[Q] Google Now reminders gone crazy for anyone else? - Moto X Q&A

Starting last night, setting Google Now reminders is no longer working correctly. I'll issue a command to set a reminder at some time in the future (like "remind me to do something at 9am tomorrow"), the screen that comes up has the right date/time, then when I say "yes" to confirm, the confirmation screen that comes up has the reminder for three hours earlier than I asked for (6am). I can reproduce this 100%. This was working fine earlier in the week. If I issue a command to set up a reminder in 15 minutes from now, same thing, it gets set for three hours in the past on the final confirmation screen and says "this reminder is in the past". I'm on an unlocked Moto X, 4.4.3.
Thought it was just me, but it's now happening to my wife as well, she's on a locked Moto X (AT&T), 4.4.2.
I Googled around as much as I could and couldn't find anyone else having this specific problem. Can anyone confirm that this is/is not happening to them?

Make sure your date and time settings are set to automatic or, if not, make sure the correct date, time, and time zone are correct. I think may have a problem there. I just used google now to set an alarm in 15 minutes and set a reminder for 8:00 am tomorrow and they are both correct. (T-Mo, 4.4.3, unlocked)

That's the first thing I checked, on both affected phones, settings are correct. Thanks for the tip though. The strange thing is that the first GN screen shows the correct date/time, but the confirmation screen that comes up after you confirm the reminder has the wrong time.

Wipe cache and data for google search under settings->apps then log back in to Google Now, see if anything changes.
I can't reproduce the behavior you described unfortunately so I have no way of troubleshooting it on my end.

Just tried it, no luck.
Another interesting find: when it asks for confirmation of the reminder date/time, if I say "yes", it sets it for three hours earlier which is then displayed on the confirmation screen. However, if I click the on-screen button to confirm the reminder date/time (instead of saying "yes"), then the alert is set for the correct time.
And again, this is happening on two different Moto X's running two different versions of Android...

No, been in the same house for over 10 years. Haven't been out of my time zone in over a year...

If your rooted try uninstalling google search, reboot, then reinstall google search from play store.
Also check your calendar apps (stock any any 3rd party) to see if any manual time zone issues are there. Since no one else can reproduce it, its probably something on your device.

I tend to agree with you, except that the same problem started affecting my wife's phone on the same day. Other than both being on AT&T, she's stock 4.4.2 and I have an unlocked DE with 4.4.3. Both using stock calendar, time zones are correct. I'll try uninstalling GS but that won't be an option for her.

Same Issue
I have the same issue, reminder is getting set 3 hours prior to the time I specified.

Even worse
mine is same but worse...it sets the reminder 12:30 hrs before the mentioned time...i tried at 11:00 p.m. ..it gets set at 10:30 a.m. :crying:

same here...
I have pretty much the same problem and I think I kind of understand what is happening...
Ok, when I set the reminder by voice on Google Now, say "remind me to check the oven in 20 minutes" he will do just that, until now everything is going smoothly, but then it asks me "do you want to set it?" and when I reply "yes" it reloads the screen and then, for some reason I can't understand, the clock now shows 4 hrs late... It will even show me a message "this reminder is in the past"...
So, it happens on the reload, every time it reloads the remainder's clock is set back 4 hours. If I say just "remind me in two hours" it will set the clock correctly, but as soon as it asks me "what is the reminder?" and I say "check my pizza" it will reload the clock back 4 hrs, and finally when it asks me if I want to set it and I say "yes" it reloads again and sets me back another 4 hours for a total of 8 hours...
Note that if after you ask google to set it, you just click "remind me at this time" (set it manually with your thumb) it will not reaload and therefore never get a chance to alter the time of the reminder...
It is a very weird problem.... I wonder if anyone will be able to shed some light on it.
My device is a Galaxy Nexus running android 4.3, and it is rooted.
Thanks in advance

Well, sorry it's happening to you, but I now know I'm not the only one (I was starting to question my own sanity).
Yes, what you describe is exactly what I described in the first page of this thread - confirming with voice causes the problem which is then evidenced on the reload of the confirmation screen, but confirming by clicking the on-screen button sets the time appropriately. Thanks for confirming. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to correct the problem. I reported it on the Moto X users forum on Motorola.com, but you confirmed it's not specific to the Moto X, which is useful information.
Also, this does seem to be a fairly recent problem, at least for me - this was working fine earlier last week.

