Heys guys I recently updated to the newest version of google now.
I am using a Galaxy S3 with the Free sonic rom. Latest Jelly bean release. Everything has been stable including google now. I use the google now feature to make calls, send texts, or set up appointments when I'm on the go. Its really helpful since I don't have to type out anything and simply say it. What made it more useful was that the app closed after I sent a text or made a call. After the update the app stays open and has to be closed manually with the back or home button. I want to know if anyone else has this issue?
I tried resetting the app then I tried to reset my phone and none of those methods work. I eventually deleted data information of the app but that did not correct the issue. Luckily I had a back up of the previous version and google now works the way it did before.
If anyone has an idea on how to fix the problem let me know or tell me a method to contact google so they can fix this small but still annoying problem lol. I know I am nit picking but It been this way for a year and to change it bothers me. :crying:
Could somebody please help me about making a calendar entry? I feel pretty stupid about this whole thing, I can say to Moto 360 "open calendar app but it only seems to open it on my phone". Is it possible to say make an appointment for Wednesday the 25th? Seems like I have no problems with anything else like sending text messages and getting directions but this is driving me crazy. Thanks for any input you can give me.
I haven't been able to figure this out either.

Set reminders
I've been able to set "reminders" that only exist under the Google Now home screen. Try this voice command: "Add reminder. Whatever whatever whatever at 9am tomorrow." I've used the "Add reminder" command quite often and it works very well.

You can just say "remind me to take out the trash tonight".
Unfortunately I need calendar items and it seems, inexplicably, Google Wear doesn't support it.
What about these:

https://ifttt.com/connect/google_calendar/android_wear
no luck.
No Luck this is a bummer. I would like to just add a calendar meeting. Just by saying add calendar event tomorrow 9am meet with John Doe.

This is definitely a bummer like you said, but now I'm just using "add a reminder" hoping that the next version of android Google L will do the job.
Sadly, Android Wear is more of an extension of Google Now, than an extension of the Android phone...
It'll get better, though
I can't even get it to set a reminder. It tries to save and says "Sorry that didn't work. Try again"
Help!
Moto 360 degrading over time

After 3 weeks with my Moto 360 I just started having problems of all sorts, including no longer being able to set a reminder. I do everything the same as I've effortlessly done over the last 3 weeks ... "Ok, Google ... Remind me to <blah blah>" and it just shows a Google search of a webpage I can open on my phone. Reminders have worked dozens upon dozens of times over the last 3 weeks, and now not at all.
I've uninstalled Android Wear on my phone, restarted, Reset device on my watch, waited a long time, followed the on-watch prompts to reinstall Android Wear, re-paired Bluetooth, and so on. A few times now. Same thing - super basic smartwatch functionality of my Moto 360 has spontaneously stopped working over the last couple of days.
If I say "Ok, Google ... Remind me." and pause my watch will display a prompt that says "About what?" and if I say something it just says it can't reach Google at the moment. But it can! All my notifications from my phone are still working, and if I ask a random question ("Ok, Google ... who is the Prime Minister of Canada?") it pops up a response just fine. It's just all the really useful and core smartwatch stuff that has been hosed.
It started with the time being incorrect on my watch, whilst it remains totally correct on my phone. I've had to restart my watch multiple times per day to get the time set correctly, I've Reset device several times now, etc.
Overall, my Moto 360 experience is severely degrading over time. :crying:

What kind of phone? Is it at least android 4.3?
used to work fine
Yes, I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 with 4.4.2. And as mentioned, Android Wear and my Moto 360 have been working great for me for the last few weeks then all of a sudden - wrong time. After a bunch of complete wipes / reinstalls AND calls to Motorola support just to be sure and also to loop them in on problems, my AW experience continues to get worse.
However, it appears I'm not unique in this. I just checked the comments on Google Play for the Android Wear app and it looks like a lot of people are having similar issues with the October 6th update - incorrect time, inability to set reminders anymore, etc. Let's hope Google and/or Motorola read and respond and fix the problems ASAP!

Which versions of AW are you on? I'm still on 1.01.
Any solution for the problem? It's really annoying, someone??

