My siri does not work

I just got my iPhone 4s today.  When I tried to use Siri, she replied to me "I'm sorry but I cannot answer your questions right now. Something has gone wrong and I cannot help you."  I tried multiple types of questions, turned the phone on and off, turned Siri on and off, and nothing has helped. What is going on?

Siri requires an Internet connection, either 3G or WiFi. Did you have one at the time?

  • 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.
    God Bless You All.

  • Siri does not work to dial a number on my Iphone 5 since a digit was added to the number in Ecuador

    Siri does not work to dial a number on my Iphone 5 since a digit was added to the number in Ecuador

    Hola Classo, encontré una solución en estos foros. Solo agrega un signo + al final del numero al que quieres llamar desde Siri.
    por ejemplo: 0998345789+
    Cuando haces eso, igual puedes llamar, igual puedes usar facetime y iMessage.
    Y siri ya llama.
    Es al menos una solución temporal hasta que Apple pare bola.

  • HT1414 My vocal texting and Siri does not work...why?

    ANy thoughts on why my Siri on my iPhone 5 does not work?

    A reset will not cause any data loss.
    A restore from backup should not result in any data loss.
    A restore as new will put the device in a "fresh out of the box" state.
    If you are using the device as designed (i.e. syncing contacts and calendars to a supported app on the computer or a cloud service) then there is no risk.
    Pictures are designed to be moved to a computer regularly.  Any that the user desires to have on the device should be synced via iTunes.
    All media on the device should exist in iTunes on the computer.
    Frankly, it would be really unintelligent to rely on any device, especially one as easily lost/stolen as a phone as sole storage of content.

  • Siri does not work after ios6 upgrade

    I upgraded my iPhone 4S to IOS6 and ever since Siri almost never works. No matter what I ask I either get something to the effect that she cannot handle my request or she wants to do a web search. She has become all but useless. Too bad I cannot revert back to IOS5.

    Same issue on my iphone s4....I tried everything except a factory reset...

  • Siri is not working for dictation since ios 8.2 update.

    Since updating to iOS 8 .2, I am having trouble using Siri for dictation in fillable form fields.   It works great on a blank field but if I reenter the field and try to enter more text Siri does not work.  This was not a problem in any of the previous iOS versions including 8.0 and 8.1.  Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Duplicate post by the same user.
    Since updating to iOS 8.2 I can not use Siri to enter text into a text field on a fillable form.  It works until I re-enter a field that already has text in it.  Thank you for any help you can provide me.
