First time I've experienced this.
Both Passport and Classic on Rogers.

Same here. So relieved to find out it wasn't just me.
Google NOW....
Don't think so on my Z30. ;)

I posted this issue last night as well in a separate thread. I have opened a case with BlackBerry and I am awaiting to hear back from them.

Well... if you own a Z30, BB10 isn't going to disappear.
But eventually BlackBerry will stop supporting features like the Assistant.... 5 years or 2 years???
That's my fear. :(

It's happening on my Z30, first with the server, and now I'm getting a "Voice request wasn't understood" after a hard reboot.
You can however, type your request and it will get respond with results, such as movies, and weather etc. But that voice thing just needs to work.... dang.
EDIT: SOS SOS help!!
BlackBerry has confirmed there is an issue with the Voice Assistant server and are working on it and it is supposed to be resolved shortly. Will have to wait till it gets fixed I guess.

Thanks for the update wireless...
Works again. :)

Yeah! Working again for me too.

Yay working here too, Easter Eggs and all.
Voice interaction working again in BB Assistant, Remember app and dictation of text messages. Thanks again to those of you who brought this to BB's attention.
Also the read out loud function in the reader mode of Web browser is working again. That failed for me last week.

Aaaaaand it's working for me as well. Whew! Encouraged by the response time and the community's shock at all this. Glad it's not commonplace.

In my opinion, 24 hours of downtime without any explanation is unacceptable. Imagine if Siri was down for this length of time without an official response. BlackBerry communication is very poor.

Works again! BB Assistant is too valuable to lose but BlackBerry is killing it off along with BB10 :-(
Who said this? What's your evidence?

Has BlackBerry shutdown BB Assistant?
I started having trouble with the voice server yesterday using my BB Passport.
Today I'm getting "cannot connect to the voice server".
Thx
The server side was shut down a year ago, but maybe they are unplugging what's left.
That's interesting. If the server side was shutdown last year I wonder how I've been able to use it for hands-free phone operation until a few days ago?
I've been holding off on replacing my Passport until the new BB/Android phones come out (hopefully) later this year.
Because that is an on-device feature.
Hmmm.. It doesn't seem to be on-device. When I try to originate a phone call using a blue-tooth headset.
1. Tap button on headset
2. Prompted ..what do you wish to do.. (or whatever the wording is)
3. I say "call"
4. Reply is ...not understood...cannot connect to voice server.
Is there a setting on the phone that might need to be changed?
thx