Same issue as well
Got the same thing happening on both my Moto X and Nexus 7. -3 hour time difference.

i have confirmed the same issue with Moto G...me and my friend both have this issue on X and G...the reminder sets 12 hours/12 and half hours in the past...so it seems to be a Google problem and i guess it has something to do with the time zone..

Me too have this problem on moto x. Mine is an Indian one.
When i say - remind me to check game in 20 mins, lets say the time is 7 40 pm, it displays correctly the time as 8 00 pm.. But when i say yes as confirmation, the page reloads with time as 7 20 am.
Tried with time setting as network and manual time.. Both has this issue..

I was able to create the problem with the voice confirmation of a reminder. My reminders step back one hour. I'm in the Mountain time zone, so it resets my time to Pacific time. If you are in Central time do you reset 2 hours? East time zone resetting 3 hours?
Edit: 'Set alarm for 1 pm today' works fine. It looks like just the reminders are messed up.

problem is...
Yes, the time is "set back" only once it reloads, and every time "google voice" has to reload it is "set back" again.
To me it is clear it is a google problem, likely a problem in the integration between "google voice" and "google calendar". Maybe?

UTC -3 here and the time is reset 4 hours.
And yes, the problem occurs after voice confirmation, but more precisely after google now refreshes the page.

Exact same issue
I believe this is a Google now issue and not specific to the device model.
I tested it out on my brother's Moto-X and also on two other Nexus 5 phones and the result was same, the reminder was set back by 12 hours and got set in the past.
From India, GMT +5:30.
Hopefully google resolves this bug soon.

It's also happening on my Galaxy S5. I have to add 3 hours to any spoken reminder request (EDT). Hopefully it gets resolved soon.

whatsapp is driving me crazy

Hello everyone, here's my problem. It's been many days that whatsapp is not working as it should. Sometimes (very often, actually), the app appears to be "frozen", as if it is offline. The problem is that when this happens, I don't receive any message or notification. If I manually open the app and I tap on a conversation, the "seen online at X pm" don't show up soon and I have to wait different seconds. The result is that I receive messages with different minutes of delay, and only because I manually opened the app!
For example, I was talking with a friend before, I sent him a few messages, then I got back to the home and put the phone on the table. 15 minutes later, I opened the app because my friend wasn't answering and I had to wait a few seconds until the message "seen online at..." appeared: when it did, I received a message from him sent 10 minutes before. This happens in 3G and 2G. I reinstalled the app, I did a full wipe of the phone but I don't know what else to do. I thought it was a connection problem, but it's been days :crying: If necessary, I'm using Prime HD 8 (and this happens with Prime HD 9 as well)

My sim has always been in in my phone, I checked every option and FAQ. The problem is random, not always... for example now it seems to work. I'm starting to think it's my operator's fault. But I can use the web normally, the problem is just whatsapp... dunno

Couldn't it be because of you have disabled in system settings, accounts and synchronization that applications can sync in background, or disabled automatic synchronization?
Try to check in ACCOUNTS AND SYNCHRONIZATION.

[Q] Delayed Notification in Stock ROM

I just upgraded from Note 2 to Note 3. My push notifications (for gmail, hangouts and facebook chats) are delayed by 15 mins to upto 2 hours in some cases. I never had this issue with Note 2 (4.1.2 stock), I always used to get notifications instantly. Now with note 3, I receive all notifications with delay and all of them come at the same time after the delay.
I created a text file and I logged my wifi connection using tasker. Wifi doesnt get disconnected, its always connected. My wifi sleep policy is to have wifi always on. I know I have steady wifi connection cause I am using it with other devices.
This occurs only when the phone is idling. If I am actively using it, it works fine. But this is really pain cause whenever someone sends me "instant message" I usually get it after an hour even though I am in full wifi coverage (60Mbps)
Anyone else experienced this problem with their android devices lately? Know of any solution?

