I have a Verizon iPhone 5 connected to a very fast LTE in the Tampa area, Siri have been taking way too long to even dial a phone number, its doing it on both wifi and LTE, is that normal? once it works its accurate though, any ideas?
Thanks
iPhone 5, iOS 6
i am on ATT. for me, siri works about 80% of the time, regardless if i am on wifi or not. i would say about half of the time it works, it takes a very long time (1 minute+) to receive a response. the other half is usually pretty quick (3-5 seconds). i want to say that off peak hours are better. the times it does not work are usually long pauses followed by the standard siri msg stating she does not know what i mean, etc.
calling a number by voice dialing is excruciating - i had an apple 4 previously without siri and it worked very well, i am debating disabling the siri feature, but will give it another week to see if it is just mass congestion of the new devices on the market.
Mine to has been working quickly. Im loving Siri on LTE. Every once in awhile there's a hang up. But she works way more then she doesn't.
I have been having the exact same issue with my 5. Siri will simply sit there and load and show what I have said. I usually give up after about ten seconds and try again. But it works probably 75% if the time. Restarting my phone typically helps. I believe this is a software issue that Apple will need to address. I spoke to someone with a 4s and they have had the same issue for months. I have Verizon LTE and I am located in Nashville, TN. I hope this is something that is fixed very soon as I am highly dependent on voice commands.
i was going thru the same frustration with slow siri(with everything...calendar, dialing, requests) on my iphone 5 on AT&T and i just fixed it doing the following:
-go to settings
-go to general
-turn siri off
-turn off phone and turn on again
-go back and turn siri back on
lightning fast siri!!! good luck!
I used to use an iPhone 4S. Siri actually worked pretty well for my basic use of the technology and would return results at a decent speed. I have been using the new iPhone 5 for about a week now and Siri is extremely slow to respond and often responds with an error message.
Very frustrating and made a few of my friends question the iPhone when I tried to show them what it could do. They said "Nice Results"! I hope a fix comes soon.
Very nice! I only got Siri with the iOS 6 upgrade, but it slowed down very soon after I began using it. I, too, believe it to be at least in part due to the massive number of devices added with iOS 6.
Although I did not power-cycle my iPad, I did turn Siri off and back on again (which deletes any information which has been uploaded to Apple's servers to improve your responses btw) and it is now quite fast. Hope it stays that way for awhile at least.

I bought 2 iPhone fives for my wife and I, and when we are sitting next to each other her Siri works fast and mine takes over a minute. They are both Verizon phones, and we were both on Wi-Fi.
I'm from the Maldives I have iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 but I have a problem with Siri too..I can only use Siri via wifi.my iphone 5 Siri is slower than my iPhone 4S why this is happening???
It works thanks.!
I had this problem and it turned out to be a problem with the phone itself. Apple Store replaced my phone and said they thought it was a problem with the microphone. If you have this issue, I'd recommend taking in your phone for an exchange (I know it's annoying).
Turning off Siri, rebooting the iPhone 5, and then turning Siri back on sped up Siri for me.
Same problem here. Siri slowed down a TON after I upgraded to ios7. Sometimes she even times out and gives up, especially in voice to text. I'm telling my friends NOT to upgrade to ios7. There are other bugs too. Sure hope they fix it fast, because there is no way to go back once you upgrade and I sure wish I could!!
iPhone 5 Siri too slow to respond
