Reminder sound on nest hub

Estellegoueth — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 02:21:50 GMT

Previously I was able to hear my Google nest hub make a sound notification like a chime and then read me the reminder . it used to chime two times and tell me that it has a notification. it no longer tells me about notification it just appears on the screen but does not make the sound how do I fix that?

@Estellegoueth

Is your Nest Hub set to "Do not disturb"?

Re: Reminder sound on nest hub

No it isn't. I checked the settings on the Google home app and everything is on.

@Estellegoueth

We don't use reminders. But I found this.

A year ago, Google Nest apparently turned on the chiming sound for reminders. Reddit has posts from customers asking how to turn it off. And there is this thread in this forum, with no answer on how to turn it off:

https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Speakers-and-Displays/How-do-I-turn-off-the-chiming-sound-I-hear-before-I-m-told-about/m-p/14643

Is it possible that Google Nest just turned off the feature?

If it did turn off the feature, how do I turn it back on? According to the information you referred me to they have the sound and can't turn it on. So unless that feature was disabled by the people at Google I'm not sure this helped me. Thanks anyway

@Estellegoueth

I was merely speculating. Last year's post reported that 2 chimes had started to accompany reminders and there was no way to turn it off. Since there seems to be no way for customers to turn it on or off, I was simply suggesting that Google Nest might have just disabled it. Maybe others in this forum know more.

Hi folks,

@MplsCustomer, thanks for the help.

@Estellegoueth, thanks for posting. I know how important it is for you to get your reminders on time. Here is some information on how reminders work now with your Nest Hub. Check the details below.

When it's time for the reminder, the speaker or display will play a sound, and Google Assistant will announce that the customer has a reminder.

On a speaker, the lights will pulse, then a single white light will stay on for 10 minutes.
On a display, the screen will dim.

To hear the reminder, you can use one of these voice commands:

"Hey Google, what's up?"
"Hey Google, what are my notifications?"
"Hey Google, what are my reminders?"

You can check this helpful link too.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Juni

Yes none of this general information has helped. I already know this. You just described what it should do but it doesn't. That doesn't solve the issue. The issue is the sound you mentioned doesn't come on. The reminder appears on the screen but no light or sounds.

Hi there,

Got it. Let’s try this step and observe if this will make a difference. You can do a full reset to put back your Nest Hub to its default settings and set it up again as a new device. Check the step below on how to do it.

On the back of Nest Hub, press and hold both volume buttons together for about 10 seconds. Your Nest Hub will let you know that it's resetting.

Let me know how it goes.

Best,

Juni

There hasn't been any resolve

But if you want to close the thread, I guess go ahead because I got no help with the issue. Thanks

Hey Estellegoueth,

To confirm, did you set up the reminder via voice command or on the Google Calendar app?

Cheers,

Muddi

Re: Reminder sound on nest hub

Estellegoueth — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 00:53:25 GMT

Both. The ones set on calendar do not chime

Re: Reminder sound on nest hub

Hey Estellegoueth,

Please note that if you created the reminder on a mobile device or calendar, the reminder won't be broadcast on your Nest Hub. Please try creating a reminder via voice command by asking your device to remind you of something within 5 minutes. Let's see if your device will have the same behavior.

Cheers,

Muddi

It tells me i have a notification. Once i ask what's the notification, it reads every notification i have for the whole day or week.

Hi Estellegoueth,

Thanks for trying the steps. When one reminder is set to your Google Nest Hub, does it chime or notify you? What about when multiple reminders are set?

Best,

Princess
