How to use google assistant? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

I tried every possible way of using Google assistant on my CM 13. Used Android N-fy, edited build prop but nothing worked.
It showed "This account isn't connecting to the feed"
Anyone running google assistant on their device? Help! Thanks.

It works for me on OP3. Follow this tutorial and let me know if it still gives you an error.

I think its my location issue. It says while loading feed "This account is not eligible for the feed"

join the beta version of the google app, make sure n-ify experimental is enabled and the google assistant thing is checked to enable, reboot and it should work
note: "ok google" didn't work for me but I just set long press home to google assistant. also i found that this drained my battery significantly so i uninstalled it a day later

Android Device Manager problems...

I'm trying to use the Android Device Manager, but I only get one device and no options to change..
I have an Samsung Galaxy Nexus with android 4.3 (JWR66V)
Could this have anything to do with me trying to root my device (Nexus Root Toolkit)?
I tried to root, but even though I got a message that my device was rooted, It's still un-rooted (But with unlocked bootloader)
The only device that shows up for me is my son's Nexus 7, which I have a profile on. My Galaxy Nexus doesn't show up and there's no drop down to select it.
What version of the toolkit did you use? If it wasn't the latest version (1.6.8 as of this writing) there may be additional steps required (beyond what's in the toolkit UI) when rooting 4.3.
I have allowed Device Manager in Settings, but on the web I see No active devices.

If your Android device doesn't appear in Android Device Manager, or if you see Unknown location despite your device being online and running Google Play services version 3.2.25 or higher, follow these steps:
1. Open Google Settings from your device's apps menu.
2. Touch Android Device Manager.
3. Uncheck Allow remote factory reset.
4. Go to your device's main Settings menu, then touch Apps > All > Google Play services.
5. Touch Clear Data. Note that this action doesn't remove personal data.
6. Go back to Google Settings and select Allow remote factory reset.
7. Restart your device.
Make sure you follow the directiions exactly or it won't work

Has anyone else had the situation where all devices were initially showing up in Android Device Manager, but no longer show up? Mine was working fine for a few days, and then out of nowhere, both my N4 and N10 disappeared from the web, and I'm getting the "No Active Devices" message. I tried the above tip, but it didn't work for me.

Both my N4 and N10 originally worked too, not just my N10 shows up. What's more disturbing is my N4 also disappeared from the Play Store on the web and my devices in my Google account dashboard.

Very weird. I haven't had either device disappear from the Play Store, but nothing I do will make them show up again in the Device Manager. Oh well. Guess I'm sticking with Cerberus as my anti-theft solution for now.

Yes, same with my N4. I'm not rooted. Neither is my phone
I've tried the instructions above 3 times and still it says "No active devices". Booo Google! Boo.
As with the other users, my N4 also no longer appears on the Play Store, so I can't install apps via a desktop browser any more. I guess the Play Store is now relying on Android Device Manager, which it shouldn't because it's clearly buggy as hell.
God forbid I lose my phone at this stage, having uninstalled Seekdroid. :-/

This might be a given but... Do you guys that are having issues have location services activated in Google Settings and also in your phone settings? I've noticed on more than one 4.3 ROM this gets shut off for some reason.. Also you need to accept the agreement to turn location services on. Just something to check.

Woohoo! I got my N4 working! The original steps alone DID NOT work for me. I tried them multiple times. However, a combination of adding the steps of disabling all location services and re-enabling them, as well as clearing data for Google Services Framework and Google Play Store (in addition to clearing data for Google Play Services and performing the other suggested steps) did the trick. I did a bunch of rebooting after most of these steps, but I don't remember exactly when (sorry). I did not have to remove/add my Google account.
I still have to get my N10 to be detected. I'll do this when I get a chance, and I'll pay closer attention to which steps fixed the issue.

