iPhone 6 Siri won't work, neither dictation!!

I don't know what's wrong, since 3 days i can't get siri to hear me, i press the home button to summon siri, the wave line moves a lot as if it was receiving a lot of noise and then goes off as if didn't recognize anything, i've tried everything, turning siri on/off, reseting phone, reseting settings, i've checked the discussions and there doesn't seem to be any solution to this.siri does work if i use the earphone set that came with the iphone, but clearly there's a problem, and 3 days ago worked just fine!!!

This is not the case for my phone. When I downgrade the phone to iOS 8 Siri and dictation work perfectly. I'm on update 9.1 and it still did not fix the problem. Obviously a software issue on my end.

I have the same issue I can't hear anything when someone is calling and i can't ever hear him too. Plus, the red button in my voice memo wasn't accessible at all. Ugh

The solution is a hardware fix. The microphone for Siri also works for dictation. You can purchase a cheap kit from ifixit, watch their tutorials and replace the microphone assembly. 🙂

I am sorry to hear that, did you re-activate Siri after the reset? The phone usually asks you automatically.. After doing so, my phone was back to normal

Yes, it automatically popped up. But still no change.
