Siri- "Sorry, I am having trouble connecting to the network".

I'm so bummed. I used Siri almost constantly all weekend and then this morning. I turned off wifi to test it on 3G this morning. It didn't work so I turned Wifi back on. Now it still doesn't work! Not once in the last hour. I don't see how it can be a network congestion issue when it didn't give me a server error at all over the weekend and then when I made a settings changed, Siri just stopped working.

I've tried all the "fixes" about turning Siri on and off, resetting network, resetting phone, etc. Nothing is fixing it.

I'm in Oakland, CA on AT&T. Waited almost 3 hrs. for my 4s

yesterday. Siri worked fine last night and early this AM, but around 8:00 AM started with the "having trouble connecting to the network" even though the phone is showing 4 bars. Is she on coffee break? (tried rebooting, didn't work. I've already placed my name in the Siri preferences. . .)

Any other ideas? (She was great last night. . .)

My issue started at about 8am PST, as well.

I have the same problem, it started sometimes after 10am EST. Tried rebooting, resetting network settings... Since all other internet functions work ok, I suspect the root cause is somewhere on Apple's side, as they are doing most of the processing in their server farm.

Having the same issue as everyone else. Started about 10:50, EST. Have tried the Network reset and rebooting fixes with no luck. I think Bill in CO is right: All these "fixes" are probably not doing anything and the success stories merely represent coincidence. Patience, I suppose.

Mine works half the time at this point. Of course when I try to show it off to the Droid fans, it falls on it's face.

Yup mine isnt working this morning either. Im thinking that theres too many people asking it really dumb questions and the server must be overloaded. Kind of aggravating since I bought it yesterday and hadnt played with it until this morning.

I just talked to Apple. Siri is down for maintenance. No word on when it's coming back up.

Its not down for maintenace, its just straight up broken..."maintenance" is something you schedule weeks ahead of time, and at a time of day when everyone isn't using it (late at night)...

When something gets shut down miday and only 3 days from release, its cause its straight up broken and they are fixing it...its not maintenance.

and the fact that they don't know when, means its def not maintenance, because they test maintenance on a parallel copy before applying it live.

Same problemo here. I got to work all psyched to show off new iPhone with Siri and, FAIL. My Android friends are not impressed. I tried all the resetting, rebooting etc., nada. Get it together Apple: at least put some sort of announcement on http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/ that Siri temporarily isn't working.

I agree. Just telling you what Apple said. They are calling it "maintenance." Obviously, they wouldn't be down on a Monday morning if it wasn't a crisis.

Yeah i hope they fix it soon. Its pretty bad when you go to show off how awesome it is to everyone and its not working. Then they just point and laugh at you lol. (Ill show them when its working again lol).

What the...? Now it is working! I didn't do a thing.

Same was working fine....now it isn't - "I'm sorry, I'm having trouble connecting to the network"

I realize Siri is still in beta, but none of the stated fixes have worked for me.

Back up here, too. Obviously, a server thing, not anything to do with our individual phones.
