Hello. This is quite interesting. I guess this bug doesn't just
apply to jailbroken iPhone 4 users. I recently installed Siri on
my iPhone 4, and I have also noticed this bug. Unfortunately, I
don't believe there is a permanent fix for this. When this
happens, the way I usually fix it is by restarting the
springboard. You can do this by quickly pressing the power
button five times in a row.

Subject: Siri freezing when using voiceover
I am writing to find it if any other members have had issues with
Siri &
Voiceover working together using the Iphone 4s? I use voiceover
constantly
however I have noticed that when using Siri with Voiceover
continuously that
Voiceover will say "listening" and that Siri will freeze, no tone
will be
emitted to indicate that Siri is "thinking". I do have hints
turned off on
Voiceover, and I guess if I needed to I could use Siri like a
sighted
individual but I would prefer to use the two accessibility
features
together. I am curious if this problems cause is specifically do
to Siri or
Voiceover.
I have read that you can flick around the screen using Voiceover
while
pressing the volume up button and that sometimes will fix the
issue,
unfortunately I am not so lucky... A temporary fix I have come
across is if
you turn on Airplane mode on/off it will reset the network and
that will
bring Siri back online. I did report this issue to Apple
Accessibility and
they will investigate the issue.
In the meantime if anyone has found a more permanent solution to
this
problem please do not hesitate to share.
Marissa