I had this happen like one time and never looked into the cause of it. It never reoccurred so I just kind of shrugged it off. That's really bizarre...
Just got a note 3 a week ago and all my push notifications (whatsapp, facebook, etc) are delayed when the screen is closed. When it is opened, it delays less.
I tried using the PNF app to change the heartbeat (the non rooted version), messed with all the configurations on the wifi (it happens with wifi on or off).
Still happening after 2 weeks!! No one else having the same issue?

I have same problem. Took back my first note 3 thinking it was defective and the new one doing samething. Frustrating.im thinking I'm gonna have to go to different phone sadly
I got the same problem. I have a European version. Sent it back to Samsung but they couldn't find something... Did anyone found a solution yet? Because it's really frustrating.
As of late, I have been running into similar issues, though they don't seem to on a permanent basis (sometimes I get notified within seconds or minutes, sometimes it takes a few hours or until I unlock my device).
My phone is a german version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running the Samsung stock Android version 4.4.2
One of the possible causes for this upon which I stumbled during my search for a solution was that the push connection might time out once in a while and take up to half an hour to be reestablished due to the long heartbeat interval set in stock Android.
But since the interval should be between 15 minutes (WiFi) and 28 minutes (3G) as stated in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142503, this would not account for notifications being delayed by several hours or even not to arrive at all while the screen is turned off.
Does anybody know whether Samsung stock might be implementing some kind of additional sleep mode which might prevent the connection from being reestablished by heartbeat monitoring and maybe even how to turn this 'feature' off without root (last thing I heard, rooting a Note 3 might trigger an e-fuse used as additional security measure for Samsung KNOX, but also allowing them to entirely refuse hardware warranty on rooted devices)?
Thanks!
I sent it back 2 times now, but still no solution. I also want to try a custom rom to see if that fixes it, but I'm also afraid that I lose my warranty if I root my device. If anybody can confirm that the stock rom is the problem, you'd help me a ton!

I do face this problem on my note3. I already do hard reset few time but still delay on my whatsapp and yahoo mail. Im using Note 3 LTE running Kitkat 4.4.2
I guess no one has a solution for this yet?
The problem is not app specific. The delay in notification happens all across the board. When my phone is sleeping, i dont get any notification. As soon as I wake it up, all notification come at the same time, including Yahoo mail, Gmail, hangout messages, whatsapp, Google voice, twitter and others.
It seems like the wifi/data is disabled when phone is sleeping. I double checked in the Advanced Wifi option that wifi is always on.
Why only few of us are seeing this issue?

It most likely only happens if the provider (your router for wifi, your carrier for 3G/4G) closes a connection after a certain amount of time goes by that it's not used. The heartbeat (the phone sends out a message on the connection every x minutes) keeps the connection open. Either 4.4.2 doesn't send the heartbeat any longer (it's not really part of Android, so there's no guarantee that Google will keep it when they update Android), or the provider of those people seeing the problem has a shorter timeout than the 15 minutes(wifi)/28 minutes (3G/4G) that the phone uses. PNF allows you to shorten the heartbeat time. 5 minutes is usually short enough to work for any connection, but you can shorten it more if you need to. (It won't use more battery - sending a keep-alive message takes a lot less battery than reestablishing the connection.)

tbh, didn't notice that. only one thing i noticed, is that for some reason, under date+time, i have utc +2 and there should be +1 (yes, it is set to auto ). but even with it, time is accurate... resetting phone might solve it.
not sure that will help.. I already reset the phone twice.. My time zone is +3 but even when i set it to +3, the time looks ok, but when the screen is off for long time the clock is delayed to 1hour_1.40 hour..

