Richard, are you still holding the power button in when you press the home button? It sounds like you are pressing the home button by itself and as you know, doing that for a few seconds brings up Siri.

Hi,
You must have left out the part where you are facing South Southeast at 3:37
AM on the fourth Tuesday of the month or something like that, (grin),
because no matter what I do, I always end up with the Siri Prompt sitting
there.
So, I'm going to conclude that this phone doesn't want this procedure done
to it and will simply not cooperate.
  That, or the phone knows it doesn't really need to be done, so it doesn't
work.
Something as simple as this should work without a hitch, so there is
something else with this phone.
I'm just going to chalk this up to one of those things and move on.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

Sure, I'll try.

1. Hold down the Power button until you get the prompt to shut down the
phone.

2. Hold down the Home button until the app closes. You end up on the lock
screen.

Best,
Anna

Anna,
Since  you are very good at writing instructions, could you rewrite
the instructions in your own words?
I did what I thought were step-by-step exactly what was outlined but
every time I end up with the Voice Control Prompt.
I'm clearly not doing something in exactly the right order or timing
or something.

Thanks,
Richard

Hi,

That's odd; the steps work fine on my 4S. Did you hold down Home after
the message about powering off the phone appeared?

Best,
Anna

This method does nothing for me on the iPhone 4s.
When holding down the home button, I get the prompt for Siri, or
after
turning Siri off, the standard Voice Command prompt comes up.

When I thne unlock the phone again, I'm still in the Calendar, or
whatever
app was open.

Sometimes when you press the home button on your iPhone, iPad, or
iPod Touch there can be a delay or even take a couple of tries
before it responds. In this tutorial you will see how to fix this.

Step 1
Open a stock application like the Calendar, Weather, or Youtube Step
2 With one of these apps opened, hold down the power button until
the 'slide to power off' control appears.
Step 3
As soon as you see it, press the home button and keep it pressed
until the red slider disappears and the app is forced quit to the
home
menu.
Step 4
That's it! Now you should have a much more responsive home button.

I do not subscribe to this site, so not sure of their information. I
have not tried this re-calibration, but intend to on my wife's
phone, as the home button seems to have issues.

Eric
