One touch gps?

Hello there. I'm one of those users Wii turns all GPS/location services off when I'm not using it, but when I want to use gps, I have to long press the gps toggle, click the 2 boxes, then go to Google settings, click location services, turn Wi-Fi on, all that good stuff. Is there any widget or app I could use to turn all this on and off at once? Thank you in advance for your answers friends.

Why shut it off if not using it? It's not doing anything or activating anyhow so just keep it on. That toggle doesn't do anything but tell apps whether or not GPS is available. So if you aren't seeing the icon in the status bar, no GPS is being used. So just leave it on. Mines on all the time.

But that won't cause wake locks and drain the battery? As sparsely as it's used, doesn't seem worth the drain possibility, but when I need it, it's needed immediately, and briefly. That's why I'm asking if what I'm requesting is even possible.

It will not drain your battery unless it's being used by some app or something. Other than that, it's not being used unless you see the icon in the status bar.

you could use llama or tasker to create an action so when you open maps or any other program, turn on gps...and when you exit that program it will automatically turn off gps

Yes, you have to get an app called Secure Settings. I use it for my maps. The only thing is, you have to agree with the location service when it pops up. I don't mind, it only takes an extra second. I also created a widget that toggles location services on and off for the times I need to quickly access it. I love Tasker, it's awesome! I find automated tasks for it to do all the time.

Ok, after messing with it a few days, I can turn on and GPS when opening an app, but I cannot figure out how to toggle the location services in Google settings. Any suggestions?

Have you tried rebooting the phone? Or seen if any apps that produce an overlay are running? Like a night mode type app?

[Q]Settings missing for active edge

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?

Google Assistant doesn't work with Bluetooth headsets?

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.

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?

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.

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.

Screen shot notification and sound

Is there a way to disable the sound of the notification for a screen shot? It's kind of annoying. I understand the notification in case I would like to edit, but I think the sound is unnecessary.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
You can find and set it under apps and notifications > show all > show system processes > System-UI > (app info >) notifications.
edit: There is no way to disable the shutter sound except to disable the notification sounds.

I toggled the check mark for screen shot and tested. No sound, just a notification. Maybe mine was just bugged and toggling fixed it? Thanks for the help though.
