RE: I gave out some worthless info on Siri yesterday, if frustrated, read on.
Hi John, I am not sure where you get this information. If I say Restart to SIRI it comes back and says OK, Sieghard, what can I help you with now? and it does so without repeating what I said. If I say Restart my phone it repeats what I said and then says I don't know what you mean by that. Apple may have given SIRI the ability to open apps which is very nice, but as far as I can tell SIRI can't do anything else in terms of changing phone settings such as turning on/off Airplane Mode, Bluetooth or WiFi or asking what the battery level is. You can say Open Settings, but I can't say go to Settings, General, Accessibility. Now if SIRI could do those sorts of things I'd call that real progress since I at least don't care very much whether SIRI knows who won the last football game and who scored the goals. Yes, I know many do think this is probably awesome, but you can't even say Redial to SIRI and have it redial the last dialed phone number or Call Back and have it call back the last person who called which I think are other very basic capabilities it should have.

Hi, Ok then that doesn't work either, it's hard to test things on a jailbroken phone but I'll try and find a way to test out these things or just leave it to someone else. Sorry for the misinfo.

Re: I gave out some worthless info on Siri yesterday, if frustrated, read on.
Well, just a suggestion! What you could do is post your find but say: Works on a jailbroken phone; haven't tested on non-jailbroken: or something like that. That way you can post your discovery but let somebody else test it on a phone that hasn't been jailbroken. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

RE: I gave out some worthless info on Siri yesterday, if frustrated, read on.
On a non-jail broken phone, restart, does nothing. Siri just asks so what's next? It is rather amusing to say reboot though, she says I don't where boots. If you say shut down that just shuts down Siri, not the phone. I'd be very surprised if you could restart the phone with a voice command without it being jail broken.

Hi Cheryl, Good idea, after you get used to using commands for a while it's easy to forget where they come from.
