i have an iphone 7 that i’m rehabbing for sale. the only issue is with siri. if i hold down the home button (yes “press home for siri” is on) i see the siri swirly circle above the home button, but as soon as i release, it goes away (not the usual behavior in other phones). also, if i turn on “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” it goes through the voice training steps, but every time it asks me to “say hey siri into your iphone” it immediately swipes left and shows me the message again, but stays on “1 of 5” as if it’s not registering anything. looking for thoughts on how to go about troubleshooting this. THanks
First try replacing the top flex assembly, the mic on this is what Siri listens to. I have also come across this situation when the phone has “audio IC disease” although this usually has other symptoms as well like greyed out voice memo.
