After ios 6 upgrade, siri stopped sending texts

iPhone 4s,  siri's voice recognition sucked under ios4-5,  but since upgrade to 6.x,  it is even worse.  It will read my texts to me but will NOT send a dictated text.  Not with or w/o using earbud mic to improve voice recog., nothing works!!   This is the MOST frustrating thing.  Now I discover that even tho siri is over 2 years old it's STILL in beta????  ***!!!!
It used to read, respond, (not very correctly but close enough for apple app work!) to dictated texts, and sent them when I told it to.   NOW, it NEVER DOES!!!!!     I have to manually open message and retry to send the text.  which THEN goes thru.    WAY TO KEEP US SAFE ON THE ROAD APPLE!!!!!
How do I get siri to go back to reliably sending texts that I dictate?   This is the question I need answered!
To continue with my rant over my frustrating experience with iPhone & IOS,..    for all intents and purposes,  siri is a useless app as it will not do anything reliably!  after reading here,  you have to use it in a silent monastary like setting,  So,..  don't use it outside, don't use in car, in wind, in house, with low signal,...   only use it in tightly controled  labratory setting!!!
You have to "speak clearly?"  to get it trained to understand you  and apparantly siri rode the "itty bitty" bus to school, cuz after 2 years of training,  she still spouts gibberish.  What she hears and types sometimes doesn't even sound remotely close to what I said, sometimes even getting the vowels and consonants totally WRONG!  Again,  ***!!! 
....someone PLEASE help fix this texting issue and I might change my mind about switching to Galaxy.

Oh!  and without going into my 7 hour frustrating upgrade to iPhone 5 debaucle yesterday,...
Siri STILL won't send a dictated text with a voice command!!!!     W    T    F??????

  • IPhone 4 just stop sending texts

    My iphone just stopped send texts but I can still receive them. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? 

    Follow the steps in the article below:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    If after all steps the issue remains I'd suggest to contact AppleCare for assistance or book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store if you would like the phone evaluated.
    Hope this helps

  • My phone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says it sends, but nothing arrives. Any tips?

    My 3G iPhone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says its sent but it does not arrive. Any ideas?

    Are you seeing this problem when sending a SMS, MMS or iMessage? Does it go away if you disable MMS or iMessage in Settings > Messages?
    Make sure the phone number that you aren't able to send texts to has an area code.
    If that doesn't help, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

  • Is it possible to use Siri to send text messages to groups? I want to be able to say to Siri "Send a text message to the people in 'group 4' category." I then dictate the text message, confirm, and out it goes. Groups of 100 to 250 contacts.

    Thanks for your quick response. I've tried everything you suggested and get only temporary fixes. Sometimes for a day or two, sometimes only until I use Safari for the first time. It's annoying and probably effects battery life between charges.
    You would think that it must have some effect on the battery, but oddly enough, the update to iOS 8 actually helped my battery life, in spite of all of these hinky little issues that are taking place. In my experience, the activity icon is not affecting the battery in a negative way.
    Another issue with IOS 8.1 that you may have seen is the loss of icon pictures on home pages. Again it seems to be Safari related, since app icons found in the App Store are not affected, only web based icons you personally put on home pages. I get what I call a test screen similar to what you used to get on old tv sets on every one of my personal icons.
    I know exactly what you mean. I got that as well. On a few of them, when I opened the websites using the generic test screen icons and then closed them, they changed back to the way that they should look. For the ones that did not change, I recreated the home screen shortcuts and deleted the generic looking ones - the test screen icons.
    And don't get me started on iBooks.
    For the very limited use that I make of the iBooks app, i haven't noticed any problems, but I rarely use the app. I don't read books on the iPad other than a few user guides and if they are pdf guides, they reside in more reliable and feature rich pdf apps on my iOS device.
    I wish that I had the fix for the spinning activity icon, but everything that I try, is temporary at best. IMO, this is the buggiest iOS update that I have seen, and I have been using iOS devices since iOS 3 on my first iPad. I realize that there are plenty of people that are not experiencing issues, but I have seen a number of weird things that I wish I could fix. None of my problems are major, but they are annoying.

