Siri not working? This is a hardware problem. Bad unit.

Sorry to break this to you, but this is a hardware problem... plain and simple. We got bad units.

How do I know? I tested my wife's new 4s against my new 4s. Both are are set up identically, they are on the same account. I tested them at the same time while they were in the same place on the same wireless / 3G connection. My 4s SIRI hardly EVER works. Her 4s SIRI ALWAYS works. Never a problem. I am lucky that I have 2 new 4s phones to compare. The bad server argumet just doesn't wash. If it were a network problem NEITHER phone would work. When tested mines mostly says it can't connect to the network and hers ALWAYS works flawlessly.

Save yourself the heartach and demand a working phone from Apple. When you get one you will love it.... My wife LOVES hers... me... Not so much.

I am returning my 4s for replacement.

Got the same issue going on at my house. My Siri almost never has problems. My daughters - ALL THE TIME. It's not the network we are on the same network making the same request at the same time. If it was traffic mine should not work about the same amount as hers. That's not what's happening.
