If you're not running iOS 8 as you describe you are not, and Siri keeps coming on, this could be a hardware failure of the Home Button.
Try these steps:
Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Why does my 4s phone mute itself? I've reset the setting like other posts have suggested.

    Why does my 4s phone mute itself? I also have a hard time hanging up after a call. The screen goes blank like it's in a sleep mode. I have to use 2 hands to make it hang up--one to hold the home button and the other to hit the end bar. I've "Reset All Settings" in General Settings like other posts have suggested. This worked for a short period of time but now the phone is back to muting itself. Why does this happen?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
    If you've been through ALL these steps and you still have problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple.

  • TS4079 Why does Siri say "I'm really sorry about this but I can't take any requests right now Please try again in a little while" ? Is she broke? How do I reset? Thanks

    Why does Siri say "I'm really sorry about this but I can't take any requests right now Please try again later"?
    I haven't had any trouble up to this morning. Is there a reset?
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks James, I just tried Siri again and it worked fine on two tests.
    Does this Problem happen often? I have had my Iphone5 for about two weeks and this is the first time I have
    had the problem. My 3gs used Siri to dial phone numbers or use the address book to dial and I never had a problem with it.
    Thanks for posting the system status page.

  • After the new update, why does my Bluetooth keep turning itself on? I keep turning it off, but it still finds a way to turn itself back on

    After the new update, why does my Bluetooth keep turning itself on? I keep turning it off, but it still finds a way to turn itself back on

    hi Apfelwurm,
    why do you say it's not normal.
    it always switches itself on after i update. it just did again, this time for 7.1.2.. i t also will switch on after a restore.
    i never use bluetooth and make sure it's not on for any other reason.
    it's been noticed by others too.

  • Does siri come on the new iPod?

    does siri come on the new iPod?

    Update iTunes to 10.5 then download/install the iPhone v5 update.
    Then press the "Home" button and SIRI should pop up in the iPhone 4!
    Unfortunately, mine's in GERMAN! There's NO way of changing the language or tweaking SIRI!
    No matter what I said, the language won't change and it kept on making phone calls!
    Won't be using this feature until it's fixed!

    why does a text banner pop up while in a text converstaion? only the sound alerted before iOS 6.

    but that only started with iOS 6. prior, the text tone would sound when you were in a different conversation. I like the banner but it's annoying when I'm already in the text screen.... understand the question?

  • Why does it come white when i take a picture on my Iphone4s? it's new, I bought it before 2 weeks ago. what can I do?

    why does it come white when i take a picture on my Iphone4s? it is not all of the pictures which becomes white, but some of them and it is not because i used flash. the phone is new as well , I bought it before 2 weeks ago. what can I do? please need help.

    First step in troubleshooting is to reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

    why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

    what does this mean ?
    Beta means it is unfinished, not fully featured and may have bugs.
    so is it not possible for siri to tell me the weather, and maps and businesses for Australia?
    That's correct. Nor will it do it for me in the UK. As it say's in the Siri FAQ I linked to:
    "Maps and local search support will be available in additional countries in 2012."

    your iPod seems to have the alarm set for 7pm. Go to the main menu than choose extras, than choose clock. The next item should be alarm clock. Click it, than choose alarm off.

  • Why does siri starts in the locked screen even if i don't allow it in the restrictions??

    Why does siri starts in the locked screen even if i don't allow it in the restrictions? if a thief got my phone he can hold 3 sec the home button and with siri he can call and do what every he wants..

    Thanks, you're my hero! :-)
    The problem wasn't about the Restricitions because they are really irrelevant. The Problem was that i didn't had this Option to turn Siri off in the Touch ID & Passcode-Menu because i had to activate Siri first.
    Here ist the way to deactivate Siri in the locked Screen:
    [1] Settings > General > Siri > turn Siri on
    [2] Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > ALLOW ACCESS WHEN LOCKED > turn Siri off
