Siri location services overenthusiasm?

I don't want to disable location services for Siri, but Siri keeps using it long after I've gotten what I wanted. Is there a setting I can change or something I can do to make it relax but not actually turn it off? If Siri were a real person I'd say, okay thank you--I'll call you when I need you again. But I definitely don't want to enable/disable all the time just to save some battery life.
Thanks.

Ok that was a no go. But I previously had an issue where Siri couldn't connect to the network. On another forum I found the fix which was to:
1. Turn Off Siri - Location Services (Settings > Location Services > Siri > Off
2. Reboot the phone
3. Turn On Siri - Location Services
I did that just now and Siri has not used LS once. Then again, I haven't tried the, "How do I get home" command with Siri yet. It's a quick fix...for now.

Next item not working in siri location services

When using Siri location services to find for example "I feel like chinese food tonight" siri responds with a list of restaurants and asks if you want to call the first one on the list or go to the next one. If you say "next" or "go to next one" siri does nothing it does not progress to the next item on the list. We've just got siri location services here in canada. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.
Thanks in Advance for any help!

This is no longer an issue. Sometime between friday and saturday something has changed at the server end for siri. There is no longer a prompt to dial number or go to next

Siri-location services always on please help!!

On my iPhone 4s Siri has been on with location services enabled since I got it. Out of the blue the purple arrow next to my battery bar apeared and will not go away this means my phone is actively using location services which drains my battery faster . In settings it says Siri is the only thing actively using location services. How can I use location services without having the purple arrow constantly being there and only being there when I use Siri for something that requires location services

Siri location services

Does anyone know when Siri will be able to find local businesses and complete other functions using location services for where you are actually located?
I am an Aussie living in the USA. Siri does not understand me when set to English US but when set to English Australian I get search results from Google.au. Siri, also, will not help me out with local searches for businesses. It should be able to understand different dialects and still bring back search results for a persons local......should it not? This is an essential feature for people like myself or just a tourist trying to find somewhere to eat while on holiday.
Cheers

I already restarted my device but it still can't find my current location. I'm using Wi-Fi only iPad

Does Siri location services waste the battery?

I can see that if I turn on location services for Siri (default was off), the purple "on" GPS icon is in the top bar of the phone all the time.
Previously, with other apps such as Geocaching or Navigon, I was told having the GPS active all the time would severely reduce battery charge.
Is this the case with Siri as well, on the 4S? Or is this GPS chip designed to play nicer with the battery?

Apple's faq on Siri suggests that WW locations will roll out during 2012 .
I suspect it will have to exit Beta before anything else happens

Does anyone know when Siri location services will work in the UK?

I really like the iP4S, and perhaps moving to it from a Blackberry.
However, one of the key features of the 4S is Siri and the last time I checked, it didn't have the "there is a pizza place within 5 miles from you" type service.
I know it's in beta, so that is why.
But I was wondering if anyone knew when it would begin to be released in the UK. I know it won't be released with ALL services available, but be good to know when it will begin to be available.
That said, I would wish Apple had genuine Push on all accounts. I don't know if it ever will, but that on it's own is drawing me away from iPhone and sticking wiht my BB.

Now you know as much as the rest of us

How do I start a petition so that I can name my Siri? Also I would like to bring to question the fact that when using British Siri you can't utilize the location services. Why?

I love Siri. It's useful and fun and I love messing with it but why can't I name it? It's sort of a petty thing but I would like to be able to name our phone companions. Also apple kinda needs to fix the location services thing with the other Siri voices :) thank you.

Send apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
What do you mean by the location services thing? As of iOS 6.0 us brits can use Siri to search for location-based stuff.

How do I get features to show up in general settings like iCloud and FaceTime? I also can't turn on location services for Siri. I have the new iPad and have updated to the new operating system. Please Help Me.

How do I get features to show up in General Settings like iCloud and FaceTime and Location services to show up for Siri?

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

Siri always using location services?

I do not know if it is supposed to be like this but i just noticed it this morning the location services icon in the upper right is always on. I went to settings to see what was using it and it was Siri. Is this supposed to be like this? Thanks.

Yes, Siri uses Location Services extensively.

Siri does not uses location services

even if the location services for siri is on, sire can not do based-location reminders

Siri could use location reminders before the ios 6 update, i used to use them all the time based on an address in my contacts, now no longer works, is this a result of the disaster that is the maps app?

When using siri my location service turns off ?

when i use siri the location service turns off ?...when i turn it on and go back to siri it (location service) shuts off again ??! what causes this and how do i fix it ?

Hi,
If a Restart and a Reset have not Resolved the issue, then the next step is a Restore...

Cheers,

I just bought an iPhone 4S 3 days ago, but its battery seems to lose 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tuned off some location services, bluetooth, and even siri, and made its settings similar to my two-year old iPhone 4. The 4S can last much shorter.

I am having the exact same problem with my iphone 5.
I took it back to the Apple store 2 days ago and they gave me a new one, but they told me not to restore it from backup cos if something (an app) is corrupted it will happen again. The only thing they could keep was my contacts cos they did something there that allowed them to transfer them to the new phone. I went home, and downloaded only ONE app (facebook), and guess what - THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURING ON THE BRAND NEW PHONE! It is driving me insane as I cant get through the day without my phone.
Really hoping someone has a fix that will work

Settings Location Services Siri not there???
