Google Assistant not working when device is locked or unlocked - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

When I use "Hey Google" and speak a command the assistant says it needs a little more information before it can help, then navigates me to a screen to enable permissions. I already agreed to those permissions when I set it up and no matter how many times I agree and complete the Assistant setup it still persists.
The weird part is that if I unlock the phone and use the voice prompt the same thing happens BUT if I use the Google task bar on my home screen the commands all worked!
It's very frustrating when I'm driving and trying to use it to make a call because I keep ending up having to unlock it and perform it manually.

the only way around it is connect a bluetooth then add that bluetooth to trusted device bra

Google Now Help

Hey everyone!
I have android 4.4 (cm11) on my LG Optimus L5
The thing is, I say "OK Google" it recognizes it, I can talk it will recognize what I say but it takes me to Web Search, it won't speak back at me, it doesn't even have the information about what I asked, just the web search.
I wanna say like "What is 30 divided by 2" and it says 15.
Anyone help?

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".

Google Assistant deleting home address

I'm at a loss here. I have asked Google for their help and they were useless. I have been using a Samsung Galaxy S8+ (AT&T). It has a feature called SMART LOCK that uses a Trusted Place, which has worked in the past without any issues. For those that don't know or use it, it allows you to keep your device unlocked while your at a trusted place. With that being said, My home address keeps deleting from Google Assistant > Settings> Personal Info> Home & Work Locations. My work location stays here, but my Home Location keeps getting deleted for some reason. I can't figure out what is causing it.
I've deleted it and edited it many times and yet it still happens.I thought it was an app or allowed program, but I went through them and didn't see anything that shouldn't be allowed in my Google account. I have deleted my cache, data and uninstalled updates on all, Google Play Store, Google Assistant as well as a few others. Yet my Home Location keeps on disappearing for no apparent reason. I wouldn't care so much, but I use the Smart Lock feature while home.
I have used Tasker from the play store and set up commands and this didn't even work to unlock phone while at home.
I have wiped my phone many times and it still happens. Does anyone else have this issue or at least know a fix or is this a bug?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Sounds very frustrating. I have not heard of the issue before.
I'm wondering if you have also cleared out your Gmail address/contact info and Google calendar profile, as well?
What happens when/if you create a new alias profile? Will the alias address remain?
I would have to get back to you on that. I haven't tried creating another profile (alias). I can create another Google account and see what happens. I was also wondering if it was a fb so that could be doing it, but I have the same apps on my tablet (running marshmallow) and it doesn't get deleted from there.
Is doing it on my phone and my wife's.

Possible to get "OK Google" working properly?

I've got my phone working properly with GMS and have the assistant installed even but I cannot get it to respond to voice commands. OK google/Hey Google don't work but if I manuly press the assistant app it brings everything up?
I've been in the assistant settings but somehow Voicematch is turned off and greyed out.
Every other Google service is working perfectly though aside from Google Pay obv
Any thoughs?
This wont ever work. Its a service thats deeper in the system just like google pay. Installing google without root access will not install this background service.

"Ok Google" not working "This feature is currently unavailable for this language"

"Ok Google" not working "This feature is currently unavailable for this language"
Hi everyone.
I've got a K30 Pro Zoom couple of days ago and since then I'm trying to make "Ok google" work but I always get the same grey button with the script "This feature is currently unavailable for this language"
I'm in a chinese ROM, MIUI 12.0.9, but it happened to me also in Miui 11.
I've tried to change the language to every other available, same thing with region, I've unistalled and reinstalled google app and assitant several times...but no fix.
Any help?
Thank you.

I had the same question before and have tried multiple actions, including adding the adb log to check.
This is not related with language.
I never made Chinese ROM works for that. Someone told me OK google detection needs to make the Google app as system app, so the Hotword permission can be granted, but I never made it work
Global ROM works.

Thank you for the info.
I've just asked to open the bootloader to move to another ROM.

Hello linuxwalkers
Thank you for the previous answer, I finally got "Ok Google" working 90% with xiaomi.eu ROM.
The issue I'm facing now is that it only works when the phone is unlocked.
When is locked, or screen off, it triggers "you nned to unlock your device" every time I say a command.
I went through every configuration as "Display personal results in lcoscreen", "Allow assitant to work on lockscreen"...
Did you manage to make it work when the phone is locked?
Thank you

Google password manager asks if it should save PWs although it SHOULD be deactivated?

Hey folks,
so although I deactivated the f***** password manager, it still keeps asking me for EVERY password in EVERY app if I wanted to save it. I can't seem to get rid of this behaviour.
What I tried up to now:
deactivated the PWM via my google account settings on my phone
reactivated and deactivated it again to see if it was just some setting that had gotten stuck
turned the phone off and on again
started chrome -> settings -> password, although I assume this is an app-internal value
opened my phone's account on my pc, altered the value here (I could see both on the PC when I turned the PWM on/off on the phone and vice versa, so the value change works, but google chooses to ignore it)
Is there anything I have overlooked? Is there any additional value that needs changing? Other google services, for example syncing my contacts (at least those that my old phone didn't eff up) worked without any problems.
As another approach to get rid of this sh***y behaviour: is google's password manager a standalone app, can I just uninstall it via ADB?
Dunno if anything of this is important: Phone is a Sony Xperia 10 II, unrooted, three days old.
In case I forgot any useful information, please ask.
Welcome to XDA! Seems like you did everything to turn off the Google account PWM option. It's not a separate Play Store app.
Only thing I can think of is there's a another Play store 3rd party PWM app installed like LastPass or Sony bloatware app, etc...
Thanks mate!
Nope, there is no other password manager installed and I tried my very best to get rid of all the bloatware I could find and thought to be safe to uninstall. Also, the password saving question bears the Google-"G", so it shouldn't be any 3rd party program.
Is there anything else I can do except being frustrated and annoyed? =/
