How can i use Siri without Internet connectivity?

Siri doesn't work without Internet.
I was in a situation yesterday, when i was driving and have to call my Dad.
Due to the bad weather, data services were down and when i used Siri to call my Dad's number, its just said "Siri not available, please connect to Internet"
I can understand, that for Weather details, Web search etc, Internet is required, but at least Siri should handle in-phone features like "calling, Texting etc", without Internet connectivity.

Even though it seems like Siri should be able to handle things such as dialing a number or dictating a text, an internet connection is required for Siri to function. There is currently not a way to get Siri to do otherwise.

  • Can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and Airport express for printer

    How / can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and use an airport express to set up wifi for printer and Apple TV?
    Macbook Pro. OS X 10.9.4

    I've never tried it, so I don't know what the results will be.
    However, you can move Ethernet to the top of the Services list in Network System Prefs which will cause it to be the Internet source. There is a command in the gear menu to set the Service order.  However, after thinking about it, if there isn't an internet connection via Wi-Fi, it might automatically drop down to the Ethernet connection.
    Then, you can set up your Wi-Fi so that it doesn't connect to the Internet, as Linc stated. How to do that would be dependent on the Router.

  • Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection?

    I am using an ipad mini 2, second generation. I plugged it in to itunes and there was an update avaible for ios 8. Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection? Thank you

    iTunes needs an internet connection to download the update if it has not already. Then it needs to verify the update with Apple servers prior to installation.
    So in short, no, you do need at least some form of internet access to update.

  • How can i use my pc internet on my iphone 4 (ios7) via usb?

    hallo everyone,
    i want get internet from pc on iphone. how can i use my pc internet on my iphone 4 (ios7) via usb? (not iphone internet on pc). help me please

    That is actually pretty easy.
    Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.
    Right mouse click on the Bluetooth system tray icon and select "Add new connection"
    Select your phone ..
    Enter a pincode e.g. 0000
    Enter the same pincode on the phone side as well.
    Click in the "Advanced Modem settings window the "Advanced Modem Settings" button. There should be a string which was auto detected.
    Just confirm the windows until the setup is finished. Open the IE confirm select the just configured DUN connection and browse the internet.
    You need to enter the Advanced modem string manually if it could not be detected. In this case you have to check your ISP website in order to
    find the suitable GPRS or HSDPA string, phone number, username and password for a proper setup. If you enter the wrong data you will encounter
    a connection failed error message.

  • How can i use RemoteObject without mxml?

      hi:
       in my flex project , i use blazeds + puremvc , so i want to put my business code in actionscript as proxy to communicate with java code, the proxy code like :
    public function requestServer(page:PageInfo):void{
       userServiceRM = new RemoteObject();
       userServiceRM.destination="userService";
       userServiceRM.getsimpleList();
       var pageResult :Object= userServiceRM.getsimpleList.lastResult;
       sendNotification(UserStartupCommond.USERLIST_GOT,pageResult );
    but i have a problem that pageResult is a  null value .(the Configuring and the server side have no problem .)
    how can i use RemoteObject without mxml?
     thanks.

    Hi. Remote object calls are asynchronous so you can't access the result immediately after making the call. You need to wait until the server returns the result. There are a couple ways to set this up. Probably the easiest thing to do is to add an event listener that will be called when the result comes back from the server. Here is what that would look like.
    public function requestServer(page:PageInfo):void {
    userServiceRM = new RemoteObject();
    userServiceRM.destination="userService";
    userServiceRM.addEventListener("result", resultHandler);
    userServiceRM.addEventListener("fault", faultHandler);
    userServiceRM.getsimpleList();
    public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent) {
    var pageResult :Object= userServiceRM.getsimpleList.lastResult;
    sendNotification(UserStartupCommond.USERLIST_GOT,pageResult);
    public function faultHandler(event:FaultEvent) {
    //handle remote object fault
    Look at the RPC Components section of the BlazeDS Developers guide for more information about using the RPC components. Hope that helps.

  • How can I use File DSN to connect to database?

    Hi,
    I am using ODBC-jdbc driver to connect to the database. It seems that the DSN name is required. How can I use a file DSN instead of system DSN to connect to database? Please help?

    oracle provided jdbc drivers (thin and oci) do not use odbc.
    why would you want to slow things down by sending "round trip" data transfers thru a "jdbc to odbc" and thru "odbc to jdbc" conversion routines.
    It isn't necessary with the oracle provided drivers !!

  • On iOS 6.0 how can I Airplay to AppleTV using router without internet connection.

    Hello,
    I do a lot of presentations. I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0. In the past on iOS 5 I used an iPad, AppleTV, router, and projector for presentations. Now when I connect the iOS iPad to the router it requires the router to be connected to the internet so the iPad can connect. Iam often presenting at places that do not have internet so this is an issue. Is there anyway around this? I have done some testing and it appears that the iPad has to authennticate to Apple everytime it wants to connect to the internet.

    You cannot use your iPhone as a router without being connected to data.
    That is essentially what I said above. When streaming local content you won't incur any data but you can't use the feature while in airplane mode.
    However; you can use an airport express (2nd generation) as a router without being conected to the internet.
    Yes, An Airport Express is a router, which is what I recommended initially as it is a much better solution, glad it's all worked out.

    I gona get a iphone 4s and im wondering if it works without a sim card i have a wifi hotspot

    Yet the phone (and WiFI) won't work at all without first activating it with a SIM card and cell service.  You can't use an iPhone as a iPod Touch if it's never been activated as a phone first.  Read the OP's question.
