[Q] annoying google drive offer in blinkfeed - AT&T HTC One (M8)

Hello everyone. I trided to search about this but can't find any resolution so I want to see if I'm the only one facing this issue.
I have an AT&T M8 that I converted over to the developer edition. I'm able to get over the air updates from HTC and running 4.4.4. The recent offer to increase Google Drive to 100GB for 2 years was great. However, I couldn't redeem the offer on my M8. I contacted HTC and they sent me an email to receive the offer and it worked. My biggest problem is that the reminder from Google Drive shows up in BlinkFeed multiple times a day. Most times it is back to back. There isn't a way for me to turn it off from what I can find. And I see that the storage space in Google Drive is 115GB so I already got the offer.
Any insight on how to get rid of this?
Thanks

I'm having this problem too. Anybody have a fix?

I too am having the same problem, but on a Sprint HTC One M8 Harmon Kardon edition. Removing it from the blink feed does not get rid of it permanently, it just comes right back, like the OP says, in a pair of reminders.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I found solutions here and here

HEEELP!!! Play Music says I have too many devices

I just rooted my Rezound, s-off, Venom Rom. Installed play music logged in, but.when I went to play a track it said you are only allowed 10 devices registered. I haven't registered 10 devices, 7 show up on the play website, some duplicate. It will not let me remove any devices and I only own the rezound, and one pc that is registered. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, is there anyway around it or to fix it? Thanks
From me to you with this Snake bitten cellular thing
you need to go to your music settings and deauthorize some of the older ones devices... when you flash roms it thinks you are on a new phone so you may have to do this every once in a while.

There is no option to deauthorize devices, in the app settings or on the web. If you have a link or screenshot, that would be uber helpful
Edit: I got it fixed. Idk why I didn't see that before. Thanks

Amazon Appstore is the same way. I saw I had like 6 devices listed on Amazon's site because of the different ROMs I flashed on my DInc. Removed the old entries and now I'm back to where it should be.

[Q] Setting reminders with Google Now.

I just got my Galaxy Note 2 replaced under insurance.
I am trying to get functionality back that I had before.
I used to be able to say something like:
"Remind me to call so-and-so tomorrow at 1pm".
And it would work flawlessly and alert me at that time.
Can someone please explain how I get this functionality back.
Does it have something to do with Samsung's calendar app? It works find for alarms, but it also used to utilize the calendar.
It's extremely frustrating because I used it all the time and now it won't work
nevermind... I just had to update Google Search. Works now.

[Q] Google Now Reminder Alarms Not Working- It's Driving Me Nuts!!!

I hope someone can suggest some ideas. I've been trying for months to get the alarm notifications to work on my Verizon S3. I've spent hours and hours for month after month looking at the forums, and have not been able to fix it- I really, really would like to get this to work!
The problem is, I never get alarm reminders for either:
- time to leave/traffic alerts when I have upcoming appointments
- reminders based on location
I've tried everything I know of in the book- I need an expert to please help me get this working!!! Either I'm doing something really stupid and missing something, I have some setting(s) wrong, or Google Now is somehow broken for me. Sorry for the frustration...
I'm running a Verizon S3, with 4.2.1 and recently I rooted the phone (the notifications have not worked since before nor after the rooting- I did it for other reasons).
PLEASE HELP!!!
Please- any suggestions? I'm willing to start at the basics (in case I missed something) all the way to the complex. I really could use some advise on getting the alarms to work on Google Now notifications...
I've had the same thing happening for about 2 months now (from August 2013), and even with factory wipes and firmware flashes it hasn't come back to me. :/ It's worked once or twice but I haven't figured out if I had done anything before hand to get it back. Then afterwards it stopped working again.
Same for me yet. I've hard reset both my S3 and my Nexus 7, and not luck. Rarely do I get any notices, and if I happen to, it's not at the right time. Must be on Google's end on my account or something. Very, very disappointing, with little hope if it's not specific to the device...
Me too! Try this....

