Yes, you already said that. Why is a different voice bad?

i"m from Mauritius also having the same problem when calling someone using siri.
i think its because, of the 8 digits number.

Problem with Siri since OS 8.2 update

Since update 8.2 I have problems with Siri dictating on the microphone. I can say a maximum of 5-10 words before it cuts out. Using siri on an older OS version on my iPad I don't have any problems. Can anybody help?

Hello Brenden
thank you for your reply. as mentioned it's a problem since the last update and workes on my other Apple devices. I have been using Siri since it first came out.
Anybody else else have the same problem who found a solution?

Do you have an active data connection (wifi or cellular)? Have you tried resetting the phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the apple appears (this is different than just turning it off and back on).

Still problems with Siri

I posted about problems with Siri last night. Someone deleted my post, not me. I am still having trouble with Siri today, 4 days now.

Not sure what's going on with your post; I saw it last night and responded.
Apparently Siri has gone on strike, i.e., there is an outage. Some have reported it going on off/on for over two weeks. Here's one thread about it:

I have a problem with Siri. Often when I say "call [name of person in contacts] ... home" Siri says there is no home number for [name of person]. But there is!

I have a problem with Siri. Although my contacts are entered correctly including naming the contact's home phione number as "Home", Siri will often tell me there is no home number for that person. She then gives me a choice of using the contact's home or mobile number (whicgh appear correct on the screen) and when I choose "Home" Siri again tells me there is no home number for that name. Any ideas? Am I entering the contact incorrectly?

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

Seriously, what's the problem with Siri since the iOS 7 upgrade?

I don't know if it's just the fault of iOS 7 or not because I only have one Siri capable device and so I can't compare. But since upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, Siri has definitely gotten much much slower, and sometimes ends up with the "Sorry I can't take your request now" response, which I never saw in iOS 6.
I've heard other people complain too.
Is it an iOS 7 problem? Has Apple changed Siri since releasing iOS 7?
With all their money, why can't they add enough servers to handle the load?
I'm on high-speed wifi almost all the time, and the pauses, delays and non-responsiveness has gotten seriously annoying. I used to miss Siri when I went from my iPhone 5 to my iPad 2, and was thinking of upgrading to the next iPad because of Siri (for one thing). But as of late I would classify Siri as more annoying than useful.
Are other people also having problems with Siri?
Thanks,
doug

I assume you are joking. Like why after a year would I suddenly start holding my iPhone 5 differently immediately after the iOS 7 upgrade?
Anyway, a quick Google search shows I'm not alone:
http://tidbits.com/article/14154
"Siri, Are You There? -- Less firm are the problems I’ve experienced with Siri in iOS 7. At times, Apple’s servers are clearly having trouble, since I’ll get a message back from Siri telling me to try again later. And other times, I’ll say something to Siri and just get no response back at all — or at least no response in the amount of time I’m willing to wait before I perform the action manually. All this started when I began using preview builds of iOS 7 — under iOS 6, I’d become quite fond of Siri."

Haveing problems with siri not understanding me

having trouble with siri not understanding me. could there be a glitch?

I just have a problem that when I ask Siri to schedule an appointment it directs me with a internet search with the words I just said. So it understnads my words but seems to think I want to search for them rather than schedule the appointment or play the music. I try Siri every couple of weeks and the response is so bad its worthless.

HT204389 Having problems with Siri on iPone 5

Morning all. I'm having trouble with Siri. Yesterday she simply stopped understanding me. Everything i say to her she just replies with "Sorry, Nath, Something's gone wrong. Can you try that again?" With every request. Full reception both on 3G and Wifi.

I was having exactly the same problem for two days after I upgraded to an iPhone five. None of the things suggested here helped.
Turning Siri off and on again in Settings fixed it.
(I had tried resetting my phone and the network settings but that did not fix it.)

My Biggest Problem with Siri - Voice Dialing

My biggest complaint with Siri is that voice dialing requires an Internet connection. If I want to initiate a voice call to someone in my contact list why does Siri waste the time and bandwidth to access my contacts on my iPhone via the Internet? This makes no sense and is much slower than was the case with normal voice control.
My suggestion would be that when you say "call" Joe Smith Siri will first look in your contact list. Why would you have it any other way?
Am I missing something here or was this overlooked?

Siri also can't find contacts with non-typical but still common and phonetically simple spellings - Rebekah or Coffman. The regular voice commands don't have this problem. To Apple apologists who suggest that I go through my 800+ contacts and enter phonetic assistance, hey, get a life. I need stuff that just works, which is supposed to be the the Apple hallmark. My very first Palm Treo smartphone had more accurate voice dialing, and that has been true on all the Palm and Blackberry phones I had before getting a 4s.
There is a solution. Turn Siri off permanently. The non-SIRI voice dialing works better (though still not as good as my old phones). Then go to the app store and install Dragon Dictation and Dragon Go. Both are free as of this writing. Dragon Dictation is faster, easier to use, and more accurate than Siri. Dragon Go is slightly clunkier to use than Siri, but the results are equally good. Neither has the frequent Siri "not available" problem. You will have to live without the smarmy comebacks, though.

Siri is not responding on my newly purchase iPhone 4s. It had been working prior till tonight. Is anyone else experiencing a problem with Siri?

