[Q] Google Now not showing train reservations - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So about 3 months back my Google Now stopped showing train reservations from emails, still shows hotels. I've wiped the phone, reset Google Now preferences, nothing. Turned it off and on, nothing.
Since it stopped working I've moved from 4.4.4 to 5.0 to 5.0.1 to 5.1.
They still work for a colleague so it's not the email format that's changed, anyone got any ideas?

I guess nobody else has seen this?

Did you get it to work again?
I'm currently experimenting with Google's Email Markup and TrainReservations don't work there either.
According to this list, it isn't supported at all so it seems like they removed that feature.

[Q] Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.

Not solved. Apparently I needed to use a VPN to connect my account though Talk. But now when my VPN isn't on nothing will sync and my gmail won't load. Until today I have never needed a VPN to log into my Google account. Something is obviously still wrong.
So I've flashed dozens of ROM's at this point and have never had this problem before. I have read all the threads and tried the following fixes ...
Pulled SIM and used WIFI
Factory reset
You Tube account ... This actually registers my Google info under accounts but won't sync at all. When I try to sync contacts or anything I get a red exclamation point and nothing happens.
Flashed other ROM's and different gapps.
Tried logging in though other gapps such as Talk and Gmail. Again YouTube will show up on my account tab as synced. It's green and looks synced but if I try to manually sync it the red error shows up again and nothing has actually been synced.
There must be a reason for this yes?
I should also mention that I'm in Shanghai. However I have never had a problem before. What gives? Why now? Could it really be that the server is down and I should just try again tomorrow?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Yeah... i've been having a similar problem in xiamen for about 3 days... china unicom?
Oh? And also never had this happen before? Happened after you flashed a new ROM?
I'm with CMCC.
What makes me think something is rotten is Chinatown is the fact that if I do use my VPN everything is OK. I'm hoping this isn't the case.
I'm searching for some old TB files I can toss on my phone to try and restore it to an earlier date. If that doesn't work maybe a super crusty old ROM will work. I really am out of ideas at this point.
I wonder if getting rid of root and going stock would fix anything?
Error Message
I have also same problem for past 3 days on China Mobile in Shanghai. I belive it should be something to do with the carrier or Network accessibility to Google products... I am on Galaxy S2.
Today I checked on couple of my friends with Nexus and Galaxy S1 and confirmed that they also face same problem...
Currently the only Google app that's working is Google Translate ... The rest however won't work without my VPN on.
So it looks like this is both CMCC and Unicom so far. I don't even know if there is anything else.
The funny thing is Google + has been working on my phone from launch with no problems. Not anymore though.
Anyway there are so many places selling Android devices in China I could only imagine that this is temporary.
I wonder if there is any way to edit some of the carrier info to make things work?
Apparently there is something going on, it looks like.
It looks like it's happened before, and after about 3-4 days it sets itself aright...
Anyone figure out a workaround? I was using a pretty good VPN, but the android version only has pptp and therefore barely works here. I can't get any programs, email, or anything on my phone after a factory reset... this makes me sad.
*had some links posted but I guess I need to post a few more times before it lets me*
Anyone figure out any updates or fixes for this yet?
It's been like that for several days now...I'm with CMCC. After sometimes it'll be okay as usual....black "magic" I would call it.
VPN is a no no for me, used to work fine till they block it. I'm using SSH Tunnel now...no problem in general except from time to time (once in a very blue moon like now) when "they" cast their "magic"
Without tunneling. market couldn't get through these days.
How annoying. I even tried taking out my SIM card, and doing a hard reset, and then trying to download my software from my WIFI, but it's not a DDWRT router so I can't access the VPN.
Is there software that can turn an OpenVPN connected computer into a Wifi router? If I logged into my computer which is on a VPN, maybe I could at least re-download all my apps from the market......
*sigh* or wait heh
I got the same problem like last 5 days ...i m in China too ..with china unicom ...i tried everything possible like factory reset, uninsalling and installing gapps, install stock image , cache cleaning ....BUT ...CAN'T LOGIC GOOGLE ....
at last i used VPN on my phone ..and its sync and connect in a second ...problem gone...Happy to have my fully functional phone back
MAGIC Happened again
Just trying to log into the market .. yes now we can access the market and other google products..

Droid Maxx Google account problems

I've tried everything I can think of to resolve this, but I need some suggestions.
So - my husband finally got a smartphone, after getting by with a keyboard phone for years. I talked to him about different phones - iPhones even - and after looking at several, he took my advice and got a Droid Maxx. Of course I helped him set it up, etc. Everything went well for a day or two, but then he started getting all sorts of errors - Google sync problems, Google account sign-in problems, "Unfortunately Google play services has stopped" etc. I was able to solve most of the problems by uninstalling updates to Google Play, and a few other things. He was still having some issues, though. The phone occasionally shut itself off. So, I decided to do a factory reset.
Since then, everything is working much better. The phone hasn't shut down at all, etc. However, in the last day or two, he will get an error notification that's something like "Trouble signing in to Google Account". He has to tap the notification and enter his Google password. Then everything seems fine until it happens again sometime later. Now it's happening frequently
He has almost no apps installed. The two or three he has installed are the same ones that I have used forever on my android devices, including on my Droid Maxx and Moto X - so on the same or similar devices. I have checked every setting I can think of. He doesn't have 2-step authorization on his Google account and he never has problems with that account on his desktop, laptop, etc.
Any ideas what could be happening? He does drive through an area with no cell service every day, so that could have something to do with it, but I drive through the same no-service area, and I have never, ever had to sign in to my Google account after initial setup. Sometimes this issue crops up when he has perfectly good service.

