Does anyone else have a quick settings tile for Alexa hands free mode?
Yesterday I had it and was trying to get it set up, it had an option for listening when the phone was locked for example. But today i don't have the option anymore. I feel like I'm going a bit crazy. I'm certain it was there but I don't understand how it could just disappear.
Thanks.

My last 4 phones were samsung phones and I used the Blocking mode all the time at night when I am on call. Now that I have the OPO i was wondering if you all know of another good program that works like Blocking mode. I always let it allow calls as I had to take call. Just trying to find something that is like it.
While I am at it, i got used to the samsung s planner widget. Now I also need to find another good calender widget. If you know of one please let me know.
Thanks in Advance.

This would belong to q&a,
What do you mean by blocking?
Quiet hours?
If you mean them, they are available under "sound"
If you mean blacklist, this is under privacy!
I use business calendar pro, really nice

Blocking mode, is that like silent hour? Samsung got inspired by that mode a few years ago, so it's here.
Oh nice. Thanks for the info. That was what I was looking for. I will have to check out business calendar pro.
Thanks
Yeah you are looking for quiet mode. It's one of those features you expect every modern phone or ROM to have.

Well im back to see if anyone may know of an app that works better on then the build in version. On the samsung phones I could make it a quick short cut on the menu screen to turn off and on blocking mode. On the OPO right now I have to go into settings. Plus if I turn off sounds it still turns my alarm off. Samsung did that right i must say. Hoping to see if any others have any other suggestions. I really hope they can work on this mode.
well I now have it in my pull down menu so that is a start. right now only pay for me to make sure its off so i can get my alarm is if i have the mode turn off 5mins till my alarm. That will work for now but its a bit more complicated then it was on the samsung phones.

It does not turn off my alarm... Any screenshots?
I like it at the pulldown menu... The quiet hours are turned on automatically from 0-6 o'clock...

Anyone know where to disable these notifications?
I would still like to see the cards in Google now.. But I don't want these notifications.. Never had them appear before...
Thanks guys!

I would also like to know this. I've had the card notifications disabled for months and just this past week they've been showing up. The option for notifications is still disabled in settings.
I don't want to have to block notifications from the whole app because that would block reminders too right?
This must have to do with an update from Google.
I'm experiencing this as well - seems like it just started a week ago when there was an update. It's extremely frustrating not to be able to disable the notifications of spam (stories, articles, recipes, totally random stuff) and leave things like reminders and whatnot. **sigh** Google why did you do this to me? I really do not need a notification that there is a Chipotle three miles away from me.

Really? Chipotle is the best!
But seriously....These notifications are annoying .. can't find where to disable...

I'm also getting annoyed by these notifications. I guess we don't have a way to shut them off yet?
Go to...Google now> settings> now cards> show notifications! Turn it off, still will get cards in Google now.

Me too -- the first thing I did was check the notification settings for Google Now via Google Settings. I've even tried turning notifications on and then turning them back off. But they keep showing up. Maybe it's a bug and not an intentional feature.
Maybe it's buggy Google since they seemed to have messed up ok Google. I don't get any notifications with that setting off, tried on two phones.

Me three. Ugh!
Don't you hate when the functionality of something changes and they don't default it to the setup that you had before the change?
Surely, when this was released they should give you the option of enabling or staying with what you had?
Of course, that would be the professional way of doing things, sad that it doesn't exist at Google.
First let me say, I have an Amazon Dot, and I love it. From playlists to appointments, trivia questions and timers, its great.
But on the phone it is driving me nuts.
For the Dot to work, I quite clearly have to say 'Alexa.' Then it works perfect;y. The phone on the other hand responds to, well I don't know what? If the TV is on and someone says, 'exactly'it opens. But 99% of the time I have no idea what it responded to. It comes on about 15 times a day to no really recognisable 'Alexa' command.
Anyone else?
works great on my smart lights

Yes I have seen that too , it isn't as helpful as assistant by Google
I have had Alexa pop up for no apparent reason too. (And on a few occassions, NOT pop up to "Alexa")
Seems strange that there's no Voice Training for it (unless I'm missing it?)
Anyway, the funniest one happened today: I sneezed - and boom - Alexa
Yep turned her off on the U11. Never worked correctly compared to the dot.
The only thing I don't like is everytime the Alexa commercial comes on the TV those 2 idiots keep making it pop up and I'm 25 feet away in my living room lol.

