    Default 3gs flaw with voice dialing.

    Does anyone else notice the flaw with the 3gs that will allow you to make calls even if your phone is locked. I noticed it the other night when I was playing with my voice dial, I just pressed and held the home button and the voice dial commmand came up. I said dial xxx-xxx-xxxx and sure enough it started dialing even when my phone was locked. Is there a way to disable voice dialing or anyone know a way to prevent that?

    you can disable voice dialing by enabling the passcode lock in settings.

    but seriously: who would ACCIDENTALLY hold the home button, say "dial something" and then be surprised that the iphone is dialing?

    My voice app is crap. It never does what I tell it to. It has a mind of its own heh.

    How am I doing it incorrectly?

    I use the commands that scroll across the screen when the voice app is activated.

    Maybe it only recognizes yankee's voices :P

    well, a lot of people make the mistake to over-emphasize stuff. the voice control works best if you speak like you normally would and if you make clear pauses where ones are needed.

    in my experience, the voice control works pretty well if you do it that way. doesn't work ALWAYS though, of course

    I am glad it works well for you. I however, would like something to train the app to respond to my dialect.
