Not sure if anyone else had been experiencing this lately due to Google changes in the Google app, but now when you click your Bluetooth button, if "Google" isn't set as your "Default Assist App" in the Android settings, the Google Voice Search does not launch and instead you get a popup telling you that "Google is not set as your default Assist App" - very annoying!
The problem is, when you set Google as the default Assist App via "Settings -> Apps -> Default App Settings -> Assistance & Voice Input -> Assist App", it doesn't stick and reverts back to "None" when the Google app is closed either by Task Manager or by the OS.
Does anyone know how to stop this from happening so when I set my default Assist app it actually stays instead of going back to "None" of a few minutes later?

Hi!
I have the same problem, did you find a solution? I turned off battery optimization for assistant and lock it for the task manager.
I know that almost 2 years have passed, but hope never die

I just accidentally enabled explore by touch as I enabled talk back. According to Google support pages there's no way to turn it off independently of talkback without a factory reset. I figured somebody here could probably come up with a more reasonable solution.
Thanks in advance

So Explore by Touch is enabled (sort of) as long as ANY program is listed under Accessibility > Services set to ON
So either Talkback, or any app.
In my case I get accouncements of "The Folder is Open" even with everything off and Talkback uninstalled.
Doesn't look like anyone will help.

I see the same thing on my Note II. For me it was using the Light Flow App... It turns on a service in accessibility. turning that off gets rid of the talkback announcements. So it seems that the bottom line is: stop using whatever installed/enabled the service, or live with the announcements
I have a rooted AT&T S6 and was using Tasker normally, but I decided to clean up/freeze some more system apps, and then I ran into a problem. For some reason, accessibility settings for Tasker become disabled and when I tried to re-enable them, I was prompted with this error message: "Error: "Turn on universal switch. Universal switch does not support the current system language. The text-to-speech language will be set to null, but this might cause unexpected behavior". After hitting "Ok", it would say settings has crashed.
I fixed this by unfreezing Samsung text-to-speech engine. Afterwards, the message about Universal Switch never came up again. This is just an FYI if anyone suddenly runs into problems and cannot enable any accessibility settings due to settings has crashed.
Pics below.
thanks bro you were life saver, in my case i had to turn on (enable) google text to speech i was getting this error while turning on greenify from accessibility
Sorry for this stupid question but how did you do this? I am facing the same problem but I can't figure out how to disable, freeze, whatever text to speech!
Great post. Very very helpfull. I'm very grateful for it!
Thanks for this bro, its really help me
Thank You!!
I used EZ Disabler to disable text-to-speech. Re-enabling this solved this problem. Thanks again.

For some reason i cannot find Samsung text-to-speech engine and i have enabled show system apps. I have this problem and i cannot use LastPass because of it (and i bought it to be used in my phone). Anyone has any other ideas?

To get rid of the Universal Switch Prompt:
1. Go to Settings > Language and input > Text-to-speech options
2. Enable "Google Text-to-speech Engine"
it should work from there :good:
Install google text to speech from play store
Enable google tts in accessibility option in vision text to speech and your problem will be solved

I tried that but it takes forever to load so I can never click the Google TTS or Samsung TTS.

Edit: I installed an aroma package in xtresolite and the accessibility functions option and it fixed it. Nice.

New tip
I had the same problem, but i was perplexed on how to turn off/on the Text-to-speech engine...after searching for long, i found out that Google TTS wasn't even on my phone...i downloaded it and turned it on from my settings(mine was in accessibility settings) and everything started working again
I had same problem with S8 today with same problem. I can't believe this fixed that. Stupid samsung. Thanks a lot
The title says it all. It is grayed out whether custom choice wake up is selected or not.
Go to the Google menu km the Settings, from there "search and now" and enable what you need.
Thanks for the advice but that option is grayed out. ""Ok Google" detction" Under "Search & Now". I will post a screenshot later on.
Try cleaning the data of the google app, then uninstall and reinstall.
As far as I know, OK Google works from the app or google launcher home screen
This is what it looks like. I tried clearing cache and data. I will now try uninstalling the updates.
Edit: I cannot uninstall or disable the Google app. What gives? I want to avoid factory reset if possible.
Look for permissions given to the google app, enable mic if disabled and try google now launcher
Thank you for the advice. I was able to get the "OK Google" command to work. The option is still grayed out in the setting, but I did it via Google Play app. It is an odd bug (if it is). Maybe it has to do with Huawei's voice command option (that wakes up the phone)?
It can, since EMUI is kinda aggressive with apps

With Google Now there was an option to turn it off. I haven't been able to find that option for Google Assistant.
Edit: To be clear, I selected "No Thanks" in the Assistant settings screen. However, if I say "OK, Google" it still takes me to the settings screen, indicating it's still listening.

