Siri can be activated with Assistive Touch?

I was playing around with Assistive Touch and somehow activated Siri.
Initially I thought it was because my hand got too close to the sensor that triggers the "Raise to Speak" function.
Out of curiosity, I googled about Siri and Assistive Touch and apparently I'm not the only one who managed to bring out Siri with Assistive Touch. So I continued playing with the "Home" icon on Assistive Touch and managed to get Siri activated a couple more times. My phone was on a flat table surface, and I only used one finger to randomly tap on the Home button (of Assistive Touch) for different durations. So there was little chance that it was the sensor that triggered Siri.
Siri was activated with just Assistive Touch, that's one thing I'm sure of. But the combination of Home button taps or duration, I'm really not sure.
Can someone share whether they know exactly how to activate Siri without pressing the physical Home Button or using "Raise to Speak", and only using Assistive Touch?
I've been playing with the Home button on Assistive Touch for the past hour or so and managed to get Siri out about 6 times. I don't think it's a random thing, with technology, its usually some definitive way to get the result.

Before you slide to unlock
tap the home button on assistive touch and hold ,will bring up Siri
That That is all I found out so far, still try the second way (after slide unlock )

  • IPhone 5. My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on with assistive touch, given that the icon disappears?

    My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on without the on-off switch?

    Depending on what you mean by power off.  If you mean putting the phone to Sleep, you can tap on the Home button to bring it back. If you turn it off completely, then the only way to turn it on is to use the physical Power Button.

  • How can I disable the assistive touch programmatically ? This is like a bug. Though the Guided access is enabled a user can take screenshot of my application content. How can I solve this ? any idea ....

    Question: Do you think the response from the support staff is correct? I mean, surely, I can't be the only CF user on a shared box whose other users need to modify the date and time within their applications. Even if they do it at the application level for their domain, surely it wouldn't affect mine, would it? That was what was implied by the support people, but I have a feeling they are way off, or covering for some goof-up on their end. I struggled like hell yesterday trying to get this to work and I did not get very far at all.
    I found an interesting tutorial here which does a comparison of time zones and, theoretically, this might do the trick. But if what the guy told me was nonsense then I won't bother with it. For the record, our calendar has been working fine for about a week now.

    After acceessing home screen with assistive touch auto lock is not working in my iphone 4S after upgrading to ios6

    Additional testing i perform to make wifi work but nothing works out:
    i did re-installing the software using iTunes, reset the network settings restarting the phone. Nothing solves my problem.
    wifi was working with older software versions. i think there should be a problem with 8.1.1.
    is anyone has fix for this issue?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • My lock screen button is not working and i turned off my iphone with assistive touch. Now i cant turn my phone back on!

    I used assistive touch to turn off my iphone, because my lock screen button is not working, so now i cant turn it back on! What i did was, i went to assistive touch, then i held down the lock screen button to turn it off. Now i can't turn it back on.

    To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on

  • Unlock iPod with assistive touch

    I turned on assistive touch and my iPod touch turned off I can't turn it back on.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Is AppleCare (Education) can be activated with normal purchased macbook?

    Hi,
    I bought my macbook pro retina 15" about 11 months ago (as normal customer) and I want to activate AppleCare for it.
    Few hours ago, I purchased AppleCare Protection Plan, but as now I am a student in sweden, I purchased it as educational product. Later on, I heard from someone that it can't be activated with my macbook pro because when I bought it it wasn't as educational product and this AppleCare Protection Plan is for education macbook pro !
    is it true, if so can I return it? I have purchased it today afternoon swedish time.
    Thanks

    The license manager is smarter than that. Eventhough you installed the OS several times and the actual machine ID probably did change because of that, you did not completely change the machine itself, and the machine ID is based on several characteristics of your hardware and software installation. So the license server can detect if it is just a reinstalled machine or instead a completely different one.

  • Can't sync with ipod touch

    I had to delete my FF Sync account because it would no longer sync with my ipod touch no matter what I did, so I gave up. I cannot set up a new sync account because it says my email is already in use. Need assistance.

    OK, I wound up going to my local Genius Bar, and here's what we did:
    1) reinstalled iTunes ...still didn't sync
    2) repaired disk permissions...same thing
    3) created a new user account on my MacBook and checked to see if my iPod touch would sync then...it did
    4) went back to my user account, re-restored my iPod Touch and deleted the iPod backup file...and then it synced. At this point, it looked like it was a corrupted backup file.
    When I got home and hooked it up to let it finish syncing, I realized that none of my photos had been transferred to my iPod touch, so I told it to...and the -50 error came up again. Another round of restoring the iPod and deleting the backup file, then I told it to load my photos from the My Pictures folder, rather than from iPhoto (which was the original setting before all this happened)...and it was fine. So my guess is that something in iPhoto 6 is tripping up the iTunes software (or vice versa) and screwing up the backup/sync process. I'll continue to keep an eye on it and see if that holds.
    Thanks to Ariel at the Genius Bar in the Apple Store at the Menlo Park Mall, Edison, NJ! You were a great help, and thanks for your patience!

  • HT201412 My lock screen is frozen. It will not let me slide to unlock or anything. I can't power it off because my lock button is broken and I can't do the assistive touch thing? Help!

    My lock screen is frozen! It will not let me slide to unlock or touch the screen at all. I can't power it down either because the lock button is broken. A friend of mine said I might need a new Digitizer? Is there anyway I can avoid that? Pleasae Help!

    I am having the SAME exact problem! Except instead of lock button broken it's my home button so I can't do the whole "put in recovery mode" deal. My screen only says "tap the home button 3 times" and it has my screen locked until I hit the home button but since it is broken I can't get in my phone at all. I have all of my work info in my phone so I'm screwed and can't get any help. PLEASE let me know if you find a way around this...!!!
    Thanks!

  • Can carplay work with ipod touch and ipad in ios7.1?

    I wonder if this works cuz i dont have an iphone 5,5c, or 5s

    All we can tell you is what Apple says, which is that it will work only with the iPhone 5/5C/5S and future iPhone models. Since no CarPlay system is even shipping in cars yet, we don't know what will be the case in the future.
