I'm having trouble with the raise to speak feature for siri. Please help
So I just got the Iphone 4s the other day and looked at a bunch of forums on how to use the raise to speak option but none of them have worked for me. I tried slowly raising it to my ear from a viewing position on the lock screen but it doesn't work. I tried the same thing from the home screen but it still doesn't work. Please help me. I would really like to learn how to use this feature.

Activating Siri this way is tricky, and not at all intuitive.
You have to start with the phone in front of you, held parallel to the floor (ie. held flat horizontally), then bring it up to your ear so it's vertical with a normal, smooth motion. Your hand must rotate from the horizontal to vertical position of the phone.
If you start with the phone vertically in front of your face, then move it over to your ear Siri will NOT activate.
They key is starting with the phone held horizontally. The motion from horizontal to vertical is necessary. It uses the motion sensor as well as the proximity sensor.
This is illustrated on page 39 of the iPhone User Manual. I recommend you download the manual and look at the illustration and it will be crystal clear:

The raise to speak feature on Siri does not work
The raise to speak feature on Siri does not work anymore is there any possible fixes for this
I had the same problem (iPhone 5), but the fix was simple.
Turn off your Bluetooth. Yeah, I know this sounds crazy. Here's why.
When you use Siri with the "Raise to Speak" feature activated (Settings/General/Siri), this enables the proximity sensor that lets the iPhone know it is near your ear, activates Siri, and turns off the display.
However, if you are using a bluetooth headset (like I do), then this sensor is turned off automatically, because you will be speaking thru your bluetooth and not the iPhone to activate Siri and make calls.
To prove this, do the following test.
Make sure "Siri" is on, and "Raise to Speak" is on (Settings/General/Siri).
Turn off your Bluetooth (Settings/Bluetooth).
(TEST) Hold your phone in front of you, and with a natural motion, bring the phone to your ear (as if you are answering a call). Siri will automatically activate, assuming you want to ask it/her a question (very cool feature). And the screen will turn offautomatically.
If you have never used the "Raise to Speak" feature, this feature automatically activates Siri when you raise the phone to your ear (really a cool and helpful feature). It may take a little practice to get used to this. I struggled at first, but soon got the hang of using a natural motion to bring the phone to my ear. Starting with the phone in front of you, the phone should be "almost" parallel to the ground when it gets to your ear. It may take several practice tries to get it, but you will get it, and you will be hooked on this neat little feature.
Ok, with this done, this proves your proximity sensor is funtioning properly.
Now, turn on your Bluetooth (Settings/Bluetooth).
And repeat the same (TEST) above.
This time, Siri should not activate, and the screen should not go off. Why? This is because your voice communications with callers (and Siri), are now going thru your Bluetooth, and not the phone handset. Because of this, their is no need for the proximity sensor, so it is automatically turned off (when Bluetooth is on).
I can only speak for me and my situation, and what worked for me. However, their may be other issues regarding the proximity sensor separate of this that I am not aware of.
I hope this helps you.
Man I love the "Raise to Speak" feature, you will too.

Is PE10 compatible with Windows 8? Having trouble with the organizer.
Is PE10 compatible with Windows 8? Having trouble with the organizer
It does sound very Watch Folders-esque, however, it seems strange that there are many folders involved. Are all the folders under a single parent folder perhaps? If so, you could try renaming or moving that folder. Additionally, to clarify, all 60 files are images, correct?
Additionally, you can try creating a new catalog, just to see if that lets you in. Hold down the Shift key while launching the Organizer. If you get the timing right, the Catalog Manager will appear. -

I need any help i can get, im having trouble with the app find my iphone. I have lost my iphone, checked on the computer, and somehow, took it away so how do i get it back??If you are saying that after signing into iCloud it is telling you device is not found, it could be for any number of reasons. If the battery is dead, if the SIM has been removed, or if someone else has the phone and they have restored it, it will not be shown. Also, if you located it once and then sent a remote wipe, it disables the abililty to locate the phone with Find My iPhone.

I am having trouble with the cache in bridge. When i open I get a message saying bridge has encountered a problem reading the cache try purging in the central cache to correct the situation. I did that but now when I try to get to the folders where my photos are stored bridge never gets to where I can work. The message appears "building criteria" and I get an endless loop on the lower left panel. How do I correct?
You correct it by leaving Bridge alone until it finishes rebuilding its cache, overnight if necessary.

I'm having trouble with the develop module in LR5.4. Any adjustments are taking effect, but only viewable in the filmstrip, not on the main photo. The navigator will go grey, as does the main area too. This applies to all edits done in develop module. I have posted several times on the forum with no responses to address this, and have seen others with the same issue. I have even gone as far as to do a complete re-install of LR5, with no success. I'm at a loss, and I depend on it for so much editing. Please help.

I am having trouble with the initial connection of the apple tv. I have isolated the problem to the cable/connection. My new hdmi cable has a resolution up to 1080p...does the resolution matter?is this the right hdmi cable for the apple tv?
There are only two types of HDMI cables (standard and high speed - listen to all 1.2, 1.3 etc etc nonsense they will try to tell in the store) both types will work with the Apple TV.
The cable may be faulty though, have you got another to try, what exactly is happening. -

Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2?
Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2 ? My 2010 Macbook Air has crashed 15times since the 10.8.2 update. Have only once since owning it.
Turned out the hardware was bad. Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great. Thank goodness it was a defect. If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

I'm having trouble with the MTS MT2S convertor.
I’m having trouble with the MTS MT2S convertor. On my video camera (I have a Panasonic HC-V500 full HD 1920x1080) I’ve recorded in HD and when I use the MTS convertor to change the file type I select the HD option it’s a quicktime .mov file type and when it has finished converting the quality of the video goes to a lower quality and the colours aren’t vibrant like shown on the original recording on my camera. It also looks slightly grainy. So my question is which HD file type should I be choosing? As I no there’s a few but unsure which is best to use. I have also changed quality to original and didn’t make a difference on the quicktime .mov file type. I wasn’t sure if theres anything else on there I’m meant to be adjusting? As the software didn’t come with any instructions on how to use it. Just to mention i upload my videos to youtube so i want them to be in HD but i use iMovie as my editing software before i upload to youtube and i no avi file format isn't supported in iMovie.
