Next appointment notification not showing up - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

On the top of the pixel 2 xl where it has the date and weather, its supposed to have your next appointment show up. Its not working for me. I'm using exchange and the appointments show up in the google calendar app, but not on the home screen. Anyone else have this problem or figure out a work around?

You need to have a reminder set and the reminder has to be triggered for it to show up.

Thanks for the help
I just created a reminder, it showed up as a notification, but the widget didnt change.

Does it have to be upcoming, or does the notification just need to fire?

just created an appointment with gmail calendar and it showed right up. Exchange, it doesnt show up

Edit: Appears to be an issue

Same, but I think "Upcoming Event" has a set period of time like it won't show next event if that event is too far ahead. My next event is more than 2 weeks time anyway so will see.
When is your next event?

So you're saying you have 3 events "today" but none is shown under 'upcoming calendar events"?

yes tomorrows event dont show and todays event dont show. Something is wrong.
I see it only does it if you have all day events if you make an event for next day which is not marked all day it will show up.. Is it possible for it to show todays event instead of tomorrows on the widget?
Still playing with it but it doesn't detect either my gmail or hotmail calendar.
I had simular, I found I had not ticked the calander to display.
calender settings-calenders to be displayed-then chose my gmail account.
Also at the bottom which "calender to sync"
Hope it helps

I do have my accounts syned and displayed. Still does not show anything argh
Yeah I noticed the all day events don't show up on the widget either. Which is odd because they show up on honeycomb.
I just changed my all day events to a regular event and it displays fine.
My google calendar events showed up for the next 3 days or 3 events or so, after I dragged the edges of the widget to be as big as I could get it.
I've now switched to pure calendar widget that also gets it's data from google calendar and that's working too (displays the next 10 events in the 4 x 3 widget).
good one, same here, so i am not the only one with that issue, its dont show my facebook calendar events.
For me, widget iis showing all regular events and no all day events, whether today or future.Tapping widget to pull up calendar app shows them but that defeats the purpose. Took Google several attempts to get the Honeycomb calendar widget to work correctly, must be tougher than it ought to be.

[Q] Productivity lock screen issue

Hi,
I'm using the productivity lock screen on the one X, and even though I've specified that i only want to see my Google calender, Facebook birthday events pop up all the time. I unchecked the Facebook calender, but it's still there. Is there any fix for this?
Thanks

I haven't had this issue. But my productivity lockscreen is flickering like crazy!!! A reboot doesn't fix and its only that lockscreen. I don't think really coded this correctly.

Mine too. It was fine for two days and just started flickering today. Maybe the next update will help. A shame, it's really cool when it works.
This is gonna seem like a strange question but did all of you have an all day appointment the day it started going crazy?

I have the exact same problem.
I have both unchecked facebook calendar in calendar settings, gone to productivity lock screen settings and unchecked facebook. I have also repeatedly removed my facebook account but everytime i use the facebook app it automatically synces even when i have turned off automatic syncing. I have revoked all access to contact information via the facebook webpage under application settings. None of this makes a difference.
I am also unable to manually delete the facebook events and birthday events in my calendar.

The appointment that was showing when the problem started is "Tax Day" from Google Calendar which is an all-day appointment. It was fine before that came up. We'll see what happens tomorrow when it's gone. Like someone else said, trying to modify what's shown from the different sources in the lock screen settings doesn't change it from displaying what's already been selected in the master calendar app's settings (and vice versa).

Same here!! Now that Tax Day is gone I don't have any issues. I'm going to create an all day appointment and see if it comes up again. I wonder if an all day appointment has it constantly refreshing that screen.

Weird. I set up an all-day appointment for today using Exchange and the productivity screen handled it fine. Maybe it has something to do with Google calendar. Here's something interesting too. If you slide left or right you can scroll through what's shown on the productivity screen. Pretty neat.

I just tried to do the same and it worked fine. I did try and delete the "Tax Day" event but I couldn't. Maybe how it is made and synced caused the issue.
Had the same issue but:
go to settings --> Personalize --> Lock Screen Style
thumb to Productivity and click "Settings" on the bottom left
where it says "Display calendar events from" simply uncheck Facebook
There I fixed it
Someone already replied with those instructions - which don't work. I've got a gmail account with multiple calendars shared to it. When I uncheck all of them in the productivity lock screen settings, appointments from those calendars STILL show up in the lock screen.
Definitely a bug that needs fixing.
Exactly the same problem here...
I have unchecked the Facebook calendar but it still shows up in the productivity lock screen. This is very annoying!!
If you uncheck everything in the Settings, it won't let you click "OK"...
Yeah,i had the same problem to.I fixed it by removing the Facebook account in Settings and deleted all the contacts that were stored by Facebook.

I would not want to remove my facebook account because of the lock screen
See a nice reply from HTC:
Thank you for contacting HTC!
Regarding your HTC One X issue, please kindly change another lock screen style to check the phone.

