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

iPhone 4s arrived by mail today. Turned on Siri via Settings/General. Asking REALLY simple questions like "What is the weather?" and Siri has not responded ONCE with an answer other than:


"What was that again?"


"Sorry, something's gone wrong. Can you try that agan?"


"Sorry, I didn't get that."


"Uh oh. Something's wrong. Can you try again?"


SO frustrating and disappointing. The microphone doesn't seem like the problem, as it is able to record audio elsewhere.


Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Siri?

iPhone 4s-OTHER, iOS 5, brand new iphone 4s

My problem with Siri is that it won't give me lists of resteraunts in my area anymore. This feature worked in the store and when I got it home for the first few hours, but now it just tells me that it can only search for businesses in the United States and when im using U.S. english. All other functions seem to work just fine, is anyone else having this problem?

I followed the directions form this post:



"Have had the same issue for the last two days. Doing a "Reset All Settings" under settings General/Reset/Reset All Settings worked for me also. Tried, turning Siri off and then doing a hard reboot as some others suggested and it did not work - only the "Reset All Settings" will work. Not too much of a pain to do, all your email data, potos and music files are saved with no change."



I lost my contacts, but they were in the cloud and when i re established that setting, they were back.

I just recently came across this issue and it drove me insane! I read many posts where folks reset all settings & everything went back to normal. Even though that process isn't that time consuming I refused to acknoledge that as a solution....sounds more like a msft response. I tried various things and nothing worked. I found a post that listed a viable solution. Followed these steps and it has restored Siri back..


  • Double tap the Home Button
  • Close all open applications that are running in the background
  • Disable Siri within Settings\General\Siri (off)
  • Power Cycle your phone
  • Power up your phone
  • Re-enable Siri within Settings\General\Siri (on)
  • Test Siri!


Hope this helps other frustrated users!

I had been having trouble with *SIRI* since Yesterday , not wanting to work and telling me she was sorry and to try again later .

I read above , someone saying that they had to disable their WIFI .

Mine was the opposite !

Once I ENABLED the WIFI , she WORKED !!!

Thank you all for your information , cause it was a matter of trying what everyone said , and then doing the opposite with my WIFI .
