Did you try changing the channel? I found the only way to fix this issue for me was to do a clean install of 5.1.1 and then reinstall everything manually. It's a bit frustrating that I didn't really find out what the problem was, but at least it seems to be solved. Cheers, Ben. On 8/20/12, Mari

Yes. Here are some reasons why you shouldn't do it: It only works on iOs 5.01. Installing spire on its own won't give you Siri access. All of the free Siri proxies won't work, so you'll end up having to pay for access. Lots of personal information (Contacts and messages for example) will be sent
