[Q] Syncing Issues - Gmail & Google Voice - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Howdy!
So - I'm coming from Galaxy Nexus and love this phone. However, I notice that Google Voice (in particular) doesn't seem to notify or sync well. My settings are fine and it works sometimes but more often than not, I'm not getting the notifications for new messages.
Gmail also seems to be affected but less so.
Anyone else having this issue?

[Q] Reminders wont save in Google Now

So I'm having issues with google now and reminders.
Be it manually entering or by voice, it shows the reminder saving, but then never appear in my upcoming reminders list.
And obviously, no reminder is played when the time or location comes.
I'm running stock note 2 rooted.
I tried updating to the 4.4 google search along with the launcher, but that didnt fix the issue. So I revert back.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Well, I decided to upgrade (complete wipe) and using a new rom.
Reminders still do not work.
They do work in google Keep ... which is only a work around. However, I found out something interesting.
#1 - I'm not the only one having this problem. And it seems to be random, across multiple devices, including iOS.
#2 - I tried logging into google now with my other google account and it worked!
So something is up between the google account and Now's sync... I can only assume.
Does anyone know of a setting withing gmail or your google account that can cause problems? I tried comparing my two accounts, but couldnt figure it out
Sounds like a Google issue for sure. I'd report it to them.
Experiencing the same problem

I am having PRECISELY the same issue. It started at random, but now my Google account will not display notifications for reminders. One day they were all working perfectly. The next day, they all just stopped cold turkey.
I used my backup Gmail account, and BAM they worked! Just for that account however. After I switched back to my primary Gmail account, they still would not work. I tried so many roms and methods, but I can only conclude that it must be a google account problem. I have been all over Google Dashboard and through every single setting.
I am running the Galaxy Note 3 on T-mobile (hltetmo) with JediElite 4.4.2. Has anyone experienced the same issue?
Thank guys!
UPDATE:
After starting to look again (and actually coming across my own question on google lol) I got it working!
It must have been an update that changed or even added the option.
Just for the hell of it, i was going through the "customize" options and found "Continue to get reminders"
IT was set to "no"
As soon as it turned to yes, all of my test reminders showed up.
recap:
open Google Now > select the "magic wand" on the bottom right > Select Everything Else > set "Continue to get reminders" to yes

Google account sync running non-stop

For about a week now I have been experiencing some strange syncing behavior on my Google accounts sync and it is driving me crazy. What I am experiencing is my Google account syncing non-stop, over and over again. As a result, battery life is taking a hit. As far as I know it is centralized to the Google accounts.
What I have tried:
Restoring phone to stock firmware using LG flash tool (issue eventually started again)
Removing additional Google accounts
Turning off data and unchecking all the sync options for the google account and one by one turning them back on (this works but only if I uncheck everything besides gmail, app data, and calendar)
Downloaded a contacts fixer to make sure there are no broken contacts to sync.
While it doesn't sound like an issue that should be isolated to the LG G3, I have seen similar issues based on some Google searches from other LG G3 owners. I would love to use my phone as it was intended with multiple Google accounts and all accounts syncing correctly.
Has anyone experienced this annoying issue or if anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.
I believe I have the same thing, like you for about a week.

I first though that maybe installing all the new updated versions of the Google apps that just came out is causing the issue, but haven't verified that. Do you remember anything that may have triggered the issue for you?
Thanks!
I believe it kicked in when I updated gmail, with the app now handling other email servers.

I believe you are correct here, my sync icon stays up of late until I swipe away gmail in the recent applications...

Gmail notifications not working after phone is unused for a while

This is driving me nuts, i rely on email, coming from push blackberry email this is not desirable at all.
I've tested the Gmail app and also the OS email program and both more or less do the same thing. If I'm actively using the phone the notifications come through fine, if i leave the phone on my wireless charger i do not usually get any notifications after it has been sitting on the charger for about 20mins or longer.
I have deleted my gmail account and added it nothing, reset the gmail cache in app manager and nothing. I'm also not the only one with this problem it appears. It is a new phone so not sure why this is behaving this way.
Any help is appreciated. S6 edge, on ATT
This is a software bug, i have tested multiple third party clients and they works fine. It is either related to Google GCM or the app itself has a bug. Shame b/c others on the s6e are experiencing the same thing.

Google reminders sync problems

Hello guys
I know this question was asked a lot of times already, but I couldn't find a working solution yet.
I use two phones very often; A OnePlus 5 and a Samsung Galaxy S6. Both are connected to my Google account in the Google app, and are running Android 7.1 Nougat.
But when I add a reminder on either phone, it never shows up on the other, neither in the calendar app. Other syncs like notes work just fine.
Has anyone an idea of a fix?

Galaxy S9+ Notification issues

Hi all,
I have been searching for this for a while and haven't found the answer anywhere.
I have 2 problems with notifications on my S9+ and can't figure out how to fix them - hopefully someone here can help.
1. Gmail: I have 4 different gmail accounts on my phone, 3 of them show up notifications no problem, but 1 of them for some reason doesn't. The one that doesn't is the most important one however, and the default account for the phone.
I have gone through what I can see for the settings and duplicated everything between the different accounts and I have also deleted the account and reloaded it and still no joy.
From what I can see it is still syncing and retrieving the mails, but just not telling me if there are new ones there.
Any ideas?
2. Whatsapp: This may not be an issue with my phone, but again hopefully someone can help. I have a wearOS watch and up until recently whatsapp notifications were coming up on the watch no problem before one day just stopping. I am not sure if any changes occured (add update etc.) that caused the notifications to stop.
But what makes this one strange (to me anyway) is that all other notifications come up no problem on my watch, however I also have a fitbit which retrieves whatsapp messages but these are still working fine. Both watch and fitbit worked fine with whatsapp notifications previously just in case anyone thinks there might be an issue having two wearables taking the same notifications.
Hopefully someone can help me with 1 or both of these issues.
Thanks very much,
N
