Why does siri not work on my iPhone 4s?

Just purchased iphone 4S and Siri is not working. I have the most up to date software - 5.0.1 When I hold down the home button I get the voice control feature that's on previous versions. Any ideas?

It kind of sounds like Siri might not be activated. Go to Settings - General - Siri and confirm it's turned on. If it is, you might also make sure "raise to speak" is turned on, then go to your home screen and raise your phone to your ear. Does the Siri audible prompt sound?
If nothing else works, I'd do a current sync, then go to Settings - General - Reset and do a full reset. If that doesn't work, try a Restore. Here's a link for how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzyy4puapig You won't lose any data or apps, but you will have to reinput some odds and ends like your WiFi password. Good luck.

Why Does 3G Not Work on my IPhone

Apologies everyone - I am a real numpty with my IPhone. I have switched just about everything on i think I need to to enable 3G and my service provider says that in my present location the wireless service is excellent. So why is that on my top toolbar I don't see 3G - just my signal strength, service provider and a round circle then the date. I cannot get connectivity unless I am at home next to my own router. Can anyone help as I have had this problem now since I have had my phone and I really do need to get it sorted out. Any guidance at all is very welcome indeed.

Hi,
What type of iPhone do you have. I heard that 3G cannot switched off on an iPhone 4s, so if you have that one, it can only be a service provider issue (worst case: Your antenna does not work).
Did you try on a different location, like downtown?
If you have an iPhone 4 or 3Gs you can check if 3G is switched off: Go to settings->General->Network. At the top there is a 3G switch that should be on (blue).
Let us know if this works.

Why does iMessage not work on my iPhone but it works on my iPad?

I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1 and an iPad 1 with the same iOS version. I am traveling abroad so I am running in Airplane mode on WiFi on both. I have been using iMessage to keep in touch back home until two weeks ago it became almost useless on my iPhone. iMessage continues to work perfectly on my iPad. The settings are nearly identical minus my cellphone number not included in my iPad. I find that I have to close out of messages, double tap home, press and hold the messages app, and then close it for it to work intermittently. I have exhausted all of my ideas and can not find anyone with the same problem. I have restarted my iPhone several times. I have reset my iPhones settings. I have reset my iPhone entirely. None of these seemed to work. Any ideas?

Many are experiencing this issue right now. A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.

Why will Siri not work on my iPhone 4s?

I've had my iPhone 4s for a while now, actually, it used to be my Dad's, but I just realized hoe useful Siri was and I help down the Home button for a while and Voice Control came up, so I went to enable Siri, and there's wasn't even a Siri tab to enable her. Can I have some help?

Hello officialtgimc,
I read your post, and it sounds as through you need some guidance concerning Siri. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on Siri and some additional features:

Why does iMessage not work on my iPhone yet it works on my iPad?

For some reason I can't send iMessages on my iPhone yet I can send them fine on my iPad. Both have been set up using the same iCloud and iTunes accounts so I don't understand why this is happening. I have checked that iMessage has been activated on my iPhone and it is running iOS 7.0.2. There are no error messages, it just shows 'sending' but doesn't actually send it. But if I send the message on my iPad it sends straight away and updates on my iPhone. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi,
CTRL+P requires manual tab focus when printing a PDF within FF4. This worked fine in FF3 - i.e, you could just select the tab. Why does it not work any more? Thanks!

Why does Firefox not work here in China anymore, since January of 2015?

I have used Firefox for years, as the fastest and most reliable browser for me, esp in China... not anymore! Last month (unknown to me) a hijacker called Vosteran took over my Firefox browser. I finally realized it and got it cleaned up using Malwarebytes anti-malware, and downloaded a new Firefox... now SAME problem exists, even with Vosteran removed!
Firefox will not allow me into ANY normal sites, saying they don't have the proper security code. This includes my Yahoo front page, email account, ESPN and other common sites that are certainly NOT dangerous. So, WHY does Firefox not work anymore? It is useless to me here in China the way it works now.

hello rickinchina, first please make sure that the '''date, time & timezone''' are set correctly on your system and that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet (that's the "'''no proxy'''" setting in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'').
if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
* what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page (but don't do it for real) and inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
* which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!

Why is Siri not available on the iPhone 4

If Siri is software, why is it not available on all iPhones? I remember when the 3GS came out and we got video but not on older phones yet there where hacks available for older phones that allowed video. Is this the same scenario where Apple is trying to force hardware upgrades in order to benefit from new software when it really isn't necessary?

Siri is not available on the iPhone for because Apple didn't make it so. None of us users here know the reason; speculation is prohibited by the Terms of Use of this forum.
Regardless of the reason, it is NOT available except for the iPhone 4S. If you want Siri badly enough, get a 4S. Complaining doesn't change anything, and none of us here really want to listen to it anyway.

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.
Cheers

PSE11 Why does Sharpening not work in Quick or Guided Mode?

I have used PSE 5 happily and greatly liked the auto sharpen feature. I have been forced to upgrade to PSE 11 due to Windows 8 incompatibility with 5.
I am appalled to find that the sharpen feature, including auto, does not work in Quick or Guided modes. The small previews in Quick mode show the correct sharpening effect but clicking on them or using the slider does not transfer to the main image. I either have to go into full unsharp mask, which I hate for quick fixes, or use the 'adjust sharpness' option under 'filter' in Quick or Guided Mode, which increases sharpness by an unspecified amount on each click.
Surely there si something wrong here. The feature is there so why doesn't it work?
Any ideas would be welcome. If it isn't fixable I shall want a refund based on the product not being fit for purpose.
Thanks
dlgoodyear

Thanks for confirming that it should work ok. I've now done the obvious and uninstalled/reinstalled and it's fine now.
