Siri no longer reading texts after updating to iOS 8

Ever since updating to IOS 8 Siri can no longer see or read my texts.  This happens whether the phone is locked or unlocked. Prior to updating, I could simply ask Siri if she could read my new texts and she would comply.  Occasionally she is able to read my texts when the phone is unlocked only, but most of the time, she just says "you have no new texts."  I was hoping the issue would be fixed with 8.1 but to my dismay it is not.  Currently using an iPhone 4S with IOS 8.1.

  • Can no longer use SMS after update to IOS 8.2

    what at happened with the update to SMS messages on the iPad?
    I was able to use SMS as well as iMessage on my iPad until I updated it to 8.2. Now I cannot use SMS at all. In settings -messages, there is no longer a toggle for "send as SMS" on/off as there used to be and as there still is on my iPhone after the update. There is also no longer a toggle for "MMS" Messaging nor Group messaging.
    As I said, my iPhone is fine after the update.

    IN your iPhone go to settings-messages-text mmessage forwarding. Tap on that and tap on the green toggle to turn it off.
    THen go go back out of setting and then go back in and repeat the steps again and turn that option to forward text messages back on.
    you will then get a message to put in a code that appears on your iPad. Look at your iPad and the message will be there with the code that you need to put in your phone.
    ENter er that code in your phone and it should work.
    THe he only thing is that I don't remember if I turned my phone off and then back on after I turned the setting off and then back on again before I turned that text forward setting back to on. So if the above does not work then try turning your phone off and then back on in between.
    I Hope this fixes it for you. Let me know!

  • My iPhone 5 can't make calls or send receive texts after update to iOS 8.0.

    sa shortly after I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.0.2, I started noticing that it keeps dropping the connection to AT&T. It keeps switching from LTE to 4G then drops the connection and finally says "searching". It does this continuously. If I make or receive a call, the call disconnects after a few seconds or never connects. Most of my messages say "unable to deliver".
    ive tried rebooting. I've tried reset to factory and restore, but nothing fixes it.
    basically I now have an iPod Touch at this point.
    the wifi works fine, but strangely GPS doesn't work most of the time.
    any ideas? I can't downgrade to iOS 7.x since it is no longer signed by Apple

    This is a secret plot by Apple to disable the phones of jerks.

  • Siri is horrilbe on 5S after updating to iOS 7.0.4

    I have just update my 5S to iOS 7.0.4.
    Siri sounds horrible...
    sound is not clear.
    sound is slow and mangles.
    before update this was not the case.
    siri worked as expected.

    Give it some time. The update installs a lower-quality version of Siri's voice that then upgrades on it's own in the background.
    Connect to a WiFi hotsport for a couple of hours and if it doesn't improve you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Yosemite not syncing texts after updating to ios 8.1

    I have updated my iphone 6+ to iOS 8.1 & text messages are not showing up on my Mac that is running Yosemite.  Both devices are on the same SSID.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

    Hi mdbrown2,
    If you are not seeing text messages within Messages on your Mac running Yosemite, you may want to double check that it is showing your Apple ID and your iPhone phone number are linked, as outlined in the following article:

  • Siri isn't working after updating to iOS 7.1?

    After updating to iOS 7.1, my Siri is no longer working. When I talk to it, the small line which fluxuates only moves slightly and I have to move the phone directly to my mouth for it to hear what I'm saying. To check it was just Siri, I called another phone and created a voice memo and they sounded perfect.
    I'm not sure if its iOS 7.1, but is anyone else getting this problem? I'm using an iPhone 5 by the way!

    Tuesday, I updated my Ipad Air to 7.1 and the samething happened Zacmoon happened to me. Siri quit working. Siri keeps sayting, sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Also, dictation quit working as well. I tried the Hold power and home button at the same time reset method and that did not help. Tried turning the airport button on and off and that did not help. I had no problen befor the  7.1 update with Siri. One more thing, I called Apple support and talked to Conor. He said he would check with Apple about an issues with Siri and would call me back in five minutes. I never heard back from him. Iam really ****** off!

  • 3Gs no longer charges in car after updating to iOS 5

    I got a weird problem after updating to iOS 5. In addition to the battery drain, my 3GS will no longer charge via a 12 volt car adaptor. I know the cable and the adaptor work because my son's iPod and wife's iPhone 3G both charge from them. The cable also has no problems charging my phone when it's plugged into the computer or a wall socket.
    The battery drain is a bummer, but combined with no longer being able to charge in the car makes this a killer combination.
    Any help with this would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    John

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem then the iOS broke full compatibility. you have to then wait for either Apple to fix the problem in an iOS update or for Honda to fix it via a firmware update/
    Have you contacted Honda?

  • HT1386 After updating to iOS 5.1.1 I can no longer sync to iTunes

    After updating to iOS 5.1.1 I can no longer sync to iTunes

    Any error messages or numbers given during the sync process? Does your phone come up in the device list?
    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing a reset.

    I purchased three autobooks from itunes last weekend and after updating my ios to 7 they no longer appear. I looked at my purchse history and they are not showing in my purchase history. I do have the receipts for the charge. How do I restore these?

    "I did make a full back up of my phone prior to updating the iOS"
    Itunes content is not incliuded in the backup that itunes performs.
    Audiobooks are not part of icloud and cannot be redownloaded.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception.

  • IPhone 4 after updating to iOS 5.0.1 I can no longer send emails.

    iPhone 4 after updating to iOS 5.0.1 I can no longer send emails.  I get a message saying the recipients "email address" was rejected by the server.  Incoming still works fine.

    SMS is a carrier feature, what did your phone carrier say when you contacted them about your issue?
    Double check you have MMS turn on in message settings.