Delayed or not receiving Notifications?

Hi everyone,
I have had the Moto G 2nd Gen for about 10 days now and I have noticed that notifications from several apps (Exchange email, Gmail, Whatspp, Facebook...) are either delayed by a few hours or don't come at all. This happens on both Wifi or my network. Has anyone else experienced this ?
I have tried the following with no success:
1- disable Wifi optimization
2- factory reset phone
3- Installed PNF No-Root and set hearbeat to 5min
4- Cleared data & cache of apps
My phone is not rooted running 4.4.4
Thanks
Yes I am having the same problem this is my thread on the subject:http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/notification-problems-t2875216
I have tried 1, 2 and 4 of your attempts to fix it to no avail.
Before I reset the phone all notifications showed the correct time that they should have come, for example if I slept the phone at 10:40 and a notification came at 10:44, I then woke the phone at 10:50 the phone would immediately buzz and sound but it would say the notification came at 10:44 in the notification draw.
However after the factory reset of the device in the same situation the notification draw would show 10:50 but I know that is wrong because WhatsApp for instance will say the correct 10:44 timestamp on the message in the app.
Notifications when the phone is awake come through perfectly every time.
The problem is actually not limited to just notifications, I play music from my phone, when the the phone is awake it plays perfectly, when you sleep the phone, the music will carry on playing but occasionally it will have a hiccup where it will stop playing for a split second then carry on, and sometimes at the end of a song you expect the next song to start but it never will, if you then wake the device the song will start playing like nothing was wrong (exactly how the notification problem is).
I don't know what the problem is I suspect something to do with bad software or faulty hardware if there is a specific part of the hardware that only comes into play when sleeping (I don't know if there is or not).
What are the specifics of your phone? Mine is a XT1068 8GB Dual SIM Retail GB completely stock 4.4.4, the system version is: 21.11.14.titan_retgb.retbgall.en.GB retgb, will be good to know if this affects specific versions of the phone or any version, to narrow down the problem.
The problem is also completely random I cannot 'make' the problem happen it just does.
Mine is the same as yours XT1068 8GB Dual SIM Retail GB 21.11.14.titan_retgb.retbgall.en.GB retgb.
I also have the same problem with music, I also noticed this with chromecast, it seems to loose connection after playing one track.
I contacted Motorola assist and they said replace the phone. I'm not sure if replacing it will solve the problem, I'm guessing this is a software issue. I
I got it from Amazon UK, I'm thinking of returning this and going back to my Galaxy Nexus and wait for the new Nexus phone.
Because we have the same software version I more strongly suspect this is a software issue now, I'm not sure what to do, I don't really want to return the phone as I will be left phoneless and a replacement would just come with the same software.
Another option would be to re flash to a different software version (an international version) but that will invalidate the warranty.
Not really sure what to do, would be good hearing if any retGB people are not having any problems, if any are reading this thread? or if any non retGB are having this problem.

Yes I am having the same problem this is my thread on the subject:http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/notification-problems-t2875216
[...]
The problem is actually not limited to just notifications, I play music from my phone, when the the phone is awake it plays perfectly, when you sleep the phone, the music will carry on playing but occasionally it will have a hiccup where it will stop playing for a split second then carry on, and sometimes at the end of a song you expect the next song to start but it never will, if you then wake the device the song will start playing like nothing was wrong (exactly how the notification problem is).
I don't know what the problem is I suspect something to do with bad software or faulty hardware if there is a specific part of the hardware that only comes into play when sleeping (I don't know if there is or not).
What are the specifics of your phone? Mine is a XT1068 8GB Dual SIM Retail GB completely stock 4.4.4, the system version is: 21.11.14.titan_retgb.retbgall.en.GB retgb, will be good to know if this affects specific versions of the phone or any version, to narrow down the problem.
The problem is also completely random I cannot 'make' the problem happen it just does.

