Google Now not working right. Anyone else seen this??? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

So if I use Google Now (NOT SVoice) to call someone here is an example of what I see a lot:
ME - CALL JOHN SMITH HOME
Google Now - completely recognizes "Call John Smith Home" (since that is exactly what it transcribed in the search bar).
Google Now - shows a card for Davy Jones Mobile (as an example).
For some reason the card it picks is COMPLETELY different from what was transcribed up top.
Anyone else seeing this?

Works fine for me...what rom are you running? What mods? These are things you a should include along with your question.

Sorry I am 100% stock

Here is an example. You can tell by the names that neither of them are standard names, but Google Now PERFECTLY recognized what I was trying to say, and wanted to call COMPLETELY the wrong person:

Have you tried to delete cache & data of Google Voice/Search? You could always delete it & re-install to see if it helps or not.

Happens to me as well. I am stock on att.
I have read somewhere that you need to have the contacts synced to Google. Are yours phone or Google contacts? I use only phone contacts.

had google now have issues 2 days in a row on my GN2 and N7. So it seems to be a issue throughout there whole system. Didnt seem like to big of a issue, just had to reconnect it.

Edit*
Nevermind. Don't wanna be mean.

Not sure what you said, but would love to hear what you had to say nicely.
To the others, my contacts are and have always been sync'd to Google. I will try the reinstall, and clearing cache, etc.

Grindr for Android url

Admin note: link removed in response to take-down notice from makers of this product. Please refrain from reposting. Thank you for your cooperation.
Very cool. Thanks!
Installed, went to set up profile, program force-closes every time I click "edit name." As much as I like Grindr, I think I'm going to uninstall this.
[before anyone asks, I did fix permissions and restart the phone.]
J~
is this what i think it is?
If it doesn't force close, it just says there's an error.
Ahaha, just what I needed. Not! Lol I should prob Google a app first before blindly downloading

Yes it is, there a problem sir? :]
I've been running this for a couple of weeks. I have the same bug in that I can't edit any of the free text to add a name, headline etc. Chat and pics seem to work ok though. I have a funny feeling that grindr are trying to censor information about this alpha as nothing seems to show up about it on twitter etc.
Does anyone know - or can anyone find out where the settings are stored for profile - are they on the phone or on the grindr server? If on the phone perhaps a config file could be hacked.
When it doesn't force close, I can't get it to even sign on to their network. I'll have to stick with scruff for now
I have a feeling settings are stored on their server, since they were working on letting you use the same profile on multiple devices.

You know, you could just NOT say anything. Much better for everyone
I'm not gay, but intolerance is just so ****ing wrong, PERIOD. You have a right to free speech in america, but maybe you should sit the next few rounds out.
To the mods that see this, I apologize. I had to.

[Q] S-Voice Problem

S-Voice on my T-Mobile Galaxy S III is acting up. It worked well on the first day, but today it responds to everything I say with "Say 'Hi Galaxy' to wake me up".
My data connection is fast and solid, and it correctly picks up what I say, but the response is always the same!
For example, if I say "What is 5+5", it still responds the same way as shown below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyone else experiencing this?
S-Voice is really buggy to be nice about it, as was Vlingo on my SGSII. You could try clearing data using the Application Manager.

Twitter Notifications Borked?

I have already posted about this in my Google+ profile, but Twitter notifications have not been working for quite a long time on my Galaxy Nexus, across a wide variety of AOSP based ROMs. Whenever I try to change my notification settings, I get the message "there was a problem updating notification settings".
Anyone else experience this or know how to fix it? I've already tried clearing out all my partitions and stuff, and as an FYI, I always do a full wipe before installing any ROM.

Notifications have been broke for me also mate. Frustrating as hell, in addition when I tweet and go @ it does not load my full list of contacts.
Edit: btw when this became an issue someone suggested removing and adding my acct again and this did work temporarily. Maybe you can give it a try, might help you.
FYI, the solution was given to me. Turns out you have to sign out of the account, revoke access to the app through Twitter.com and sign back in.

[Q] Handcent Blank Conversation/Thread Bug

Hey I'm having an issue with Handcent that I hope someone can help me with. This issue doesn't seem to be ROM specific, I've had it with every TW JB ROM and kernel I've tried.
At some point after booting, usually after exchanging ~30 or 40 texts, when I try to send a text it doesn't go through and my screen shows a blank conversation screen, with only the contact's name and number at the top (see first attached image). Then when I hit back, the thread list is also completely blank (see second attached image). In order to make the threads and conversations reappear I have to kill the app and go back in, but after sending another 2 or 3 texts the problem happens again. Only way to solve it for good (until sending another 30 texts) is to reboot the phone.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Handcent but that hasn't helped.

If its happening on multiple roms, it may just be a bug with the app
Have you checked the Play Store reviews to see if anyone else is having issues? Try rolling back a version as well, you can probably find an older version online
Also, clearing cache / data doesnt help? Did you restore any data between flashes, by chance?
I haven't seen anyone else mention the issue on Google Play. Haven't tried an older version of the app yet but I may have to give that a shot. Clearing data on the app didn't help, and I've wiped caches many times. I did restore some user apps with TB between flashes, but they're all games that I don't think would affect an SMS app.

I've had this problem (messaging specific, not handcent) where that eventually happens... And it's not rom or even phone specific... Its happened on my note 2 and my wife's gs3.only way to fix is to reboot the phone.

any help on this would be very much appreciated
Normally the best thing to do is clear facebook data and log in again, if that doesn't work then uninstall/reinstall.

tried all that m8,endlessly searching on google,nothing works,many people have the same problem even with different phones,beginning to think it's a problem @facebook's end,have installed Android Pro Widgets,logged in no probs.
Would still like to find a solution though
Having the exact same issue here. Tried every solution that i've found, needless to say nothing worked.
Something i have found out is that if i use my girlfriends account, or any other account except my own, there are absolutely no issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So did you manage to find a fix, or did you just setup a new account? Because i have tried mostly everything, but i still have the issue.
This hasn't worked for me for ages, but a little work around:
Open the Facebook app until it asks for access.
Minimize app
Login to facebook on browser.
Minimize browser, and go back to facebook app.
This usually allows the app to login for me
