Lots of user are complaining
that their new iphone 7 or 6s which were ealier able to give command from Siri
and Sir was responding to it. But after someday they they found that Siri is
not working and can't get siri to hear me. Actually when we 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. This is surprising that Siri only works with headphones,
but when once remove the earpods, siri cannot hear me neither the dictation works. So if we talk in
details for different combination.
Take iphone close to
ear-> Siri works fine.
Use Earbud with iphone Siri work.
Use Bluetooth ->Siri
works.
But if you use the Home
button Siri does not seem to work.
General trouble
shoot would be to make sure that:
1. Siri is setp up properly and activated
2. Hard Reboot the set and check if this
fixed the issue.
3. Set the volume of Siri high.
4. Turn off DND. Check it works !
5. Restore the iphone from backup(iTunes or
iCloud)
Else
you can move with following solutions:
Fix
1: Restart Siri
Go
to settings -> general->siri. Turn siri off click disable or whatever
message pops up. Then double tap the home button and close settings. Reopen
settings->general->siri-> Turn it back on. Then hold the home button
and activate siri while in the siri settings.
Fix
2: Slap your iphone (Gently)
There
are chances that iPhone software somehow triggered a recalibration of the mic.
The mic was turned to the least sensitive level. The hardware is fine in the
case and to fix the issue hold down the home button for Siri and as it is
listening thump the bottom of your phone with your hand, just a few light slaps
should do it.
Fix
3: Change settings
Another way to fix the
issue
1. I turned off Siri in
Settings>General>Siri.
2. I turned off Dictation in
Settings>General>Keyboard.
3. I powered down my iPhone.
4. I powered up my iPhone.
5. I turned on Siri in
Settings>General>Siri.
6. I turned off Dictation in
Settings>General>Keyboard.
Fix 4: Check for hardware issue
Very likely the chances
are that your iphone has a hardware fault in Mic. Even if your voice control is
working but still Siri is facing hardware defect as it uses different logic
with hardware operation. If there is a hardware problem with one of the
microphonesm, you should get it checked at nearby Apple store and get a new
pience in case the same is there.
