HT204389 Siri only works about 25% of the time after iOS7 upgrade on my iPhone 5. Is it really still "the servers"?

"I am really sorry, I am not avail right now..."
I understood this error after launch due to the servers being down, but I continue to have this issue when attempting to use Siri the majority of the time. Starting to get worried!

I've been getting this problem with iOS7, but not as badly as you mention.  75% of the time Siri is OK, but it's definitely slower than with iOS6.  Usually, when there is a problem, I just immediately repeat my request and it works.
Although the delays are small - it may take 5 to 10 seconds to get Siri to respond - the great benefit of Siri is that it's quicker to do things with Siri than by other means: if it becomes slow, then a lot of the value of Siri disappears.
I hope these are just teething performance issues that Apple can fix in the next release.

  • Siri only works when I use the "raise to speak"-feature

    Siri works as in the icon shows up when I press the home button and it starts "listening". But the microphone does not show any movement. So Siri "doesn't hear me". Funny though: When I just pick up the phone and talk, she understands me perfectly.
    - Siri via home button does NOT pick up my voice
    - Siri with "raise to speak" enabled works
    - Microphone works
    - no network problems (my iPad-Siri works fine)
    Kinda annoying. Things I've tried:
    - reboot
    - turn off/on
    - diable bluetooth
    Hardware:
    - iPhone 5, 64 GB, white (as if it matters *g*).
    I am kind of clueless. Any help? Anyone? Thanks a lot.

    Replying to myself. Believe it or not. After I finished this post, I tried just one more time. Guess what? It works. No changes. Siri got scared of the community, I guess. Very weird.

  • WRE54G (Version 3.04.01) only works about 1/2 the time.

    Hello to all,
    This is my set up.
    ACTIONTEC with Wireless Gateway  (on the 1st floor) -> WRE54G (on the 2nd floor)-> computer/laptop/ Xbox 360.
    Here's the situation, I have my Range Expander configured and set up to work with my wireless router. I've configured it using the CD/online web page (i.e. using the IP address of the RE) to configure it.
    When ever I plan to use something which uses the internet, sometimes the RE works (blinking activity light) and sometimes it doesn't (solid activity light). Take my Xbox 360 for example, when I turn it on, I notice the activity light sometimes starts blinking, and shows a fabulous connection, but the next time I shut it off and turn it back on, the RE shows a solid blue activity light and poor connection on the 360.
    It does the very same to a laptop I'm using near on the second floor, I've put the RE next to the laptop, and sometimes the RE works, and sometimes it doesn't.
    Also, I will note, the link light is always blue, it has yet to turn red to indicate no connection.
    Solved!

    Power cycle your Actiontec Gateway and your Linksys Range Expander for a minute...See if it corrects your problem...
    If you continue to have problems you should upgrade/flash the Range Expander's firmware...
    Firmware can be downloaded from here
    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the RE to factory defaults, then setup the RE again from scratch...Please do this now and see if it corrects your problem...

  • Does Siri only work when connected to WiFi

    Does Siri only work when you are connected to a Wifi?  Mine does not seem to work through the 4G cell network.

    It works over WiFi or cellular.
    If you are using 4G cell network, are you using something like a Verizon MiFi 4510L to create a hotspot that your iPhone 4S is using?
    There are other issues with Siri that are going on - perhaps that is what you are seeing?

  • Brand new laserjet pro 400 only prints about 1" down the left side of the page

    I just unboxed a brand new Laserjet Pro 400 for a teacher, and upon running a test print, the printer only prints about 1" of the text down the left side of the page.  The text fades to white, and the entire remainder of the page is blank!  I re-seated the toner cardtridges, ran the cleaning program, and am still getting the same results!  Any suggestions?  A scan of the page is attached.  It came out this way after each solution that I tried!

    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.

  • Siri only works when "Raise to Speak" option is activated

    Hello:
    I have iOS 7 installed in my iPhone 5 and I have the following problem:
    Siri only works when "Raise to Speak" option is activated. When I change this option and I try to talk with siri I do not receive any answer.
    Please, could someone give me an idea to solve this problem!
    All the best

    I am having this same problem.  The problem appears to be related to the microphone and must be a softwear issue.  The microphone works with other apps, and works when making and receiving calls.  It also works when I "raise to speak" to Siri, but it does not pick up any sound when I attempt to talk to Siri by holding the home button, or when pressing the microphone button on screen when in the Siri interface.  Is it possible that holding the home button to talk to Siri is somehow not activating the microphone?
    I should also note that I have tried turning the phone off and back on.  I have tried the reset by holding the home button and the sleep/wake button, and I have even restored the phone in iTunes, although I did not set it up as a new iPhone, because I am not interested in losing app data, call history, messeges, etc.

  • My CD/DVD Drive Only Works When I Jam the CD/DVD in hard..?

    My CD/DVD drive only works when I stuff the CD/DVD in the drive EXTRA hard. If I just try to put in with normal force (that at one time worked) it spins the disc around, makes a spinning noise, and then ejects it. I'm taking it to the Apple Store soon. What should I expect to be wrong and is it fixable? Please share details. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like the spring that loads the drive has gotten jammed by something. This can often happen if you use CDs with sticky labels, or do anything to label the discs directly. As a result of issues like these, I've not labeled any discs directly, and instead store the in jewelcases, and purchase them prepackaged in jewelcases to avoid such issues.

  • ISight only works when it's the ONLY firewire device?

    I have connected the iSight to both the firewire 400 and firewire 800 ports. It only works when it is the only device connected to the port.
    If I connect it to a hard drive, it works if and only if the hard drive is off. When I turn the drive on, the iSight ceases functioning. When I connect it to a hub, it works if and only if there are no other devices connected to the hub that are on.
    Is there a trick to getting the iSight working with other devices?

     Some devices are tricky for me, too. Possible hardware or software conflicts

    Depends on how strong your wifi connection is.
    you can try a reset hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.
