Siri/Voice Control Constantly Activating By Itself?
So the other day, my iphone 7 started fast forwarding my music (in spotify) on its own and wouldn't stop until I unplugged the headphones. Now, every time i plug in headphones, siri started activating. Since turning off siri, now voice control pops up constantly without pressing any buttons. I see no way to actually disable voice control, only to turn off pressing the home button to get to it - which i have already done.
This happened with a pair of skullcandy earbuds that did NOT have any control/button on it, and persisted with another pair that does. It is popping up more and more constantly as I use them to try to listen to my music and is very frustrating.
I have looked all over and seen tons of people have had this problem, but none of the solutions have worked for me - and it seems the causes aren't even the same. Most people narrowed the problem down to the control/button attached to most earbuds that you can adjust volume/change songs/etc with, and this started with a pair that did not even have that! I have blown for dust in the port and the adapter, I have tried multiple pairs of earbuds, I have gone to a Verizon store, I have disabled the function that makes voice control appear when you hold down the home button, and none of these solutions have done a thing. Please, please help. It is quickly getting out of hand.
