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 ended up calling Apple and they didn't have any fix so I scheduled an appointment with my local Apple store and told them all of my attempts to fix it and they ended up giving me a new one. So I don't know if the 8.1 update fixed it at all and from the description it doesn't seem that it has so your best bet might be to take it into your local Apple store. It took me like 15 minutes and I was all taken care of.

I Have the same problem, been waiting 4 weeks for new iPhone 6 had iPhone 5 before done all updates on new phone went to use Siri and he says he can't help at the moment because there is a problem please try later. Try later same thing, there's obviously a problem with the update must be, because I've reset my phone my network settings, wifi everything but still getting the same message, come on Apple sort it out, I've been waiting 4 weeks for this **** phone and this is all I need no Siri

I have a problem too with Siri. Often when I press and hold the home button, I get the screen with the microphone at bottom and the can I help you text but no sound and no response from my audio. If I reboot or reset the network connections it will work correctly once or twice. I also noticed that when it was not working, if I turned off my bluetooth, it began working again. When I turned my bluetooth on, it stopped working. Something here. When I turned on the bluetooth, even after I reconnected with my Panasonic cell to tel phone, it appeared that it was still looking for other bluetooth devices. Maybe in discovering mode too long?

i managed to fix this.


I Took it to my local Apple Store and they were confused with the issue too, both guys who looked at it just scrarched their heads and decided to try a full format. They put the phone in DFU mode , hooked it up to a Mac book in store and reinstalled 8.1.1 , guess what I now have Siri as and when I require without rebooting.
