Network icons never turn blue anymore on JB

---

My network icons (WiFi, Cell Signal) used to turn blue (showing connectivity to Google). I tried XenonHD and decided it wasn't for me so I flashed back my Nandroid of the 4.1.1 OTA from kibmcz. For some reason, it seems that after flashing back, my icon never turns blue, even though I can connect to the Play Store, retrieve Gmail, receive Google Voice notifications, etc.

Any thoughts on how to restore this background connection to allow my network icons to turn blue?

I'm backing up (TB) and getting a Nandroid, then reflashing. I think it may be due to the device ID. This was the first time I chose to get the old device ID back when restoring from TB, instead of choosing ignore and keep the new device ID.

Update coming soon...

I've never had issues with changing or not changing the device ID (I've done both over the course of trying out way too many roms). Any chance you accidentally restored some system or Google date with TB? That could cause some problems. In general, don't restore through TB unless there is unrecoverable data that doesn't really interact with the system (such as game scores). If you can restore the data from somewhere else (email from a server, etc) do that. Restore any apps that don't need their data restored from the Play Store (translate, browsers, etc)

Instead of reflashing the OTA, I decided to go with a CM10 (listed in signature). This time I selected "Ignore (keep the new device ID)" and this seemed to work. Coincidental or not, the only time this has been an issue is when I told TB to restore the device ID. Perhaps a TB bug? I'm not sure. I've always restore almost everything stored in TB and never had any issues, especially since I typically don't flash multiple ROMs. I usually stick to stock OTA.

Thanks for the reply, dvorak. I may start doing that if I switch ROMs and not just re-flash the same ROM.
