Everyone, even those who don't have or have never wanted an Apple device, meet their famous personal assistant, Siri, which tries to help you with those doubts that arise.
With iOS 8 a new way to interact with Siri has been addedLike the "Okay, Google", now users can call Siri with "Hey Siri", the negative point of this novelty is that it only works when we have our device charging, with this tweak, UntetheredHeySiri, you can call Siri even when your device is not charging.
UntetheredHeySiri, is a tweak created by Hamza Sood, with which allows us to use the new Siri function at any time Without having to connect the device, Apple chose to force the devices to be connected to use the function, because having it always active means consuming a little more battery.
To activate this function, once the Tweak is added, you have to go to Settings, General, and you go to Siri, in its section you will have a new section, which gives you the possibility that "Hey Siri" is always active or only when it is charging, activate the option of always and Siri will be listening to you whenever you call it.
This tweak can be obtained for free from Cydia's BigBossIf you start to try it, I warn you that having the option always activated may mean an increase in the battery consumption of your devices, but having the possibility to choose is never bad, the user decides.
The truth is that having such an interesting and only being able to use it with the device connected, it seems like a failure to meEven if it is due to battery consumption, they could try to optimize it so that having it always active does not imply that increase in consumption or the increase does not imply a great loss of autonomy.
It would be interesting to do a consumption test, with this option activated and without it, it could clear up doubts as to whether it can really be worth it to those who do not make intensive use and do not mind that battery consumption
Installed caused problems. It is the only tweak that causes my iphone 6 to get hot, I did a test. Uninstall and the phone returned to normal ambient temperatures. Moral It is not worth it and it consumes a lot of resources in the background, perhaps that is why the option is disabled in ios by default.
Theirs would be an action in "activator" so that, for example, it remains only active when connecting to the car's Bluetooth and turns off again when disconnecting from Bluetooth
