Google Now working intermittently - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is Google Now only working intermittently for anyone else? Lately, as in the past week-week and a half, Google Now seems to only work sometimes. Ive been having to constantly open, refresh Google Now and even that doesnt work a lot of times. Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a fix? Is it a server issue?

Did this issue get resolved for you? I have found the problem and I temporary fix.
The issue is related to the new Google play services 3.2..they changed location to use wifi as Android 4.3 has it on at all times.. This is to save power from using GpS.. Anyway if your not running 4.3 and have wifi on all the time your location based cards will not work...
The solution, downgrade to Google play services 3.1 Everything works great on 3.1..

Super slow Play Store downloads?

Anybody start having this problem recently? Doesn't matter whether wifi or 4g. Some apps (though not consistently) download at normal speeds, others download at around a max of 50kb/s. I've never had the problem in all my years on Android, until a few days ago (close to a week into my ownership of Nexus 4). Updating Play Store didn't help. Using different wifi networks or cell data in different areas doesn't help.
What ROM I'm on and what kernel seems irrelevant, because it wasn't happening, and then without changing anything it started happening, and now after changing lots of things it's still happening. Just now I downloaded FB Messenger just fine, and then FB app is going at 50kb/s.

I have been having the same issue, super slow download speeds when i try to update certain apps. I was updating YouTube yesterday took me 10min. Same with my nexus 7 slow speeds as well. Not sure whats going on maybe a server issue.
I've found that quite a lot with play store, not just on nexus devices mind you.
I had the same concerns and I downloaded this application to the moment, solved the problem of Wi-Fi --> Wifi Fixer
In the settings of application (Settings --> Advanced), must be tick "Enable Wifi lock"
I hope it can help you !
PS ; sorry for my english ^^
I had this problem when I updated to the newer / latest CM nightly's recently, went back a week or so worth and it seemed to have stopped happening for me..
This is a play store problem and nothing wrong with your phone.
I have just downloaded a game on the play store.
It was going at about 20kbs
While it was downloading I also started something downloading in the browser which at the same time was downloading at 6mbs.
So the issue is clearly on play store

Voice search is slow or doesnt work

I am not sure if this is a NP issue, Android TV issue or a Plex issue but when i use the voice search in the plex app it takes a long time to find anything. It was working for a while then just stopped.
Now I have my plex library on a NAS drive so i assume it will take a little longer ot index a search but not as long as it takes. Has anyone experienced this? The voice search was one of the reasons I switched from AppleTV to NP.
Me too, it's very inconsistent. Search query is recognised, but returns no results. Sometimes after 3 tries I get a response, but at least half the time I give up and type the search. This always works without problems.
I have the same thing across apps voice search doesn't stop listening till it times out and fails. Factory reset and then stop auto updates in play store seems to have fixed it for me. Seems to have been a recent search app update.
Works much, much better on NVIDIA Shield that I have changed to. I think it's the hardware that sucks.

I turned off auto update for a Netflix issue but not sure how I will know to update to a newer app if they fix these bugs.
