Siri NOT working... Siri-ously!

Siri listens to commands but just times out, wont give me a response. is there like a Siri status somewhere on the Apple site? so we know if others are being affected or if its just my handset

Anyone else notice if u ask Siri the usual questions like "call Andrew" or "what's the weather like today?" even at speed Siri understands u perfectly. Whereas if u ask it an unusual question u have to talk to it really slowly and even then it makes mistakes. It's almost as if apple have included the basic questions in different accents at different speeds so Siri can understand you perfectly, making it look like it works properly.

Do you realize the ramifications of this? I was in my car, expecting to use the "Call person name, mobile" command and I could no longer do handsfree dialing. It said the "network was unavailable".


Siri now apparently requires network connectivity to do basic voice commands. It also requires Siri's servers to stay online 100% of the time.


This is going to cause atleast a few car crashes due to this loss of capability. I want my old handsfree dialing back so I can keep my eyes on the road!


Apple really messed up here. It should revert back to the old voice control engine in the event that SIRI is down.
