Raise to Speak quit working

When I upgraded to io6, Raise to Speak quit working. The setting is turned on on my iPhone 4s. Siri does work when holding the home button.
What else could have changed?

ok, I tried re-booting the phone. It worked. Siri now beeps at me and her wish is my command!

TS4079 Raise to speak quit working.

General settings, Siri, Raise to speak is still turned on. Turning it off and back on didn't help.

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:

IPhone 5 update 6.1.3 speaker quit working after update

After update 6.1.3 on my iPhone 5 my speaker quit working. Did a restore still nothing. Headphones work just fine. No speaker phone or music.

Plugged into iTunes - told me to update to 6.1.3. Did its thing... and no sound from speaker. This happened immediately following the completion of the update - I didn't even pick up the phone. ***!
Headphone works fine, but I get zippo from the speaker except an occasional crackle.
Turned off BT, reset settings, plugged and unplugged the headphones (to see if the sensor was stuck), rebooted the phone, did a restore to factory, everything I could think of. Speaker is dead.
Don't perform this update - something's wrong.
Now I've got a useless piece of junk and I keep missing incoming calls. Nice job Apple!

"Raise to Speak" not working on iPhone 4s

I got my Iphone 4s today. Everything works fine except for the "Raise to Speak" feature. I have it turned on in the Siri settings but there is nothing that I can do to get Siri to start when I raise the phone to my ear. Really frustrating. I have been on the phone with Apple's support and so far nothing that they proposed worked. We tried rebooting the phone, turning the phoe off and on again, and turning the raise to speak setting on and off. Anybody having the same problem?

I think I got it to work fine now. Everything depends on the kind of moviment you do to raise your phone to your ear. If you have your arm straight down and move the phone to your ear it does not work. It works with shorter moviments. I hold the phone in front of me as if I am reading the screen with my arm bended in 90 degrees. I bring the phone to the ear and it works like a sharm every time.
How did I founf that out? I went to the Apple store and I was able to see that everybody was having dificulty with using the feature. We tried several phones and it seemed to work randomly. After spending a lot of time behaving like an idiot moving the phone up and down thousands of times I sat down and it started to work much better. That was when I realized that it was working better because I was not moving the phone from all the way down but from much closer to my chest.
Now some important information. First, the raise to speak feature works from any screen that is on, even from active application screens. For example, when reading a message, I raised the phone to my ear and it worked fine. At the apple store, some of the apple advisors thought that it would only work if you were already in the Siri screen, which is not true.
Second, I have to say that I actually got my phone replaced just in case it was a hardware issue. However, I tried the new phone still using the long moviments and the raise to speak feature would not work. I changed to the short moviment I described before and everything worked fine. I am convinced that it is not a hardware problem.
I hope this helps. Enjoy your new Iphone 4s.

Siri - Raise to speak not working

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 after which raise to speak in Siri is not working. Please help

Hi satish12,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Here are a couple of things to try to address this issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

"raise to speak" not working on iPhone 6

My son was very upset when he discovered that the "raise to speak" feature no long works on iPhone 6 or if you updated your iOS to 8. The issue seems to be that Siri comes through only on speaker and not the phone so there is no privacy when using Siri.
Can you tell me whether you know or have information that Apple will restore the "raise to speak" functionality in an iOS update? It really doesn't make sense that they took it out.

Apple has not made any statements about why they removed that feature. Speculation is prohibited. However, the fact that there is a new feature that allows you to raise the phone to make a recording in iMessages may be related.

Siri 'Raise to Speak' not working with iPhone 5S

Didn't work, did a restore, still doesn't work. The basic 'raise to face' function is working since my phone goes dark when I'm talking with it.
Guess the first question would be 'Is it working for anyone with a 5S'.
If it is I guess a trip to the Genius Bar is in order.

Left speaker only quit working on 5200

I have the Inspire 5.1 5200 speaker set and there's no longer any sound from the left front output. The problem seems to be the internal system of the subwoofer since I tested the cables, the speakers, and the soundcard. Output directly from the soundcard works fine with headphones.
The problem seems to have started when I loaded Win-XP but I can't imagine how that would have anything to do with it since the output from the soundcard is fine.
Is there anything inside that subwoofer that can be repaired? Does this sound familiar to anyone? Do I have to make a run to the dumpster?

I am having the same problem....exact same speaker quit working. I also get a few popping sounds when my pc comes on and also when trying to play a game. It gets frustrating because when a character in the game talks it pops thru the whole conversation. I thought it was my sound card - Audigy Gamer Card but then I bought this one - Audigy 2 ZS but it is doing the same thing. I hate to go out and buy a whole new set of speakers to verify that is the problem.
My system is:
P4 3.06 Ghtz
024 Meg Ram
2 80 gig Hard Drives
DVD Drive
DVD R/RW Drive
Floppy Drive
Speakers - Creative Inspire 5. 5200
I have built my system April 2004 and the problem started about 3 weeks ago. Will someone from Creatives Tech support actually respond to this?

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.

HT1766 My iPad speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, anything in setup for a fix

My speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, is there a setting for this

Plug/unplug the headphones from the iPad a few times. Also try rotating the plug in the socket a few times. The headphone jack has an internal switch which turns the speaker off when the headphones are plugged in. The contacts may have gotten dirty within the socket. Working the plug within the socket can sometimes get things working again.

I have an iPhone 4S, and just now the sound quit working. It works with the headset and if I put it on speaker, but not anyway else. The music won't send sound out, the purine calls do the same. I reset to the original settings, nothing works.

I have an iPhone 4S, the sound quit working. I have sound in the headset and if I put the phone on speaker, I've reset to original settings, tried several options. Nothing works to resolve the options. Please help.

Hi there Wacjude,
I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some speaker and receiver troubleshooting steps.

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.

Raise to speak Siri function stopped working

The raise to speak Siri function on my new 4s stopped working., I have tried turning it off and on several times and it is still not working, Siri still works when I press the home button. Anyone else hae this problem and how did they fix it?

Jason is correct.
