IPhone :: Why Can Siri No-longer Make Calls Or Text While Locked?
Apr 12, 2012
It seems that after the last iOS update (5.1) I now have to type in my passcode and unlock my phone before I can use Siri to make a call or text. WTH? That completely defeats the purpose of using Siri at all for those tasks! Please tell me why this wasn't introduced as an option rather than FORCED on me. Or explain how I can get Siri back to how she was before, so I can make calls while driving. It is EXTREMELY unsafe to take your eyes off the road and stare at your phone while you type in the passcode so you can make a call. Siri was perfect before.
I have a 3Gs Iphone and I recently upgraded the sofware to 5., however I can now no longer make calls, the message received is 'call failed', all the other finction on phone seem to work fine
My Droid X updated yesterday and now the audio no longer works when I make phone calls. The person I call or who calls me cannot hear my end of the conversation. It will only work if my phone is on speaker. Has anyone else experienced this or know a fix? I have taken out the battery to restart it, but that did not fix the problem. Verizon had no solutions besides to send me a refurbished phone replacement.
I have an iPhone 4 with Verizon. I have the message plan unlimited. Recently after installing the update sometimes I can't text people. I can iMessage, and receive regular messages also. When this happens I can't make phone calls either. Full bars and 3G is fine. Everything works fine besides sending text and making phone calls. I have talked with Verizon. Go to apple and the give me a new phone because it's a software problem on my phone. Now with the new phone same problems. I have reset the network. I have turn off iMessage. Also tried reboot, and restore.
OK, the whole point of locking your device is to keep people from seeing your info or using your phone, right? So why does my Ozone show new text messages on the screen when the device is supposedly "locked"? Is there a way to not show that info?
I just upgraded to 8.1.2 on my iPhone 4S and now all my text messages have vanished, I can't send or receive text messages, and I can't make phone calls. When I punch in a phone number or tap a contact in my favourites - nothing happens. I have switched it off and rebooted twice - still nothing.
My phone will no longer make or receive calls and I can't text after upgrading to iOS 8.1.1. I've tried everything except chucking the phone out the window. I have reset it multiple times, turned it off and back on, reset the network settings, reset all settings, toggled the airplane mode switch, and done a complete factory restoration. What else is there to do? I can't get a new phone for another year.
I've been using Siri and voice dictation quite happily since I got my new iPhone, but starting yesterday it has stopped working completely. When I call up Siri for anything. Info: MacBookPro i7 15, Mac OS X (10.7.1), iPhone 4; iPad 2 3G
Is that work as design?Last week, I give my iPhone to my baby to play around, and she press home button, sifi comes up, she speak baby language to sifi, it is surprise me that sifi bring up some name from my contact list. I think this is security problem since people's can see the contact name and number without unlock the phone, also I tried and it is able to call. Is that any way that I can disable this when phone is locked?
i'm using a bold 9700 and i cant make or receive calls, i cant send text as well. if i attempt a call it will write call failed immediately. My network is not stable, it comes on and disappears at any slightest chance.
Though I am getting edge on my phone. Receiving my mails and whats app messages. I am not able to make calls and receive calls, or text messages. Is it cause of the hardware or the network?
I downloaded and used Siri Assistant on my iPhone 3gs for about a year. Loved it. Now, the app still starts, but continually says there is no network connection available? Has Apple stopped supporting the stand alone version just because they have now included it in the 4gs?
Also, does the 4gs have file send capability via Bluetooth yet, and if not, what are we supposed to do with synching our contact and phone information into our Prius?
Only way I have found so far is to copy my Outlook contact list into my old Sony Ericson phone and synch it with the Prius. That worked from day one, and sure beats the heck out of trying to enter each and every contact one key at a time.
Whenever I carried my iPhone in a pant pocket it would inadvertently activate voice control and take any further noise or touch as a command to dial the most recently dialed number. I know that this normally happens when the home button is pressed for a few seconds.Â
Yet, after I had disabled Siri, set the screen to lock, plus I had the code protection in place, Siri would still start up and dial phone numbers.Â
The only solution, that I have found in this forum, is to enable Siri, enable code protection and then disable Siri in the code protection menu. This is not acceptable.Â
My curve 9300 just randomly stopped working I cannot txt or receive texts or use bbm and when I try and make a phone call it says 7ut1 your phone is not activated on the network what does this mean and how can I fix it? I've tried taking out the battery.
My phone will not make calls, but I can still text just fine. I want to make sure if it's a network issue or if something happened with the phone itself. I have never dropped it and I always have the projective screens/covers.
is there anyway of stopping Siri from making calls? The problem I am having is that I use Siri on my motorcycle and at high speeds it gets the commands wrong. For example, I say 'play podcasts' and it calls one of my contacts.
Has anybody notice how ridiculously short the iphone 3gs vibrates when you get a text message or email. It vibrates for about half a second. So now I find my self checking my phone every 5 minutes to find new messages waiting for me?
All of a sudden while on phone calls, in the phone app itself if I try to tap the red END CALL button or hit the keypad button for automated service, the screen goes blank. I have to hit the menu button to bring the screen back up and try again. Can take 7-8 times until it goes through. What can I do? This problem just started. Also if I use Siri and try to hit the mic after I speak the screen will shut off the same way and I'll have to do the menu thing over and over again. There are absolutely no other touchscreen problems other then these and I use many apps and play several games.
