Hi,
I have a problem with the Google app reminder feature.
When I create a notification with voice command, like "Ok Google, remind me to call Tim today at 16:00", the reminder is created but at 16:00 there's no notification of ringtone.
The reminder is still there when I open the Google app.
The same problem exists, when I create a notification inside the Google app without voice command.
How can I get it working? It's really annoying because I use it very often. Siri worked not as great as Google with it's voice recognition but the reminders worked perfectly every time.
Is it also possible to make a reminder as a calendar entry with voice commands?
Greetings,

Hi I tried the voice assistance app Lyra that I think is pretty good
I like the google assistant and still want to use it. Even though I need the assistant in German, I like system integrated things.

I'm trying to use voice actions since Google added spanish support. It works fine in the sense that it recognizes commands easy enough. But when I tell it to "Call whatever" sometimes it will look up a contact in my contacts but some times, to my infinite annoyance, it will show some random person I'm assuming it found on the internet or google or god knows what.
Any idea how this is happening??
Thanks
Wondering if anyone uses Google Voice as their primary number for texting and calling. Do 3rd party SMS apps allow you to use your Google Voice number to text? Also, I don't know why but I was using it before but sometimes I wouldn't get text notifications, or there would be a long delay.
Yep. I use hangouts to text/mms.
I too use my Google voice number as my primary number. Sometimes there are some hiccups but for 99% of the time it's perfect and easier now since the hangouts integration.
Same here, hangouts works great for Google Voice SMS unless you're using Android Wear. When I send an SMS from my smart watch it won't use hangouts, using my normal cell number instead. Setting Hangouts as the default SMS app doesn't fix it.
I even take it a step further. I setup Google Voice to ring my SIP number. So when I'm on wifi I have tasker turn off my cell antenna. Saved a lot battery life on my S3, just testing it on my N6 now. I still get calls through SIP (people calling my google voice number) and I can dial out on my google voice number using hangouts dialer and use hangouts for SMS. When I'm not on Wifi, Tasker and secure settings turns off SIP calls so I don't get calls twice.
I noticed that since yesterday, Google Now seems to have gotten reduced functionality, namely, in setting reminders.
I used to use voice commands all the time to leave reminders, specially location-based ones.
I noticed now that whether I say "reminder" or "alarm" it sets an alarm... and can no longer set them to a specific location like "remind me when I get home to..." and only at a specific time.
I also noticed that it appears to be hooking into HTC's own Alarm app instead of using it's own alarm/notification system.
Is this something HTC updated in it's internal apps that is taking over the reminder/alarm feature of Google Now? Or is Google Now itself doing this from adding support for notifications from 3rd party apps? Any way to revert it back?

it's driving me crazy! I need my reminders back!
Known issue for the past few days. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/websearch/vu0eMzw83MU[1-25]
From what I've read you can type in the reminder and it'll work. It's when you do it via voice and it has to go out to google servers does the bug pop up. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.
Hi All,
One of my more useful apps in the past was "Agent".
When driving, I could have it read messages out out loud and do voice reply to them.
The voice reply doesn't seem to work on MIUI 8.
Does anyone have any alternate suggestions?

After installing these profiles GH will announce incoming calls and read incoming text messages including the name of the caller/sender or ph#.
Auto-Read Incoming Text Messages Demo
1. Download and install Tasker and download and sign up for AutoCast BETA (you will need the full paid version). Also download Announce_Incoming_Calls.prf.xml and Auto_Read_Message.prf.xml
2. Once you have received the AutoCast BETA update via the Play Store, open the app, select "Manage Cast Devices," press +, then select your Google Home.
3. Place the xml files from Step 1 into the Tasker/profiles folder (if these folders does not exist then create them). Open Tasker, long-press "Profiles," select "Import," then import the xml files.
4. Back-out of Tasker to save the profiles. Done!
Google Home will now automatically announce incoming calls and auto-read incoming text messages using your phone's preferred TTS engine (you can disable by setting your phone to silent). Enjoy!
**Important**
- GH must be connected to the same wifi network as your phone.
- Turn off battery optimization for Tasker and AutoCast or your device may disable these apps when idle.

Glad it worked!
Is there a way to make the "Announce Incoming Calls" program answer the call as well? I know Google Home currently has the ability to initiate an outgoing call. Thanks.
Please please help

Whenever im using any of the AUTO plugins, it always just starts playing the same random song. Whyyyy?
I have set everything up as directed and there does not appear to be any errors. I am getting all of the IFTTT and pushover notifications on my phone. But no message actually sends.
