Why would Siri open and close randomly?

My iPhone 5 displays the oddest and most erratic behavior and I cannot figure out why!  Hopefully someone here can head me in the right direction!
A few times a week, Siri will pop up with her "What can I help you with" window.  I'll close it and it will reopen again.  Sometimes it even causes other apps to open.  Open and close.  Over and over.  It happens randomly or at least I cannot see the common denominator anyway.   I use a bumper with my phone but it does not cover or even touch the screen button.  
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!
Peter

It is possible that you are pressing the home button while the phone is in your pocket. If this is not the case then plug your phone into your computer and use iTunes to restore your phone. Also restore as a new iPhone not from backup.

  • Would you Open and Close DAQmx tasks within a function or Globally

    Hi Guys,
    This should start something.
    The subject is DAQmx Tasks.
    If you were writing a function that is called many times, say MeasureVolts (double *Value) to obtain a reading from an Analogue Input Channel.
    Would you.
    1. open and start the task inside the function, do the measurement and then close the task inside the same function.
    or
    2. open the task globally and later do the measurement inside the function using the global task then close the task only when the application is closed.
    I am mostly concerned with the overhead of task generation and closing, what do you guys and girls out there do?? and what is the general opinion?
    I would appreciate your views.
    Regards
    Paul.

    I would definitely NOT keep configuring and clearing (I think that's what you mean by open and close) the same task over and over.  I would configure once, read many times in my main app, then stop & clear once.
    I typically like to package such data acq into an "Action Engine" that keeps track of its own DAQmx task id so I don't need to sling that task id wire around into multiple parallel loops / vi's.  Attached is a very stripped-down example for Digital Input. 
    I would typically do more with error testing and would make the "Action" enum into a typedef custom control, but this gives you the basic idea.  The action engine approach works very nicely when there's a small # of different kinds of input parameters and output info needed to support all the necessary action cases.   When you start needing a large number of differnent kinds of inputs and outputs to support the desired actions, then you start having difficulty with (1) having enough terminals to wire and (2) remembering which inputs and outputs are meaningful for which actions.

  • IPad mini acting strange. Apps open and close randomly. Any ideas?

    My iPad mini acts strange. Apps will randomly open and close and I have no control over it. I have reset it to factory and started all over but it is still doing it. Any ideas on what I should do?

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Erratic app behaviour ( apps open and close randomly)

    I have a Xperia tablet Z SGP321with updated firmware to Android 4.2.2. I have been experiencing aps opening and closing automatically.
    It seems as if the tablet is sensing false touches. I am using my tablet under normal working conditions, not under stress as some other posts record. Please help

    Check this forum, there are similar threads. No solutions though.

  • Why is Siri opening and then stop listening right away?

    When I use the "raise phone to ear" feature of Siri I hear the beeping to indicate that Siri is ready to listen and then right away I hear the beep that Siri has stopped listening.  This happens when I raise the phone to my ear to talk to Siri.  Also, the beeping to indicate "listening" mode plays through earpiece, the beeping to indicate "stop listening" mode plays through speaker...
    Anyone else having this issue? 

    I'm not having that issue but I'm pretty sure it's not going to matter after today since I believe Siri will no longer work once the 4 S is out tomorrow.

  • Playbook opens and closes apps randomly, constantly

    I have a 32gig playbook that all of a sudden has gone haywire. The screen goes nuts like someone is inside playing around, apps open and close randomly to the point I can't do anything. I've tried reseting, 3 button reset, managed to do a security wipe but nothing helps. It does it if its plugged in charging or not, I've looked through a few posts and this seems to happen for time to time but very few people have posted any solution. I will try to reinstall the OS when I get home but with the thing going haywire I'm not sure I can get it to connect to do that. Is there any solution to this? What caused it?

    Here is the procedure. Read it over first, then do it.
    You need to follow these instructions to "debrick" your PlayBook:
    1. Do a backup of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software version 7 installed. It can be downloaded from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    2. After the backup is finished, unplug the PlayBook and on the PlayBook press and hold down the power button until the unit forces the device off.
    3. With the Desktop Software still open on your computer and the PlayBook powered off, connect the PlayBook to your computer once again.
    4. You should see an error screen from Desktop Software popup with the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
    Very quickly choose the Update option.
    5. All information will on your PlayBook will be erased and a reload of the Software will commence to install on the PlayBook.
    6. Once this is complete your PlayBook will go back through the initial (as if new) setup wizard (entering the BlackBerryID, etc., and then you can perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your personal data from the backup. Applications which you downloaded from AppWorld won't restore, but they can be easily reinstalled using AppWorld > MyWorld section of AppWorld.