"OK Google" detection form any screen suddenly not working

Google App v6.9.36.21.arm64, Viper ROM v4.4.0 and v4.5.0 (both clean installs), S-Off, Bootloader unlocked, TWRP v3.0.3.0_Unofficial.
Anyone else having issues with "Ok Google" detection not working when "From any screen" is selected? Even from within the Google app open with the search bar that states " "Say OK Google" ", I can't get the phone to respond to the "Ok Google" voice command. In other words, it never brings up a voice activated search.
If I deselect "From any screen", then it works from within the app with the search bar, as expected. But the moment I select "From any screen", and no matter how many times I've tried retraining the voice model, it never responds to "Ok Google".
Microphone is verified working.
The strange thing is that it was working a week ago, and nothing had changed since that time. I was running Viper 4.4.0 (Full ROM, not Magisk version) up until today (it was yesterday while on v4.4.0 that I noticed it wasn't working anymore), and today the v4.5.0 update came out, so I opted for a completely clean install to rule out any bad settings I may have mucked up at any point. Still, on v4.5.0 Full ROM (non-Magisc version), I can't get it working. I also tried installing Google Now Launcher to see if it would work with a different launcher, and still no luck.
Google App has permissions to Microphone (have also tried clearing data from app, and resetting it up, completely uninstalling Google App and reinstalling/setting up - still no joy). I've removed Google App from battery optimization, no change. I just can't make heads or tails of it. My wife's phone (Samsung GS7) has the same version of the Google App installed, and hers works fine, so it can't be the app.
Anyone out there care to verify on their phone if "Ok Google" detection from any screen works for them? And what is your ROM, Root, Bootloader, and S-on/S-off situation? I'm just a little curious with all the "Feature blocking for rooted devices" that's been going on lately, if Google blocked the use of "Ok Google" voice detection from any screen for rooted and/or bootloader unlocked devices for some strange reason.
Thanks! Any hits/tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated.
Can anyone at least verify if "OK Google" detection from any screen is working on their HTC 10?

Just so I'm clear, are you suggesting to delete, then retrain the voice model from the Google App? Just want to be sure I understand, since I've performed the voice model training countless times since the issue popped up.
For the record, I don't have the Google Now Launcher installed. I only installed it once after noticing OK Google detection wasn't working, and when I noticed it didn't change anything, I removed it.
Thanks, and if you don't mind sharing your phone's setup?

You don't need to delete it, just retrain it. I've had to do this myself a few weeks ago.

OK, well, I've done it both ways (simply retraining, as well as deleting, then retraining). Nothing seems to restore functionality.
Thank you for the input.
Yes exactly ! Retrain ok google . But if that doesn't solve the problem . don't know what to do next .
Well, as an informational update to this issue, I flashed a stock RUU for my variant (US Unlocked, 2.38.617.6), and everything functions as intended. So, there's something funky going on with the custom ROM I was running. Attempting the Magisk version next to see if it all works there.

I believe I'm on the same ROM as you, and am using the classic SuperSU version, and it is working for me. I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't.
I'll try and see if I can find one for you though.
Further testing shows that it works on the Magisk version, but then immediately flashing back to the classic version with PHH Superuser, it ceases to function. I'll try testing with the classic version of the ROM using SuperSU, instead.
One last update for the day. Installing Viper v4.5.0 with SuperSU insteaed of PHH seems to have solved the issue, as well. Seems something about PHH is interfering with Google App voice detection from any screen.
Thanks for the input, guys.
I have magisk / phh r2 installed and my "OK Google" detection from the Google now on tap screen works very poorly. I've been thinking I had to yell at it to detect my voice, but even that is hit or miss. When I enable OK Google detection from any screen, it works just fine.
Edit: running 2.38.617.6 with latest magisk, included root, magisk hide enabled, and systemless host enabled for AdAway 3.2.

Odd... Man, I've tried so many things to get it working on a fresh install of 4.5.0 with PHH, and could never get it to work.
I would even do a fresh, full wipe install, then I wouldn't install any apps, set up voice model for OK Google, and still couldn't get it to work.

