What's your most common Siri command?

[psiclne]

Calendar, reminders, text, sometimes I need to convert measurements...

I have 2 that I use a lot; "call home" and "set alarm for 4:25am".

Normally setting the timer for cooking purposes or sending my wife a message when I'm stuck in traffic. The former works reliably. The latter, eh.

 

[Sancho90]

and i'm curious, does Siri come back with the correct calculations?

I would say about 95% of the time 'she' does, according to my buddy. Its awesome!

Other than asking her stupid stuff and amusing myself with her answers, I use her a lot to compose text messages and set alarms and reminders.

wife uses her on my phone to remind me to get off computer/video games etc

For me, it's just setting the alarm at 7AM. For some reason, Siri always fails me whenever I try to dish out commands when I'm trying to show off in front of my non-iphone using friends.

Personal questions "What are you doing?" "Why" even though I never get any actual answers.


I don't consider the personal questions silly. I really want Siri to know more about me. What I do, why I do it, when I do it, and who I'm doing it with.

I'm ashamed to say I really haven't used it. Thanks for the great ideas!

Siri, make me a sandwich.

PS: It never works, pretty sure my Siri is busted.

Timers & Alarms... Great for parking meters.

Once you name your alarms, you can turn on/off or change by name, ie: change my wake up alarm to 9am... turn on my siesta alarm...

Weather forecasts, current conditions, current wind speed. Initiating internet searches. What time is it in [where ever]. What day does [any major holiday] fall on this year, or, in a particular year.

Texting is great, and extremely accurate -- holding the phone to your ear makes it seem like you're talking on the phone.

Overall, very useful, though I'm barely scratching the surface of what all Siri can do: More Fun With Siri Dictation ? Jim Rhoades / Crush Apps

"Call my wife"

-OK, calling Mike McGuinness

"NO"

"Call my wife"

-OK, calling Mike O'Neill

"NO NO NO"

"Call My Wife"

- I'm sorry, I can't find 'Papa Murphy's Pizza." Would you like me to search the web?

"NO!!!!!"

"Call my wife"

-Ok, calling James Blake

"NO!"

Then I reach over and manually dial the number.

That's my most common Siri command (manually doing whatever it is that she was unable to do).

Occasionally, Siri actually works, and that's a cool novelty.

ROFC. I have a love/hate relationship w/ Siri. So days she's a pain in my a$$ & other days are great. Although I'm from Oklahoma & live in Tennessee....I know I don't twang y'all .

Interesting....you really trust Siri. Some things are meant to stay in Vegas. J/K

I mostly use Siri to check the weather, set reminders, calendar events & make calls.

I love it when I tell Siri to "call mom" and it replies with "what Burger King do you want me to call"

 

[sherlock]

Mainly use Siri to turn on and off wifi, change the brightness and open apps. I also use it to check the weather and time overseas. I have it read my texts and call people too.

Siri

Usually to set reminders and alarms...it's a bit too unreliable for much else ATM

 

[TurboTiger]

Mainly use Siri to turn on and off wifi

Sherlock, I just tried this at my house.
I manually turned off Wi-Fi in Settings.
I asked Siri to "turn on Wi-Fi".
And she told me she couldn't find any hotspots.

Same reply when I asked to turn it off.

Any clues

The man is using a jailbroken device. There are a bunch of tweaks to enhance Siri's functionality.

I jailbroke and am using MyAssistant. Siritoggles also works. For years I was stock and now it's amazing I can pretty much do anything I can imagine or need my phone to do. I only use things that add functionality and diminish annoyances...
