Assistant Not Working - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

My (Google purchased) Pixel, which is rooted on the May update and utilizing the V3 boot signor, is having troubles running Google Assistant. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? I can get to the screen where you 'train' Google Assistant to listen to your voice say "OK Google" but for some reason, it doesn't hear me at all....
Any thoughts on this one??
Thanks!

I had the same issue. GA just randomly stopped working and I couldn't get the voice training to work. I turned the phone off completely. A complete shutdown, no reboot. Gave it about 30 seconds and turned it back on. Went into the settings and then tried again and everything worked just fine. No issues since.

Have you checked if your microphone works in other apps or while in a call? This phone has known issues with the microphone failing.

[Q] Google Now Broken Since New Update

Has anyone else had a problem with Google Now not detecting the hot word since the app got updated recently? I can uninstall the update and it works great, but as soon as I update, it stops working. Almost like it can't use the mic when you haven't actively pressed the mic button on the search bar. I can go into settings and try to re-train voice model, but when I try, it doesn't seem to pick up my voice. Not a huge issue, but annoying as crap.
For what its worth, I'm on straight un-rooted stock 5.0.

Sony SmartBand Talk SWR30 problems (calls and notifications)

Hi guys,
my girlfriend has a non-rooted lollipop standard firmware Galaxy S4 and 2 problems with the Sony SmartBand Talk SWR30, one quite-solved.
1) Bluetooth calls stopped working after you made 2 or 3. Reading on Internet I discovered it was probably a problem with "OK Google" feature. I stopped every "OK Google" and "Google Now" feature and now seems to work fine even if sometimes happens again and you need to reboot phone and band otherwise all calls received or made from band are directed on phone.
Before stopping "OK Google" she also had problems with voice commands from band that stuck immediately (tried different settings on phone and app without results). Now works quite-fine using the Samsung voice commands.
2) If you swith on the notifications in the phone app after one or two days (or caused by something, I'm not sure because it's not my phone) they auto-turn off. Still have this problem.
Thanks for reading and help!

Google Now problem

Hello everyone!
I noticed a problem when Google Now's "Ok Google" detection is turned on. The problem is that it uses the mic all the time (ok, it's normal as it is supposed to be listening all the time) which prevents the camera, Duo, or any other app using the mic to work properly. As soon as I disable this option, everything works fine again.
I'm on a Chinese 64Gb version with a C900B133 rom flashed on it. Did anyone else notice the problem and find a work around?
Have a good one guys!
Just clear the data and it will work fine

SM-J710MN Bluetooth Snafu

I have a 2016 Chevy Trax. No issues whatsoever pairing the Bluetooth with my J7. Listen to music from the phone, take calls, messages get notified through car speaker etc.
Then I noticed about a week ago...the phone connection stopped working. I discovered it was not only my car, but Bluetooth headset too.
I can pair my phone. Music will play. If I get a message I can hear it. If I have Google Maps on I can hear the voice.
However, if the phone rings, I can not hear it. If someone is on the other end. They say they can hear me. I hear nothing.
If I press "Speaker" on my phone, I can hear the person through the phone and they can hear me. However as soon as I turn the Bluetooth back on...I lose them. In my car it says going to Private Mode....and I can hear through the phone. But as soon as I reconnect to the Bluetooth....I hear nothing.
I have tried everything...to no avail. Took out the battery for soft reset. Found all the Bluetooth apps in the "system apps" setting. Deleted all the caches. Disabled "Ok Google". Only thing I have not done is a factory reset. Last resort.
My wife has the exact same phone. Hers acts the same. Leads me to believe it is from the last update which happened a week or so ago.
I hope this makes sense and I hope someone can help!
Mike
I am having the exact same issue. Appears the call sound and mic aren't working. This update was to Samsung Experience 9.5
Same here. Bluetooth calls in my car stop working after last android update. No sound on call from both sides.
I'd tryed some suggestions from post on the web but nothing seems to work.
Waiting for a solutions from Google or Samsung.

Ok Google Not Working After v11.19.17.21 ?

I noticed recently that "Ok Google" voice activation of the Assistant was no longer working. It took me a long time to notice because I only use this feature when driving longer distances, something I haven't been doing much during the pandemic.
With the newer versions if I say "Ok Google" or "Hey Google" there is no response. If I manually launch the Assistant ie long press on Home button it comes up and I can press the microphone and it works. If I try to retrain the voice model it tells me it's having issues connecting, and I cannot get past this message. It's clearly not a connectivity issue because I can use other Google apps and surf the web just fine.
I was curious when this had stopped working so I did some testing:
10.97.8.21 original version that came with the OS update, working
11.19.12.21 working
11.19.17.21 working
11.21.9.21 not working
11.27.6.21 not working
11.30.12.21 not working
11.39.7.23 not working
11.43.8.23 not working
12.2.11.23 not working
12.6.8.23 not working
12.10.7.23 not working
Obviously I didn't test every single version available but it seems that it broke between 11.19.x.x and 11.21.x.x. I was not able to find a good 11.20.x.x to download and test, so I can't rule that version out.
For now I've reverted to 11.19.17.21 but I'm concerned about security running that old of a version.
Any idea what might have changed in between those two versions to make this stop working?
Anyone else have similar experiences?
