Google Now reminders not working.

[Whyareallthegoodnamestaken]

No matter which type of reminder I set (when or where) or whether I do it by voice or text, they won't notify me. I get a card on Google now showing up but no notification sound or anything in the notification tray. I have notifications turned on in Google Now settings. Is anyone else having this problem?

Recently tried Google Now notifications and hit the same problem.
Pretty useless for reminders without a pop-up and the phone waking and the light flashing.

Yeah there are lots of threads all over the net with people having the same problem, I noticed. As yet, Google hasn't even acknowledged it.

Perhaps they will with Android L. Their whole notification system is getting an overhaul.

Yes, that's a good point. Personally though, I think their reminders system overall needs an overhaul. Having it spread across Now, tasks and keep makes it all very inconsistent.

Just tried the AcDisplay lock screen (recommended in another post on this forum http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-m8/447953-has-anyone-tried-lg-optimus-lock-screen.html) and there is an option (not the default) which allows Google Now reminders to produce pop-ups