:\ it doesn't look like that app fixes it even when changing the interval to 1min.
I've sort of found a way to at least make it happen to test stuff, using 2 devices I have installed Telegram on both and set each device up with different numbers so I can message from one device to the other, using the other device to the Moto G if I send messages sometimes the notification is instant, sometimes it is a minute later, there is no pattern on whether it will receive it instantly or delayed, however waking the device will always make the phone buzz if it is delayed.
If I add my tablet into the mix (tablet and Moto G on the same number) the difference is very stark, sending 5 quick fire messages the tablet buzzes for every message, the Moto G may buzz for the first and maybe the 2nd but then nothing for the other 3, or none at all, or none and then double beep on the last message or a little time after the last message. (all this is on WiFi)
The best news is that it has eventually beeped within a couple of minutes for every message, but in a conversation on WhatsApp a couple of minutes is a long time.
Again if the phone is awake or playing music while sleeping it works perfect a beep for every message every time (WiFi Again). (I know PNF is only a partial fix for WhatsApp and Telegram but I can't test it easily with Gmail and the main concern is WhatsApp as I want those messages without delay)
It's definitely something to do with keeping the phone 'active', if it's playing the music it works, if it's doing nothing it is literally like it's sleeping on the job.
I'm going to test on 3G but seems to work almost perfect so far (I haven't really used my phone on 3G much as I'm normally on WiFi)
@katkat911 can you tell me about your WiFi setup it isn't TP-Link is it? because I'm wondering if it could be a WiFi setup issue as my phone originally couldn't even detect my router until I changed some settings. (I know you have the problem on 3G too)
Apologies if this is a bit rambly I want to put my casual findings out there in order to let others have the information.
Been testing on 3G, after the phone is slept all notifications work perfectly for 10 minutes with the phone buzzing a second or 2 after my tablet, if you sleep the phone and send a message after 10 minutes the phone will only buzz after 30 minutes from being slept (ie the heartbeat).
I've reinstalled PNF app and will experiment more tomorrow, still not sure how I will fix WiFi but I think a little more experimentation is required (yet doesn't make sense why my tablet always works 100% and the phone doesn't when using the same router)

I agree with you that it has something to do with phone going to sleep. My WiFi router is Netgear. I have they same problem with every other WiFi network and also on 3G. I didnt have this problem on my previous phone Galaxy Nexus.
PNF doesnt seem to work at all.
Notification problem is proved. I also have the issue. that 10 mins theory is absolutely right. as both of you have done good research, I would suggest one of you create a question at https://forums.motorola.com/hives/e3ec93b1d7/summary and summarize all your findings. Some one from Motorola will respond definitely. I see this as a deep sleep issue with the kernel. Once submitted, you can share the link of your thread here. I and others will comment confirming this as a common problem.
You may have to first register with your moto id or may be google id.

I have posted this on the Motoral forums here https://forums.motorola.com/posts/dbb4806484
I have been experimenting again today, the problem is significantly worse on WiFi notifications are much slower than on 3G, the problem seems completely unreplicable, sometimes notifications come though aOK even after I have left the device sleeping for an hour (using WiFi) or sometimes the notification will be delayed for several minutes even if it has only just been slept (again using WiFi), 3G on the other hand there is a definite 10 minute cut off from sleeping the device.
I've had PNF installed since last night and it doesn't help WiFi at all, but 3G it might, I say might because sometimes after 10 minutes (even an hour later) if I send a notification I do receive it straight away (something that never happened before I installed PNF) but then sometimes it doesn't and it's delayed for several minutes again.
I will join the Moto forum and add my weight to that when I get back to my computer as you need to sign in with a Google account.
I've also noticed that if the phone is sleeping whilst charging notifications work flawlessly in much the same way playing music while the device is sleeping they do. I've posted this finding in the Moto forums as well.
Fingers crossed we get a solution :fingers-crossed:

