Google assistant - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Anyone got the update on the m9? If not,how to force it?

I think I did yesterday. I never really used Google Now, so it's hard for me to know whether what I'm seeing is Google Now or Google Assistant, but when I long press the home button, I get the search functionality, ability to set reminders, etc. Also, I can say "ok google, send a text to..." and it will do it. I'm not sure Google Now could do that.

Yeah thats still google now which got an update yesterday. Still waiting on the google assistant update. It should ask you if you want to use assistant when it updates I believe.

Got an update this morning but still no assistant

when setting up first time after clean flashing and doing tapgo to transfer accounts from a nexus 5x (no assistant ever), i had assistant start when i got account transfer complete. longpress on an O key would launch the assistant. Couple of hours (and reboots) later it became google now again.
Go figure.

After about 15 mins it became assistant again magically. Ho.

Just recieved google assistant on my C185 mate 9 middleeast version.

Just got Google Assistant
I had added "google play services' beta a day or so ago, but it looked like it never updated
this morning, i pushed the O [looking for google now actually, i was driving] and up popped GA! so i had to pull over to finish the set up,

is there a way to enable this in the chinese mate 9? also is there a way to check if google assistant is already installed? I received a bunch of google updates last night

same also got it today.... i have two google accounts on my google now. one gmail and one regular email. i only got the GA on my gmail one..... so make sure your signed in through gmail

Waiting for Google Assistant on mine. I have the L29 C185 middle East version. Any way I can manually or force the update on mine?
And just to clarify this is a world wide release right? Doesn't matter where you are as long as your device is set to US English and running marshmallow or greater?

Got it yesterday Bro, just pressed and hold the circle capacitve key.

Same here. Got it yesterday
One of the good thing about having installed XPrivacy is that it notifies me about every single update - even the silent ones like play services that update in the background
I have 4.2.39 as well... Figures .42 will come eventually
What's so great about the updated service? Never really worried much about it.

4.2.42 Brings back the nasty Location Services Wakelocks that was present prior to 4.1x play services.

I ended up downloading the Play Services update manually to use Allcast, but I'm not having any luck with it. I can get it to cast, but streaming video stops to buffer every few seconds from start to finish, making it unusable. I've only tried videos I've taken with the Nexus 5 itself so far. Anyone else experiencing this?

YES i noticed this same issue. My phone has been sleeping like a baby for so long, and yesterday it started draining every couple min with that location wakelock under Google Play Services.

The same here with v4.2.42. On all my devices Play Services are shown under Settings - Location Service and tell me that a little battery has been used. The devices are set to "Device only" (just GPS) and all the usual crap has been disabled (Search with Now, Google+, Hangouts, ...). I'm wondering what else needs my location. I do not want to disable also GPS to stop this.
I also have this version v4.2.42 but only save mode in Location settings and I don't see Google Play Services in the list of battery consumption for the moment.

My google play services and play store stops working from time to time. When I look at my Settings->Accounts, my google account disappears. This happens randomly. Did any of you experience any of these?

Mate 9 Chinese version, no Google contacts...

About all setup with my Mate 9 (Chinese version). I got updated OTA to 135 and got GMS and Play all going.
However, I can't get Google contacts on it. App won't install from store, says incompatible ... anyone got a workaround? Last thing I need to get to using this otherwise awesome phone as my daily.
Answered. Wasn't sure I trusted all mirror but trust Duraaraa.

hey,I'm from China and I think there is an app called google installer which is designed for your problem
Since google is not available in China ,google services are simply deleted.
Usually,we use that google installer to plant google services in our system(VPN needed of course lolol),but they work only on 5.0 and 6.0 the last time I saw them
you can still give it a try though,this app can be found on cool market(very powerful app market,we use it as a replacement for google store)
just search cool market on google and you will get it
Hope this can help you
Yep, GMS Core puts the base services on, then you can add Play store and the rest. Got Contacts from APK Mirror.

Has anyone got Google Assistant yet?

With Google rolling out Google Assistant to all MM and higher phones, our Mate 9 should also get Google Assistant. Has anyone got it yet?
Nope
Yes. L29C567 here.
I keep getting a HiVoice error though out of nowhere on homescreen and when I'm trying to answer the phone.

Out of curiosity, how do you know when the updates done? Did something show up on the screen prompting you to activate it?

Edit.
I replied with the wrong info... So I updated to B167 and then just updated the Google app.
AzureLightPKK said:
When it finished downloading, it prompted me to perform a "quick update." Or you can go back into system update and click it manually.
Sorry I am new so I don't know how to quote.

Just disable "OK Google" detection from any screen...

Disable "voice wakeup" in voice control setting to get rid HiVoice...
but at the same time, "OK Google" detection from any screen also not working...
unless following steps as stated at the link?
https://www.xda-developers.com/enab...ord-detection-on-huawei-honor-phones-no-root/
i have got it but i can only use it when the screen is unlocked. I have the l29 636 b158 version.
I keep checking, but nothing. I was in Denver through Friday, and in Las Vegas until tomorrow, and no luck. I'll keep trying, because I'm ADHD like that...=).
I got it... I entered Google app beta program.. have my phone on Us language. Turned on WiFi. Next day in the morning had my assistant.

To get it you should have your phone's language and Google's language set to English US. And maybe the beta for Google Play Services.
As soon as i changed the languages to US i received the assistant (can take up an hour or 2).

Google Assistant now on Note 5 !!

I'm super stoked that the Google Assistant is FINALLY on the Verizon Note 5. For anyone who doesn't yet have it, be sure to update your Google and Google Play Services apps, and you should now have the full, official Google Assistant in all its conversational glory.
Has anyone found any cool easter eggs or just awesome functionality? I've noticed that you can actually activate with Screen-Off by using S-Voice to first wake up the phone, then say OK Google when on the lock screen. A bit wonky but it works in a pinch and is super useful when your hands are full...
I like the texting feature. I can text and drive now.....legally?

Yeah but that was possible even before we got assistant....It was part of google now.
I could get Now to open my messenger but I had to type the message. Assistant will open and understands speech very accurately so no more typing

That's odd, I never had a problem with it, I use extra, but other sms worked just fine for me too.
