(Running XenonHD v11)
So...back in the days before Google Now, my Google searches were speedy. I could tap the Voice Search button and tell my phone to do just about anything.
My favorite thing to do was to tell it to something not in my phone book.
So "call Red Robbin in Springfield, Virginia". It would populate the web, find a Red Robbin in Springfield, and automatically call it. No need to touch any other button.
I could do this as far back as my Droid X.
Now, Google search can't even find the nearest McDonald's, let alone call it automatically.
I see every review of Google now populating these "cards" with search results for images, movies, random facts, mathematical questions, but mine doesn't do any of that.
So my question is...is this all a part of the dumb down search that hit all the Nexus phones, or the Google now packed with XenonHD bad, or are my settings in Google now just messed up?
I'd really like to drop Google Now and return to the regular internet search...
TIA
