Hello, I have predefined locations of home and work in android on my Nexus 6P.
I usually set a reminder with "ok google" in Google Now. "add reminder send email to Joe when I get to work" or "add reminder do dishes when I get home
both these are recognized as a reminders when I get to a location.
But, they only seem to work like once in a blue moon. It worked the first time, but I don't think they've worked ever since. Yes I have location through both gps and wifi ON, always.
I can see the reminder is in android reminders, but has not sent me a notification when I got to the place.
Should I use Google Keep/Inbox to manage reminders? Is there a difference in just using the Reminders app?
Reminders with a time seem to work properly.

How do I get reminder notifications on my phone for events that were created through Google Calendar in the browser. The only reminder options in the web app are email and pop up and the reminder options in the Android app are notification and email. I thought setting up pop up reminders in the browser would translate into notification reminders in Android but that doesn't seem to be the case. For the most part I manage my calendars in browser on my pc and just want to get the notification reminders on my phone. Is this possible? I have Calendar set to auto sync in Android and all my calendars are set to sync as well.
On my PC, I just added a test event for 10 minutes ahead with the notification set for 5 minutes. Then I checked that it showed on the phone. On the phone, the notification fired off on time.

I'm dredging up this old thread because ever since my Nexus S was upgraded to ICS the notifications have completely stopped working! It used to work perfectly before the upgrade, but now, no matter how I set them... on my desktop or on the phone... there is no alert, pop-up, or notification of any event on my Google Calendar.
This is a major issue for me as I depend on these alerts. Has anyone else had this issue since ICS? Any ideas how to get it working?? I've tried adjusting all the Settings for notifications, etc.
Nearly every morning I wake up to a birthday reminder. I never set my phone up to tell me about said birthdays, but damned if it doesn't tell me anyway. How can I make this stop? I checked the calendar app and the birthdays that I'm getting alerts about are from the "People" calendar. I unchecked the People calendar from the drop-down list, but today's birthdays are still showing up on my "Productivity" lock screen. Hopefully it will cease the alerts in the morning, but I'd rather not have irrelevant birthdays on my lock screen either
Is the a way to fix this without doing each individually? I also can't swipe away the birthday notification thing from my lockscreen.

Did you try Lockscreen settings?
Settings > Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Settings > Display Calendar Events from: "Check/un-check as you want"
Do you use the Facebook app? If you are getting birthday reminders for people what you normally not even have birthdays info, that's probably it.
I know I've had this issue in the past, but I can't reproduce it now. In the past when I've had this problem, I've just turned off the option to sync Facebook to my contacts. But this means you won't see their status messages or FB photo in your contacts. But I can care less about that. Might affect Friendstream too, but I don't use that either. If you want to try this, in the FB app go to Settings>Sync contacts, and select "Don't sync" then press done.
I was using the default calendar to remind me events, but then I tried the "Ok Google" thing for setting up reminders. Unfortunately, that action turned on some Google service and now I will receive two reminders from the Calendar if an event is going to happen. How can I disable one--I prefer the default one if this can save some battery life? Thanks.
Hey everyone,
I've just picked up my new Pixel 2 today and it's great but...the At A Glance widget doesn't seem do anything except show my calendar. Long press doesn't do anything and there is no options for it in the home settings.
Any suggestions?
Edit: ignore this. I've just had updated my apps and it now seems to be fine
I'm having an issue as well. It is only displaying the day, month, and weather. I have things on my calendar but it never displays them. My appointments will show up in the notification bar but not on the home screen. Any ideas?
I've already long pressed and made sure my calendar events were enabled.

I'm having the same issue on on Pixel 2XL
I think what worked for me was allowing Google Now access to my upcoming events and location info. If you go to the Google Now screen and play around with the settings there it should work.
So I added a test event in the calendar app and it worked. So am I to assume that only events created within the app will show?
I contacted support and they verified my theory. It will only display events created within the app. If it gets added via the web or any other means, it will not show.
So, if a colleague creates an appointment and invites me as guest, the event is shown in my calender (as usual) but At-A-Glance won't show it??
And how do you toggle the weather to be shown or not to be shown? Long press only offers me calendar events and traffic info.

Regarding the weather. Try going to your google now feed and hitting the 3 dots in the top right corner. Then look for "customize feed" and hit that. Then scroll down and under "weather" hit "view all settings". Then where it says "weather updates for your location" turn it on. If it is already on, turn it off then back on. Now go back to your google now feed and pull down to refresh the feed. Now go back to your home screen and you should see the weather. As far as turning it off I think you can just turn off the "weather updates for your location" setting but I think you need to reboot to make the weather disappear.

That's dumb. I rarely if ever create an appointment from my phone. I usually do it from the web on my desktop. It should read from your Google Calendar regardless of where you enter it from.

My at a glance widget displays events added via the web, not just created within the app. It only displays the events starting shortly before the event. However, the widget appears to behave differently for different people.
Support is not the most reliable source of information.
I had this issue with my brand new Pixel 2, But I fixed it. To fix it first go to the Google app page in setting then go to the storage, manage space and then clear all data. After disable it enable it and it should start work.
Hi all, I have the Sport version. So I swipe from the left and tap the microphone icon and say "set a timer for 10 minutes".
The text is properly recognised, but nothing happens. It's supposed to open the timer app, correct?
I do the same for "set an alarm in 20 minutes". Text recognition works but it doesnt set it on the alarm app.
However, if I say "Add a reminder" I'm asked for the reminder details etc and it saves the reminder.
Any idea what's happening with the timer and alarm apps?
Thanks
Let me add that it works when I do it on the phone, with the same google account.
I have the same problem with the timer...

I'm sure this use to work as I've set a the Timer using GA in the past, now all it does is accept the command as the OP suggests but not set the Timer, it will still open the Timer so you can then manually set it yourself.
Edit: It seems it's a recent development as there's a number of users reporting the problem on the Google WearOS support webiste.

Same here. Apparently it's not just our watches it's a general bug on Wear OS
