Nov 19, 2013 8:48 AM in response to Klahaneby mbaekhoej,My problem is the same as the initial complaint.
Does anybody know if they have fixed it in ios 7.1 beta?

Nov 19, 2013 9:24 AM in response to VITICOby Klahane,I'd still be interested in understanding what workflow causes Reminders to not be in the background.

Nov 19, 2013 11:00 AM in response to umparrotheadby Klahane,No, I get that part, though when I was having the problem, it had nothing to do with Siri.
The part I don't understand is how Reminders goes off the recent apps list and/or is no longer running in the background. I use location-based Reminders every day, and use my iPhone 5 for many other things, and I never see Reminders not working, presumably because it's always in the background.
Or are you saying that Siri- initiated Reminders just don't work? If so, that's a different problem than Vitico reports above.

Nov 19, 2013 11:19 AM in response to Klahaneby mbaekhoej,@Klahane: The problem is that if you create a reminder using Siri, and the reminder app is not running in the background, it will not remind you when you arrive or leave a specific loction. This was not the case with iOS 6, it reminded me even if the app was not running in the background.

Nov 19, 2013 11:21 AM in response to mbaekhoejby Klahane,Got it.
But how is Reminders not running in the background? Does this only happen if you experimentally remove Reminders? Or is there a workflow that forces it to quit?

Nov 19, 2013 11:24 AM in response to mbaekhoejby abw5,I have been saying this for a while now, reminders work if you reset location and privacy settings. The catch is you can't disable any of the location related settings after the reset. My location based reminders have been working for a month now. I use them everywhere and my reminders app is never open in the background. I always use Siri to make them. Feel free to ask me any questions about my settings.

Nov 19, 2013 11:26 AM in response to Klahaneby mbaekhoej,@Klahane: If I force quitting the app, which I do a couple of times a day, the app will not run in the background.

Nov 19, 2013 11:26 AM in response to abw5by Klahane,I use them everywhere and my reminders app is never open in the background.
So what I'm trying to understand is how this happens. Do you manually remove Reminders?

Why do you force quit Reminders ever, let alone twice a day?
Just curious.

Nov 19, 2013 11:27 AM in response to abw5by mbaekhoej,@abw5: doesn't work for me, I have tried it several times.
-
Nov 19, 2013 11:28 AM in response to abw5by VITICO,I did try your method and it worked for 1 day only..
-
Nov 19, 2013 11:29 AM in response to VITICOby abw5,Did you change anything afterward? Also, I erased all my reminders groups and left only the one default reminders list.

Nov 19, 2013 11:31 AM in response to Klahaneby mbaekhoej,@Klahane. I force quit them because some apps use more battery when they are running in the background.
