Hi all,
This is my first Thread but I am long time follower of the forum, thanks for all the amazing work and support!
I am trying to set up the Google Assistant voice recognition on my wife's new Huawei P20 without success.
The first thing that is weird is that on my OnePlus 3 the Assistant asks me to say twice "Ok Google" and twice "Hey Google", whereas on the P20 I am asked to say thrice "Ok Google", like on the older version of the OP3 Assistant.
Is this normal for Huawei? Is Google behind with the integration of the Assistant on the EMUI?
The second (and main!) problem is that after saying 3 times "Ok Google" nothing happens. Every time I say it a check appears so the Assistant can actually hear what I am saying, but after the third time nothing happens and only the "Cancel" button is active.
Is anyone encountering my same issue?
Does anyone have a solution or a workaround? :fingers-crossed:
Many thanks for your time
Hmm I think the hey google is just an app flag.
You could try to clear the data on the Google App. That worked for my P10 when it failed in a similar manner.
Hope it helps

Hi Paul, thanks for your suggestion.
I have tried to clear the data on the Google App and also in the Google Play Services but it didn't work.
I rebooted in recovery and wiped the cache and it didn't work.
The only time it worked for a little while was by setting the language to English (US), clearing all the data and rebooting the system.
At start up it asked me to configure the assistant from scratch and the voice control worked.
Then I had the brilliant idea to switch the language to English (UK) and the Voice control toggle went back to off and there was no way to activate it again.
However it's worth noting that on my OP3 the language is English (UK) and it works perfectly, so the only thing I can think of is a problem in the implementation in the EMUI.
I am curious to understand if it works fine on the P10 series.
This is where the process gets stuck

Hmm this is very strange. It worked fine on my P10 after clearing app data and on my P20 it worked from the first try :-? I have it in English US though and I didn't try other languages.
Voice recognition
Hi.
After the third time you say Hi Google and the device starts to listen, you have to say something different and the app will search the result. That's what I did and it worked.
Cheers :good:
Had a similar problem, only i couldnt even start the setup, it always said "could not connect".
What i did to solve my problem, i deactivated the google app in the setting, downloaded and installed the most recent version from apkmirror:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...le-app-7-26-14-21-arm64-android-apk-download/
then i was able to finish the setup succesfully and it is working for me now.

try with setting English (Generic) as your main language (long press on this) and Italian(?) as a second.

Awesome, thanks! Yeah we caught a bug pretty early on that wasn't intercepting the calls correctly. But that has been fixed and it seems to be working for everyone now
just downloaded and tried this. works like a charm!
Great to hear, thanks!
That's a great idea, I'll buy you a beer if you can add Australian support
I'm sure many others would too.
The server tried redirecting to a invalid address. please report this to the webmaster of the site.
i scanned it on my windows mobile phone doesn't seem to work.
It's only for US?
i see in the website " country 1 " so if is not only for us, where can i choose other countries ? lol
works great! thanks!
Currently the site is only for the US, sorry. I'm actively trying to figure out how to do it for other countries as well.

Could you provide more information on this? What did you do exactly to get this error?
I just tried this app and website just to test it. I put my phone on Silent after installing the app and then tried the website with my Google Voice number (I had my 3G on). I saw it on the screen, and I saw it raise the volume, but even though it had turned the volume up, it never rang.
Might have been quirk.
Just now (10 minutes later) I tried it again after putting it back on silent, this time with my real cell number and it worked, although for a moment it appeared that it might do the same thing.
Regardless, all one would have to do is try it a second time if they didn't find it the first time. Thanks for this!
Works in Canada too!
Dude, where's my phone?

Hmm, strange. Thanks for the trip report! How long did it ring? Did you have good signal at the time? Also would you mind trying it again to your Google voice number?
Didn't work for me using my Google Voice number. Tried it 3 times and the ringer stayed on vibrate. Guess it has to use the actual number to your phone to work.

Hi, guys.
I'm using stock T-mobile 4.1.1 nexus s and I switched every setting of language to US english.
However, when I go to the google search setting, I do not see my Google Now Setting!!! I cannot find Google Now Setting anywhere!!
I disabled it awhile ago but I want to enable it back but it's gone...
under the google search settings, i can only see Voice, Phone Search and Privacy settings... T_T
can anyone help me out here?
go to setting then apps, then clear google search's data and cache. you should have the prompt again.
Let me guess. You've got google apps.
It took me 3 hours to figure this out.
Go into your google aps control panel, and then Services, Mobile, and at the very bottom check the checkbox "enable google now".
A few minutes later your users will be able to use it.
Yes, it's still restricted by default for paying users, probably because companies don't like it too much.
cleared cached and data... where to set locale from?
i do have google apps but i also have my personal account which is the primary account in all the google applications in my phone.
I was even using Google Now only a few minutes ago.... i just disabled it from search settings and i don't see that switch anymore... it just disappeared.

thanks so much... Trick is, uninstall Google Search app [it will revert to the factory default Google Search app that came with the phone]... and then DO NOT download the latest Google Search update.... instead, go to the factory default Google Search app > menu > settings > activate google now... ONCE you have activated Google Now, only then update to the latest Google Search update from the Play Store. It solved my problem.

Does anyone know how to reset google now without doing a factory reset?
I'm trying to change the weather from Fahrenheit to Celsius and all the tutorials out there tell me to go into google search settings and choose Google now from there. But I don't have that option. One possibility is that I didn't hit "Yes, I'm in" after first running google now (but I'm 99% positive I did) and a way to completely reset this would be an option, but I can't find a way to do it. Clearing data, cache, uninstalling updates or even disabling and reenabling google search does nothing.
Any ideas?
No it's in the setting in google now click card 3 dots and search in there.

