Happened with both Nexus 4 and Sony Xperia. ² https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ak.alizandro.smartaudiobookplayer&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ak.alizandro.s... Edit: I guess depending on how powerful OK Google and Siri become it would be possible to embed instructions to download a virus into an audiobook or song.
- neotek 11y agoMy iPhone regularly reacts to words that sounds like "Hey Siri" when I'm listening to audiobooks using the in-built speaker.
- ohitsdom 11y agoWow, surprising. You'd think they would have that filtered out, just like they have to when taking a call on speaker phone.
- neotek 11y agoThis is pure speculation and I'm nowhere near qualified to speak with any accuracy, but perhaps it's the case that the processing requirements would reduce battery life too quickly. Although, having said that, "Hey Siri" only works when the phone is plugged into a power source, unless you use a jailbreak tweak to turn it on all the time.

- ohitsdom 11y agoHa, that's great! Shocking whoever came up with that ad idea didn't consider the possibility.