Siri is not responding on my newly purchased iPhone 4s. Up until this evening, it had been working. Is anyone else experiencing a problem using Siri now?

I have been having problems with her too. I had to have my phone reset at the genius bar, and now Siri is totally unresponsive most of the time and unable to answer basic questions at best. She won't even dial a number that's programmed into my contacts. Just sits there quietly, her brain spinning around and around. Or she'll tell me she doesn't know who that party is. Would I like her to do a web search? For my husband? Sure, Siri. I used to love her, but now with my restage, she's basically worthless.
Incidentally, the reset was two weeks ago. She's only been her old, helpful, sarcastic self like three times since then.

Problems with Siri and Contacts (outside the US)

I have 3 major software problems (bugs) and i would like to report them in hopes that Apple would release a quick and prompt fix for these problems.
I think i speak for many when i say ever since the IOS 5 release users have noticed a major issues/problem with the format of their contacts and area/country codes.
Problem # 1.
I live in Kuwait, and all my contact details have a country code (GSM) prefix +965 followed by 8 numbers. With the last IOS 5 release whether you add or remove the prefix the contact's name is not displayed on the caller ID. I tried to save the contact as it shows on my Caller ID but the problem presisted. I even tried switching international assist on and off and that didn't work either. There's a huge forum for Apple customers outside the US facing problems with their contacts and caller ID ever since IOS 5 was lanuched.
Problem #2.
I have bought my Iphone 4S just few days ago, excited about Siri like many, i asked Siri to call George from my contacts, and Siri replies i'm sorry i can't call george, i tried all my contacts and all attempts failed, i tried adding the country prefix, and removing it and still Siri can't make calls from my own phone book (contacts). I do realize that Siri is in Beta, however, Siri did dial a US number perfectly from Kuwait, which tells me the problem is again related to where you are, and what country code format are you trying to call.
Problem # 3.
When setting up Imessage, Kuwait is not listed in the countries of choice, not sure why but it would good if all the countries are listed.

Then report them to Apple here. This is a user to user support forum.

Problems With Siri Eyes Free Mode Usage In Cars

I have had the Siri Eyes Free Mode installed in my car since it first became available and am unable to use it because of the inability to enter my passcode by voice command to wake the My iPhone 5S from it's "sleep mode" while I am driving. This would necesstate taking my eyes off the road and hands off the steering wheel to enter the passcode manually or by Touch ID so that I can use the features of the Siri Eyes Free Mode.
This would cause a driving distraction for a potential auto accident and appear to defeat the purposes of having the Siri Eyes Free Mode in cars in the first place.
One (and unacceptable) option is to delete the security passcode and Touch ID capability everytime I use the iPhone in my car and reinstall them everytime I leave my car. This defeats the purpose of having the security features in the first place.
The promotional material which came from Apple with the Siri Eyes Free Mode software suggests placing the iPhone in either the glove compartment and console since Siri Eyes Free will function by voice commands through the car audio system. Obviously this can't be done if the phone is locked in the "sleep mode," since there is no hands-off way to wake it.
The other (and equally unacceptable) option would be to disable the "sleep mode" which would cause the phone to be "on" at all times which would cause a very severe battery drain.
Apple is introducting it's new "Apple Play" software for some new cars this year and this same problem will apply in waking the iPhone from the "sleep mode" while driving.
Does anyone know how to communicate this problem to Apple's software designers so that they can develop a logical "fix" in a future update to iOS 8?
The usual methods of submitting feedback by email to "Apple Cares" or Apple's Technical Support by phone have been ineffective.

My iPhone5S goes into the "sleep mode" after 2 minutes regardless of whether it is connected to power or running on battery. It requires a passcode or Touch ID to wake it, something which is impractical while driving using Siri Eyes Free.
The phone use capabilitiy is available through the car audio regardless, but none of the other features of Siri Eyes Free can be used until the phone is unlocked from the "sleep mode."
Some Siri Eyes Free Mode voice command functions & features include sending & reading text messages & emails; setting up calendar entries, reminders & alarms; checking the weather; posting to social media sites; finding nearby restaurants and points of interest; turn-by-turn iPhone directions via the car's Bluetooth audio; receiving sports scores & stock quotes & more.
The Siri Eyes Free Mode is extra cost automobile software presently available from the dealer for some Honda and GM cars, which allows many of the iPhone functions to be utilized through the car's Bluetooth audio system for voice recognition and response by using the HandsFree microphone button on the steering wheel.

Problem with Siri and texting.

Hi All,
So I am trying to access my iPhone 5 with it tucked away in my pocket and using a bluetooth headset to communicate to Siri and do stuff on my phone. My issue is that once the phone locks (unfortunately, that's MANDATED by my company policy) - then Siri is handicapped. Can't read email any more, for example.
I don't have easy access to the phone, as when I'm doing this, I'm on a motorcycle and the phone is inaccessible...
This is a big problem for me!
I know that I can delete my company email entry and that would eliminate the lock requirement, and I know that I can jailbreak and eliminate the lock requirement (but I'm on iOS 8).
Is there any other thing that I'm not thinking of? I'd really like to be able to use Siri even after the phone is locked and requires a key code...
- Thanx in advance!
