Siri stopped working. Any solution?

razmee209, that was the first thing I tried. I explained this in my post.

This feature only works when your iPhone or iPad is connected to a power source. So make sure that your device is connected to power.

==> Not true. This would completely defeat the purpose of the feature. It worked without power before. It is supposed to work "mobile"! Anyway, I tried that and it doesn't fix it.

• Make sure that Hey Siri is enabled. Simple tap Settings > General > Siri > Allow “Hey Siri”.
• Make sure Siri have access to work in the lock screen. Simply tap Settings > Touch ID / Passcode.
• Restart your device.
• Turn Siri off and back on again (Settings > General > Siri)
• Turn Allow “Hey Siri” off and back on again (Settings > General > Siri > Allow “Hey Siri”)
• Make sure that your device’s microphone is free from obstructions so Siri can clearly hear you.

==> I saw this exact string of bullets posted on another forum. Tried it and it doesn't work. Thanks, though.

I just stepped through a complete factory reset and restore with the Verizon rep. Didn't work. Her solution was to give me a refurbished phone. Mine is brand new so I'm not ready to accept that yet.

Update: did a complete erase and factory reset... twice. It started working again, but quick degraded back to not functioning at all. Here are the details...

First, Verizon support rep stepped me through factory reset and restore from iTunes -- didn't work at all. Verizon's solution: replace my phone with a refurbished model. No way. Mine is brand new. That was unacceptable to me at this time. Maybe later.

Second, I tried a factory reset, but didn't restore -- left it at factory version (8.1 I recall). Went through the new iphone steps, turned wifi and Siri on and... voice control and Siri sorta worked again. It was flaky -- like only 3 out of 4 words, but it sorta worked. I kept playing with it and eventually it started working 100%. Then I did the full restore including update to 8.1.3 expecting it to stop working... but it kept working. Awesome. But it gradually started missing words and then stopped working altogether again. I got maybe 3 text messages and 2 Siri "find location X" map requests in before it started going flaky. Now it's back to as if my microphone isn't working.

I'm not alone here. I see this posted on multiple forums. Yet, the Verizon rep couldn't find any record of it ever happening. I don't see any acknowledgement from Apple that this is an issue. Can anybody shed some insight here? Anything I can try next? Go to the Verizon store? Apple store? A different forum?

Thanks and I apologize for the tone of my responses. This is pretty frustrating. Voice to text was one of the big reasons I upgraded to the 6.

Still not working for me and getting tempted to take it back and do the refurbished phone replacement. I've been reading a ton of posts from iPhone 6 users with the same problem. Seems like ~half of them find a fix that works... like resetting network settings, hard reset, soft reset, etc. But half still have an iPhone 6 that doesn't work as promised. I read about another potential fix that apparently worked for at least one person, but didn't work for me. It was turning off the settings -> general -> accessibility -> noise cancellation feature. No luck. Siri does work with my apple provided earbuds, however.