Google Apps problem on China Oreo Rom Solution

I've stayed on the China rom since I bought my phone and everything was fine with the Google apps until the update to Oreo 9.5.2. Problems encountered were constant crashing and popups, battery drain and Google Assistant stopped working. Here's how I solved the issues:
1) Go to this link and install the updated Google apps for Oreo http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
2) I tried several Assistant apps on the play store but all crash immediately just like Google Assistant. So I've switched to Cortana (until Xiaomi fix the bug) and it works perfectly.
Hope this helps anyone that decided to stay on the China rom like me.
P.S. Before anyone asks. No, I don't want the Global rom or a custom rom. No I don't want to flash, mod, magisk or anything else. Just posting a tip. Thanks.
Bump, I also have the problem and it's fustrated to know my Google assistant and Google app not working.
I tried to solve it with this solution, but still have the problems.
Also 4/6 apps it didnt install, because I have a newer version.
Are there any other solutions?

Uninstall your other Google apps and install these. Make sure you follow the instructions exactly. Install but don't open and make sure you use the 8.0 version of Google Services Framework and not 8.1. Reboot your device and log back into Google. You also have to enable all the permissions, autostart, background, don't kill, no restrictions etc just like a regular app since they're not treated like a system apps by MIUI. If Google Play Services starts draining the battery just force stop it. Opening any other Google app will restart it in normal mode.
All this works for me so far and I'm also getting about an extra hour of battery life along with the major ram management improvements on Oreo.
Another thing. If Google Play Services is causing battery drain, disable Modify System Settings in permissions. I've been getting the battery drain issue once in a while and found a possible solution in the Oneplus forums. So far it seems to be working.

Here's the solution to the Google app problem. Google Assistant won't show up as the default Voice Assistant so you'll have to just use voice on the normal app.

I only added the Google Partner Setup apk from that link to mine and disabled Modify System Settings in permissions and everything seems ok so far. You can also try force stopping Google Play Services and opening the Play Store. That worked for me too but it doesn't solve all the problems.
I'm presuming you followed the original instructions to the letter and installed the apps in order without opening anything and then rebooting?

Good to hear. Disabling the Modify System Settings permission solved my battery drain issue. Everything works so I'm not exactly sure what that permission does.

I follow the installation guide here:

But the thing is the Miui 9 now needs to give permission to install 3rd party apps for each app, but I do set it up that the Mi File Manager has the right to do that but same thing, still has that Parse error when trying to install the Google Account Manager.
I don't see Xiaomi store has GApps anymore, where did you get it from?

I really don't understand why you're not able to install it successfully. Try uninstalling everything again and follow this method exactly http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
Make sure you install only the 8.0 version of Google Services Framework and not 8.1. Don't open anything until you have rebooted.
This is the one I used and only added Google Partner Setup from the other method whilst disabling Modify System Settings in the permissions for Google Services Framework.

I just chose the first one that came up. But if you're suspecting the files are corrupted just download the updated versions directly from Apkmirror.

Hi guys, does any of you have this issue with Google Play services automatically update to version 12.2.21 and then puts Google play store in a loop displaying the message "Authentication is required. You need to sign in your Google account" even though I am signed in and press the retry button. I can confirm previous versions of Google play services do not cause this issue, but there is no way to stop the damn thing from automatic updating, even though the app store has autoupdate off.
I tried removing the account and adding it back. Tested with another Google account and same issue.

I had the same issue when I updated to Oreo. Try and Force stop Google Play Services and deny it permission to Modify System Settings. The Force Stop will allow you to access the Play Store temporarily and for some reason denying permission to Modify System Settings permanently solves the battery drain and Play Store issue. I have no idea why but someone posted it on the OnePlus forums and it works.

