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.

  • The raise to speak feature on Siri does not work

    The raise to speak feature on Siri does not work anymore is there any possible fixes for this

    I had the same problem (iPhone 5), but the fix was simple.
    Turn off your Bluetooth.  Yeah, I know this sounds crazy.  Here's why.
    When you use Siri with the "Raise to Speak" feature activated (Settings/General/Siri), this enables the proximity sensor that lets the iPhone know it is near your ear, activates Siri, and turns off the display.
    However, if you are using a bluetooth headset (like I do), then this sensor is turned off automatically, because you will be speaking thru your bluetooth and not the iPhone to activate Siri and make calls.
    To prove this, do the following test.
    Make sure "Siri" is on, and "Raise to Speak" is on (Settings/General/Siri).
    Turn off your Bluetooth (Settings/Bluetooth).
    (TEST) Hold your phone in front of you, and with a natural motion, bring the phone to your ear (as if you are answering a call).  Siri will automatically activate, assuming you want to ask it/her a question (very cool feature). And the screen will turn offautomatically.
    If you have never used the "Raise to Speak" feature, this feature automatically activates Siri when you raise the phone to your ear (really a cool and helpful feature). It may take a little practice to get used to this.  I struggled at first, but soon got the hang of using a natural motion to bring the phone to my ear.  Starting with the phone in front of you, the phone should be "almost" parallel to the ground when it gets to your ear.  It may take several practice tries to get it, but you will get it, and you will be hooked on this neat little feature.
    Ok, with this done, this proves your proximity sensor is funtioning properly.
    Now, turn on your Bluetooth (Settings/Bluetooth).
    And repeat the same (TEST) above.
    This time, Siri should not activate, and the screen should not go off.  Why? This is because your voice communications with callers (and Siri), are now going thru your Bluetooth, and not the phone handset.  Because of this, their is no need for the proximity sensor, so it is automatically turned off (when Bluetooth is on).
    I can only speak for me and my situation, and what worked for me.  However, their may be other issues regarding the proximity sensor separate of this that I am not aware of.
    I hope this helps you.
    Man I love the "Raise to Speak" feature, you will too.
    God Bless You All.

    Siri only works when I raise to speak, but when I hole down the hold button and Siri pops up, it doesn't pick up any sound. How do I fix this?

    Try A and B
    (A) Restart iPad
    1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
    3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • My CD/DVD Drive Only Works When I Jam the CD/DVD in hard..?

    My CD/DVD drive only works when I stuff the CD/DVD in the drive EXTRA hard. If I just try to put in with normal force (that at one time worked) it spins the disc around, makes a spinning noise, and then ejects it. I'm taking it to the Apple Store soon. What should I expect to be wrong and is it fixable? Please share details. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like the spring that loads the drive has gotten jammed by something. This can often happen if you use CDs with sticky labels, or do anything to label the discs directly. As a result of issues like these, I've not labeled any discs directly, and instead store the in jewelcases, and purchase them prepackaged in jewelcases to avoid such issues.

  • Occasionally,  some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other  images cannot be opened with a double click.  They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard.  They also cannot be moved to collecti

    Occasionally,  some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other  images cannot be opened with a double click.  They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard.  They also cannot be moved to collections.  Anyone have a solution for this?

    When you say  "could not be opened"- what are you referring to?  A double click of the mouse should view the clicked image in Loupe view- the same as pressing [E] on the keyboard for an enlarged view. (And a second double-click will take you back to library grid view.)
    To "open" an image in the Development module requires you to select the image then press [D] or click on the [Develop] button.
    When you say "could not be ...moved" -what are you referring to?  Are you trying to move an image file from its place in a folder to another folder? Are you just wanting it in a collection? When you drag an image to a collection you are only placing a link to the image in the collection- not actually moving any file. The image will stay exactly where it is in its original folder and will remain as a thumbnail preview in the Library Grid view.
    Are you having any "mouse" problems that may be changing its actions in LR ?
    Do you see an exclamation mark on any image borders ?
    Let's keep working on this. I am curious to see you find an answer.

  • ISight only works when it's the ONLY firewire device?

    I have connected the iSight to both the firewire 400 and firewire 800 ports. It only works when it is the only device connected to the port.
    If I connect it to a hard drive, it works if and only if the hard drive is off. When I turn the drive on, the iSight ceases functioning. When I connect it to a hub, it works if and only if there are no other devices connected to the hub that are on.
    Is there a trick to getting the iSight working with other devices?

  • I'm having trouble with the raise to speak feature for siri. Please help

    So I just got the Iphone 4s the other day and looked at a bunch of forums on how to use the raise to speak option but none of them have worked for me. I tried slowly raising it to my ear from a viewing position on the lock screen but it doesn't work. I tried the same thing from the home screen but it still doesn't work. Please help me. I would really like to learn how to use this feature.

    Activating Siri this way is tricky, and not at all intuitive.
    You have to start with the phone in front of you, held parallel to the floor (ie. held flat horizontally), then bring it up to your ear so it's vertical with a normal, smooth motion. Your hand must rotate from the horizontal to vertical position of the phone.
    If you start with the phone vertically in front of your face, then move it over to your ear Siri will NOT activate.
    They key is starting with the phone held horizontally. The motion from horizontal to vertical is necessary. It uses the motion sensor as well as the proximity sensor.
    This is illustrated on page 39 of the iPhone User Manual. I recommend you download the manual and look at the illustration and it will be crystal clear:
