So I downloaded iOS 8 for my mother's 5c. Siri worked well via voice command on the charger. Actionable notifications worked well on the lock screen with sms, imessage.

Problem is that when I downloaded it on my 5s, voice Siri dos not work even though I selected it to work in the settings. Also, on the lock screen, i get the option to X out a notification, but i cannot reply from that same lock screen. Anyone have an idea what gives here?

I looked at all setting line by line on both phones and everything is exactly the same. Only difference is that i updated here's OTA and mine i did through iTunes.