Something went wrong. Try again.'
Anyone else had this? And if so how did you fix it?
Cheers

I meant wipe Google app's data. Settings>apps & notifications>see all apps>click show system from overflow menu. Then clear all data from Google and OK google enrollment and reboot then set up Google app settings again

Hmm. A few more ideas if you're interested in trying
1. type "trust agent" into search settings and make sure it's toggled on under security settings. Maybe try toggling it off, reboot, then turn it back on.
2. uninstall google app updates and see if it starts working (settings>apps>google>overflow menu)
If none of those work I would think about flashing the factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/images

Thanks for the help. 1 & 2 did not work.
Contemplating whether to do 3 or see if December update fixes my issue!
So I reinstalled Android 10 from factory image with ADB. Not the OTA. Did not reinstate any back up and still hey Google does not work... "There was a problem".
Pants!
try these steps that will completely bring back Assistant to as close to stock as possible without totally resetting the device...
go into Settings/Apps & Notifications/See all apps
*you may need to display “all apps”
Google Play Services
Clear data from within “storage & cache”
Assistant
Clear data from within “storage & cache”
Uninstall
open Google Play Store
Go to menu/sandwich bars in the top left location
Go to “My apps & games”
Re-search, download, & install Google Assistant
launch Google app
Go under the “More” tab section
Go & Select the “Voice” section
Select “Voice Match” section
Select “delete voice model”
Choose “retrain voice model” (if possible – I don’t wish to delete mine)
Follow prompts and re-set up voice match model…
Make sure “Access with Voice Match”
I had/have to frequently reset Google Assistant and “hotword” set up, so this is the steps I take to reset Assistant so it will respond to me saying the “hotword”….it works 95% of the time where the other 5% is rebooting my device and then running through all of these steps……
Hope this ends up being helpful and good luck!

I would try deleting and retraining your voice model.
I had noticed a while back that Ok Google wasnt activating assistant on my phone. I deleted the voice model and retrained it and Ok Google as been working fine now to activate assistant. So letting the OP know that this worked for me.
FFS. Have tried all methods suggested here and I can't get ok Google or get Google to work. It works in my old Yotaphone but not my Google Pixel! Go figure!
I guess I will learn to live without it.
Thanks for all your help.
March update has fixed my issue! Hey Google working well again no.
Mods please close this thread.

Google Play not installing or updating apps

Hello, I am with Lineage OS (19-20230130-NIGHTLY-gauguin) and for about a week Google Play has stopped working.
It opens normally but when trying to install or update it gets stuck in downloading and then goes to failed. I have enough memory space and haven't made any changes to the device other than updating Lineage OS from time to time via the built-in updater.
I have installed Aurora market and connect it to my google account but the same thing happens when I try to install or update an app: it stays downloading and then fails.
Things I've tried, without success:
- Clear cache and data from Google Play, Google Play Services and download manager.
- Uninstall updates in the Google Play app.
- Uninstall the app from Google Play by fastboot and reinstall it.
- Remove my Google account from the phone and put it back in and sync it.
Any ideas?
Could you figure out where it fails? Perhaps it's "just" the network:
I have an adblocker on my router and lately I couldn't login into several sites properly until I switched from WLAN to mobile.
Alternatively you could try
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.aurora.store/
It's like Google Play Store without the need for an account.

Thanks for your response. It shouldn't be the network because I'm able to navigate properly. Anyway, I tried both wifi and phone data with the same result. Also, it started happening just a week ago and I have been using the same connection all the time so I would discard it be network related.
Aurora I tried already and gave the same problem as Google Play.

Indeed it's weird... I thought it could be an issue like this but in my case I didn't do an upgrade to a higher LineageOS version, just normal updates.
BTW I love your username

Hang on a second, just tried my FP3 which was on 20230123 and updates working (there was one: Android Auto). Now updating to 20230130 and checking again...
Still updating...
Someone in that reddit link mentioned mindthegapps... I vaguely remembered that I was slightly annoyed/confused with the directions given in the LOS wiki:
OpenGApps vs MindTheGapps
https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps
Finally decided to go with MindTheGapps... do you recall your choice?
Ah, it finally finished updating: Aurora is up and working (at google translate installed like a charm and works).