Where did you get it, did it come with a ROM and which one also is the ROM if thats what your using is it for s3 or s4?
I'm using the stock rom on an S4 phone, with the 4.1.1 update.

It's not in the 3 dots menu, the first option should be Google Now, but it's just not there, as I said before.
Google Search isn't the one that came with the rom, there was a subsequent update through the market.

OK, sorry can't see your screenshots (dropbox is blocked by proxy at work).
Did you tried another google account ? Are you behind a proxy ?
Edit : found this http://blog.ingensys.net/2012/07/no-google-now-settings-on-your-nexus-7.html
Your account is a google apps for businness account ? if yes you need to activate google now in your account if no access to google apps settings ask to the manager if he can allow google now ! I think this is why you don't have the settings
It's a gmail account, but I'll look into that.
I can't find anything along those lines. Is it possible it's off because I have web history disabled in my google account?

Try going into recovery, wiping the cache partition and rebooting.
If that doesn't work, you might consider doing a factory reset.

People have started getting the OTA hours ago. Right around the time the factory images came online...
OTA filename or link pleaaaase!
That way we can see if the crashing problem can be reproduced

I also have a similar problem trying to access language and input. It crashes. Haven't checked data storage setting yet.
Another bug I found, at least for my nexus 7 2013, is for apps that are call-related. Skype, kakaotalk, groove ip, none of them receives voice input from the other side to my device, hence it's muted or screechy.. Skype abruptly ends when attempting video chat, and voice chat doesn't properly start either. Note this is mostly voice apps.
People probably shouldn't conclude it's "pointless" or not without understanding properly what's going on.

Old tread but for those still looking; set language to english us and voila !
Since yesterday I have a seemingly unresolvable issue with the Assistant on my Pixel 3. Running Android 10 and been using swedish as the main language for a while (the issue is the same with english btw).
Stuff like setting timers, alarms, making calls, sending texts and playing music have worked fine for a long time.
Right before things went wrong I got an error message about no Google account being associated to the Assistant. I reverted it to my Google account and figured everything was fine.
Then later the Assistant started failing, and in particular to do these tasks:
- set timers
- set alarms
- make calls
- send texts.
When I try these I'm only met with the three grey pulsating dots, and no audio response or text confirmation.
Stuff that it still does, though, are:
- play music via Spotify, Google Play Music
- tell me the weather
The strange thing though is that if I set Assistant to be used without an account, it works! Also if I create a brand new test Google account, it manages those basic tasks that have stopped working on my regular Google account.
So, on Android 10, security update april 5th.
I've been trying to resolve this for 24hrs now, and frustration is growing. I've:
- tried to clear cache/data for the Google app
- inactivated it, rebooted, activated, updated
- tried the beta Google app
- tried various old versions from apkmirror -- from march, earlier in april (at a time when my Assistant was working)
- rebooted in Safe mode -- here it uses the old Assistant interface! and it actually works, but it's the clunky old one!
- checked permissions for the Google app/Clock/Telephone app/Messages -- everything seems to be enabled?
- gone through my settings for my Google account: web and app activity, location history and so on is Enabled. Personlig ads also on.
Another weird thing is that sometimes it actually seems to set a timer, but no confirmation and no notification visible. Also nothing is shown in the Clock app. But a timer beeps after five minutes -- only sometimes! Weird.
Now when I was experimenting with this I tried to set a timer, then opened the Clock app and of course, no timer was running. I then got one of those blue notification fields at the bottom, saying I can use the Assistant to set timers, alarms etc. I touched it and got an Assistant popup saying "It's not possible to reach Google right now" (translated)... Hmmm!
As you can tell, this is very weird. I would appreciate any pointers and suggestions! Thanks in advance
So this is what a typical response looks like:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/PaMGfYxAUSqAoMpZ6
And in Your Activity, it says I set a timer and got a response, but that is is simply untrue!
https://photos.app.goo.gl/VGmrP1G4KU9HE66C8
(I switched to english temporarily to try to illustrate).
So, for every one of those attempts absolutely no resonse except for the pulsating dots was shown in Assistant! :/
So strange.
I zeroed my phone completely again, and set it up with my regular Google account but WITHOUT copying apps and settings. Assistant STILL WON'T DO BASIC TASKS LIKE TIMERS.
I zeroed it again and instead made a brand new Google account: Assistant immediately performs those basic tasks.
I really need some help here, please.

Sounds to me like there are some settings/options that you need to check by going to your Google account settings by going to the Google website via browser. If changing things locally within your device/Google settings isn't changing functionality in your account activity/usage but a new account is functioning, it has to be some kind of non local Google settings that need to be changed/erased/reset.
Or maybe you are having issues with sync functionality and not your Google related stuff.

Or maybe you are having issues with sync functionality and not your Google related stuff.

Yeah, I would think so too. But I've gone over _everything_ I can find at google.com/account ... turning off and on, rebooting the phone inbetween etc. Revoking rights for apps that might interfere... nothing
What do you mean by "sync functionality" though?
Thanks for the response!
OK, so I went back and disabled all the data & privacy settings in Assistant, and now it can set a timer. But beyond that it's quite useless as it can't get access to make calls or do texts etc. So I gradually enabled setting by setting, and I've concluded that the "Web & App Activity" toggle breaks my Assistant somehow. It doesn't matter if I check or uncheck the "Include Chrome history..." or "Include voice and audio recordings" boxes, if the main toggle is on my Assistant hits some kind of wall with timers, texts and calls. Beyond this I can't understand what I can do to influence this?!
I'm having that hang issue when setting an alarm with Google Assistant on my account.
Using a different account works though. I'm not sure what setting in my account is causing this error.
Using Voice Search to set alarms is fine.
