Siri Microphone Activation Button Intermittent Defect

I recently got my new iPhone 5 and love the new Siri capabilities on it.  I use it for quite a lot of things and enjoy that it can be used hands-free to do many tasks on the iPhone.
I have noticed, however, that sometimes when Siri gets finished processing a request and I go to press the purple microphone button to speak again, it does not work.  The button recognizes that I have touched it, however as soon as I remove my finger from the touch screen, it immediately cuts me off from speaking and does the little end-input animation instantly so that I can't talk.
I have tried pressing quickly and slowly to rule out any possibility that my finger was touching the screen twice or anything.  It will continue to behave like this until I restart Siri.  Has anyone else experienced this bug?  Could it be a glitch that Apple will fix in an upcoming update?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello there DigJazz,
I was researching what may be causing Siri to act this way and wanted to recommend steps 1, 3, and 5 from our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
Here is step 1 to get you started.
Take care,
Sterling

    Try turning off Siri in your Settings. Follow the steps on this page: http://www.imore.com/need-disable-notification-center-control-siri-access-lock-s creen-heres-how-ios-8
    If this doesn't help, try resetting your iPhone. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
    Press and hold on the Home button
    Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
    Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

  • The Hyperlinks and even the active buttons(like Back, Forward, Maximize,minimize,closeetc) on a webpage opened on Firefox page become inactive and there is no action on mouse click on them.

    == Issue
    ==
    I have another kind of problem with Firefox
    == Description
    ==
    I use Firefox Version 3.6.6. If firefox is kept opened for a day or two with some tabs opened, then the active buttons like the "Back","Forward","Maximize","minimize","Close", etc and even the links on the webpage become disabled. On mouse click no action gets performed on these type of links. Once this starts only a PC restart causes Firefox to work normally.
    Please kindly help me with a solution and I would request a fix for this issue.

    I do not use McAfee software and I am having this issue. I can right-click on the "back-or-forward" buttons and get a history list to choose from (which is far from an improvement), but do not get any response from a left-click. The "back-or-forward" navigation buttons are greyed-out. Also, when I open Firefox (4), I get two title bars at the top with two separate sets of the "minimize", "maximize" and "close" icons. It appears as if one window is open within another, but if I click any of the commands "both" windows respond. It's annoying and cumbersome.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58001-58500/sp5822​6.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
    Regards,

    (Apologies for butting in wiclee.)
    The effect is usually caused by trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system. Unfortunately it's a bit trickier to deal with on Windows 7 systems than Vista or XP. (The "Vortical" instructions which can fix it for almost all folks on Vista and XP aren't applicable to Windows 7.)
    Try having a look through the following (unfortunately very long) topic. It contains a lot of information on the Windows 7 variants of this, and possible methods for fixing the various Segoe UI-related issues that might be in play:

This square appeared suddenly, no application was installed on the day when it happened. I've rebooted the  iPad and updated the software to the latest version, but it didn't help.
    I kindly ask for the suggestions on fixing this unusual iPad error. if needed, I could send a video on this problem.

    I Thought you meant you could upload it here or upload it to YouTube and post the link here.
    IF you can't do that, can you post a screenshot here? Hold the power button down and then tap the home button to take a screen shot. You will hear the camera shutter sound, the screen will flash white and the screenshot will appear in the photos app. You can tap the camera icon in the editing bar in the text block that you type your response in and then select the option to use an existing photo.

  • T400s Microphone muting button and Windows 7

    Hello,
    I have a brand new Lenovo T400s. It had Windows Vista operating system but a few days ago I installed Windows 7 on it.
    It was Vista Premium and for that reason I had to install Windows 7 from a scratch.
    Therefore all drivers were lost. I used ThinkVantage (Doctor) software to download necessary drivers from Lenovo web site.
    Everything works except for microphone muting button (amber light in it does not react as well).
    I was thinking that it a driver problem as my keyboard driver is now Standard keyboard PS/2 driver (installed by 7 automatically). But I was not able neither to find any suitable driver on Lenovo website, nor to encounter any description of this problem solution in the Internet.
    Does anyone knows what can be done in this situation?
    Thank you.

    if you're 100% sure you installed all the drivers then i don't know why, but i can confirm that button has nothing to do with the keyboard driver. there is no "lenovo keyboard driver"
    i didn't have a problem with this at all. just double check (use system update) if you've got all the drivers.

  • Making a circle for the active button

    I am running Encore version 2.0 and was hoping someone could give me a workaround for creating a circle that isn't all "chunky" looking as my active button. I created the menu in photoshop and would really like to be able to have a circle as my highlight active button, but for some reason, the only shape that seems to work is a rectangle or squareish button. Thank you in advance for any help.

    I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "active button" and Highlight active button. If you mean that you want a circular video button with a circle highlight, then I don't see why you couldn't in photoshop, in a button group labeled (+), have a layer for the video labeled (%) with a circle (use elipse tool with shift) and filled with some color.
    Then that same layer with the circle has to have a layer mask applied to prevent Encore from making it into a rectangle.
    Then just put the same circular shape for the highlight (=1) on another layer and turn down the opacity for it in the "Edit Menu Color set" in Encore.
    Just a thought.