Is there any other lock screen that would display calendar items?? Perhaps HTC customer service should use their own product and be more familiar before answering...

You can try and make you'r own lockscreen but without the calendar items.

Same problems here... I have multiple co-workers and family members calendars linked to my gmail account, and their events are all showing up on my lock screen. Like you, unchecking them in the settings doesn't do anything.
BTW, this is on an AT&T One XL.

Too bad I have no idea how to change/modify/create a lock screen...
Any tutorial?
same here
This has been driving me nuts. It only shows one event, some dude's birthday from face book. All I have selected is about three of my google calendars. I have multiple events in the next couple days, none of which are showing up, just buddy's b-day.
My #1 grip with iPhone was lack of lockscreen calendar (after coming form BB).
I am having the same exact issue on my phone as well. I'm on the EVO 4G LTE. Has anyone made any further progress with this?
Edit: still no luck after trying numerous things. I may just have to remove those extra accounts from gmail altogether.
Hi,
on my HTC One S the following fixed it for me:
Settings -> Accounts Sync -> Facebook -> Uncheck Sync Calendar + Uncheck Sync live feed.
Hope it works for you too.
Cheers

google now: next appointment card doesn't show up???

sorry for the million questions today...
my google now doesn't show the next appointment card even though i have events in my gCal... one thing i've noticed is that the google now video has events with addresses whereas mine doesnt. do appointment cards need to have addresses? or can someone help me make htese show up? thanks.
I had the same problem, then I changed the title from dentist to dentist appointment since then, the card shows up with other info like traffic etc.

next appointment only works on default calendar
With my business we have multiple calendars. The calendar for this a calendar for that calendar for the other. But they are all synced onto my android so I can see every different type of calendar. The problem is Google now only shows the next calendar event for the calendar events that I created on my default calendar not the other ones that i sync. That means I miss a lot of meetings. It wouldn't be that bad if I could copy an event that I'm synced to to my main default calendar. But there's no way to do that an android.
Enter only your city for location, no address, apartment, etc. It will work.
If anyone has a better fix, let us know.

This is clearly a bug in the Android version of Google Now. Using the same google account next appointment cards show up fine on my ipad but the android version never shows them no matter what I do. Bit weird that it doesn't work properly on google's own OS.
I was also having problems with this. I saw it suggested somewhere that you actually use the word "Appointment" in the event name. I set up a dummy calendar entry for "Dentist" and it wouldn't pop up. I switched it to "Dentist Appointment" and Google now instantly sent me a notification that "it's time to leave for dentist appointment!" Then you can hit the menu button in the top right corner of the appointment card and choose "Yes keep receiving appointment info" voila. Since then, I've always gotten my next appointment, whether it had "Appointment" in the title or not. I also found it wasn't necessary to add the location, it would show up anyways.

LG G4- How To Show Birthday Reminders?

Smart Notice
I'm trying to figure out how to get it to show me Birthday reminders (I have a Google calendar dedicated to birthdays, titled "Birthdays" just to make it obvious to the phone.). The option is ticked under settings, but nothing from the phone.
What am I doing wrong?
In Google Calendar, go to Menu>Settings>Birthdays (you will see a tab marked "Birthdays" a couple of lines above settings, but that just toggles birthdays on/off). There you will be able to choose which accounts and behaviors you want to use.
However, that just shows a notification the day of that person's birthday. I have not found a setting to show you a reminder say a week in advance without setting up a specific event.

Right. And my Birthday's calendar is toggled in, and I created the birthdays in 3 formats:
1. My 'default' Gmail calendar - created an event titled "Fake's Birthday"
2. 'Birthdays' calendar - created an event called "Fake"
3. 'Birthdays' calendar - created an event called "Fake's Birthday".
All 3 are all-day events.
All 3 lead to the same result: The phone won't even read the name of the 'person', and just shows that it's a friend's birthday.
(see attachment.)

My girlfriend has a G4 as well, and hers will automatically notify her 6 days in advance that it's someone's birthday (with the correct name/ date/ time) and that you set time aside for celebrations. I tried her calendar settings too, and can't seem to figure it out.
We may have been looking at this from the wrong direction. If you go to Google Calendar settings on your computer, instead of your phone, there are more options available. One is to set a notification "X" number of days before an all-day event. I don't know if your girlfriend is doing it that way, but it would be a way to accomplish what you want.

I don't think it's that. I've created multiple events in different formats under different calendars, and the only one that seems to trigger the Smart Notice is if it's under the "xxx's birthday" format. Also, the event must be there 7 days prior (and Google Cal sync that far back) for SN to read it, irrespective of notifications under Google Calendar on the computer.
So anyway, I tried that - and here's what I got today.
Notice how SN reads that it's a birthday from a week before in Calendar, but still doesn't read the name properly again. (slightly different problem!)
http://imgur.com/djyO2UZ
So having a calendar dedicated to Birthdays is useless unless the format of the event is essentially "xxxx's birthday." Wonder if it works for Anniversaries as well.