I have also noticed that. It seems that many are having this issue, so far no reply from Motorola
Motorola might be investigating about it. Yesterday i went back to dalvik from art. I tested the notifications the while day. On Wi-Fi, i didn't see the delays any more. In 3g many tests were successful even after 1hr of deep sleep. Only at 4pm India time i found a delay of 22 mins for whatsapp notification. There i also realized that it had switched to 2g due to bad signal in that room. I was definitely having problem when i was on art. Last night i also got the ota for build 23. I see that the kernel is updated. I will monitor one more day and report here.
Motorola has at least seen the post even with no reply, I just hope they are busy behind the scenes working out what is wrong so they can fix it.
I've never used ART (I'm completely stock), and all the problems are still happening today, unfortunately Telegram is being DDoS'd today so haven't been able to test anything out.
It will be interesting to hear if the update you received helps in any way, esp with the updated kernel, since your retGB device received it hopefully ours may do soon too.
As far as I can tell it doesn't affect calls and SMS, but I simply don't use SMS or calls at all (WhatsApp ftw) so my testing has been the odd 'prank' phone call from my 2nd phone and it rings every time, but it's not enough to confirm if it's a fluke or if in fact it does not affect phone calls/SMS.
SMS and calls won't be impacted due to this. It's mostly related to deep sleep state of the phone. It will impact data connectivity mostly.
I have been testing as and when possible after the update. On Wi-Fi, I didn't see any delays for WhatsApp, Facebook notification, exchange mails through nine app even if the phone was in sleep mode fur an hour or so. I saw 1 min delay in Viber twice.

That's good news, hopefully the update has indeed fixed it, there's no indication when the update will hit the UK but if it does fix it then ASAP I hope.

How is the phone with the new OTA update ? are notifications still delayed?
There's still no word from Motorola

In a different thread Motorola amin had mentioned that they are investigating the notification delay issue. I don't see much delays after the update. There are few mins here and there, but mostly good. If you haven't received the update yet, check the ota thread and update manually. It's the same update. Then see if you find any improvement.
I got the OTA update yesterday and I'm still having the same issues

Can I turn off the damned "Ok Google" splash banner?

Google must think we are idiots. They force us to look at that stupid "Ok Google" banner every time the watch enters bright mode - as if we somehow forgot the magic words since the last 300 times we said them.
Is there a hack to turn this off? Thanks in advance.
Ok, just figured this out i think.
You can permanently disable the "Ok Google" banner by clicking the fob, saying "Ok Google", then clicking it again to dim. Repeat this 5 times and the "Ok Google" banner should permanently disable. I guess Google figures we have it figured out by then.

Change your watchface, and it appears again There is no way to get permanently rid of this blight!

Not correct. If you follow my method the banner will never come back. Changing watchfaces has no effect, at least under 5.01.

Thanks! Indeed it stays away now, lets hope i do not need another system reset any time soon
I was thinking after you "kill" it it stays gone till reboot.

Confirmed with 5.0.1 - the banner does not come back after a reboot or after changing faces.

If clicking it doesn't work just use the OK Google command for some random searches about 5-6 times and it will definitely not appear anymore after you've done so. Had the same issue initially but found it disappeared after a few uses.
I have had it reappear twice now (went away after one 'ok google') while i have followed the instructions, not a clue why it did, the last time it just was there when i pulled the watch from the charging cradle..
There are some external watchface apps where you can take it out if you're into those at all.
It is a cue for saying OK Google...
Do random searches 5 times by saying OK Google..(OK Google.. What's the weather..) Let it finish searching each time.. It will be gone... It will reappear if you reset your watch or after a new update... Do some Search 5 times again

Yeah, did that, following the method described somewhere on the first page of this thread, i was assured it would be gone, over and done with, and would not even reappear after a reboot, but it does, kinda random, and always gone for a few days when i 'Ok Google' once.
But it should not happen as i have done the 5 times and such!

I've had it also reappear (and disappear on it's own) a few times the last 2 weeks. No idea what the trigger is it was gone after the last update for at least 3 weeks before it came back.
