Google Now Location-Based Reminders Not Working Well at All

[kit7kat]

Did any body found a solution yet? I tried google now setting today for Costco. Although phone recognized the location, it did not remind me about my reminders. I use LG G2 kitkat 4.4.2 with verizon and very good LTE signal. Any help will be appreciated.

found a solution, at least for my LG G3. i always have wifi and gps on (from the drop down menu setting), but there are 3 GPS modes if you dig deeper.

go to settings, then location, then click MODE.

mine was set to "Device Sensor Only", i changed it to "Battery Saving" and set a reminder for home (while i was at home). the reminder came up within a couple minutes.

"high accuracy" also works. not sure how much more of the battery it will use though.

let me know if it worked for you

S3 settings are a bit different than for the G3: they are GPS Only, Power Saving (uses Wi-Fi and mobile network triangulation) and High Accuracy (adds in GPS). I use High Accuracy all the time. Sometimes location based Reminders trigger, sometimes they don't. However, I almost never get Google Wallet Loyalty Card location reminders, which really annoys me.
