Q: Help Siri and keyboard can't hear me

I've read several discussions on this problem.  This is what I've found:  I did a reset to the settings, which someone recommended.  This shuts Siri off.  The Voice Control can hear me.  Once I turn Siri back on, I can not be heard.  Shut it off, Voice Control hears me....

 

I've done everything short of a system restore.

 

I also have an ipad and Siri works with no problems.

 

Can anyone help? 

 

Maybe I'll have to head to a genius bar.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.2

    Same Problem.

    Siri and dictation did not work on the phone itself but did work with headphones. 

    - It appeared that neither Siri & dictation could not hear me (the wavy line did not move).

    - Lift to ear Siri works.

    - Earbud Siri work.

    - Bluetooth Siri works.

     

    I will restore the iphone, if it doesn't fix the problem I will take the iphone to an apple store.

    I don't know if here in Mexico they will replace it or do I have to go to my mobile company,

    Hey ! I hope everyone is doing well. Out of nowhere, I had the same problem happen to my mic. iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.3. My phone was in my pocket while i was seating, and sometimes I clean my screen my spraying cleaning solution on it - so the sweat (or cleaning liquid) could have gotten inside the microphone in the earpiece (next to the front facing camera) and disabled it. To test this, try recording a front facing video with sound. If it works, then its not the microphone inside the earpiece. If it's very low, static-like, fuzzy, or not working at all, its the mic. I tried tapping it with my finger to no avail, and then I took my phone, held it normally and tapped it against my thigh a couple times... it WORKED! AT FIRST, it made the sound a little better. Then I did some more taps and it fixed it. I can't tell, however, if the sound now has more "Hiss"/white noise than before, (like in all videos...there is that Hum") but over all it sounds much MUCH better. I believe it is back to normal.

    Don't break your phone people!

    one thing that happened to me was that i have an JBL Onbeat Extreme bluetooth speaker, and even if it is switched off, the ipad connects to it, but no mike or speakers switched on. And so when i try to speak to Siri, it doesnt work because the jbl bluetooth speakers and microphone are both switched off, and even if not, are too far away to her me.

    I noticed the problem also because it worked with earpods and not when i took them out. It seems the earpods deactivated the bluetooth connection, but reactivated it when unplugging the earpods again

    Try cleaning the headphone port out.  I used a piece of a business card and an alcohol swab I did just that and siri started working again. Make sure not to hit the water indicator with the alcohol lol.
