Hi
I need to change my default digital assistant from Google to say alexa or something else..I go through the settings... Apps / default apps then change it to something else or even none..but after some time it automatically changes back to Google.. Talked to a particular app developer about it..he said it's coz of android 11.. Is there any way out of this?
Disable it in Gookill settings...
Tried turning off google assistant from google settings but it reverts back to google assistant after 5 mins or so.
Not sure what it runs as. I don't have it directly disabled.
I do have Google Quick search package disabled.
Turn off voice assistant etc.
Go through all the Google settings, it's a mess and there are many. The online ones too.
It may be hidden in weird places like keyboard settings

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

Forwarding the instruction how to enable OK Google voice command from everywhere if someone is interested...

I can't find a way to enable Ok Google command while the screen is turned off. Does that mean this option isn't avaiable on the Galaxy A8? That would be a huge bummer. Also, they decided to only include a few parts of Bixby, basically rendering it useless.

Ok Google is not even working when the screen is on. I was asked to train the phone to recognize my voice (which I did) but, now the Voice Match option is greyed out in Google app settings. I tried everything, I cleared the cache of Google app, I tried using Nova Launcher instead of the default launcher, I tried restarting the phone. That's another bummer.

it was enough for me to go to the language and input settings and select google speech synthesis and then it works, but not off-screen ...
Since yesterday I have a seemingly unresolvable issue with the Assistant on my Pixel 3. Running Android 10 and been using swedish as the main language for a while (the issue is the same with english btw).
Stuff like setting timers, alarms, making calls, sending texts and playing music have worked fine for a long time.
Right before things went wrong I got an error message about no Google account being associated to the Assistant. I reverted it to my Google account and figured everything was fine.
Then later the Assistant started failing, and in particular to do these tasks:
- set timers
- set alarms
- make calls
- send texts.
When I try these I'm only met with the three grey pulsating dots, and no audio response or text confirmation.
Stuff that it still does, though, are:
- play music via Spotify, Google Play Music
- tell me the weather
The strange thing though is that if I set Assistant to be used without an account, it works! Also if I create a brand new test Google account, it manages those basic tasks that have stopped working on my regular Google account.
So, on Android 10, security update april 5th.
I've been trying to resolve this for 24hrs now, and frustration is growing. I've:
- tried to clear cache/data for the Google app
- inactivated it, rebooted, activated, updated
- tried the beta Google app
- tried various old versions from apkmirror -- from march, earlier in april (at a time when my Assistant was working)
- rebooted in Safe mode -- here it uses the old Assistant interface! and it actually works, but it's the clunky old one!
- checked permissions for the Google app/Clock/Telephone app/Messages -- everything seems to be enabled?
- gone through my settings for my Google account: web and app activity, location history and so on is Enabled. Personlig ads also on.
Another weird thing is that sometimes it actually seems to set a timer, but no confirmation and no notification visible. Also nothing is shown in the Clock app. But a timer beeps after five minutes -- only sometimes! Weird.
Now when I was experimenting with this I tried to set a timer, then opened the Clock app and of course, no timer was running. I then got one of those blue notification fields at the bottom, saying I can use the Assistant to set timers, alarms etc. I touched it and got an Assistant popup saying "It's not possible to reach Google right now" (translated)... Hmmm!
As you can tell, this is very weird. I would appreciate any pointers and suggestions! Thanks in advance
So this is what a typical response looks like:

And in Your Activity, it says I set a timer and got a response, but that is is simply untrue!
https://photos.app.goo.gl/VGmrP1G4KU9HE66C8
(I switched to english temporarily to try to illustrate).
So, for every one of those attempts absolutely no resonse except for the pulsating dots was shown in Assistant! :/
So strange.
I zeroed my phone completely again, and set it up with my regular Google account but WITHOUT copying apps and settings. Assistant STILL WON'T DO BASIC TASKS LIKE TIMERS.
I zeroed it again and instead made a brand new Google account: Assistant immediately performs those basic tasks.
I really need some help here, please.
OK, so I went back and disabled all the data & privacy settings in Assistant, and now it can set a timer. But beyond that it's quite useless as it can't get access to make calls or do texts etc. So I gradually enabled setting by setting, and I've concluded that the "Web & App Activity" toggle breaks my Assistant somehow. It doesn't matter if I check or uncheck the "Include Chrome history..." or "Include voice and audio recordings" boxes, if the main toggle is on my Assistant hits some kind of wall with timers, texts and calls. Beyond this I can't understand what I can do to influence this?!
My uncle give me an doogee mix with no display but the touch work, but he does'n know the password, so I hard reset it and after a reboot I activated the accessibility options and used a keyboard, but I didn't find my wifi so I put an sim card, and after that the phone sayid something like "This devices has been reset, please enter the account from the owner", and after I shearch, I finded a video how to bypass google FRP, but it's from 2019 and it needs youtube app, but my youtube is asking for a update but there is no "not now" button there is only the update button, how can I bypass this, please
sorry for my bad english .-.
I did it, to bypass this device frp you need to go into accessibility, enable talkback,
draw a "L" on screen,
you can press volume + and - to suspend talkback ( I didn't do this because my device screen is dead),
go to help options and voice assistant help,
google settings, something related to maps, timeline,
google maps will open,
go to menu, start driving,
tap microphone icon and say open chrome,
chrome will open,
download technocare,
download apex launcher and open it
go to settings, apps, google play services, disable,
go to security, devices administrators, disable device manager and/or find my device (device manager on my device was already disabled, so I disabled find my device,
install technocare,
go to settings, accounts, add account,
add an account and check if the account appear in accounts menu,
enable google play services again,
reboot device,
done
sorry for my bad english again, and the explanation is what I remember I did on my device
here is the video I used to do this:
Does anyone know a way to make Google assistant voice typing work?
I got stuck with gboard saying multilingual typing and no longer can enable assistant typing even though the options are turned on.
It keeps defaulting to regular voice typing. I don't want to wipe my phone just to get this stupid busted feature working. I had to do that last time this bug happened to me.
Edit: I just reset the cache and data in Google, Gboard, and set all Google voice and Google Assistant settings to one language. I also set my activity controls to one language as well. Anywhere a language was set on Google account side or within the phone settings seem to do the trick. Google makes this a insane setup to figure out.
