Did the over the air update for Beta 3 and now Siri is like high or something. Every time she pops up, she turns off seconds later. What's the problem?
Got a tip for us?

Is Siri only not working for me?

Works fine for me, I recommend turning Siri off then back on OR tapping "Reset All Settings" and "Setup as new iPhone"
It will just reset the Settings application and WILL keep all of your information. Just don't hit "Erase All Content and Settings." That's bad.. usually.

Dear God I feel stupid. "Disable Siri" worked fine. Thanks a lot
Lucky. I've disabled and reenabled Siri, along with multiple soft resets to no avail. Currently restoring to see if that does it.
having the same problem!! I even restored! I'm going to try settings reset now though.
Yeah, you can try calling Apple, but you'll most likely get the "Siri is still in beta" excuse.

Quick question, did you do a clean/fresh restore or did you do a Restore from Backup?

Also noteworthy, if you started using Siri and didn't let the phone finish loading the result (shut off the phone, hit the home button to do something else, tapped on a notification that popped up, etc.) you may have to say "Cancel" to make Siri stop performing the previous task.

Updated to iOS 6 beta 3 using Over-The-Air update, absolutely no trouble using Siri. Even checked the weather.

You're very much welcome, I happened upon that solution myself when helping customers. It works more often than not.

What do you mean by "soft reset"? Home button and power button? If so, I don't recommend that, it can corrupt the file system and cause more problems. The only time that solution is warranted is when the phone is frozen or when it looks like the phone is dead and won't turn on (even though you've charged it).

I also just tried that trick on my first gen iPad which had been very slow lately and speedwise it has improved so much! once again, thanks!!!

Same. Tried soft reset (not hard), turning siri on and off a couple of times, resetting all settings (had to do a lot of fixing changed settings, including creating new wallpapers).
All to no avail. She just keeps spinning.
Resetting all settings appeared to have worked for a while, but now Siri has gone back to not working again.
I'm exactly the same - Siri works great on my iPad - but on my iPhone it just doesn't work anymore (since I've upgraded to Beta 3)
I've tried resetting the Network Settings & Rebooting etc. but poor Siri will just not talk to me anymore
I have a theory... I read something about Siri token on the servers, who update every day. Maybe we just have to wait 24 hours and then she talks to us again.
Siri worked at the morning, but had no iOS 6 features. I reactivated and nothing worked anymore. Downgrade to beta2 works, but on Beta 3 she has to ambition to talk to me. Let's wait 24 hours and we will see..

exactly what mine is doing. updated to beta 3 OTA and Siri just keeps spinning.
Update: Did "reset all settings" and she is back. We'll see if this lasts.

No, that's "Erase All Content and Settings"
"Reset All Settings" just resets the Settings application.
Tip - read farther up when I explained this the first time.
