Google Assistant glitch? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi, just recently after updating to Feb patch everytime I tell Google assistant to remind me of something, all of my past reminders, even ones I deleted, also come up. Additionally, what is even weirder is sometimes it just reminds me of old reminders that I deleted at random times, even though my reminders are empty.
I already tried clearing data for Google, and it's still happening. Anyone else with this problem?

This used to happen to me a while back, couldn't find a fix, so I just stopped using reminders and instead use calendar events with a notification now. Does pretty much the same job and I just delete the calendar event once I'm done with whatever the reminder/event was

Also having this issue recently. I wonder if this is a known issue und will be addressed in the future.

Sense 2.5 Favorite People Disappear (Sync Issue?)

I was wondering if anyone is getting this same error, from time to time a contact or two from my favorite contacts tab just disappear. It gets quite frustrating and I'm not sure if it's my method of syncing or something else. I'm currently using NuevaSync to sync my Gcal and Gmail contacts. What's everyone else using if they're trying to sync multiple Gcals/contacts?
Very late to this thread, but yes...having the exact same problem. Sense 2.5/Nuevasync/Google Contacts. Favorite people keep going away. Did you ever figure this one out?
Same issue here... I've had this issue for a long time now. I've Googled the heck out of it, found lots of people complaining but no one offering up any explanation or solution.
i had a contact just dissapear. ive had the issue a few times before too. i just readd the person and it normally doesnt wig out again for quite a while.
It's like a game of "whack-a-mole" for me. One disappears, I re-add them, then two more disappear. Every day.
In addition to vanishing contacts, sometimes it will re-arrange my contacts. It will also randomly change information sometimes too. Once, it renamed one of my contacts to "Customer Care." All the other info -- picture, phone number, e-mail -- were unchanged. My guess is it is some sort of Activesync issue, but I don't know.
i had another one disappear today. weird.
I could be way off-base here, but it seems like it happens when I get an email from one of my Favorite contacts.

Notifications not working for apps

So ive had my S3 since the beginning of November and have had no problems. Around the beginning of December I did an OTA update to Jelly Bean and everything was working great. Christmas morning comes around and i was recieving notifcations through all my apps like normal, but starting in the afternoon notifications stopped from such apps as Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat..etc. I checked setttings and all notifications are turned on for each individual app, i went under accounts and sync is turned on. Went into the individual app and checked settings, logged out and back into them. Went as far as to uninstall everything and reinstall the apps but still no notifications are coming through. Ive turned off and restarted the phone. Its becoming a real pain now having to continiously check all my apps to see if ive recieved anything.
I did a google search and found a site where someone else was having the same problem but there were never any resolutions. Has anyone else here come across this problem and know how to resolve it? am i really going to have to reinstall the OS to fix? it seems odd that my text and kik are the only ones that still recieve push notifications. Please let me know, its driving me crazy!
Twitter has done this for me every upgrade for months. I can correct it by going to settings, click my account then notifications, change something, hit back, wait for the toast to say it was saved then change it back.
Facebook used to be similar, but on the new more native app I have yet to get the notifications to work completely att the time for replies and a few other things.

