Siri doesn't know my home address

well, I too have set my own card in the Siri settings, and I also experience it working just fine when I say "... work," but siri claims to not know my home address.

has anyone experienced this problem having never used google sync? perhaps sync does something to the home address field that makes it unrecognizable to siri, and maybe also gets copied over when switching to icloud.

torshen: have you tried re-making your own card since switching to icloud? if so and it works, maybe this is a problem best addressed toward google?

edit: grammar

I had the same problem but eventually got it to work. The problem seemd to be in the address fileds. As Home in my contacts I had entered in the format

house number (followed by) street name,

area,

city,

county,

post code

When I removed the area listing and left the rest it immediately recognised my home address.

Seems to be working fine now.

hope this helps.

Cheers

I had the same problem but fixed it by clicking on Country in the home address within my chosen contact card. It had 'UK' in there but on clicking, you choose from a drop-down list. Choose 'United Kingdom' (for example) and it may well work - it did for me :)

Did you try telling Siri what your home address is? If you tell Siri what to call you, she uses that name from then on. It is worth at least trying to tell her what your home address is. I would include your country too when you speak to her.

anyone have made sure both descrptions on the address both dont say the samed thing? i had that problem it was a pretty fairly thing to over look i played around with it for a good hour until i realized it. hope this helps out.

I have the same problem. I deleted all of my address and added bits until Siri said it knew my home address. I set some test reminders with Siri. They didn't work so I checked the reminders and found it was using a completely different location in my city with a different post code. However, there was an alternative on the reminder which is my correct address. I checked that and it worked.

So as far as Siri is concerned the home address in my address card is a completely different address.

Baffling.

I have worked it out, when I set my correct address it didnt work, so i clicked my address in my contact and the pin was off the road, so i dropped a pin on the actual road and added to contact and it worked 🙂

Woohaa.

Jay 🙂

Brilliant Jay. This is the first thing that has properly worked.

It created an additional address for me labelled address and still didn't work so I labelled my correct address "address" and the dropped pin address "home".

I too had the same problems as everyone else on here but I've sussed it out how to do it. Go on google maps on your phone and find your home or work etc on the map. Now on your home press your finger on the screen and it drops a pin with a blue arrow.

Click on the blue arrow

click on add to contacts

click on add to existing contact

find your own contact details and click on it

your details open up with the address you dropped the pin on now in your address field.

click on edit at the top right hand side of the screen

now scroll down to the address and click on the address description at the side of the listed address and select either home, work other or add custom label.

The custom label is good for anything else you need to name. I have all our branches now listed under say, wolverhampton brach, telford branch etc. This way I can get siri to remind me where ever I want to go such as " remind me to get my tools back when i get to the "wolverhampton branch". Works 100% every time this way.

Hope this helps you guys out.

This was such an encouraging post (dropping pin on map for your address, then adding it to your own existing contact info). Unfortunately it still doesn't work and it's very exhasperating! (The only difference between the address that I previously had and the new address that came from dropping the pin was that the latter said "New York" instead of "NY" for the state)

I tried:

1) "remind me when I get home to call xxxx"

2) "when i get home, remind me to call xxx"

3) "when I arrive home, remind me to call xxx"

4) asking siri "what's my home address?" - then it shows me the address pulled from contacts (but doesnt say it)

5) verified that 'my info' shows me correctly in settings->general->siri

6) walking around my property with map open and making sure that it shows me exactly on the pin.

7) verified that 'location services' is ON for siri and maps. Curiously, in order to make this work, I would think that 'location services' would need to be ON for 'reminders'.... but there's not an option to turn it ON or OFF for 'reminders'.

8) verified that 'Notifications' is ON for 'reminders'

My contact info is in my EXCHANGE address book. Shouldn't matter, should it? I don't have myself in the locally stored address book because my company has me in the exchange server, and I dont want to have duplicates (of me, or ANY contacts).

Any more ideas???