Check out these screenshots. Hopefully this helps you. One turns off the okay Google thing and one turns off the whole Google assistant.

No. The closest I can get to is a screen saying "Meet your personal Google Assistant" with a "Continue" button. If I tap continue, I get a list of permissions and the options "Yes I'm In" or "No Thanks"

Ooooh. You never turned it on in the first place. You are still on the setup. I set mine up. From there you can turn it off.

Don't feel bad VM--I'm in the same boat with you. I have zero interest in/desire for Google Assistant. This may sound weird, hut speaking interrupts my thought process. When I type, I can continue to think. So, more. often than not, I'd much rather type than speak.
So, when I finally got around to the installing it for the second time, (The first time was a big fail because I wanted NO part of it.) I got yo a point where it wanted to link to my other devices. (I think. It's been a while, but I think that's what it wanted to do. For some reason, I keep thinking that it wanted to turn on Google Assistant on all of my devices. ) That got a big fat "No thanks". (I knew I should have registered that device with a new account!) "No thanks" was a legitimate option, at that point. I thought the installation would proceed on that device--the one where it was being installed. Instead, the installation process terminated.
Apparently, my installation isn't completed either, so I cannot turn it off. To make matters worse, it's occupying a ton of space on a device that has little to spare.
There are at least a couple ways to get to the Google settings, and the following is one way.
Settings > Google > Search
My notes suggest Settings in that area previously went to the first screen posted, without first setting up Assistant, but the v8.0 version from November 2017 kept going to Assistant setup on my phone. After installing the v8.1 update from December 2017, it's again possible to turn off Assistant, without first setting it up.
Settings > Google > Search > Settings (only first time went to Assistant setup) > Pixel > Google Assistant - Off
The second screen posted is located here.
Settings > Google > Search > Voice > "OK Google" detection
Assistant needs a bunch of settings to run, so if the items in the following are turned off or paused Assistant can't be used. My phone seemed to use a bit less battery in standby with Assistant turned off and these items disabled, but it's rather minimal, maybe around 3% less battery per day on Android v7.
Settings > Google > Search > Accounts & privacy > Google activity controls
Changing the following will alter what happens when holding the home button. I have mine set to call android.intent.action.VOICE_ASSIST using Tasker.
Settings > Apps & notifications > Default apps > Assist & voice input > Assist app

Just in case you don't know, when you invoke Google Assistant you can hit the little keyboard icon (rectangle with six dots) on the left and then type into it instead of speaking. Just FYI in case the speaking thing is the only reason you don't want to use it.
I can successfully run widgetupdatet and musicproxy on my uis7862 unit.
But I think i need to make it start at boot/wakeup and also make it not battery optimized
So for start at boot/wake up, i turn it on with User - application. But this make widgetupdater app show up everytime when unit boot up, which i prefer it to hidden
For battery optimized setting, I don't have battery option from my setting menu.
May I have your advice on this?
@KёniG
Thanks
Hello.
The newest firmware doesn't have battery settings. Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut and find "Settings suggestions". Launch it and type in the search field "Battery".

cool, thanks. Let me try this app on my unit for battery setup part
May I know how about the startup part, anyway I can make the app screen do not popup and make a more silent startup?
(for my firmware, I can make app startup automatically in settings -> user -> application settings
Thanks again
@KёniG
I've switched to paid version and turn on "silent start" seems it will just flash then go away which is good now.
However I don't find the way to open the app to change settings anymore (don't see the icon at notification menu) . need to wipe out the app data to get back to setting screen

My answer above is about silent start up.
If you have the restricted notification bar it is required to reinstall the app to enter settings. Silent mode is not appropriate way for you.

Thanks, so either I can still choose silent startup but need to reinstall app if i need to change settings
Or
I dont make it silent startup but i will see the setting screen everytime the unit starts?
and one last thing
After I use musicproxy+widgetupdater. When I use my wheel button - "mode" to change the source, it will go through radio, Phone, Bluetooth music, then my specified music player, then stopped if i press "mode" again. Originally, the next app is the map and then loop back to radio. Is it normal behaviour?
Thank you so much
Played a bit more, seems AIMP is working fine to loop the button cycle.
Your problem got solved?

silent startup still make the app no longer configurable but is ok as I don't think need to always configure that often.
For wheel button issue, I find out is my specific app (KKBox) issue. If I change to AIMP or another music app then is working fine to cycle the sources.
And i think a setting which is quite useful for me is "Multiple music app" which will show current playing app info in that widget area
