Question about Google Assistant - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have a question that I haven't been able to figure out myself yet. When I use Google Assistant to call a contact in my phone and it doesn't like the abnormal spelling of the name, it says the contact cannot be found. Now, when I say abnormal spelling, I mean spelled different by a single letter.
For example, when I say "Okay Google, call Marc," it will choose the spelling as "Mark" and not recognize the spelling from my contact list as "Marc" which then returns as contact not found. The same exact thing is happening with "Nic" being spelled without a K and "Bryan" being spelled without an I.
Is there a way this can be fixed?
Thanks!

I ran into the a problem after the Google update 2 days ago where I asked Assistant to call, it responded that "the feature is not available on this device"

Purchased Vlingo, doesn't get name right.

Trying to text my friend "Luis", and it keeps saying "No match for 'lewis'". Funny thing is, when you go to the how-to on this app, the example listed says, "Text Luis".
Any way I can have this thing auto-correct? Or at least check my contacts for something similiar to what I'm speaking??
It's included for me with Samsung Apps, so I had the fortune of being able to test it, and at least for me, and the way I talk, it's utter garbage. I think I tried for 15 minutes to make it do a single hit, but all it did was try to call something wildly different

[Q] I received a text message from a single digit number "1"... What the heck?

[Q] I received a text message from a single digit number "1"... What the heck?
The message is still in my Samsung Galaxy S2 inbox and contains this:
message size:32kb
expires: 9:04PM, Oct 25
Download
where "Download" is a clickable button and when I click it it changes to "Downloading", then after a few moments it changes back to "Download".
Any idea what it might be?
So you downloaded unknown software from a suspicious number onto your phone because it told you to?
Ummm... Quickly You need to pm me your bank account details and any applicable passwords plus personal identification information. If someone is going to scam you and get all your stuff it should be me, at least im honest about it, plus you have to now cause I asked you to.
Yeah, but nothing happened after, android didn't prompt me to install anything. Is it possible that it installed by itself? And how can such a message arrive to me anyway? Do you think its from an installed app??
My phone is 100% stock and not rooted. What in the heck is this? If its THAT easy to get a security hole, then that makes the market a scary place!

Whats the file name? go to where your phone stores downloads and find out. if nothing is there check running applications. Is anything running that shouldn't have been. can you provide a screenshot of the text message?
I'm shocked that you presses download, not knowing where the message came from. Were you THAT curious?
I hope nothing is going to happen to your device, but in the future, you might want to ask first before pressing anything.
Sorry I couldn't really contribute anything helpful to this thread, but I couldn't resist.

I just received a txt from the number '1' also.
Subject: its time
Message size: 12Kb
I use handcent and it is set to auto retrieve mms. It said downloading for quite some time then I deleted it and blocked the number.

You're Fine
I think you're fine. I just recieved a similar message from 1. I think it was someone 'replying all' to a mass text because a second later that message from 1 disappeared and was replaced by an actual text. PS, I'm not an expert.

You might be right. Turns out my girlfriend sent a mass text and I was on the list. I ended up getting several more that day. None of which would auto download.

highly avoid
I would highly advise to stay away from and advise you to not download any type of text message that comes to you from an unknown phisher or source.
same issue sorta
see i have been getting texts like this myself it started just yesterday when a friend said he would send me a video of something (mms video) and so i never got it but instead a number listed as 1 had sent a message with no subject it was a download. i asked my friend to send again and it went through to his number instead just fine (hes using an iphone) so i just deleted the conversation with the number 1 and moved on but then my girlfriend sent a video to me and the same thing happened. im curious if its an error having to do wth the sending of video or if its something more concerning. (my girlfriend is on android) the whole thing here is taht they where sending me a video and that i got a message that i could download supposedly a video using the number 1 instead of from the person who said they where sending something(its concerning
Well that was rude. Way to be a ****
I've gotten that text message twice on two different phones and my phone auto magically started downloading? My phone is fine after every time but it's just so weird to me my recent message sent to me and then dissapeared

[Q] "Did you mean" after successful voice search

Hey guys I just got my Atrix2 and I was wondering if anyone was running into this same deal with their phones and possibly knew how to by-pass it.
Basically after I perform a voice search command, usually "Navigate to ________ ) it will find the location no problem and I'm good to go. However when I close the navigator the voice search is there to greet me with a "Did you mean... Navigate to ______ " I clearly found my location and did my duties, its a minor annoyance being greeted with that afterwards. Is there a way to stop this feature? I tried talking with the most enunciated voice to see if maybe it didn't recognize my voice, and it did the same thing. Thanks for any input!
Regards~!

Did you go to the app's settings and configure its voice settings? Try closing the app, re-opening it, adjusting the settings as necessary, and then trying to use the voice commands. Note that Google Now has different versions, can't do everything you want, and it is limited to how it's programmed to respond to voice commands, but a math question should work. Change settings, try rebooting, etc.
Step 1: Go into Settings and confirm that "Speech Output" (2nd item in my Settings menu) is switched "ON".
