[Q] Reminders - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Folks
not sure if this behavior is peculiar to nexus 6 or to lollipop. In the past OS's (i came from galaxy s4), your reminders would stay on till you dismiss them - whether they are google calendar or exchange, etc. With this new phone (running shamu 3.97), my reminders automatically disappear. Any way to re-adopt the old behavior?
thx

[Q] Notification repeat

Does anybody know how to change the phone behaviour about notifications?
I.e. I would like to have the phone alert me for new incoming mail just once and not repeatedly. I use the stock mail app and not gmail. Also, I wolud like to know if this can be done changing any parameter (I got my SXL rooted) rather than installing any app. Thanks a lot.
Needless to say, due to the tons of answers, I successfully tamed my phone and it's not annoying me anymore...

No email notification for Gmail, Yahoo, and so on

Hi, one small problem since I upgraded to 4.4.2 stock. I observed that I receive no more email sound and visual notification of newly received emails. Although is I open the application itself I can see several emails that I have received since last time I checked. Auto-Sync is enabled so I do not have an idea of what is going on. Anyone has encountered this also?

[Q] Any way to make Google Now Reminders more noticeable?

Right now, when I asked my phone to set a reminder for X at X time, it adds it to the Reminders section of Google Now. If the reminder is far away, I won't even see it on my phone unless I click the Reminders button at the bottom of Google Now.
Is there any way to make these reminders more obvious or more persistent?
For ex, if I add an event to my calendar, I can view my calendar events for the next X weeks with my Chronus clock widget right on my homescreen. Is there anyway to have my reminders show up on this widget too?
There's probably a better solution than this, but Google Keep widget displays reminders. You would set the reminder in keep rather than Gnow, but Gnow will still detect the reminder

Similar issue
Hi, I have a similar issue: the reminders are not persistent and intrusive enough. My phone may often bee a room away. When it rings, I'll hear, for sure, and most major Calendar/sms/email reminders too, but, the Google Now reminders are sort of "humble", "quiet", very much gentle and in the background. Also, they are not persistent. They will go off, and, if I'm not near the phone, they'll simply go away after a while. This makes it very unreliable, while I believe Google Now could be an amazing tool! Any way to make the reminders keep nagging with noise until you actually click "quiet" or "postpone"?

[Q] Gmail social/promo notifications

Hi all,
I've just upgraded to an N6 from the HTC M7 and having a small issue with gmail and the notifications. I get a notification sound and icon when something comes into the primary tab/label. I do not get any notifications/sounds when something comes into the Social or Promotion tabs. This is how my M7 functions.
I have checked the settings for gmail under both General Settings and the [email protected] which has Notifications and Inbox Sound & Vibrate (Label notifications, sounds, vibrate and notify for every message enabled). I've compared these against that of the M7 and they are like for like.
Right now, the Nexus is completely stock and gmail is v5.0.1 (1642443).
Any help/suggestions as to what I've done wrong would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Eyeloose
Nobody else has experienced this issue?
Just checked gmail again this morning - no notifications but 4 emails in social.

Calendar reminders

folks
in android 4.x, when a calendar event popped up and you didn't dismiss, it would stay there forever
in lollipop, events automatically disappear after a few hours. Any way to replicate the previous behavior?
Thanks
Anybody?

I noticed today that I can't explicitly Snooze calendar reminder notifications on Lollipop, which seems a big miss - there must be a way to do it with native Lollipop that I'm not seeing yet.
In the meantime, I'm checking out the Event Reminder app from Play store as a more functional alternative. It's too early for me to say whether that's what is needed, though.
