened to me while out on a run and it was very frustrating. It never happens with my iPod. Given an option I would rather run with my iPhone.
Ok, this is ridiculous now! Just received my 4s. Plug in my ear buds for to work out and the phone goes crazy! It is so aggrevating! Not sure is Siri is responsible but.... Never happened with my 3Gs.
Come on Apple! Fix it!!!!!!!!
Yep. My iphone 3gs , iphone 4 , and of course, now iPhone 4s, Siri pops up every time I workout. This is ridiculous . Apple come on !! I'm my other devices the solution I found was to jailbreak my iphone and thanks to the jailbreak community there was a "tweak" to disable voice control. I wasn't planning to JB my iPhone 4s now I'm going do it if you guys dont find a solution !
Hi guys,
As a temporary fix, I've found success by buying and using an arm strap to hold my iPhone whilst running. I think the problem is something to do with the quick vibration of the headphone jack - strapping it to my arm reduced the amount of vibration and bounce-impact of the phone. Hope this helps.
I have similar Issue and it is annoying.I went to apple store and Genius frm genius bar suggests me to replace th ephone by paying 149 dollars.
I think Apple intentinally created these type of bugs and pushing them to th ephone which are not under warranty, SO that People can Buy new i phones and APPLE can increase their revenue.
Make sure siri is turned on and voice control will not operate when iPhone is locked.
I have the exact same issue. It started for me a month ago. iphone3gs. I'm almost at the point of dropping the iphone for an android.
You can set voice control for dialling ("voice dial") to off; but you cannot set voice control for music to off.
Settings/General/PasscodeLock/voice dial.
My Iphone 4 32GB started having this issue when I downloaded the 2 last 6.1.X... VOICE CONTROL pops-up even when I sleep and calls random people just by the sound of the snoring... in FACETIME even more annoying.
I confirm that it does this day and night and even when it phone is locked..
The guys at ISTUDIO confirmed it was a software problem, they even re-installed the iOS for me...
Is there any department in APPLE that can resolve this really important issue?
Thank you
Voice Control Keeps on Activating