Hi guys,
I have Alexa switched off but on occasion Google Assistant switches on when nothing has been said, maybe that is the same issue as OP but it's not 15 times a day. It's more like why did my screen come on situation...
Hey XDA,
I just got a new Mate 9 after I send my Nexus 6P to RMA. So far a great phone, although I've been annoying myself to some notification and Bluetooth related issues so far. I hope someone may be able to help me out here. Would be really appreciated.
- Notifications seem to ignore there given importance by the app and are not ordered to it. All notifications are simple visible in the status bar with it's icon, even if the priority is low, when on the Nexus 6P it would be hidden from the notification area and on the bottom of the notification drawer. This is really annoying for constantly running apps/processes like AccuBattery, Tasker, PocketBell and WhatsApp's web notification. Is there any way to honor this importance/priority without setting this for the whole app and order these notifications?
- Notifications seem not to honor there persistency. For example, when listening to Spotify, I'm able to swipe away this notification, which shouldn't be possible. Is there any way to make these really persistent?
- Notifications are not visible on the lock screen. I'm only able to select this on an per-app basis, but is there any way to configure this the other way around? Show all apps on lock, instead of the apps I don't want?
- Bluetooth Audio volume is not controllable through the phone. The sound volumes are separate, one on my headset and the phone. Any way to link these back together, like the feature added in Android 6, if I'm correct? Although, I'm able to see the charge of my headset. That's new, so I wonder why the volume isn't linked.
I've been used to Android Oreo/Nougat on the Nexus 6P and find these issues above really counterproductive and I'll lose the overview fast this way. Is this just me, or is this really different then the AOSP?
And if so, any idea how I can fix this? Is there something baked into EMUI that would fix this, or will a APP/ROM be the only solution? (although, I don't hope so) I have searched the web, but I wasn't able to find relation questions.
Oh, I'm having the MHA-L09 (with MHA-L09C432B126).
Thanks in advance!

If I disable Voice Match, Google Now disables everywhere unless I re-enable the Voice Match. Then saying "Hey Google" while the screen is locked and off triggers it.
I need the good old way of Google Assistant only working when I am on Home Screen, not when I am in any app, not when the phone is locked or screen is off, only when I am either on home screen or app drawer.
Any way to do it? Any magisk module or anything?

Not all functionality is available when locked such as I can turn my WiFi connected lights on without unlocking but need to use the fingerprint scanner to interact with apps most apps.
It's funny that I wanted my previous OnePlus 5 to be able to do this particularly with AutoVoice Tasker scripts but now that I have this feature with my OP7Pro but I'm not so comfortable with the phone and potentially Google always being the fly on my wall.
Sorry but I've not spend any time trying to address the issue as you described as I'm still deciding if the convenience is worth the voluntary surveillance.
I regularly watch the Daily Pocket now YouTube show and have seen him toss his spying Amazon Echo as he hates that it listens and then inundates him with adds related to what he was talking about. At least Google has only done that after I've done web searches although I'm sure this is just a ticking clock from changing.

I would love to know this as well as I have Google/Nest hubs in almost every room of my house and hate that it turns on my screen every time.

That is one of my main concerns, apart from battery drain that'd be there with constantly on mic (though have heard that newer QC chips have minimized that drain), google will always be on the listening mode, no matter if the phone is locked and in the pocket.
And I know that not much could be done from the lock screen, but it's annoying, my phone was on the table, and I was discussing something with my friend. I might have said something that would have sounded like hey google, and suddenly I hear "Here are the search results". Picked up the phone to see that it picked up certain words from the conversation, and had searched for it. As we were in a quiet room and the media volume was full, it wasn't very pleasing to suddenly hear that.
