"why siri" doesn't seem to work unless we are charging the phone

"why Siri" doesn't work unless we are charging our phones, why?

I get that it's a safety issue and battery drain both, to not allow it unless plugged in but does that mean Google ("Ok Google") doesn't care about our safety?
It's poor implementation I think. Battery drain isn't at all horrible on Android when it's always listening and I'm not starting that argument because i like iPhone and Apple just as well but it seems like there could have been other battery saving things to disable other than one that's very handy regardless of having to be plugged in.

  • Siri doesn't seem to work with Find My Friends

    Siri doesn't seem to work with Find My Friends completely accurately. If I ask it where once of my friends is, it tells me it doesn't know, but shows that person in the response, twice, with their location. Anyone experiencing this?
    Also - I found a bug. If you dictate a note via Siri it will not sync with iCloud at all. If you manually update the note however after Siri dictates it will. It will also sync if you manually start a note and then use the microphone on the keyboard.

    Actually, I figured it out. For the person in question I had both [email protected] and [email protected] listed in their contact info.  When you look at them in Find My Friends see which one is highlighted and delete the other. Once I did that they only showed up once in Siri.

    I am not able to open any app on my iphone. While i'm trying to open an app it just shake the screen and it does not open and remains in the same screen. It worked fine until I charged the phone this evening. After that suddenly I'm facing this. Please can anyone help me to recover this issue? pls!

    This is covered in the basics section.
    A restore loses nothing.
    A restore does.  If you are using the iphone as designed, then everything should be on your computer.

  • Pdfmark code in MS Word 2008 doc doesn't seem to work properly to create Named Destination

    Hi all,
    I've been having trouble with creating Preview-compatible Named Destinations in Acrobat 9.x (see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/770470?tstart=0).  Distiller, on the other hand, appears to create compatible Destinations, so as a last-ditch effort, I tried to go back to my original source file (Microsoft Word 2008 document) to use Distiller's pdfmark functionality, to see if maybe I could finally get a PDF with Preview-compatible Destinations.
    Following instructions found elsewhere on this forum, I went into Word and inserted the following field into a test location in my document:
    PRINT "[ /Dest /testdest /View [ /XYZ null null null ] /DEST pdfmark"
    This field code is supposed to then cause a pdfmark to be inserted into the resulting PostScript and/or PDF files.  Distiller is supposed to understand this and turn it into a Named Destination called "testdest."  However, it doesn't seem to work - I don't see the pdfmark code in the PS file, and the PDF file doesn't have any Named Destinations in it.
    I'm using Acrobat 9.x on Mac OS X 10.6.5, so I tried this two different ways:
    1) Using the "Print to Adobe PDF" workflow (which replaced the "Adobe PDF Printer" from previous OS/Acrobat versions) - this automatically generates a PDF via (presumably) an API call to Distiller... and
    2) Using the "Print to Postscript" workflow to generate a PS file, which I then ran through Adobe Distiller.
    In neither case did I end up with a named destination in the PDF file, as I was supposed to.  In case #2, even the Postscript file didn't have a pdfmark embedded in it.  Thus, I'm assuming that perhaps this is particular issue may be a problem with MS Word 2008 rather than with Acrobat... but I'm hoping someone might have a clue as to how to fix it.
    I welcome ideas on how to get Word 2008 to properly output pdfmark code, so that Distiller will pick it up and properly embed a Named Destination into the PDF...
    Thanks in advance.
    (If anyone has ideas about the Preview-compatible problem, linked above, that would also be great!)

    You're suggesting that it was never fixed from Word 2004 to 2008?  Possibly.  I wonder if it's fixed in Word 2011?  Anyone know?  But is it really a Word problem, rather than a Distiller issue?
    I appreciate your offer, though I do have access to Word on Windows (2003, I think), so I could try Distilling there... I only worry about formatting, since there are minor differences (e.g. font kerning, etc.) between Mac and Windows that are subtle, but sufficient to create formatting issues for very long documents (e.g. pushing figures onto the wrong pages, etc.).  That would be a rather big problem.
    The question remains whether this is an issue with Word or Distiller, though... and whether it's fixed in Distiller X and/or Word 2011.
    Adobe, care to comment?
    I'd really love to find a proper Mac solution, if one exists... it would be rather a slap to Mac users if a solution doesn't exist.

    Is there a batch process that runs in the evening? Perhaps that ends up cleaning out the data from the buffer cache, turning logical I/O's into physical I/O's early in the morning.
    Can you check the statistics on the table before the process starts and after you re-gather statistics? Perhaps there is a nightly process that is altering the statistics at an unfortunate time or in an unfortunate way.
    The previous poster's comment about getting a trace file is excellent as well-- whatever your session is waiting on will be apparent in the trace.

  • Can someone tell me why a standard microphone doesn't seem to work with a mac-mini? Is there another kind of microphone I need to use?

    can someone tell me why a standard microphone doesn't seem to work with a mac-mini? Is there another kind of microphone I need to use?

    Most microphone output a low voltage signal that must be put through a preamp.
    The computer needs to have a line voltage signal level instead.

  • I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?

