Long press home not bringing up assistant - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

When i long press the home button i get the animation, but assistant doesn't open. It will open with my voice though. Tried the Nova Launcher method unsuccessfully.
Edit: It is because i changed my display size smaller in settings. Working now.

[Q] Home button returns to last use Home Screen

Ok, I have search and search around the web but cannot find answer. (sorry if this question has been asked but I did try and search)
At the moment say you have a short cut to an app on one of your home screen that is not the default home (centre screen), when you press the Home button to exit the application it returns you to the centre default home screen instead of the home screen you launched the app from. Is there anyway to change that or a patch to put on the phone?
I know you can press the back button to do this, but just wanted to know can it be done via the Home button.
I am on Sense 3.0 by the way, not using any other launcher.
You can't, when you press the Home button you basically launch the Home app, in your case Rosie, and it launches with your default home screen first.
To put it simply, you can't.

Oh well, I guess there wasn't any harm to ask... I do think it is a bit stupid in my opinion... hehe.

Question regarding Go Launcher?

So, I really want to use Go Launcher, but have one issue. I want when I press the home button that it takes me to my middle home page. For example, let say I'm on screen four, I then go to an app, I then want to go to my HOME(main screen), when I press the home button, it takes me to the last screen I was on. I set the home screen up in the menu. Any advice? Thanks!
Try double tapping the home key

Under Go Launcher's preferences, the Gesture section, there's a setting for Home key action... set this to Function and then select "Show home screen, then overview" (or just "Show home screen", but I prefer the first myself). Then it will work ROUGHLY as you expect: a single tap of the home key while in an app or app tray will still bring you to the last home screen you were on, but tapping it again will bring you to your middle screen (and a third tap, if you selected the option I like, will show you the overview of all your home screens). FYI, I think you also need to disable S Voice's shortcut on the home key for this to work as well (it's in the settings inside S Voice as I recall).

[Q] Nova Launcher Long Press Home

I've been unable to remap the Long Press Home with Nova Launcher. I wanted to set long press home to activate google voice search as opposed to the multitask menu.
Anyone else have this issue?
I'm running rooted stoch H9 rom.
Thanks in advance.
Where do you see long press home in Nova? I see you can map it by just hitting home but I dont see a long press home option

Its possible to Turn off Google Assistant on Android Pie?

Hello everyone, is here any posibility to turn off Google Assistant when long press home button?. On Oreo I pressed Advanced Features - there I find Google and I can disable it. Now I can't find it anywhere - was this option dissabled?.
you should be able to disable it in the Google app settings under Assistant tab
Thnx for answer but everything is gray there, so I can't switch nothing. Also, the best case will be if is any possibility to don't start google assistant when long press home button - that's the main problem. When I use gestures, lot of time I want to go back to home screen but the google assistant will start. Any ideas?

if you don't use the google app at all, just disable it trough the application settings of the phone, this will stop assistant at 100%

Question Home button for assistant?

Does anyone know how to get the 'hold home button for assistant' option back?
I really miss this handy feature that worked on my Google pixel 3XL. Holding power button is no where near as useful and now home button does nothing at all.. a wasted button.
I've been trying to find a a root module but not having any luck

Under "gestures" in settings, I have double tap back of phone to activate google assistant. Also with Nova Launcher Prime you can assign different gestures for different app shortcuts. IE. I have swipe up for camera, double tap screen to turn off screen. etc..
Gesture Plus (app)
I'm in the same boat... I have the phone set to double tap the back for assistant, but every so often (far too often), double tapping the back doesnt do anything and so i have to look up the assistant app. Its really annoying, gonna try nova launcher settings, if that dont work, i dunno... I'm considering going back to my OnePlus 8 Pro, this phone has been failing me badly with its lag spikes, features not working, and other issues. Camera's amazing though!
