Hi, Respring is where the device restarts home screen and other programs without saving current settings first. It comes from Restart SpringBoard, with SpringBoard being the app name for home screen.
For Siri: another option is to shutdown and turn on the phone, as it fixes the problem for a while unless Siri gets confused with bad responses.

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. Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A.

Aso, it's questionable as to whether pressing the power/sleep button so many times is a safe respring. -- Raul A.

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. hth Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marissa Solaun" <[email protected] <javascript:> To: <[email protected] <javascript:> Date sent: Sun, 19 Aug 2012 18:35:16 -0700 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.