Hiya, it seems the reminder functionality uses Google Now, so if you've disabled Google Now on your phone, it'll tell you that it can't make new appointments every time you try...
You can add reminder to Google Now remind section not on Google Calendar.
If you want add entry in your Google Calendar you can use an App named "Calengoo".
With this app you can add calendar entry and also entry in your Google task.
With this app you can also dismiss or snooze Calendar Event when is send to Wear device.
My Moto 360 showed me incoming facebook messages no problem, but I have never once seen one on my Huawei watch. I've tried resyncing the apps, re-pairing the watch, enabling all permissions for all apps involved, everything I can think of. Anyone have this problem and solve it?

Accidently blocked notifications from FB? Check Android Wear app.

Checked it. Not blocked.
Did you get an answer?
I just got an original Huawei watch yesterday (on sale, Amazon), and everything seems to be working as it should be except Facebook Messenger. After much tinkering, I am able to receive messages occasionally (not every one), but my only option to reply is a thumbs up. I can't send out on Messenger at all. Is this just the Huawei watch, or is it an AW 2.0 problem? I really want AW 2.0, but not being able to use messenger is a deal breaker for me. I am thinking of returning the watch, but for what? If the other AW 2.0 watches have the same problem, there's little point. Thanks for any help you can give me.

When I created this post, I was on Wear 1.5. Since 2.0, the problems have been fixed for me. I get notifications no problem.
Swipe up on the thumbs up to get more options. Select voice if you want to reply. Even though it says voice, you will be given the option to use the keyboard to respond as well.
Messenger on Huawei watch
I've just got an original Huawei watch and I'm using it with a Umi Super . Having downloaded the Facebook messenger app, when I open it on the phone I get a message saying "To use messenger, install the app on your phone first".
I already have messenger installed on my phone and no matter how many times I uninstall/reinstall. This is I get.
Has anyone else had this? Or have any ideas how to solve it?
Thanks
Same
I have exactly the same problem
Not sure how long this has been going on, but this AM all of sudden got an ad about wining a new iphone x schedule on my Calendar. Calendar just updated last night. Uninstalling and rebooting back with older version didn't get rid of it. Adblocker didn't remove it either.
Running August update with Sultan's kernel and rooted.
This is the reason I keep Root. Hate to think I have to go backwards to a different release of Android just to avoid this kinda crap.
Anyone know a fix yet? Can't work on it my self at the moment am at work, but by Saturday rolling backwards if it can't be fixed yet.
Thanks, hopefully I am not the only one who is really irritated with this.
My wife started getting these on her 3 XL. She is not rooted so you don't need to worry about that. She doesn't use the actual Google calendar app but uses business calendar instead. When she complained they told her to follow the instructions on this link.
Hope that helps
It's nothing to do with the Pixel, specifically, but rather people taking advantage of a Google Calendar feature.

@KingMike67 @Phantom_DJ, Thank you so much guys, just got home and checked the setting based off the link and that was it. Just caught me off guard this AM at a bad time and the last thing I want to deal with is being pestered about ads and or someone able to mess with the one thing in life I have control over (my phone LMAO) everything else is screwed with by someone, but my dog, wife, and phone are the things I don't take well when someone screws with.
Thank you again guys!
Anyone else have calendar events not showing up? I have an event scheduled everyday that isnt showing a notification. I’ve looked at the usual stuff, notifications are on for calendar, etc....I have an iPad that’s also connected to the same gooogle calendar and they come through fine on it everyday. Anyone have any insight?
Is there an alert added to the calender entry? Like 10 minutes before?
Thanks for replying. There is an alert set,...it was for 10 minutes before, that didn’t work so I changed it to at the time of event, and that didn’t work. I read somewhere that it was because of the last update, so I uninstalled the update and it worked this morning. I’m going to give it a few more days to see if it still works and if so I know a calendar update came out yesterday so I’ll update to that and hopefully I won’t have to worry about it anymore.

I used to have problems with my calendar not firing alerts or just firing late on previous phones. Then I found an app on GPS called Events Notifier For Calendar (by RYO Software.) There is an XDA thread somewhere about it. I've been using it on my last three phones including this one and I feel it is indispensable! (As for the GPS rating, my guess is user error for most of people's complaints.) But it has never failed me and the developer is extremely helpful. It's probably one of the first 5 apps I now install on every new phone.
