IPhone 4s Voice Recognition Stopped Working

Voice recognition/Siri worked yesterday but is not working today.  I have powered it down multiple times, deleted new apps, turned Siri on and off but nothing has helped.  Suggestions?

I use voice to text all the time.  It worked yesterday but not today.  I am not a big Siri user but tried it today as well. It acts as if it is listening but does not respond.  I have also tried using my Apple headphones with microphone but that does not work either.

  • Iphone 6 voice recognition not working

    I have an iphone 6 and have had it since October 2014.  For about a month now, the voice recognition option does not work.  I like to use it rather than texting, and emails when I'm on the go and it's frustrating that I can't figure out what's wrong.  I have looked through other threads to try and figure out what else I might do.  So far I've:
    rebooted (hard reset)
    double checked that all my settings are correct re Siri and voice recognition
    checked that it is not a problem with earphones v. no earphones.  Doesn't appear to make any difference
    Siri doesn't work either
    Checked the microphone to make sure it's not blocked or something
    I can use the phone feature just fine. 
    It just seems to be the voice recognition feature that doesn't want to cooperate.  If you have any ideas please let me know!
    I'm taking it to the Apple Store next week since I have run out of my own ideas... Thanks!

  • IPhone 2G voice mic not working

    Has anyone come across iPhone 2G voice mic not working (not being heard by the other person) but works fine on speaker phone and bluetooth headset. It has been working fine so far and suddenly developed this problem! Any help is highly appreciated….

    I had that problem with my iPhone 3G after about 5 days.
    I just had Apple take a look at it.
    They cleaned it out, called it and stuff.
    Didn't work.
    Since I didn't drop it in water and it was not my fault in any way, they gave me a brand new one.

  • IPhone 5 display has stopped working. How do I fix this?

    My iPhone 5 display has stopped working. The Lock button has not been working for quite some time now, so I can't try a reset. When I plug the phone up to the computer, it makes the sound which indicates that it has been hooked up, bu nothing is displayed. It is just a black screen.

        I'm sorry to hear about your phone, frodolad_ell. It sounds like you have a defective device. Is the phone still under the one year warranty? Does the device have physical or moisture damage? Please provide me with a few details.

  • If you're trying use your hotspot and connected to wifi on your iphone, does the wifi stop working and start using your data instead of staying connected to the wifi?

    Thanks for the quick response. What you have said makes sense but there is no rhyme or reason to he data used. I reset my cellular data counter to zero so both sent and received read zero. I was connected to wifi and let the phone to go into sleep mode. I waited about ten minutes and sent myself the same email four times, each with a 750 kb attachment. It was sent to my .me address so it was push mail on my phone. Sure enough I checked a minute later while bringing the phone out of sleep mode and checked the data. It showed just 10kb sent but 1mb received which just doesn't tally with the 4 x 750kb mails received. It just isn't making sense.
    He knows what you asked and has already answered it!
    I thought I had read where the iOS4 (or maybe just the iPhone 4) was supposed to be able to keep wifi connections alive while inactive. If the phone is sitting there on a charger with a wifi connection available, why use the 3G?

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - it looks like somebody has asked the hosts to remove your personal info from your post (it's not a good idea to post any personal info on any public forum).
    What do you 'stopped working and was closed, I can not work with him' ? What exactly are you seeing on the phone's screen ?
    If it's the activation screen and you can't remember your password for your account then see if you can get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com

    My iphone 5 speakerphone just stopped working today as i was on the phone.  i have tried to use it, and it doesnt work.  THis really stinks because now im completly unable to video chat and do other things.. please help!!!

    Booked into the Genius Bar at the Apple store in the Manchester Arnedale shopping centre and arrived on time today.
    The staff asked if I had backed it up, which I responded that I had. I also explained that I had been on the forums and followed some of the advice.
    My iphone 5 was only 7 months old and still under warranty, so I should have expected excellent service, and I got it. The phone was repaired by the store and returned to me approximately 30 minutes earlier.
    Happy days.

  • Finger print recognition stops working after a few uses with IOS 8

    Why does my finger print recognition stop working on my IP6 and IOS 8.1.2 after a few uses. I re-enter finger prints and it stops working again after a few uses.

    No one here would know.  What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Today my iPhone 5c earphone jack stopped working, I don't have applecare  but my phone is only a month old. I was just wondering if I could still get it fixed at a reasonable price.

    Today my iPhone 5c earphone jack stopped working, I don't have applecare  but my phone is only a month old. I was just wondering if I could still get it fixed at a reasonable price.

    Your iPhone has a one year warranty even without buying AppleCare. As long as the problem wasn't caused by damage you caused (e.g. dropping, water, etc) it should be covered. The following may help: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/

    I have an old iPhone 4 that finally stopped working.  I have an unlimited data plan and want to keep it.  When I called customer service, I was told like in the past that if you purchase the new phone at full price, you can keep your old plan.  However, after some time on the phone i was told by the csr and supervisor that their system is not allowing them to complete the transaction without changing to a limited data plan.  I was told to try going to a store and buy the phone.  Same thing happened.  Has Verizon changed something and not told their employees?

    Seems like people having this problem are those coming from a phone that doesn't have a nano SIM card...so when Verizon issues them one they end up changing their plan. No clue why this keeps happening but stay on top of them. As long as you initiated the request for your plan to be reinstated within the 14 day time frame they should put it back. Interested in seeing how this plays out. There is still one phone in my house that hasn't been upgraded (an iPhone 4). I'm hoping when we do upgrade it at full retail they won't mess with her unlimited data plan

  • The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

    The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

    When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
    Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
    Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
    Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
    If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
    The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
    If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
    Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
    Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
    To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
    To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.
