HT5025 Problem with Siri on iPhone 4S
I have an iPhone 4S and updated it recently to iOS 7. When this happened it deleted Siri from the phone. How do I get Siri back on this iPhone? By the way it is missing from Settings>>General.
First, are you sure it is a 4S and not an iPhone 4? The iPhone 4 does not have Siri.
Second, do you have a profile (Settings > General > Profile)? If so, the people who set up your profile may have disallowed Siri.
Third, is Siri restricted (Settings > General > Restrictions)?
Fourth, I believe Siri is not allowed in certain regions or countries. Might this be the reason?

I'm having problems with Siri on my iPhone 6. It worked briefly yesterday and now its not doing anything. I have turned phone off and on and made sure everything is on in settings. Please help!
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).

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,
dougI 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."

Problem with network on Iphone 4
Please tell me if someone has a problem with network on Iphone 4?
Of course other people have had problems. However, just knowing that other people have had some vague, undefined "network problems" most likely isn't going to be very useful. You'll get more and better help if you can give some details about your specific problem. Include who your carrier is, what country you're in. Then describe the exact nature of the problem. Then, maybe someone will be able to give good suggestions.
And, by the way, the free bumper program ended some time ago. It also was only a "solution" for one of many possible problems.
Best of luck. -
hey everyone.. i have a problem with my 3Gs iphone.. i updated to the ios5 and now when i open it says that i have to connect it with the itunes. when i connect it says that has an error 28 something like that.. can anyone help me to fix it?? Regards
Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

I m having problems with both my iphone 3gs and 4 when my cellular data is on and my battery is fully charge but out of suddenn it will shut off can i know how can i troubleshoot this issue thanks
simply try doing a back up and restore
when going thru the activation screen, select SET UP AS NEW and then test your device. if it is not shutting down then it could be 1 or more apps tht have been downloaded wch could be affecting the device
you will then need to follow the process of eleimnation, meaning add 2 apps and then monitor your phone, if nothing happes then add another couple of them and then check
good luck !! -

unfortunately there are tons of people with this issue but Apple has not given any answers for us to fix this issue yet. I wish they would allocate more people to solving these problems when they roll out new versions of itunes along with new hardware.

HT1688 im having problems with my 3gs iphone camara
I having problems with my 3gs iphone i press the off button and it wont turn off and wen i go to my camara it wont take pictures or video
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, resest, restore from backup, restore as new.
If you still have problems after going through ALL the recommended troubleshooting steps, then you likely have a hardware issue. You'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation. -
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:
