iPhone 11 - Siri not working with bluetooth helmet

All my testing has been with a cellular connection, not wi-fi. Siri reports a problem with the connection but there is no problem with the connection because the same command issued direct into the phone rather than through the headset works fine. Clearly an iOS bug introduced with v13.

And it was a good suggestion. I would have thought the same if it hadn't previously worked for me. Restarting the phone definitely worked. There's no issue with the network, since siri works when you initiate from the phone itself. Even when you initiate from the helmet, you can see siri register your voice but words don't show, and then it says there's a network problem.

I’ve had some success going into settings and selecting reset network settings, and then rebooting the iPhone. Give that a shot, and that may help out with Siri than actually being able to interpret what you’re saying after you’ve activated her using Bluetooth via your helmet. Good luck.

I am having the same issue using my LG Bluetooth headset. It works just fine if I dial a number through my phone. Problem only exists when trying to give a command through Siri. It will either gives me the connection problem messages or sometimes do absolutely nothing at all. Definitely a iOS issue.

Definitely iOS 13 bug which has persisted thru 13.2.3

i find with my wireless headphones- Sony and Jabra that the Siri voice assistant function only works if network settings are reset every few days or if I shut down through settings>general as described above.

Very annoying and not related to the hardware.

Agree. I upgraded to 13.2.3 and this has introduced a new problem. Now, when I say “Hey Siri” through the helmet, I get the sound which I think means “ok, I’ve stopped listening now and I’ll act on your command.” This is before I’ve even had a chance to say my command. In the past, I had time to issue the command, then I got the sound, but then Siri reported back about the connection error. As usual, issuing commands directly to the phone works fine.

Same issue here using L1M in my helmet. Worked perfectly last IOS 12, "wait a moment.." messages started after IOS 13 update. Sometimes it still works, but it's an exception. If I pull my iPhone out of my pocket and use Siri from the device's microphone, everything works. BTW Siri could be improved a lot for drivers - for example allowing to unlock iPhone just saying pin in helmet.

Same issue with a Cardo Q1 bluetooth helmet device since 13.2.3.

When I trigger Siri, I hear the 'in' and the 'out' sound within the same second.

Impossible to ask Siri anything from the device.

issuing commands directly to the phone works fine for me too.

I test buetooth headsets every day. I have a lengthy pairing list. With iPhone5S and now iPhone7, an iPhone X at the office, etc. have never seen this problem until iOS13.1.2. I test many different brands of headsets to check firmware function of the feature to activate Siri. I am now having this problem with all headsets. That point to the iOS. Same headsets were working great to activate Siri before this iOS update. Has anyone discovered a real solution? Hard to find it on this thread.

No, as far as I am aware there is no solution to this particular problem. The original problem, which kicked off this thread, was a more random one which was temporarily fixed by Settings->General->Restart, but this problem introduced by 13.2.3 (summarised above by hervefromla) seems to be permanent, replicable, and is not fixed by a restart.

I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but I installed 13.3 this morning and it seems to have fixed both problems. I've used Siri quite a few times during the day through the helmet and there were no issues whatsoever. Has anyone else been testing 13.3 yet?

I’ve been running 13.3 on an iPhone X now for 5 days and have not had a reoccurrence of the problem. I’ve been using Siri through my helmet a few times a day. It’s too early to say for sure that it’s fixed but 13.3 definitely changed something for my particular setup.

I started having problems with Siri also. Finally 'apple care' replaced the phone. The replacement phone did it also but the problem with the replacement is that it didnt ring everytime, so this phone was replaced with yet another phone which Siri works intermittently on also. This was 2 trips to the "Genius Bar" for nothing. Not to mention the hours spent on the phone with Apple Tech Support.

I loaded ios 13.3 on my iPhone 7 and now siri works half the time also. I have a lot of time invested in this problem. Apple is using its customers to help them troubleshoot the phones for FREE. I've given up on a fix. Apple knows there is a problem and they believe by making us think they care will give them time to make a patch. When you call tech support for help, they know there is a problem but they wont admit it, they just square dance with you round' and round' until you tire and give up. Thats where I'm at... I have given up on a resolution

Same problem with my iPhone 11 on iOS 13.3 and an aftershotz Bluetooth helmet : when pressing the helmet activation button, the Siri black screen comes in but closes immediately. Using the button on the right of the iPhone is working. Restarting the phone fixes temporarily the problem but it comes back after a while

I have wasted too much time with apple regarding this. Apple's customers are now part of the development and not getting paid for their time. I am just going to leave it alone. Its a shame when Siri was more reliable in the 4s than it is now. Doesn't surprise me, the compass worked back then too.