i think that's the problem, i had issues the first time i passed by a no service area and the problem showed up ''we have trouble authenticating this account, tap here to solve'' and thats all. it solved with the tap in the notification, and never appeared again, i suspect your rom data its corrupted and i recommend reinstalling the phones firmware 4.2 or 4.4 whatever version is. that should solve the problems.
Jaocagomez;50875823 your rom data its corrupted and i recommend reinstalling the phones firmware 4.2 or 4.4 whatever version is. that should solve the problems.[/QUOTE said:
Thanks for your reply! Can you please explain what "your rom data its corrupted" means?
Also, how do I reinstall the firmware? This phone is not rooted and was updated to 4.4 KitKat OTA.
I'm hoping that it was just the magnet on his pouch case interfering with the radios. He realized that he's always noticed this problem after the phone has been in the case. This afternoon I asked him not to put it in the case as an experiment.

Missing Notifications

Running full stock 6.0.1, and I just got this phone last Friday. I noticed over the weekend that certain apps are not showing notifications, specifically ESPN and USA Today. I tried signing out/in to the apps again, and uninstalling/reinstalling the apps, but I'm still not getting notifications. I got them on my other devices, so I know the issue is not server-side, and stuff like Gmail/Facebook/etc work just fine, so I know it's not a global issue. Anyone seen this issue before?
Looks like the issue was some incompatible setting from my OP3 when I transferred data by touching the backs of the phones during the initial setup. Rooted the phone this morning, which wiped it, and now all my notifications are working.

(6045Y) Idol 3 - Google Play Services problem

Hello, it's my first post here so be lenient if you might.
My Idol 3 5.5 came back from repair (power button not working) and they replaced motherboard in order to fix it.
Everything seemed fine until I got home, connected to WiFi and tried to use Google Play. I downloaded all updates pending and tried to use WhatsApp. It said my time and date are wrong, I tried to change it few times, nothing helped. I uninstalled WhatsApp and Messenger (since it didn't work too) and tried to reinstall them. Suddenly notification about Google Play Services update popped out so as it said I did. After the update I've been greeted with whole bunch of similar notifications informing me that none of my apps will work and I have to update Google Play Services. That's a shame I already did... Tried cleaning cache and uninstalling updates etc. Nothing helped, still unable to use apps. After a while It has shown that it can't sync with my Google account, then informed me that I need to connect to the internet in order to use Google Play (I obviously was on my WiFi and internet connection was available, switched to mobile data and same occured). I performed factory reset, the phone didn't boot fo 10 minutes showing Alcatel animation so I turned it off. I opened service menu (power + vol up) and performed wipe from there, rebooted, phone started, configured it and same thing happened - no Google Play for me. I did it one more time, carefully logging in Google Account, not rushing anything in order not to screw up. Still nothing. At this moment I'm really frustrated since I can't use my phone and I'd really not want to send it to repair one more time since it lasts 2 weeks to get it back. Any ideas on how to fix it? Web browser worked fine, sms worked, phone calls were fine. Any ideas?

Maybe give Mobile Upgrade Q a try? It will flash the latest firmware available for your device and will probably fix any software-related problem
Factory reset and then turn on automatical time syncing. Wish you good luck.

Google Messenger not working

Can anyone help me figure out why Google Messenger is showing all my contacts as Unknown Sender. Everything works fine if I use Textra or the native sms app. I'm using an Honor 8.
The exact same thing just started happening to me with my Honor 8. I don't know what caused it. I'm on the 7.0 EMUI 5.0 Official build, and it just started happening last night

I tried reinstalling it but it still persists.
It also stopped working for me with the update to 7.0. Extremely annoying considering its my go to SMS app and I can't stand the stock one :/ Considering a factory reset...Unless anyone knows of a fix. I've played around with every permissions setting and have zero luck thus far.
I've had this happen to me too. It's very frustrating. I'm considering a factory reset, but would be even angrier if that doesn't fix the problems. In addition to every conversation switching from "Unknown Caller" is that the keyboard or reply option is completely gone. I had to switch back to the native app.
Other issues I have with EMUI are that Google Camera doesn't work, although I heard that Google is only allowing that to be installed on Nexus devices. It doesn't show up in a Playstore search anymore. Attempts to side load it have failed.
Another issue I have is that the Email app won't dismiss the unread count bubble all the time. It seems to be intermittent. A reboot or several hours clears this issue up for awhile.
(Sorry for multiple bug reports in this thread, but Google Messenger not working is really bothering me most.)
