Siri is not working AT ALL on new iphone 4s. Anyone else having trouble?

On friday, Siri worked fairly well.. Spotty most of the weekend.. Monday morning: no connection

.. I chalked it up to people showing off at work swamping the servers. Monday afternoon: worked like a dream. Sent 50 texts, set up my whole week on the calendar, and set several reminders without even looking at my phone. Today: NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!!! Not one command. It's a wicked tease. :-/

I have used macs for professional audio post for over 10 years. This is my first support post..

Hannahat I tried your suggestion and it worked.

Worked great until today, now not at all.

Crap. I really got use to using it.

I tried all these suggestions earlier Saturday when the problem first started, none ever worked. I just waited and starting Sunday, everything was perfect again. Some of us are using it at work. I'd suggest people to stop breaking their phones down and resetting everything and just wait.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset all network connections

Voila?

If == Not ( Voila ) Try again later, there's millions of people spamming the Siri network with, ' Siri, do I make j00 *****? "

Well, after seeing my wife's iPhone work just fine with Siri while mine continued to experience network issues, I decided this wasn't a server issue. Resetting alone with Siri set to off did not work. However, an old iPad trick did work.

I cleared out the multi-tasking bar (when you double tap the home button), turned off the phone and back on again and it works like a champ.

Thanks!! That worked!!

I have my Siri back. (Ewww that sounded creepy)

Siri definitely only seems to work on 3G. Absolutely hopeless for me. It would work on Wi-Fi but that isn't a lot of use. Also, responses from a simple Siri request are taking up to 70 seconds. Siri is totally unusable ..... ALSO Battery Life on my 4S is totally unacceptable. I am a fairly light user and would not expect to be re-charging before the end of the day. All in all this was a VERY poor investment. I think I will probably get a refund and go buy a Blackberry. Not so much fun but will be a much much better phone. HOPELESS!!

Anyone that declares they have a fix for the Siri network problem are in for a rude awakening when Siri fails again. It's a problem on Apple's end... there's nothing one can do that will fix it at the phone end. Those that get apparent success by resetting or doing a rain dance simply got a good network connection into Apple's servers when they rebooted or reset or danced. It's time for Apple to get out front of this issue, admit it and offer some hope or expectation.

My only issue so far with Siri is that it will not read my text..

I've tried doing a restore in iTunes and still having the same issue.. Ugh it is frustrating >{

@Vnic85

Siri will only read the text message if you are in handsfree mode. If you are linked via bluetooth to a handsfree device (such as a car handsfree system or bluetooth ear piece), or if you have the ear buds plugged into the headphones jack, Siri will then assume you are "handsfree" and begin reading your text messages to you.

To do a test yourself..... Plug your earbuds in and send yourself a test text message. Siri will read the message back to you before asking you if you want to send. When you receive your own text, hit the mic button for Siri and say, "read text." She will read you the new message.

If you tell Siri to read your text messages, she'll read new ones even if you are not in hands free mode. I haven't figured out a way to get her to read old text messages though.

If you go to settings, general, and turn "speak selection" on then she will read anything that is highlighted... so you just double click a text she will read it to you. or something on the internet or whatever is highlighted she will read to you.

Has anyone had the problem where Siri always talks and you can't scroll up or down??

I can't get Siri to dial local numbers but it will dial international numbers i.e to the UK. It did call my husbands mobile once but hasnt worked since. It obeys other commands but it just says it can't dial any local number. Is anyone else having a similar problem. I have even tried putting the international code in front of our local numbers but this didn't fix the problem.
