Siri cannot be activated by rasing iphone 4s to ear

siri cannot be activated by rasing iphone 4s to ear

Are you sure that feature is turned on?
Settings > General > Siri > Raise to Speak turn Ed on?
Also there was a report that it might be necessary to twist your hand slightly as you lift the phone to your ear.

  • Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running google maps app on the phone. Siri cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Thanks.

    Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running Google Maps app on the phone. SIRI cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Also can anyone tell me the hierarchy of use between the Apple Maps, SIRI, and Google maps when the app is on the phone? How do you choose one over the other as the default map usage? Or better still how do you suppress SIRI from using the Apple maps app when requesting a "go to"?
    I have placed an address location into the CONTACTS list and when I ask SIRI to "take me there" it found a TOTALLY different location in the metro area with the same street name. I have included the address, the quadrant, (NE) and the ZIP code into the CONTACTS list. As it turns out, no amount of canceling the trip or relocating the address in the CONTACTS list line would prevent SIRI from taking me to this bogus location. FINALLY I typed in Northeast for NE in the CONTACTS list (NE being the accepted method of defining the USPS location quadrant) , canceled the current map route and it finally found the correct address. This problem would normally not demand such a response from me to have it fixed but the address is one of a hospital in the center of town and this hospital HAS a branch location in a similar part of town (NOT the original address SIRI was trying to take me to). This screw up could be dangerous if not catastrophic to someone who was looking for a hospital location fast and did not know of these two similar locations. After all the whole POINT of directions is not just whimsical pasttime or convenience. In a pinch people need to rely on this function. OR, are my expectations set too high? 
    How does the iPhone select between one app or the other (Apple Maps or Gppgle Maps) as it relates to SIRI finding and showing a map route?  
    Why does SIRI return an address that is NOT the correct address nor is the returned location in the requested ZIP code?
    Is there a known bug in the CONTACTS list that demands the USPS quadrant ID be spelled out, as opposed to abreviated, to permit SIRI to do its routing?
    Thanks for any clarification on these matters.

    siri will only use apple maps, this cannot be changed. you could try google voice in the google app.

  • HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account?

    I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
    You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one.

  • 'Iphone may be damaged and cannot be activated for service'

    Ive just bought a used iphone4. it arrived having been cleared and reset.
    I connected to itunes and upgraded to the new software. Then it worked for half a day. Then a message came up saying i need ot restore the phone.
    So i plugged it in again and at the end of the uprgrade sequence it comes up with-
    'Problem with the iphone - may be damaged and cannot be activated for service' - please visit apple store.
    Its obviously out of warranty and the apple store is a long way away. Ive only had it a day and im assured its never been jailbroken, dropped or water damaged.
    I know loads of people have had this message come up and people have recommened going to the apple store. But before i make the long trek i just wanted to know if anyone ever came up with a solution to fix this and use the phone again.
    Any help much appreciated. back on sh+tty blackberry!!

    Thanks for the replies guys!
    I cant access the phone it just stays on 'connect to itunes'
    Could someone quickly explain how jailbraking an iphone could cause it problems? I want to email the person I bought this from and tell them why I think they have damaged it by jailbraking it.
    I really appreciate this help bacuase ive shelled out £160 for this paperweight, Thanks.

    Hello everyone,
    I just updated my 3GS from iOS 5.0.0 to 5.0.1
    Since the update, Itunes says that no SIM card is detected, and the iPhone says that it cannot be activated. It also obviously does not detect any network.
    I tried restarting the phone several times, removing the SIM card several times, but it did not change anything, the SIM is still not detected.

    You do not need to keep posting the same thing over and over again.
    Look to the right side of this page at "more Like this" or do a forum search.

  • HT4623 iphone cannot be activated

    after updating iOS 6.0 my iphone cannot be activated through itunes. anyone any idea?

    Just have to give it some time. The activation and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.

    Why my iphone cannot be repaired in an authorized service center because thay said it is purchased in US not in Oman?
    This service center MI Store in oman refused to fix my iphone due to ( he said) it was not purchased in oman. and the warranty only for regional warranty. Is it true that the warranty in iphone had this kind of set up? what i know iphone warranty is international warranty.
    could any body confirm this?
    Thanks
    No, the iPhone does not have an international warranty.  This is incorrect.  Where did you get that information?
    An iPhone purchased in the US is serviceable in the US, and sometimes Canada.  The warranty explicitly states that Apple reserves the right to limit service of the device to the country of origin/purchase.

    iPhones can be unlocked in the U.S. as well and in a number of countries - by the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with, which doesn't require an Apple store and has nothing whatsoever to do with hacking an iPhone.
    Hacking an iPhone is against the iOS license agreement, which you have violated.
    If you think upgrading an iPhone isn't easy, I feel sorry for you. Upgrading an iPhone that hasn't been hacked to be unlocked or for any other reason is easy, but hacking as you have done can and does cause problems - you have severely altered the operating system making the iPhone as insecure as that swiss cheese for security garbage that is Windows and Android just for starters.
    Dropping back in the market to Nokia and Microslop?
    Wrong, and too funny, but thanks for my laugh for the day.

    Where was the original phone purchased from? What is the exact error you are receiving when trying to activate the device? Was the original phone possibly hacked to be used with another carrier before this one?
