Can't get reminders to notify, either in notification bar, LED or alert tone. They show up in Google Now after time expires but don't seem to interface with the device OS. Running pure stock, s-on. Any fix for this?

i would check your setting inside your settings for your notifications and make sure that reminders are set to ON. Don't know if you are, but try doing a reminder in the calendar app. Also, try different ways, like hourly, daily, specific times. See if any of that works.
All settings have been checked thoroughly. The problem is exclusively with Google Now. Others have also reported this problem with the HTC One and other devices. Just haven't seen any fixes or explanations for this issue yet.

Is this feature working normally for anyone? If the problem I've described is uncommon, I may do a factory reset. Thanks!

I get most notifications, however I do not get location based reminders (ie buy milk at store...).

I'm using Google calendar app. I wonder if that conflicts with the HTC calendar app and stops reminders. Anyone using both and still getting Google Now reminders to fire off correctly?

I use google now reminders probably 15 times a day. Never missed a single one

I use google now reminders probably 15 times a day. Never missed a single one. I also use google calendar for some things, but not necessarily for the same reminder.
Thanks. Keeping fingers crossed that 4.3 fixes this. I'd really like the functionality. May need to factory reset (PITA).

I've had issues from time to time with Google now. It will be streaky. Sometimes I can go about having a full week where it will remind me to leave for an appointment about 1-2 hours too late. Or sports scores are severely delayed. (1-2 days)
This has happened to me on a variety of devices. Nexus or not. And I do nothing to fix it. It just seems to fix itself. I figure it's just a weird glitch/bug in the server side with google.
Ok I change my earlier comment. It happened to me today. I never got a reminder I had set earlier

Basically, if you can't rely on every pre-set reminder to notify you, you can't rely on any reminders.

Yep. I no longer trust it. Doesn't really matter though since it is not working at all. I set reminders for 8 straight 1/2 hour time frames today and was not notified of any. Yes, all my settings are correct. I can see them in google now but nothing shows up otherwise.
OK. Problem is now, apparently, fixed. I uninstalled Google Calendar app and set up the built-in HTC calendar app to sync with my Google calendar. Also made sure notifications were on in settings. Took a while, for some reason, but now both time and location-based reminders are coming through for the first time: alarm, LED flashing and notification bar icon (finger with bow tied on it). Clearly, the problem was conflict between Google calendar (a somewhat better app in my opinion) and the one that comes with the device.

I assure you it had nothing to do with Google calendar app. Mine has not worked at all for a couple of days and I was testing it all day and night. All of a sudden it started working late this afternoon without me changing anything. This was on Googles end.
I think you are exactly right.

Hello,
The first week I got my GN, Facebook notifications were working like a charm.
Lately they stopped working completly. Both Facebook and Facebook Messenger.
Is there a real push alternative rather than the intrigrated one? They always seem to fail somehow?

It's Facebook's fault, their apps suck.
Logout from the App and log back in and adjust your settings again. Sometimes that fixes it.
Tried logging in and out with no luck
Is anyone else experiensing the same problem?

I'm getting notifications just fine if you go into the app settings you can set notifications within facebook rather than on the phone. alternatively you can sign up for mobile alerts or email notifications on facebook website from your account settings .

Well, I dont like email spamming from Facebook. Thats why I turned them off.
I've set notifications ON only in the app itself. Never seen such settings on the phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Lol there aren't any on the phone I just wasn't sure if you thought there were. alternatively you can set up a new gmail account dedicated to your facebook and have notifications pushed there. Personally I just set a filter in my main gmail account 4 anything with the word facebook in the email address to go to a custom facebook label. I like to have access to those notifications in the event that comments are deleted or I need to refer to something. Although this means every time I get a facebook notification it's immediately followed by an email notification.

I've solved that by installing facebook messenger, works like it should within couple secs after a message is posted.
is it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.
Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?

Check that Google Talk connects to the Google Servers - you don't need to use it - but all push notifications will stop if Google Talk cannot connect to the Google Servers.

I removed the permissions on facebook (the website) for sense and deleted all data for all 3 friendstream apps, after a while I got one message, unfortunately it was the last messege I had already recieved. I really believe it's a serverside issue. I have seen this before, also with other 3rd party FB widget....

To rule out a push notification (C2DM) issue - you need another app that uses Push Notifications - like Twitter or something.
Got Twitter and that doesn't give any notifications either...

OK - so try the following:
Open Google Talk - Sign Out. Sign back in.
Check Android Settings > Accounts & Sync to see if there is a problem with the Sync service.
Check Auto Sync is switched on - and try toggling it off and back on.
Reboot the phone.
For info - I am getting Tweets and Facebook notifications fine here - so there is nothing wrong with either service.
Check the links above, you might receive some types of notifications but all, it's a confirmed server side error
Ah well guess I'm gonna need to wait till the next update is out...

I don't know, really....if you check their bug tacker it could be all sorts of issue where messages made from certain apps don't trigger notifications, there are many different types of notifications, some migh work, some might not. I got using facebook via mobile apps (htc, samsung other 3rd party apps)since 2010 and it just happened a few times before and then after a while it will start working again.
If you want it working use the official facebook app, it usually keeps working until the problems are fixed. If you have cleared the data for friendstream and facebook, removed the right of the friendstream app and started over there is nothing more you can do
I am using the official facebook app (came with the phone) and never used friend stream or tweetdeck..
I have done a factory reset and also disabled friendstream but still no notification... Rage !!

Ok, so ever since kit kat update, the stock email app has become completely useless. The drag and drop feature has been removed and now I cannot delete not move my emails.
My question is what alternatives are worth looking into. I'm dabbling with Aquamail, but it is so focused on multiple accounts that it's features are driving me crazy. Is there anything out there that can match the old stock email app or should I give up on managing my email on my tablet?

I'll put a shout out for Light Flow. It lets you customize notifications in a very detailed way. It started as an LED flash customizer, and built up from there. I've got three Gmail accounts on my phone... each has a unique sound, LED color, and vibration assigned. So, I can hear, feel, and see the different notifiers. Works great if I'm in a meeting with sound and vibrate off for discretion. a quick glance at the phone shows me if I've got an email in to my "important" GMAIL account, and a different color/flash rate if there was a text waiting.
Check it out. There's a "lite" version of the app but I'm a paid user... it's worth every penny.
