Hello. As far as I know, pressing the power button five times to
respring is quite safe. I have done it several times, and have
never had a problem. Also, its a lot quicker than rebooting the
device.
Another tip: You can also restart your springboard using siri.
To do this, just start Siri and say "restart." Obviously, this
won't work if siri is frozen, but I figured some people may find
this interesting.

Hello Josh, Siri can only officially work on iPhone 4S. Aso,
it's
questionable as to whether pressing the power/sleep button so
many times
is a safe respring.

to jailbroken iPhone 4 users. I recently installed Siri on my
iPhone 4,

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.