  • My ipad 4 dropped and now apps open and close on their own

    My ipad 4 dropped off my lap.  The glass is intact but now all the apps open and close randomly on their own.  I tried to reboot it and it didnt workd.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    THANKS for your prompt reply  Bluetooth is off in my laptop and IPhone.. and in fact the reset is the only thing that can make it back to normal. But for a lil while. I wonder if it is the touch, or the home botton... both things are very expensive to replace, so I wouldn't like to spend $$ and continue having the prob.....

  • IPod touch aps open and close on their own and iTunes player starts up

    I have done four complete wipes and re-installs and aps are continuing to open and close at random even if iPod touch isn't being used. Random tracks begin playing while screen is locked and aps open and close randomly throughout. I've completely wiped and reloaded numerous times to no avail. Apple insists its a software issue, but it occurs with most updated versions and even if I have loaded nothing but the preinstalled aps to the iPod. The song tracks playing at random are never the same, and there's no consistency as to what ap is open when this happens.

    Send it to Apple or a third-party place.

  • IPad mini randomly opens and closes apps, changes pages on book readers

    My iPad mini has gone crazy, it randomly opens and closes apps, plays games itself, changes pages whilst reading a book, starts flashing. Tried everything, rebooted the device, updated it always with the latest software update and have reset the iPad as a new IPad with no success. The problem still occurs which is really enjoying. I checked on the Internet and I'm not the only one with an iPad mini with this problem. The iPad is older than one year, what are my chances of resolving this and how?

    I have this problem with my PDFs too. I'm using a lot of PDFs from the German RPG "The Dark Eye" (Das schwarze Auge) from their the PDF shop "ulisses ebooks".
    However, i recognized that I don't get this random black boxes after a restart of the iPad Air for a long time. But when it starts it's become very frequently.
    To remove the black boxes for a single page i can close the book and reopen it or just mark text from the corrupted page. Zoom in removes the black boxes too, but if you zoom out there are visible again.
    I also recognzied that this must be a problem if the iPads PDF engine and not from iBooks. I got the same random black boxes in a PDF which I viewd in Safari.
    I think that changing the reader will only help if it has its own PDF Engine. Don't know if this possible in iOS.
    Perhaps it's some kind of memory leak of the iOS PDF Engine, after this bug apperas only after some time of ussage.

  • Random mouse movements and folders open and close unaided

    The mouse cursor wanders around the screen, folders open and close by themselves, dashboard opens and closes, etc. Either a bit of malware or a hardware problem?

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

  • Open and Close Front Panel of SubVI

    Hi all,
    Running LabVIEW 2011 on Windows 7 x64.  I am trying to get a subVI front panel to open from my main FP with the press of a button and then close with a button press in the subVI.  Here is the piece from my main FP that calls the VI and opens the FP 
    Plots is defined in another loop and all of the loops are in a flat sequence.  I did it this way because I want it to start with the first press and not stop my main loop from running.  I have moved the item in the left loop around a lot so I'm not sure if I can run that in the same loop as the event or not.  Either way opening the VI seems to work fine.
    The problem shows up when trying to close the subVI for the SECOND time.  The code is here:
    As I said, the first time I open and close the VI everything works as I expect it should.  I am then able to open it again but now the "blank button" doesn't function and I can't close the window or even open the block diagram to probe anything.  I have been trying to figure this out for awhile, any insite would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Open and Close Shelf Effect

    Relative newb to Flash and not sure what the issue is but I have a shelf opening and closing effect  The timeline is 45 frames long and when the shelf is out it has this AS3 code in it:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    stop();
    ShelfOpen,addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShelf);
    function closeShelf(evt:MouseEvent){
    gotoAndPlay(17);
    Once clicked, the shelf closes and only a sliver of the shelf appears.   The person can re-open it by clicking the sliver at frame 30 using this code:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    stop();
    ShelfOpen,addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openShelf);
    function openShelf(evt:MouseEvent){
    gotoAndPlay(31);
    In the last frame (45) I have the code:
    gotoAndStop(16)
    which should return the shelf to its open position and allow the user to close it again if they click in the shelf, but it seems to be listening at at frame 30 and just running the Open Shelf motion again.  I would just like the user to be able to open and close the shelf as they like.  Any help would be apprecaited.
    -DC

    See if removing the event lsteners in the event handlers helps, as in...
    ShelfOpen.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShelf);
    function closeShelf(evt:MouseEvent){
       ShelfOpen.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShelf);
       gotoAndPlay(17);
    (similarly for the other)
    and make sure you are not using commas after ShelfOPen like you did in the code you posted.
