Siri Not Reading Back Texts...

With iOS 6, I could dictate a message to Siri while holding my iPhone to my ear. With iOS 7, Siri just asks, "ready to send it?" I can't figure out if this is no longer a feature (which would not be helpful!) or if there is a new setting I need to enable.
Any ideas?

I am having the same issue and it is very annoying.
I used to be able to send texts by telling Siri "send text to xxx I'm on my way home." Siri would then read the text she wrote and asked if I am ready to send. Now all I get is a beep-beep after giving the command. I have to look at the screen to review the text. If I tell Siri "review" she gives me a list of available commands, including review, but doesn't understand review.
What is the point of handsfree assistance like this if you have to pick up the phone and look at the screen? iOS 6 worked much better for this. You took a step back Apple.
To make it more frustrating, if I simply dictate text to Siri it understands "review" and types it perfectly, but will not recognize review when editing texts as notes above.

Why does Siri not read my text messages to me?

Why does my Siri not read my text messages to me?

If your phone is locked with a passcode and you ask siri to read any new text message, Siri tells you to unlock it first, which you do by entering the passcode and the moment you do that Siri says 'OK' and starts reading your message without you doing anything else.
However if you have not set the passcode in your phone and if your phone is locked (which means you have yet not done 'slide to unlock') and you ask siri to read the message then you will hear nothing..there will be silence ..and then 'siri will ask you to reply or read it again'. If you want to hear the message then first slide to unlock your phone and then ask siri to read for any new text messages and you will start hearing your message.
Let me know if this does not work.

I search website I type "change label text icon", I saw many had it but it is jailbreak, I don't want it, because void of warranty
any fix label text icon?
help me?
Thank out
Richard

I am pretty sure that I understand what you are trying to do, but I do not know of any way that you can change the color of the text on the app icons. Your only options are black on white - or the standard white text labels.
As you have discovered, there is no way to change how the iOS works without modification of the device and you know that voids the warranty and it could cause even more problems down the road.
I'm sorry, but I think that you will have to take a chance on the triple clicks. The iPad does come with a one year warranty and Apple has built the Accessibility feature into the iPad knowing that the triple click will be used by people such as yourself. I would not hesitate to use the feature.

Custom Values not read back from Active area

Hello All,
Need help/ directions.
We have custom fields in UI, which are saved in Custom tables in ECC for reporting purpose. On activation of CR we could save these
values in Ztables, but when use open the Material for Mark for Deletion we are getting SMT Mapping error (Data could not read back to CR).
Don’t see any errors while activating CR , SMT in mapping and also API code program
Best Regards, Srihari Mandapati

Are these custom fields specific to Material or to the Change Request? If for the Change Request, then you don't need any SMT mapping. Please refer to this document for how you can enhance the MDG header: Enhancement of the User Interface Building Block for Change Requests.

How do you get Siri to read your text

I can't seem to get SIRI to read my text aloud...it's silent for a few seconds, then it asks if I want it to read it again??

Tell it to read your new text message. Or if you know who texted you tell it to read the text from Mike, for example.

Air App will not read local text file using openAsync/readUTFBytes on user (non-admin) mode

I am running an Air App I did for the desktop, from the actual installed executable already deployed in the machine (Not from Flash Pro / Flex dev. environment). For some reason the app will not read a text file stored in the same application folder unless I run my app as administrator from the OS.
When I run the app as admin, or within the development environment it works fine. Maybe this is related to some security issue? I read the adobe air documentation, and this should work...
I am using openAsync/readUTFBytes on user as shown here:
var continueGamesConnection:FileStream();
var continueFile:File = new File(File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("continueGames.txt").nativePath.toString());
continueGamesConnection.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, openSavedGames);
continueGamesConnection.openAsync(continueFile, FileMode.UPDATE);
function openSavedGames(event:Event):void
     continueGamesConnection.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, openSavedGames);
     var content:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
     var loadedContent:String = new String();
     loadedContent = continueGamesConnection.readUTFBytes(continueGamesConnection.bytesAvailable);
     content.decode(loadedContent);
     variableX = content. variableX
     //etc, etc.
     continueGamesConnection.close();
By the way, I have also, tried using FileMode.READ, and others, and it still gives me the same problem. Only works if ran on admin mode or from the dev. environment.
It's very frustrating, I tried reading other posts without any luck... What solutions do people use for this kind of problem?
I have seen that you can set the app to run as admin somehow, and I guess that could work. However, this should work just fine, since it doesn't seem to violate any of the security APIs of Air. Seems like an overkill. But even so, how do I do that?
You help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks kglad.com. I will try this and see if it works. Can you check my code a bit to see if it's right?
var continueFile:File = new File(File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("savedgames/continueGames.txt").nativePath.toString());
Does this look right to work across all desktop OS?

Siri and reading new text messages.

Why is Siri no longer responding "would you like to reply or read again" after reading back a new text message?

I never said there wasn't a change. What you expect and what Apple is planning or doing may not always be the same thing. Speculation is prohibited on these forums but, I'll repeat what I said before and hope you can figure it out: Apple has said there will be new features and improvements in Siri with iOS 7. Sometimes, features get removed for various reasons in beta products and are put back in the later releases.
And, since you've never beta tested a product for two years, you must not have used Gmail until rather recently.

