    Basic troubleshooting for the device is reset, restart, restore.

    Has any of this been tried?

    No. I was hoping to avoid doing that. It's a pain in the a***!!

    No... refusing to do a simple restart or reset is a PITA when user's cannot be bothered to take 15-20 seconds.  Doing a reset or restart of the device has NO affect on your data.  Neither does a restore from backup, it just takes longer.

     

    Do basic troubleshooting or live with it.

    I've done restarts and resets and just may have to take time to do a restore.

     

    To get everything back to how I like is a PITA.

     

    No big deal. Just looking for other options.

     

    Have a great Memorial Day week-end!!!

    Try all of these:

     

    ~ Settings > General > Siri > ON - OFF > OFF > ON - OFF > ON

     

    ~ Hold in Home + Lock button: Ingore Red Bar: Let go when apple logo appears: Try Siri.

     

    ~ Software Update? This is if your phone isnt running on 5.1.1~

     

    Under iOS 5.1:

     

    (Using Computer) Open iTunes > Connect iPhone > Click on the label that says (Name)'s iPhone > Software Update

     

    iOS 5.1 and over:

     

    Settings > General > Software Update

     

     

    If that doesn't work, (on iPhone) call 611 and tell apple what's going on.

     

    Thank you,
