Just noticed that Assistant doesn't work with any of my Bluetooth headsets that I used on the Pixel 1.
Is this a new change with Assistant forcing you to buy a compatible headset?
I would usually use a command to call a contact but it seems like it doesn't hear my voice command.
If I disconnect my Bluetooth headset, Google Assistant would be able to register my voice.
Yes I noticed that the day I got the phone, hopped into my car, sync'd bluetooth and then tried to perform a voice command. Google Assistant never heard me. I had to turn off "Bluetooth Headset" Under google voice typing.
Not sure why this is a problem but I am sure someone else out there knows why.

More on the issue here. My latest post kind of explains what I figure is the problem.

I had to go into the Google app settings and allow Bluetooth to be used as a microphone

It's under "Hands-free". Also, the Bluetooth recording doesn't seem to be working though. A lot of people have needed to actually turn off that setting because the audio doesn't appear to be sent from the Bluetooth device to the phone. With the option off it will capture from the phone mics however.

It is under "Hands-Free". The previous poster said that even with that option enabled there are still issues. I guess it depends on your headset. My Jaybird X3 sport seem to work fine.
My issue has been that with the bluetooth in my car, sometimes the microphone works, and sometimes it doesn't. There seems to be absolutely no reason as to why it will work one minute, then not the next. I'm just trying to deal with it, seems to be software related and should hopefully be fixed in due time.

But are you sure it's picking up from your headset or are you close enough to your phone that the phone is picking your voice up instead?

Did the November update fix those for anyone?

I use the Jaybird freedom 2 and it works only on the first sentence I speak after pressing the button on the earphone. Pressing the button the second time, while google assistant is still on screen, does not work. From the speaker animation at the bottom, it seems it is not listening. I have to close google assistant and re-launch the app to make it listen again.

I didn't. I'd have to wipe my phone to go back to 8.0 to get the update.

Thanks for reminding me it's not listed yet. I was about to wipe my phone but would have sucked if i wiped and it took forever for the OTA to come down. I'll wait for it to show up on the Dev page.

Is there a way to activate Google Assistant via holding the fingerprint reader?
I don't think so...but i know while the phone is off you can say "OK, Google" to launch assistant.
Long pressing the home button activates it as well...
OK Google on screen off only works if you don't have a lock screen password though (which makes sense).

I'm sure this can be done over time here at XDA. I'm more interested in seeing page scrolling with fingerprint reader.

I would have assumed it would just answer your questions without unlocking the phone fully.

Anyone know how to get the mic to show in the pill? I had it showing before but can't remember how I did it.
I have the opposite question. How to remove the mic in the pill..?

Some how on my pixel 2 xl, the active edge settings only has squeeze for silence. It is missing the Squeeze for assistant and allow when screen is off. I have read you have to turn this on when you are setting up the phone and must have missed it. Does anyone know where to resolve this at?

Go in Google app/Settings/Google Assistant/Settings/Phone/Squeeze for your Assistant/Active Edge Settings. Everything is in there.

Be sure to read the updates to that article, as it posts a workaround using adb. Hopefully Google fixes this
I have an app that basically acts like a podcaster that I always listen to - primarily in the car. When I get down the road OR when I sit at my desk on home wifi, after a couple of minutes, the broadcast stops. It acts very much like sleep is killing the reception. Is anyone seeing this with both wifi and ota? Thanks.
Just recently got a Pixel 2 XL and neither of these features are working. I've turned them off and back on with no luck. I read a few threads that were older about proximity sensor issues. Any ideas?

You can test the proximity sensor by installing the Sensor test app and you will see, if it's working.
Another simple way to test it is that you place a call, put the phone to your ear (screen should turn off) and remove it (screen should turn on again).
I had to RMA'd it because of this issue, which btw does not happen on all devices after updating to 8.1.
With new device I never had this issue again.
I had this problem after Google's "accidental experiment/phone takeover" last week, and even after they corrected it, I had to clear 'Google Play Services' cache before it worked properly.
