G+_john ferris Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Google Now and no notification sounds. I came across an interesting issue on both my N5 and N9 both running stock lollipop. I no longer here sounds for my reminders that I set with Google Now. After doing some testing it seems when I go to the Now card settings, Google Settings >> Search & Now >> Now Cards the Ringtone is "Silent". I can change it to anything, but for some reason after setting a reminder it goes back to silent. I do have notifications set to "ALL", as you can see in the pic. Anyone know of how this can be fixed. It sure is confusing how all this alert/notification stuff works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_john ferris Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Apparently there are others having this issue to.

G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 So, I have a different, but similar problem. While using Android Wear, my location reminders only show up on the watch (which I rarely scroll through). Once I open Google Search/Now, it shows up. Not very useful. This happens on both, Lollipop and Marshmallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Phil Chung Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I have that problem too. I wondered why I wasn't hearing any reminders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_john ferris Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 I have decided to move from Google now launcher to nova. What Google was offering free really is not reliable. Now reminders are not available, so I can't even see any future ones. Now... What is going to happen to my docs and calendar entries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Phil Chung Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Launcher has no effect on your docs and calendars. I use Nova on my HTC One M8 and use all the Google apps. I have hardly ever used the Google Now Launcher on my M8 - I found it really drained my battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_john ferris Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hey AAA. You should really bring this up on one of your episodes. The thread out there in google land is impressive. I have to say, I have left the google now world due to Google not addressing this issue in a timely fashion. I wonder if Google has decided to just let the Google Now product slip away.

G+_Phil Chung Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 It looks like reminders have been fixed in the new version of the Google app (the one with the new logo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