  • No valid license found after IOS upgrade on C3750x switch

    HI,
    Two switches below are working fine as a stack with IOS c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE5.bin & ipbase license.
    Switch#1 (Master, WS-C3750X-24P-S)
    Switch#2 (Member, WS-C3750X-24P-S)
    After IOS Upgrade to c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE7.bin, The stack was broken. Switch#2 didn’t recognise valid ipbase license with new IOS and came up with lanbase license instead. Therefore stack cannot be composed due to license mismatch between Switch#1 (ipbase) and switch#2(lanbase).
    I’m wondering why Switch#2 didn’t recognise ipbase license with new IOS even though IPASE is running well with previous IOS.
    Here is excerpt from “show version” with 15.x image on Switch#2.
    License Level: lanbase
    License Type: Default. No valid license found.
    Next reload license Level: lanbase
    Here is excerpt from “show version” with 12.x image on Switch Stack.
    License Level: ipbase
    License Type: Permanent
    Next reload license Level: ipbase
    Thanks
    Jeong

    Thanks guys,
    I have fixed the issue by configuring  'license boot level ipbase' on the member switch#2. The switch recognised IPBASE license well and joined the stack successfully.

  • Problems using Siri to send text message

    hi im having problems using Siri to send text messages on my iPhone 5.
    When i try to send a message using Siri to somebody who does not own a iPhone Siri defaults the message to a iMessage instead of a standard text message, which then causes a message failure because the other person does not have a iPhone.
    I have the setting turn on in the Messages setting to send as Text Message when iMessage is not avaliable but Siri still defaults the message to a iMessage and does not send it as a standard text message and results in a message failure.
    am i doing something wrong or am i missing something?

    Siri won't try to send an iMessage to a person who doesn't have a device with iMessage enabled.
    If you open Messages, and select the same person with the keypad it should default to Text and not iMessage.   That's exactly what will happen when Siri tries to send the message.
    I just tried this on my phone to someone who doesn't have an iPhone and it worked exactly that way. 

  • Photos not going to pc photo stream after ios upgrade

    After spending 2.5 hours with Apple phone representative on 10-31-13, I still do not have an answer as to why once I completed the upgrade to ios 7, my photo stream on my pc no longer contains any photos taken after the upgrade.  I had to send Apple  logs and their engineers are supposed to call me back.
    I am getting this weird "desktop icon" in place of photos.    I had been using i cloud for 18 months prior to upgrade and all had been working fine.  They had me reset phone, computer restrted 10 times and  upgrade i cloud, reset all settings for photostream and ios settings...still no photos uploaded to my pc.
    Very frustrated and just wondering if anyone else is having similar issues.
    Thanks.

  • Can't sync iPad after iOS upgrade to7.0.2 - repeated authorisation prompt - using admin profile, file SC info does not exist

    Hello,
    After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
    1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
    2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
    3) Deactivating the firewall;
    4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
    5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
    6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
    7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
    I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
    I cannot sync anything at all.
    BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
    It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
    Thanks.
    D.

    No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail.  For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud.  I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work.  When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed.  If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers.  hmmm.  I hope they get this bug fixed some.  would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go.   Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating.  I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.

  • POE 3560 Issue after IOS upgrade

    Hello,
    I having issue where 6 WLAN AP's not coming back uo after reboot and IOS upgrade of 3560 POE swtiches - . Prior to changes here most if not all ALL the 23 Aps were mainly on one switch, Now after these changes they are now spread over three switches ( 3560's) - with 17 coming back on line
    I am sure its not the power limitation of the switch(s) as the one switch I am TS at present had a fairly large allocation of the aps attached prior to ios upgrade and reload. and the available power value now showing is applicable.for 8 AP's
    I have tried various TS steps to try and bring them back up - A couple of things I would like to try but I am restricted to do so is to check the APS physically or downgrade the ios!
    Any input on this matter would be truly appreciated.- (attached is the log buffer debug)

    You upgraded the IOS to the switch?  I shudder at the thought of what old version did you upgrade FROM.  
    Available:370.0(w) Used:110.4(w) Remaining:259.6(w)
    You've got more than enough PoE left. 
    Only two things comes to my mind:  
    1.   Cable issue - Unfortunately, the 3560 is a non-GigabitEthernet and this particular sub-model does NOT support TDR.
    2.  Hardware failure - Read THIS.

  • IPad 2 Does not retain names and passwords after iOS-upgrade  to 8.0.2

    After the last series of iOS upgrades (device current status is 8.0.2 , latest available) the iPad2-16G WIFI version, does not retain any names and passwords anymore. Function (Safari) is enabled.
    Re-booting, clearing memory etc did not solve anything).
    Is this a known version 8.0 bug or .......?
