Phone Freakout! Virus?

[tcav26]

I wasn't quite sure where to go posting/asking about this, so I figured I'd start here.

Before I begin, I tried doing some searches to see if anyone has had a similar problem, but I wasn't turning up with anything.

So basically what happened was my iPhone started freaking out. I was listening to music, and all of sudden voice control popped up, when I didn't use the gesture to open it. Then the music paused, came back on, skipped to another song, and then at one point it the song started fast-forwarding. And it kind of kept repeating this, voice control would pop up, then songs pause, etc. Meanwhile while this was all happening, I started freaking out a little, turned SSH off, then all my data, and then put it in airplane mode (I was thinking someone was hacking me... heh) But even despite doing all this, my phone was still freaking out. So I turned it off, then back on, and it was still doing it. Eventually I just pulled the headphones out, and stopped listening and then my phone stopped freaking out. And then for the rest of the day it was fine, and I just tried testing and playing music, and it hasn't started freaking out.

So I wasn't sure if it was just iOS freaking out, or a virus, or something to do because I jailbroke my phone? I hadn't really changed or modified anything on phone in the past week... Wasn't sure if I should restore just to be safe or not. If anyone has any feedback I'd appreciate it!

I'm betting it was just a bug in Activator or something.

If it persists, I'd start with a restore of the phone's software, but you may also have hardware issues (voice control is usually controlled by the home button unless you assign it elsewhere--so your button may be sticky or phantom pressing itself).

Or if it only has happened with headphones in maybe your headphone or headphone jack has a short or something. It's either that or the phone is possessed.

Haha, thanks guys! I appreciate it. I'm going to keep using it to see if it happens again, and if it does then I'm just going to restore! Glad it didn't seem like something more serious!
