siri can't take any requests right now

OK just wanted to share this, I could only get siri to work on 3G...

It used to work on my wifi but then I started to have loads of problems, it would work for half a request, and then that was it.

I now have siri working on wifi perfectly, no hassles at all.

To do this I had to cahnge the channel on my router. My router was conflicting with other wireless

routers in my area. I was on channel 1, changed it to channel 6 and still conflicted with others, so I

changed it to channel 13.... and its worked perectly ever since!!!

Yayyy for Siri! lol (its about time!)

I just turned my phone off then turned it back on. It wasnt just my siri that wasnt working, it was my 3g on all my apps as well. restarting my phone fixed the problem

I did the same thing but added a step turn Siri off then reboot then turn Siri on then reboot then try it and it should work!

This worked for me. Turn off Siri, reboot then turn it back on. Thanks ferna1975.

This is what I did and it worked fine... First turn siri off and then back on by going to settings then clicking general then going to siri. Then keep saying "HI SIRI" every couple hours until it works. This may take a couple days. It is ok if you don't say Hi every two hours (you are allowed to sleep). The more you say it the quicker it will work. This is just what worked for me.

Hi,

I have just bought a new 4S 64GB. I have yet to have a positive response from siri. I purchased the phone after my positive experience with a new iPad. The silence from Apple in conjunction with the rebooting, restarting, resetting and trying again and again as evidenced on this forum does sadly remind me of the 3.1 days of windows. Sadly.

The post will probably be deleted, but that's my opinion.

Let's hope the next update either removes the gimic, or at least gives a responsible error message explaining the problem in more detail so we can give up sooner.

Same problem here. Tried everything, Apple Support (telephone support) tried everything and Siri never worked for me, I bought this 4S factory unlocked on Chicago-IL Apple Store last monday. I hope Apple come up with some answers soon.

Hey Coke,

All I can say is "me too!". The most frustrating thing is that I have several colleagues with new phones. Identical phones, and theirs all work fine, same network settings and provider. Very weird.

Good Luck.

I'll keep you guys updated.

Try out this temp fix to get it working on wifi and please report the issue to Apple. So that they re aware so many of us are having this problem.

Go to settings>wifi... go to connected wifi network's advanced option by clicking the blue arrow and enter one of these DNS settings in the DNS field i.e 208.67.220.220 or 208.67.222.222 or Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).

Do tell the Apple Customer Care that this is how you ve got it to work by entering these specific DNS settings and that it only works on wifi.

Hopefully this would make them aware that there is this specific issue and we can get it working on 3G soon.

Thanks..

p.s This is assuming you tried everything else like disabling enabling siri, resting settings etc.and still didnt work

This solved my problem!! THANX A LOT. All the other fixes, reset network, reset settings, full restore did nothing. I just replaced the wifi dns with the google dns and it worked perfectly.

Guys call up the Apple Customer Care in the country your iphone is from and report this issue as they're the only ones who are entitled to really help you out and to take the issue seriously and even note it in their systems that you are even having this issue. They help you out way better that any stores do( is what feel). This would also tell them that lot of us are facing this problem and maybe get their severs rectified ( or whatever it requires) .

Please call them and report .. thanks

Thx u so much random08 ,

U were the only one who helped me to solve the problem !!

Siri now works completely fine on my iphone.

:)

I'm getting sick of this message especially because I'm in Los Angeles with 5 bars LTE and on WiFi with 60 megabits at the same time. ***.

After turning Siri off, then on, resetting network settings, doing a hard shut down, I finally RESET ALL SETTINGS, and it worked for me. Just am having to re-do all my settings over the last couple of days, but now working :)
