Hello Chris. I'm just catching up with all my e-mail using my I phone 5 due to no Mac but that will change tomorrow when every one I get my I Mac 27 inch. I'm so excited.
Anyway, I think I have your problem that Siri is very quiet and it doesn't matter when I turn my volume up it changes after a while. So, if you are on a call and you lock the phone, will that not cut the caller off? Kind regards, Kawal.
