Same as with 8. I pick up the phone and locked screen is on. I push the home button and get the two medium pitch beeps. I say, "Send a message to so-and-so." Possibility 1, it says "What do you want to say," and gives the high-pitched beeps. I say a message with or with punctuation. It says ok and nothing else. I don't know if the message is sent or not. Possibility 2, I start to say a message and get two low-pitched beeps and have to start all over again. Possibility 3, I say the message, it repeats it back and asks whether I want to send. I say "Send it " or "yes", and the send message sound plays. These are in order of their likelihood.
Good news of sorts: I actually got to ask Siri the Woodchuck question and after an initially interrupted message, it repeated the whole response after a couple of seconds. So that's some progress at least on one front. Btw, thanks for whatever suggestions you have to offer. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Hall To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, October 20, 2014 10:08 PM Subject: Re: 8.1 Update Can you elaborate?