Siri stopped reading my text messages

A few weeks ago, Siri stopped reading me my text messages. I used to always be able to say, "read me my last text message" and Siri would promptly read it to me, ask me if I wanted to respond, then let me respond by voice as well.
I was on iOS 7 and NOTHING changed, but one day a few weeks or so ago, Siri started just telling me that I "have no new messages" even when I clearly had new messages that just came in.
I updated to iOS 8 the other day thinking it would probably fix it.
It didn't. I can't figure out how to get it to work again.
I have not completely erased the phone and reinstalled iOS 8. I might try that, I just wanted to see if there's another known fix first before going through all of that.
Googling has turned up plenty of others who have had this bug too, but I can't find anything recently or anything that has actually fixed it for people.
Any known help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi DigitalDuderino,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know this issue must be very frustrating considering that this issue just started happening without you making changes. I would recommend working through the attached article’s troubleshooting steps to help isolate and resolve this issue.

Siri not reading new messages in iOS 8

Ever since I have starting using iOS 8, Siri no longer reads my new messages to me. In my car, with my iPhone 6 connected to my car speaker via Bluetooth, I hear a ping that I have a new text message (or to be more accurate, a new iMessage). So I ask Siri to read me my new messages, which always used to work. But now, Siri claims that I have no new messages. If I look at the phone I can see the new message.
If I know that the message came from Person X, and I ask Siri to read me my last message from Person X, it will instead read the second-to-last message from Person X until I go to my iPhone and launch the Messages app and read the message. Then, if I ask Siri to read the last message from Person X, Siri will correctly read the last message.
I see various people posting similar problems for the last two years, but I haven't seen any solutions. And yes, I have restarted my iPhone and that doesn't fit. In fact, I kept my fingers crossed that this would be fixed in iOS 8.1, and then 8.1.1, but no luck.
-Jeff

Well, this kinda solves my problem. I seem to recall that it would still suggest words (but only one at a time), whereas now it doesn't. It does offer corrections if I fat-finger something. Us users are never satisfied! ;-)

Siri Wont read my text!!

Hello all, When I get a text from Siri , and she lets me know i have the choices of reply or read it , she wont read it , how do you enable the phone to read the text messages?

Hi,
This might fix your problem:
Go on the Settings app > General > Accessibility > Speak Selection > On.
Now Siri should be able to speak your message. If this still doesn't work, you can go in your Messages app, double-tap the message that you want Siri to read, and tap Speak.

DVD+R not reading back on some DVD-ROM drives

The recording device is the built-in SuperDrive on my iBook G4 1.42. I've been archiving copies of my photos to recordable DVD. It's usually 2 copies of each set - one in DVD+R and one in DVD-R. I store each set in a different place.
My preferred media is (Made in Japan) Taiyo-Yuden media sold under the FujiFilm and Sony label. So far, the spindles I've opened and used are the FujiFilm (8x-listed) DVD+R (regular silver label) and DVD-R (from the "Color Tower" package).
The DVD-R recordings seem to read back fine in most DVD-ROM drives I've tried. I have a circa 2001 PC with a DVD-ROM drive, and it doesn't read back the DVD+R copies. It'll just whirr for about 20 seconds and then just stop without the disc mounting. All DVD recordings seem to read back just fine on my iBook G3 600.
Are there any known problems with readback of DVD+R recorded from OS X on some DVD-ROM drives? I figure I'm eventually going to get an external drive that also records DVD+R (I'm thinking that would present the fewest compatibility problems) or a new machine (it's about time after five years).
14 iBook G4 1.42 1.5GB (10.4.3), 12 iBook G3 600 640MB (10.3.9)

Just a note of interest. If your machine is 2001
vintage, my guess it doesn't like + media at all.
There are some reports that in some cases that these
older drives can read them sporaticlly at best, this
is normally caused by the poor quality of some
manufactures.
It's a Sony VAIO desktop with a Pioneer DVD-ROM drive. I don't know about "quality" per se, but it probably finicky.
I find that using the best quality media eliminates
many problems. And I realise that it is more
expensive to use this media but in the long run it's
worth the extra money.
Have a look at the Media Guide below.

Like I said - Taiyo Yuden all the way unless it's maybe sometime like video storage where it's no big deal. I just got three spindles of MIJ (had to look carefully for that) Sony 16x DVD-R for $12.99 each at CompUSA. They didn't have it on sale, but they price-matched the $12.99 price at Best Buy (my local store only had made in Taiwan stock). I was next to the manager at the customer service area, and she said I could have as many as I wanted at that price. If it were some expensive item, I think I would have been limited to one or two.

Siri not reading my messages?

I might be going crazy, but I recall that Siri is suppose to read your new messages when you received them and ask her to read it. On my phone if i ask siri to read a new mesages, she respons by saying "You have a new message from "name of the person" and that's it. Then asks if I want to reply or read it again. I say "Read it again" She repeates the same thing again. "You have a new message from "name of the person" then goes on you want to read it again or reply? This is somewhat inconveniant since I was looking forward to this cause i bike alot and don't want to pull over every time so I can respond..

I'm having this problem as well. Last night I was able to listen to the messages when I asked. But only for a little while. Then when I got out of Siri and tried to do it later/today it does the whole, "you have a message from ..." and then is silent, and then says "you can either reply or read again" and when I say read again thinking it will actually read it, it doesn't. what's going on??