Also happening to me on my Note 3 t-mobile. I have flashed many roms. I even reverted back to stock, and did an OTA update to 4.4.2 and so forth.
The only thing that made a difference was if I sign in to Google Now using my backup Google account, then IT WORKS! So I think that Google is having problems on the back end. There is absolutely no difference between my Google accounts. Why would one work and one not work? I've been posting it all over the web and Google tech support. You should too!
Solution Found
I found a solution to the problem. After being a die-hard advocate for Android, I gave up about 6 months ago and bought an iPhone. It works wonderfully, and does everything it's supposed to, when and where it is supposed to. Reception and voice recognition are better than my S3 was too. I've given up a few things (customization, screen size, etc.), but I finally have a phone that just works. I can add apps, delete them, change settings, etc., and things don't get screwed up; and I don't have to hard reset and start over with my phone again. Plus, most of the Google apps are available on the iphone, including Google Now.
I may look at Android again when version 5.0 comes out; but even with that, if it's my account that's messed up, I doubt I will ever get it fixed...
I really liked Android, but I finally got soooo tired of having to spend so much time getting it to work...
Google now reminders not working possible solution
Okay so I purchased a phone LG G Flex unlocked from T-mobile and using on Metro PCS two weeks ago, prior to this phone I had a Note 3 and used Google Now to set remianders with no problems. When I activated my FLEX and started using google now it did not remind me, i could see the reminders on google cards but no notification and or finger with string in the notification bar to actually remind me. I was really bummed and fustrated as I depend on the reminder function alot. Not having any luck getting Google Now remainders to work I started searching for other apps simular to it, just something to remind me. But funny enough all the others application I found on the app store would do the same thing NO reminders, so I started thinking it may not actually be Google Now but something on my phone. I finally found an application called Robin that did work but gave me my reminders about 2 or three mins before or after the set time, nevertheless it was working but early or late notifications still bothered me. So i decided to turn off the automatic time zone/Network provider time and Automatic date and time/Network provided time and that did the trick for me. I started up Google Now and set like a hundred reminders to test it and they all came in on time. I dont know if the phone being unlocked and used on another network made the network time buggy but as long as I keep the automatic date and time off it works well. I dont know if this is the solution for everyone but it was for me. hope this help.
Fantastic and detailed reply- thanks!
I also switched phones, now I'm on a LG G3 (love the phone)! I seem to be getting almost all of my notifications now, but I'll try to pay a little more attention to it, and keep your suggestion in mind if I'm having any troubles. Thanks again for the information!

Can Google now show reminders while offline? I know I cant set or delete a reminder offline. But can it remind for an already set reminder offline?

New LG G3 not receiving push notifications for Hangouts. Kicker: It's running 4.4.2!

Halp!
I'm losing my mind trying to figure out the issue here. SMS works fine. Hangouts will only notify of a newly received message if you open Hangouts and are on the conversations list screen (main screen). If you are in a conversation it won't even update of the newly received message until you back back to the main conversations list screen. Doesn't matter if it's on WiFi or mobile data. This is a brand new phone that I bought about a week ago and for the record I'm using the same phone I bought a month ago from the same seller on the same firmware. The only difference is that mine is rooted and I've frozen or uninstalled most all of the bloatware and VZW bullcrap. Otherwise they're identical and one has what seems like an app bug but the other one does not.
I've tried numerous things before posting here (to include lots of searches that only seem to turn up similar issues for those who updated to Lollipop) including uninstalling Hangouts updates as well as Google+ updates as per one thread I saw. Neither had any affect on the issue. I went into the user's Google account to see if any other devices were signed in currently and it doesn't appear to be the issue.
My next step is to root and see if freezing the same apps corrects but where it sits right now would make a warranty exchange through the seller a little bit easier I would imagine.
I'm not really sure what else to try short of accepting the OTA update (Lollipop) which will w/o a doubt introduce more problems than it fixes based on what I've read. Not only that but my LG G3 is functioning just fine on 4.4.2 so I see no reason why the same device shouldn't perform the same on the same firmware version. Makes no sense.
Can someone help me out here?
Thanks!

Advice on how to proceed

Hi all,
I have an old HTC One E8 (OPAJ5) with Android 6.0.1 on it. It is currently rooted (I believe through HTCs website and instructions). This phone is no longer on a cell plan, but I would like to give it new life for playing music, using whatsapp, etc...
My question is what is the best way to go about this? It has been reset, but google play and a few other apps crash constantly. There are also a bunch of Sprint apps that could go away. I am not past using a different rom, but I am way out of practice on that. If anybody could be so kind as to offer any advice I will take a look and see if I can get it done.
Thanks in advance
