[Q] Google Now won't remind me. - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So when i use command like "Remind me to X at Y o' clock" it shows me the reminder with correct time and date and asks me if i want to save it, wich i reply yes and Google Now saves reminder.
But when the time comes it won't remind me at all.
When i use "Show me reminders" command, all the old reminders are ther. What's wrong?

Looking for app to quickly add reminders

I hope this is the appropriate forum to post this.
So far my search has been unsuccessful for a little app / tool for WM5/WM6 SMARTPHONE: all it needs to do is prompt me for a reminder text and alarm date/time.
At the specified time a reminder just pops up (vibrate/ring) and I can SNOOZE it in 5 minute increments (like older nokia phones.. press n times for n * 5 minute snooze).
Can hold multiple reminders, not just one.
Ideally it should launch with the new reminder prompt so I can quickly add things to remember on the go.
At least this is how I'd imagine my "dream" app.
I don't know if what I wrote makes sense.
You see, I'm an extremely forgetful person. If I'm talking to someone and promise to do something I usually forget it within a minute. Like it never happened. It's pretty serious, I struggle all the time.
I normally use Calendar but it takes too long to enter a simple reminder.
So if anyone could point me in a direction.....where to look
thanks

ps. no, I don't do drugs. I was born with this sh*t.
ps2. I was just thinking, is there a way to create Outlook FORMS for Pocket Outlook? So I could just create a basic template with two input lines and it adds the rest of the stuff and inserts it into outlook. (and add the private flag because it's synced to the corporate exchange server where calendars are all public... )

tasker app profile help

im trying to make tasker my default app to replace a bunch of apps in 1. im having a bit of trouble making a reminder profile/s. here are some features im looking for...
*read a .txt file with the list of reminders.
*say them from the .txt file.
*have a continues reminder if no action has been taken. aka respond to it.
*have the option to remind me later (like a snooze for alarm, remind me again in 15min)
*dismiss reminder/mark as "done" (for that day, until the next day/time).
*be universal as in having the reminder tasks anonymous so its easy to "clone" the profile to add another reminder. and no conflicting if multiple reminder profiles are active for that day.
i will post my current settup later on today. it works ok but still some things dont work like if i set the reminder to "later", it does pop up the reminder options to remind me later or dismiss but the problem is that it wont show what the reminder is for. again, will post later. just wanna start up the thread... thanks!

[Q] Calendar event actions (Call John etc.)

Hi,
Is there an app or a tweak that could grant me a set of actions to include in calendar event?
The example: The reminder "Call John" pops up. What I obviously want to do next is to call John, right? SO is there a way to do that in the event reminder? Similar actions would include "run app", "text someone" and so on.
My 1999 Ericsson was able to do that. No way that the modern smartphone is unable to match it.
No idea about the tweak but i use an app called Life reminder that does exactly wht you are looking for. You may wanna give it a try...
Hope this helps

[Q] Google Voice Commands

Just trying some basic things on Google Voice commands on my HTC One (had since launch) and i keep getting weird errors.
If i say "send text to Adam test" it does it as i want.
However if i say send text to Karla, it searches for contacts called Carla.
Same for Rachael, searches for Rachel.
However if i switch from English UK to English US they both work fine.
Also "send text to mum" just does not work on any language. She's in the phone as Mum, but it just refuses to do it. If i say to do anything with mum it just does a google search every single time.
There must be a way to change this without changing the system language or the contacts names? Saying "send text to phil" loads up a contact called Philip so it's smart enough....

ive had problems with voice, seems if i try other voice programs google voice acts eraticly, ive fixed sometimes uninstalling the others, once i had to do a restore of the system
No other voice programs installed, just Google Voice Search.

I've heard that adding a pause before the name helps in this situation. In other words say, "send text to" pause for a moment, then say the name.
Doesn't make a difference. It knows im saying "send text to mum" because it does a google search for it instead.

[Xposed][Tasker][Evernote] Trying to "Google Now" a reminder to Evernote, stuck

[Xposed][Tasker][Evernote] Trying to "Google Now" a reminder to Evernote, stuck
As my first semi-serious project to learn AutoVoice, AutoInput, Tasker, Google Now, and so on, I decided to work on something I've been looking for but can't find: "Google Now" a reminder into Evernote's Reminder, rather than the GN reminder.
What I want to accomplish is "Google Now", "Remind Evernote This is a test reminder", then Evernote add a new reminder with the text (no title) "This is a test reminder" and no due date/time.
(I know you can do "note to self", but I want it to appear in Evernote Reminders, not just a regular text note. )
I got the trigger phrase to work ("remind evernote")
However, I got stuck trying to input the text as a reminder.
Approach 1)
Under "task" I can only get to App / Launch App, not a specific activity.
Approach 2)
I thought I can launch app, then use AutoInput to click the PLUS button, then reminder, but repeated attempts at using the easy-config kept taking me to the note behind the Add note button, not the button itself. I can't find the darn UI object to trigger.
Approach 3)
I thought about using an INTENT, however, looking at Evernote API, both at the Evernote Blog entry on Android Intents and the Github repo shows NO INTENT to add a reminder. Apparently a reminder is a regular note with three extra fields.
So right now, I'm a little stuck.
Question 1) How the BLEEP do I pop up the quick reminder dialog box like the widget
Question 2) If that's futile, how do I engage the Intent and add the reminder directly via the API?
Question 3) (Assuming Q1 or Q2 can be done), how do I retrieve the rest of the spoken text to be stuffed into the reminder input?
and way in the future...
Question 4) Will it be possible to have a GN card with state, like you can only say 'send message to John', and GN will prompt you back "what is the message?" I'd like it to ask "what is the reminder" if you just say "remind evernote" with no further input.
Did you try 'secure settings' app to get to the reminder activity of Evernote?
Something like this in response to your autovoice commnd trigger: Tasker Task > Secure settings > Launch Activity > Select Evernote > scroll down and select quick reminder activity
Ended up using 3 plugins: AutoVoice, AutoInput, and AutoShortCut, in addition to Tasker.
Evernote was absolutely ZERO help in programming this. Here's the final result posted on /r/tasker
