Voice control problem over bluetooth

Have the very same issue using iPhone 7 on iOS 11.0.2. The Bluetooth radio in my car used to work perfectly but now the calling button invokes the Voice Control screen, and it never starts “listening” and shuts down.

It’s a major issue :/

First tier Apple support escalated my case to a Sr Engineer on 10/5/17. There "might" be a problem with iOS. Replicated the problem, captured diagnostic logs, and sent to Apple for analysis. Will provide an update next week once results are available.

I Think all the engeneers have wi-fi on-the-go, allways using siri, and don’t give a f.... for those who use voice control. Now I cannot use my phone for his MAIN purpose. Can I come back with a good lawyer if this disfunction causes a car accident? Or should I throw my phone on the highway and (definitivly) go on with Samsung?

"Sorry but telling Bluetooth manufacturers to get their devices to work with iOS 11 is no different than telling the thousands upon thousands of developers to make sure their app is compatible with the iPhone X."

Sorry; and that explains the multiples of Bluetooth headsets that worked on a 6 & 6+, running iOS 11.0, 11.1, and all the subsequent betas how exactly?

Thanks for your info, anypats.

Maybe I've not searched deeply enought on so many forums where this issue is discussed. It´s the first time that I know about someone not having problems with Voice Control over Bluetooth after iOS 11.

Just to be clear. Can you confirm please:

1. You don't have problems on yous Honda Bluetooth connection using Voice Control?
2. It's really Voice Control that you have tested or use and not Siri?
3. I'ts your phone an iPhone with the iOS 11.0 or later updated?
4. Jaillbreaked?
5. Can you voice dialling with Voice Control over your Honda's Bluetooth with th command "Call [contact_name]"?
6. Can you make Voice Control, on or off a bluetooth connection, to play musics from tour music library when use commands like: "play [artist_name]", "play album [album_name]" or "play music [music_name]"?

Best

The manual says voice control but to be honest I’m not 100% sure. There are no problems connecting via Bluetooth or dock connector. I can answer calls, place calls using voice, I can play music, skip tracks, etc. I went from 10.3.3 to 11.0, 11.0.1, 11.0.2, 11.0.3 and today I installed 11.1. Never jailbroken.

Thanks for checking that!

As you can see, is not a question of firmware updates, but iOS bad developed.

The worst of all, is Apple’s engineers seems that they’re not caring about this issue as they should. At least someone from Apple assumes the error of development and giving us a probable date to fix this broken hands-free feature from our iPhones.

Good news, the engineers at Apple know the difference between Voice Control and Siri 😉

And to reiterate, Siri is only as good as your cellular or internet connection. THAT'S why classic Voice Control is important. As of today, I haven't heard back from anyone at Apple re: the sysdiagnose files I uploaded through their bug reporting site. I just downloaded 11.2 b1 and will report soon if anythings changed. Likewise, any beta testers out there experiencing the same issues?

Sorry, hsompson; busy on other forums & didn't see your post until now. Yes, it's still there. Haven't heard a peep from Apple's engineers since I uploaded their requested information. If I didn't know better, I'd say this is a back-handed attempt to get rid of Classic Voice Control in favor of Siri.😕

Same problema.

iPhone 5s UNDESIRELY updated to IOS 11.0.3. Voice control engage correctly without bt device, but it DOESN'T WOTK with ANY bt device: headphones, car,...

On the other hand, IOS 11 is a big problem fon an iPhone 5s. I didn't like to instal it. Everytime the opereating system asked me to proceed to instal this ugly update, I rejected. I guess that one of the insistent emergent Windows asked me, I probably pressed by mistake "yes". Since then, everything are problems. I tried to stop the instalation. Impossible. Then I tried immediately to restore my previous backup. Impossible too, the way back to 10.0.3 is forbidden because it is no longer signed by Apple. The iPhone is now slow, all my old 32bits apps, many of them necessary for my work wich are not updated to 64 bits, doesn't work. The keyboard gooes sloooooow. Writting WhatsApp messages is a torture. Battery goes off in 4 hours... and now, increasing problems, this boetooth affair. Nor the car neither the headphones work.

I am evaluating to change my phone, because Apple seems to have decide that it shoud not work any longer thanks to this IOS reléase- However, sincerely, after 10 years using Apple devices, you are convincing me to move to Android.

".......One thing that I haven't seen being discussed by any of the previous posts is that in my case, my phone recognizes my voice when I use voice calls over the car's bluetooth. I know this because I can see the name of the person I have asked iphone to call on the phone's screen for a flash of a second. The name then disappears before the phone confirms the phone number I asked it to call......."

True. The same applies with headset BT Plantronics

Also to repeat that voice control works perfectly OK when no BT device is paired, which, of course, is not of much use.

same problem with BT Voice Command dialing. can received/answer calls with headset. can dial manually, then connect BT. what a royal pain. So, going to the Guinness Bar (😁) would be a waste of time. I will cancel my appointment. this is very sad indeed

Perhaps the talking point needs to be that Apple doesn't appear to be concerned with driver safety. Voice Control allows drivers to keep their attention on the road; without it, people wind up putting themselves, their passengers, and other vehicles in danger.

If people marshaled a campaign around that, perhaps Apple would listen and address this problem. It has been going on for months. Very disappointed to see all these posts of Apple Support giving people the runaround.

I received "proactive" responses, three or four - I've lost tracking, honestly, and never heard from Apple Support again. One "genius" suggested that I buy a newer version of the BT speaker. When I asked him if he meant I need to buy a new car, because the BT in one of my cars is built-in, I received a response: "LOL". Another "specialist" admitted that she had no clue and that they were instructed to tell the customers to just keep upgrading until the issue is fixed. When, is anyone's guess. What a total fk up this upgrade is. I just cannot believe that Apple SW development brass would sign off on the major iOS upgrade without properly and fully testing it.

I recently received an email from Apple about my bug submission that states that my bug is a duplicate of another bug and will be closed.

I have asked for clarification on why it is being closed but it appears that it may be due to the fact that I copied and pasted information outlining the problem from a post on this forum.

Problem is ongoing.

Thank you.
