New Google assistant - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

Hi, I've noticed that the Google pixel 4 have a new Google assistant look and I wondered why my pixel 3 doesn't have it. I saw someone on other site that said he has it for a few days (on pixel 3) and then it changed back to the old one.
Is the Google pixel 3 supposed to have it to? I don't see a reason why not.

[Q] Google Now problems

So basically I got my Nexus 5 a month ago and from day 1 I could not access Google Now by swiping right on the homescreen. However, "Okay Google" does work.
I have checked my Location Settings and it says that Google Location Reporting is not available in Malta. I do not assume this is the problem since my Maltese friends have Google Now and it work perfectly (not the ones with Nexus 5).
I am running 4.4.2. and I just got the Google + and Google Search updates last night which I installed. Still no Google Now. I cannot even access the settings for Google Now.
I have searched for possible solutions on the internet and there was one post on Google Forums with a bunch of people complaining about this problem but I decided to post on here becase
Maybe we could come up with a possible solution (hopefully one that does not inculde downgrading Google Search)
and secondly to pass on this message. It seems like XDA is a good framework to have complaints go across seeing as Google and LG decided to act on their faulty devices thanks to an XDA thread. (correct me if I'm wrong?)

How to get Google Phone back on One UI?

Hey everyone,
I foolishly deleted Google Phone from my phone on One UI and now, when I check the Play Store, it is not even listed. I also have Light Flow installed and had to revert to the legacy app for a phone on Android 6.0 or older. I believe although this is Android 9.0, it's somehow registering as something considerably older.
Any ideas on a phone APK that will install? I tried a few from APK Mirror but none of them would install. I also tried the new Pixel dialer and the same results.
In the worst case, I'll just continue to use the Samsung stock dialer, but would really prefer the Google on, especially since the icons look better using the new Pixel Launcher.
Thanks!
**Edit** I don't know how to delete this thread so instead, I'll link to the new pixel dialer that worked for me on Android Pie Beta after I deleted Google Phone and it was found to be incompatible on media fire searching for Google_Phone_8.0.148481159__Patched__%281%29.apk
I'm on ZRJ9 Pie Beta and the newest v26 from this thread is working for me just fine

Google mixed Devices after Migration

Hello!
I think my problem is not phone related, so this might me the best place, I hope.
I'm happy to own a new Poco F1 and instantly flashed a custom rom (CAF). Then I migrated some app-data from my old Nexus 5 with Titanium Backup. The Nexus was completely wiped and now is on LOS.
I logged into my Google Account with both devices.
Now I'm facing the following issue: In my Google account under "Security - My Devices" the two devices are mixed up. With the name "Poco F1" I see a model "LG Nexus 5" (screenshot 1). If I remove it, both phones are disconnected from my Google account. If I login with the Poco F1 again, all seems OK, as long as I also log in with the Nexus. Then everything is messed up again. I never see two individual devices.
In Google Play Store the two devices show up correct (screenshot 2).
Any Idea, what might have caused Google to be not able to tell apart the two devices and how to fix it?
I'm looking forward to your replies.
Not a single clue?

On-device voice transcribe for other Android phones!

Hi,
I'm very annoyed that Google keeps some nice and useful features for their Pixel phones only. For example they announced back in March 2019 something called on-device voice transcription which is available for Gboard installed on Pixel phones only, by enabling that option called "Faster Voice Typing" in Gboard's settings, while Gboard installed on other phones don't have that setting!
I wish I can get a Pixel phone but they are not officially sold in my country and when I was lucky enough that one my US friends is coming to my country, I read about that screen gap issue which scared me and made me decide not to buy and import the phone for the time being, so I lost my chance of having it nowadays! and now I'm not sure if I'll ever have the chance again as traveling is not easy nowadays!
What are my options to have this feature on my device? Is there another keyboard or an app that can provide such accurate and fast voice transcribe? Does the clean android experience on Nokia phones have the same features as the Pixel?
I'm with you. I decided not to get the new Pixel and to get a OnePlus instead. That is the only feature that I am missing from my Pixel 4XL. Someone has to have figured this out. I'm wondering if you change your build.prop to a Pixel 4 or 5 and then clear storage on assistant it might trigger it.

Question ARCore on Pixel 7 Pro?

I'm researching my next phone purchase, and the Pixel 7 Pro is on my "top 3" list (along with the S22 Ultra and Z Fold 4).
I was shocked to discover that the Pixel 7 Pro, Google's flagship (and Premiere Developer Alpha-Phone) apparently doesn't support ARCore. WTF?!?
Did Google pull a "Google" and decide to just unceremoniously walk away from it?
Did they just give it a new name?
Is it officially "coming soon", but for whatever reason didn't make it in time for Launch Day itself?
Weirdly, searching Google for "ARcore" AND "Pixel 7" site:google.com turns up a bunch of results whose summaries on the result page seemingly mention ARCore... but the actual pages don't have anything that a brute-force browser string-search for "ARCore" on the page can find, and for whatever reason, those particular pages don't allow viewing the cached copy of the originally-indexed page, so it looks like Google went back and scrubbed the pages after they were indexed (which is itself kind of weird, because you'd assume that Google's OWN pages would literally be indexed up to the minute at all times).
Seems they don't call this ARCore anymore. My Pixel 7 Pro has an app installed called "Google Play Services for AR" which in the description states: "This service was previously known as ARCore." I tested it by installing a sample ARCore measuring app from Google Play and it worked as expected.
ARCore works perfectly. Google Maps has working AR-Features like Live view and apps like ARCore Depth Lab work.
( This is the play store link to AR: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.ar.core which is also installed on my Pixel 7 )
