I have tried
A.  Enable / Disable Siri
B.  Disable Siri, Turn Off phone, Wait 5 mins, Turn On Phone, Enable Siri

Thanks

  • Does Siri only work when connected to WiFi

    Does Siri only work when you are connected to a Wifi?  Mine does not seem to work through the 4G cell network.

    It works over WiFi or cellular.
    If you are using 4G cell network, are you using something like a Verizon MiFi 4510L to create a hotspot that your iPhone 4S is using?
    There are other issues with Siri that are going on - perhaps that is what you are seeing?

  • Siri only works when "Raise to Speak" option is activated

    Hello:
    I have iOS 7 installed in my iPhone 5 and I have the following problem:
    Siri only works when "Raise to Speak" option is activated. When I change this option and I try to talk with siri I do not receive any answer.
    Please, could someone give me an idea to solve this problem!
    All the best
    jc

    I am having this same problem.  The problem appears to be related to the microphone and must be a softwear issue.  The microphone works with other apps, and works when making and receiving calls.  It also works when I "raise to speak" to Siri, but it does not pick up any sound when I attempt to talk to Siri by holding the home button, or when pressing the microphone button on screen when in the Siri interface.  Is it possible that holding the home button to talk to Siri is somehow not activating the microphone?
    I should also note that I have tried turning the phone off and back on.  I have tried the reset by holding the home button and the sleep/wake button, and I have even restored the phone in iTunes, although I did not set it up as a new iPhone, because I am not interested in losing app data, call history, messeges, etc.

  • Safari is not working and siri only works with the phone not internet related questions.

    I have an Iphone 5 and for about 8 months it worked find, then somewhere along the line I think about the time I upgraded to the latest OS, Safari stopped working.  That is when I hit a link from email or open safari I get the browser window but nothing works, like its been blocked.  Siri of course only works with internal serches, through contacts and such.  My other browsers (crome, oprea and mercury) work fine.  I have been through all the internal settigns I can find, but nothing has worked.  Have cleared history cookes with no suceess.  Any ideas?

    Hello Mike,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with Safari after upgrading to iOS 7.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the apps that are open, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Siri ONLY working on 3G

    Hi, I'm having some trouble with Siri: She works perfectly over 3G, but when I try to use her over Wi-Fi she says that there is a conection problem and so...What can I do?

    I'm guessing there might be firewall and port restrictions on the wi-fi network you're connecting too.  There is not much you can do other than work with the administrator of the network to open up the right ports, etc.

  • Siri only works in "raise to speak"

    Just in the last couple days, Siri stopped working when I pressed the home button. She pops up, but there is no voice recognition. I know my speaker works because Siri works when I "raise to speak".  My speakerphone also works when I call someone. I have an iphone 5 with the latest (7.0.4) update. I also have tried turning it on and off while disabling Siri and Reseting. I'm guessing this is a software issue because my hardware obviously works in other ways. Help?

  • Siri not working over bluetooth..

    Hi,
    I have a Toyota Corolla 2011, and when I pair my iPhone 4S to my car's bluetooth or anyother bluetooth headset, Siri seems to take my commands (I still have to press the home button on the phone), however it gives me the error "Sorry, I couldn't do that. Could you try again please?" Once I disconnect the bluetooth Siri works fine. Just wondering if someone could help.
    Thanks.

    I am having the same problem on my Toyota Prius.  The phone works fine for BT calls, but when I use Siri to make a call via BT, she starts dialing the correct number, and then I get a message that the call has been disconnected.  I also cannot use my IPhone to play music via Bluetooth with the Nav system.  It works when connected via USB, but the Bluetooth selection is grayed out on the Nav display for music even though it IS connected via Bluetooth for the phone.

  • Siri only works when I use the "raise to speak"-feature

    Siri works as in the icon shows up when I press the home button and it starts "listening". But the microphone does not show any movement. So Siri "doesn't hear me". Funny though: When I just pick up the phone and talk, she understands me perfectly.
    - Siri via home button does NOT pick up my voice
    - Siri with "raise to speak" enabled works
    - Microphone works
    - no network problems (my iPad-Siri works fine)
    Kinda annoying. Things I've tried:
    - reboot
    - turn off/on
    - diable bluetooth
    Hardware:
    - iPhone 5, 64 GB, white (as if it matters *g*).
    I am kind of clueless. Any help? Anyone? Thanks a lot.