Gmail not syncing properly since system update

Hey guys,
A few weeks ago my Verizon Samsung Note 4 received an OTA update - nothing major, I believe it just added some security patches and removed some bloatware. But since then, my gmail app has not been syncing properly.
The sync is definitely still ON, because it does sync sometimes but it's very sporadic. But it's not syncing as soon as emails come in, and often it will take a couple hours for new emails to show up (which I can see if I'm home near my computer). Some mornings I'll wake up and my emails from overnight will be there, and some mornings, nothing will have synced from overnight.
And as far as I can tell, there's nothing specific that finally prompts it to sync (in other words, turning my phone on, or simply opening gmail doesn't make it sync. It just seems to be totally random).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!!
Dude I though it was me.. I been having the same problem. Anyone else having this problem and figured it out?
Same
I got the 5.1.1 update 8 days ago and exact same issue. I've been through 3 factory resets both using previous backups and starting fresh. Also used troubleshooting fixes from other posts... clearing data, clearing cache, turn sync off/on, removed/added Google account, etc. Nothing so far
Same issue here...
Strange. I've also taken the update (actually, if memory serves, there were 2 updates within a couple of weeks) and aren't experiencing the problems you all are seeing. I know, that doesn't help you any.
Hmm, well it does help to hear from others that are having the same problem, so at least I'm not driving myself crazy trying things that won't fix it! Thanks for the replies.
And of course, if anyone has any solutions, I'd still love to hear from you too . . .
I know this also is not much help, but I've sent an email to the Dev but no reply yet...
Same here in note 3 and since updating gmail app my gear 2 no longer gets notications from gmail even when gmail DOES show up on phone notifications.
Leave it to Verizon to screw everything up after finally making some big progress with the first 5.1 update. That update fixed SO MANY issues I was having with the phone. I was ready to switch to a new one, but the update made me want to keep it. Then I wake up to see this latest 2nd update was installed without it asking me, and now I am having major issues with things like Gmail not syncing, but also answering a phone call is horrendously bugged. I will have to swipe the green answer button like 8 times before it actually picks up the freaking call. My wifi will randomly stop sending and receiving any packets and my signal will just drop out completely, airplane mode doesn't fix it and it requires a hard reset. Like holy hell Verizon, what the actual freak do you guys do to your phones...

Gmail Syncing

Is there anyone else having problems with Gmail not syncing? I have searched and saw issues with the Nexus 6p but it keeps happening on my 5x. Is there a known workaround for this?
-Thankx
I'm not having issues on my 5X, but I use Inbox instead of gmail. However, read the following article. There are issues being reported.
http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/nexus-users-on-android-marshmallow-report-google-sync-issues
Gmail struggles to sync on my phone as well. I don't know of a way to fix it yet.

Same here. I don't get notified of new emails until I open the app. Haven't found a fix yet
Glad to see it's not just me. I've cleared data/uninstalled about 10 times and couldn't get it to work. Seems to sync fine on my Samsung Note 8.0
Maybe the Gmail update today fixed it. I actually just received 3 emails in a row without opening the app and manually syncing.

disabling battery optimization for gmail can help with the problem, but even that doesn't get rid of it. however i as well noticed gmail notifications being more reliable with th update currently being rolled out.
I just sent a test email and i got it immediately. Maybe it's working...
Its been better for me today. Its still spotty though.
Mine is spotty also. I often miss gmail for hours so today I updated the gmail app. Now my gear 2 no longer gets gmail notifications! It gets the others but gmail is most important. Really pisses me off. I checked settings and gmail is still checked under gear notifications and gear still allowed under security and gmail notifications and sync still checked and working.
I just installed inbox and that is working perfectly. I have updated my Gmail and it still isn't working for me.
I am using an unread counter that only supports gmail (novalauncher/teslaunread), i read the email in Inbox but Gmail still thinks there is an unread mail HOURS later. Annoying.
Also spotty. The one that I tested worked fine, but a different account didn't update until many hours later.
Wow, glad it's not just me. Been driving me crazy today trying all sorts of things to fix this. Will keep an eye on this here for updates.
I have an LG G3.
No improvement here on my LG G3 running Marshmallow. Is this fixed for the rest of you?
My moto and sammy both still have the problem.
This has been a recognized issue for a couple months now. Google announced on 10-Feb that they were rolling out a fix server-side (i.e. not a system update or app update) that should be reached globally within a week. Since then, however, there has not been one single report of consistent Gmail/Inbox notifications. It's gotten quite ridiculous.

Did some more testing and found what's causing me the issue, but it's very strange.
I cleared data and cache in gmail and started fresh. Everything works fine. As soon as I change days to sync globally to more than the default 60 or if I got into manage labels and change the inbox specific sync to ALL (which is what I want, I only have about 70 messages in there), gmail stops syncing completely. If i go into accounts->gmail, the last sync time never updates again after I change the days to sync in gmail.
Anyone else want to test this?
My sync is only 30 days but I still have the problem

If I change to to something else and then back to 30, it doesn't fix it. Have you cleared gmail data and cache and confirmed it doesn't sync without touching any gmail settings?

Calendar not showing notifications

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.
