I was on Koa AOKP build B40 from 6/25 for several weeks now with stable 4G data. If I ever lost data, all I had to do was toggle airplane mode and it would be back strong. I just flashed M7 online/offline version and it was working well for the first hour or so. After that, I have lost data, and it won't come back. I have tried: (a) toggling airplane mode, ( switching to GSM only in Phone Info and switching back, and © rebooting the phone -- all to no avail. Has anyone else had their data break after flashing Google Now? Any ideas how I can get back data?

Thanks for your help!

Depending on where you're at, Verizon data was down for a while last night - maybe that was part of the problem?

[charvaka]

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't seem to be a network issue. I switched to the non-safe side and I got 4G back right away. Now I switched back to the safe side, and no data. I guess I will use this opportunity to try some other ROMs.

Thanks, I tried that as well, but no luck. So I just flashed Simplex ROM and installed Google Now on it. It's working well so far.

One thing I wish I had tried was restoring a nand backup of my Koa installation from before the Google Now install to see if that brought back data. But I thought of that only after installing Simplex, so now I am not sure if restoring that nand backup will work.

Not even sure how to ask this - I'm rooted, but not running any rom, just stock. how can I install this with CWM without using the safestrap safe side thingy?

[chrisf8657]

Are you actually getting it to dial the contact? Mine just pulls up a card with the contact then I have to hit another button to actually get it to dial. Does the same thing with alarms too.

No, all it does is come up with a constantly spinning circle in the voice dial box - never recognizes anything I say. Guys over at XDA say it's a bug that only Google can fix, but haven't yet for some reason...

You can't unfortunately....you must use SS and can only flash on the safe side...meaning you would first have to flash a rom on the safe side....you could always flash the .215 deodexed stock version if you want the same look/feel then restore any apps with TB

You can install BOOTSTRAP and install Google Now on the stock rooted ROM... I just did this a few nights ago and Google Now works great but.... It has taken over my Bluetooth Dialing and just as always with any of the stock google BT apps it sucks at recognizing my input.
Tonight I will be fastbooting back to stock .211 to get rid of Google Now because not having BT working 100% is a deal breaker for me... also when I answer on BT to leaves the phone mic and speaker on so you are listening and talking through both... not good.

Don't fear safestrap. I didn't quite understand the point at first, but taking the jump from CWM was a great move. Being able to dump a Rom and still have a functional phone at will its fairly liberating.

Safe strap only lets you flash things on the ROM side so people who simply want to flash mods to their stock phone can't use it.

Somewhat true. There are a number of stock ROMs out there, and safestrap gives you the ability to test drive modifications to a stock ROM without dorking up your basic phone if things don't work out. Hence the "safe".

You can do all sorts of experimenting with safestrap, and at the end of the day you can disable safe side and have your phone back, no Matt's utility or pc required.

That's all I was saying.

Thanks for all the input. I've watched a lot of the safestrap videos, but what I've not seen yet, is when one goes through the process with SS rom, and reboot, does it go to the new rom setup then. If so, how do you get back to the old side/setup, if you need to do that?

[pm1066]

When safestrap is enabled, you get a menu like CWM on boot. One option is the safe menu, which lets you turn on or off the safe side. Turn it on, load a custom ROM. Turn it off, it boots the regular ROM.

Thanks, been running roms since the Droid X - now, what to try...........................

I didn't yesterday but it's working today

Not a huge deal but.. Google Now is acting strange... before when I asked something specific, it would usually give me back that specific answer... for example if I said "what is the net worth of Bill Gates?" it would said "Bills Gates net worth is US 61 billion"... now if I ask it, it gives me background information about the person... I get the card displaying the answer but it doesn't say it like it used to... just tested again, and when I asked "how tall is Michael Jordan" it gave me a short answer about who MJ is... instead of saying he's 6'6"... pretty annoying...the weird thing is its great with sports... when I ask "when is the Patriots next game" it gives me the correct answer just as I want..... anyone else experiencing this?

I am getting the same thing running ArcticHD. I asked how tall MJ was and it gave me the background info with the card showing 6'6"
