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.

I never want to receive an email notification for a calendar event. I hate getting 2 notifications for the same thing (I always set a popup). I am assuming that this is a default Android action as it happens on both my Tab and my Blade.
Anyone know how to turn off this default setting? Or change it to popup? I've looked everywhere I can think of.
TIA

I think you need to go to web Google Calendar and set the default 'Notifications' options in the settings of the calendar in question. There are options to set it to pop-up and/or e-mail and/or sms. You can also control how updates in events are handled.

Trust me to be looking in the wrong place!
What was weird was I needed to turn all the invitation notifications off even if though I've never set an invitation up when creating an event.
But I'm sorted and happy - thank you
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.
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.
I'm getting Google nags 3 X daily about the migration from Google Assistant reminders to Tasks. I already use Tasks and if I set a reminder via Assistant it appears at Tasks. Still get 3 nags a day to check my settings to make sure Assistant reminders appear in Tasks. Others, same experience? Any way to stop the water torture?
To stop receiving these reminders, you can try disabling notifications for the Google Assistant app or adjusting your settings within the app.
That seems a bit nuclear. I only want to disable that -one- specific nag notification from coming 3 X daily, for weeks. A. To Google, that level of intrusion isn't necessary and B. I found an app that can squash individual specific notifications from reappearing. 'TidyPanel'.
