Hiya. I've just updated to IOS 8 and found Siri can't hear me.
I've tested other apps and made calls and the microphone works. Done reset all settings and tunred siri on and off plus tried hard reset and nothing.
Any help here please?
iPhone 5, iOS 8, Just updated to IOS 8
Hi everyone,
Problem solved ))) I had my Siri go down where it (Siri) would not listen to me kept cutting me off every time I spoke and it did this for about three days, I had no idea what was causing this and it was so frustrating. Thought it might of been my speakers faulty and also thought it may have been a dodgy phone only a month old brand-new 7 Plus ....I went to Apple Syore in Sydney they told me to do the same thing reinstall Siri by turning on and off and change network settings etc .. still nothing changed Siri still didn't work (( well finally found the problem .....I went into languages and change to say French or German male or female changed ...and .......presto .....Siri worked !!!! but in German and French lol ... so I went back and changed my language to English not Australian and guess what presto it worked again !!! my Siri is working now perfectly but this time in English male and not an Australian male as I originally had ....so obviously the server for the Aussie voice went down (( or he was having a cigarette break lol ....and no one told Apple (( soooooo ...if you're having problems change your language to English Canadian Australian or US ..... problem solved )))cheers Andrew
Guys, I (think) finally found the answer.
It seems there is a problem with frontal microphone (yes, iPhone have one). There is one on the right side of frontal earphone (where you put your ear to hear) - if you looking to your phone frontally.
To see if it is, record a frontal video. If no sound was recorded, maybe this is the cause of Siri not work.
Although that, I do not have answer how to fix it (if are problem with cables, software bug, or something else). In my research, I'm believing that is a problem with one of the flats cable. But, at same time, this problem only appeared after iOS 8 update. So, I'm not so sure about my convictions.
Yes Rafael I can confirm if Siri, Dictation, and the audio from front facing video does not work, the issue will be the proximity cable. I had my cable replaced and everything is now working again.
Thanks - I knew my problem was Siri trying to go through my bluetooth stereo. But it's microphone is messed up, so it couldn't hear me. I knew there had to be a way to switch it back to the phone mic. I would probably have never seen that little bluetooth symbol down in the corner without looking for it.
UUpdate: Went to Apple Store in July. They tested my iPhone and determined two microphones were not working (explains the issues I had) - gave me a new iPhone. Now, 4 months later and past my original warranty, going through the same problem with the new iPhone.
Big help, thanks...strange how something this simple and humorous solved the issue (at least for my phone).
had tried several other possible fixes for my 5s and thought this might be a long shot, but back in business now.
thanks for your post, even a year later it was still helpful.
The "Answer" here is not an answer at all.
Does anyone have a true answer?
siri not working after ios 8 update