    "gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
    If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
    This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

  • I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer."  I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work.  Any help would be much appreciated

    I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer."  I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work.  Any help would be much appreciated

    Hard Drive:  The Hard Drive is on my camera (Sony Handycam)
    Just needed some info on what is going on with your particular system.
    Knowing the exact camera model will also assist us.
    If this camera is standard AVCHD you should be able to connect with USB to Mac with FCE open and use Log and Transfer without all the fiddling around converting etc.
    What FCE does during ingest is convert files to AIC. (Apple Intermediate Codec)
    FCE cannot read the individual files in the BDMV folder, that's why all the converting is required when you use that method.
    BTW: regards formatting drives/cards/memory on cameras; it is wise to use the actual device to format rather than a computer. This is a prime cause of read/write goof ups with solid state media. This applies to still or video cameras.
    Keeping the COMPLETE card/memory structure in tact is vital for successful transfers.

  • SetDocument doesn't seem to work correctly

    I'm obviously using the setDocument method for my JTextField incorrectly, but how? The DocumentSizeFilter works correctly, allowing only the number of characters I specify, but the DigitDocument.insertString(...) doesn't seem to work at all (it should allow for only digits to be entered into the JTextField).
              AbstractDocument doc;
              pafTextField = new JTextField();
              pafTextField.setDocument(new DigitDocument());
              pafTextField.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(30, height));
              doc = (AbstractDocument)pafTextField.getDocument();
              doc.setDocumentFilter(new DocumentSizeFilter(2));The DigitDocument class:
    public class DigitDocument extends PlainDocument{
         public DigitDocument(){
              super();
         public void insertString(int offs, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException, NumberFormatException{
              try{
                   System.out.println("String str = " + str);
                   int i = Integer.parseInt(str);
                   super.insertString(offs, str, a);
              catch(NumberFormatException e){
                   // do nothing because a user input was not a digit
                   Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
    }the DocumentSizeFilter code:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-1dot4/DocumentSizeFilter.java

  • LR5 's Adjustment Brush doesn't seem to work-does the New Radial Filter have priority?

    So why in the world would I update Lightroom in the middle of a job.?
    Before I was able to do in and touch up shadowy areas using (K) adjustment brush, but now it doesn;t seem to work. The radial brush does a good job for a defined area but for SPOT touching I have always used the the adjustment brush?
    Is there a setting or am I missing something or is this a bug?

    The presence of the Radial Filter in the tool set should have no effect on the Brush. It continues to work just as it always has. In fact, even if the RF is open (I sometimes hit it by mistake when I really want the Brush) and you click on the Brush icon, the RF closes and the Brush opens. If your Brush is not functioning properly, it is very unlikely that the RF is the reason. The usual first aid for any LR misbehavior is to close LR, remove the Preferences file from its folder and relaunch LR, allowing it to make a new preferences file. Not guaranteed to solve the problem, but worth trying.

  • My iPhone 5 randomly shutdown and rebooting doesn't seem to work for me, what should I do?

    It also happens when I'm charging my phone, and also the battery percentage doesn't show that correct battery level not unless I turn off and on.. I tried rebooting the phone but it doesn't seem to work for me, random shutdown still happens..

    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • Bridge Offset Nulling Doesn't Seem to Work With SCC-SG24

    Does anyone know if the DAQmx "Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration" vi works with the SCC-SG24 modules?  We have used our NI-9237 module in the past to acquire dual-channel load cell (thrust & torque) measurements, and calling that vi does a fine job of zeroing out the values before applying the load.  However, it doesn't seem to work when we try to take the same measurements using an SCC-SG24 module.
    We are able to zero the values manually, by using the nulling resistors and potentiometers in the SCC-SG24.  But, whether the nulling resistors are installed or not, we are not able to zero the values using the "Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration" vi.  Running that vi does induce a significant offset in the values, but it is not the correct offset needed to bring the values to zero.  For example, with no load applied, a torque reading before running the vi may be +1090 in-lbs, and be "zeroed" to -465 in-lbs after running the vi.  Running the vi multiple times (to check repeatability) always brings us back to approximately -465 in-lbs.
    An additional issue (not sure if it's related or not) is that if we try to run this vi to offset just one of the channels in the task (such as just thrust, but not torque) it will still induce a small offset in the other channel, which doesn't seem right.
    I guess I'm not clear on whether the subject vi is performing an operation on the hardware, the software, or both, so I'm not sure whether the SCC-SG24 modules may not be compatible with this vi?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hello Dhruser1,
    I think that the DAQmx Perform Bridge Offset Nulling Calibration should work for the SCC-SG24 module.  Take a look at this article:  Removing Large Initial Offset for Load Cell or Strain Measurements with SCXI-1520 or PXI-4220 in particular it mentions that using this VI in addition to the auto zero can introduce an offset.  If you're doing both these is likely the cause.
    Also, when you specify specific channels using the channels input are you also setting the "skip unsupported channels to false?  If not this may be why it affects other channels.
    I hope this helps, and if not please feel free to post back with an update after trying these things.
    Cheers,
    Brooks

    How to reset the iPad - the Location Services doesn't seem to work?
    I can not get NFL Game Pass or Siri to work???

    Well you can plug it into itunes and under summary tab hit RESTORE. This should fix any software issues that you may be experiencing. About gamepass, I dont know, I dont have it. Siri is not on the IPAD2. Only on the 3rd generation Ipad, so you wont have it(going by ipad2 under your name).
