It seems some people experience a problem with the screen locking in situations like this and also when using SIRI to send a text message. I seem to remember somebody posting that after they would say, just to use an example, "Text John Smith, Hi, I am running late, will be here in 10 minutes" that they didn't have time to find and tap the Sent button before SIRI locked the screen. I think this must be one of these bugs that affect some users and not others.
I just tried the query you did "How many square kilometres are in a square mile" and SIRI read the entire result text, I was able to touch the screen and stop it from reading and then review the text by turning the rotor to words and flicking through the text. I started out with the screen locked and just pushed and held the home button and then asked SIRI. One thing I do find is that reviewing a result like that is sometimes inconsistent. For example at first it would say "Input interpretation" and flicking down with the rotor setto words would simply keep repeating "Input Interpretation". Then I was able to get into the text and sometimes it would suddenly start from the top again etc. I suggest you write to [email protected] and make them aware of the problem you experience with the screen locking because they can't fix this if they don't get enough messages to let them know it is a problem evem if it doesn't affect everybody.

She started to read the answer and then the screen locked and Siri went silent. I did it twice, both times with the screen unlocked to begin with. Both times the screen locked. What's that all about?
