iphone 6: siri and voice text not working.

I did siri trouble shooting, and restored phone completely. Siri hasn't worked at all since turning the phone on (Sept.19th). Mic works - can make calls, voice messages etc. Is there something that I'm not doing? or do I have to get a new phone?

iPhone 6, iOS 8

I've got the same problem. Siri doesn't recognize voice, neither does the Messages app - I can't speak into speaker and have text rendered. That same functionality works great for Google Maps to speak an address. No problems in that app. And I can record voice memos just fine. I've reset all settings, and all other suggestions from this forum and others. Is there a permanent fix out there somewhere?

As a follow-up to my own post, I took my iPhone 6 to the local Apple store and the tech said that replacing the display screen would fix the problem and cost me $109. When I questioned why the display was the fix he said the mic is connected through it. Being the skeptic that I am, I refused to pay $109 for a 'potential' fix and decided to live with the problem until I could replace the phone in February at a discounted price.


Yesterday I downloaded and installed iOS 10 and voila, Siri is working again. I'm taking my wife out for a nice dinner tonight with the $109 I saved. 😁
