If I'm having this problem and you are, then others are also.  I read a 
few days ago that an update has been released.  While I was typing this, 
I checked my old phone.  This feature worked on it. Now it doesn't.  I 
just had the bad luck to notice it soon after a new release came out.  
I'll wait for developers to notice and fix it.