    Replying to myself. Believe it or not. After I finished this post, I tried just one more time. Guess what? It works. No changes. Siri got scared of the community, I guess. Very weird.

  • HT204389 Siri only works about 25% of the time after iOS7 upgrade on my iPhone 5. Is it really still "the servers"?

    "I am really sorry, I am not avail right now..."
    I understood this error after launch due to the servers being down, but I continue to have this issue when attempting to use Siri the majority of the time. Starting to get worried!

    I've been getting this problem with iOS7, but not as badly as you mention.  75% of the time Siri is OK, but it's definitely slower than with iOS6.  Usually, when there is a problem, I just immediately repeat my request and it works.
    Although the delays are small - it may take 5 to 10 seconds to get Siri to respond - the great benefit of Siri is that it's quicker to do things with Siri than by other means: if it becomes slow, then a lot of the value of Siri disappears.
    I hope these are just teething performance issues that Apple can fix in the next release.

  • IPhone 4S will not pair or connect to Bluetooth since IOS 7.1.2 upgrade, have done troubleshooting, on phone and with Honda Handsfree link, can no longer pair bluetooth devices with phone after un-pairing them

    iPhone 4S upgraded to IOS 7.1.2. Since then, Honda Handsfreelink would not connect, I un-paired and re-paired phone on 2 prior occasions successfully. Now I deleted system settings in car, tried to pair another BlueTooth (Plantronices M20 that had previously been paired wtih iPhone unsuccessfully. I have tried troubleshooting with Honda HFL, Verizon Tech Support, reset network settings on phone and I can no longer get the Bluetooth to pair. I was told to bring phone to VZW store. I was also told to reset phone to default settings which I do not want to do.

    How to Pair Your Plantronics M20 Bluetooth Headset, M20 Pairing Guide - Plantronics Headsets from Headsets Direct
    You have to reset the plantronics device before you can pair successfully. With my new iPhone the plantronics web site said to reset the headset and then pair.
    Your car dealership is best equipped to connect to your phone with your Honda. Physically go to the dealership.
    Good Luck

  • N97 not seen by Honda Handsfree Link?

    I have a new n97 I am trying to use with the built-in hands-free car-kit in my 2008 Honda Odyssey.  Has anyone done this?
    When I tell the Honda I want to set up a new phone ("Phone Set Up") the car pauses and replies "No phones have been found."
    On the n97, Connectivity for Bluetooth is "On, shown to all" and Phone Accessory Settings for Wireless car kit has the Default Profile set to "Active Profile".
    This worked with my N95 8GB NAM, and the phone is seen, and does pair with, my MacBook Pro.

  • Siri on Iphone 5 only works with headphones

    I have an iPhone 5 64 gig gsm, factory unlocked phone.  Siri only works with headphones or when you use raise to speak.  When I attempt to use it without it doesn't seem to hear me.  I read a few threads on the subject and it seems this is a known issue.  Most of the time the threads end when someone finds a solution without the solution being disclosed.  Apps like Soundhound and Shazam seem to work fine so it appears the issue is software related.  I have notice Apple texting does not work with the mic either.  This is a very strange problem and I would appreciate any help you can give me as my iPhone is no longer in warranty.

    Hey W. Harrison Stone,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may have a hardware issue with one of your microphones on the iPhone (three in total). To help isolate the issue to software or hardware, it may be best to back up and restore your iPhone to factory settings. However, before doing so let's first try a simple restart/reset of your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the issue persists after a restart/reset, follow the instructions in this resource to backup and restore your iPhone:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Does the 7th gen iPod Nano work w/Bluetooth 2.1 Speakers?

    Does the 7th gen iPod Nano only work with Bluetooth 4.0 compatible speakers or should it also work with Bluetooth 2.1 devices?

    No one here would know for sure. Since the Lightning adapter is new it may take awhile before you see any. The adapter works with my Zeppelin so there are some out there that will work. It will not be Apple making it.
