Saying OK, Google opens Voice Search and tapping on google assistant icon opens up Google Search.
What I have tried:
Clearing data and cache for both Google App and Google Services App
Going back to previous versions of Google and Google Services Then updating them
and that's about it
Here's some screenshots:

Works find here
I have been having this problem for quite a while now. I'm using a rooted stock version with TWRP, Nova launcher. Always get the "can't reach Google at this moment" message.
Like it sucks. I tried literally everything. The beta is fine everywhere else, but the missing google assistant.
I've been having all kinds of issues with Assistant as well. I asked it to "navigate to Michaels craft store" and it just kept asking which Michael from my contacts I wanted to navigate to over and over and over. Kept glitching out till I rebooted and now it only loads the search widget lol.

works here i tried to upload a screen record but wont upload.
Have you guys figured this out at all? I don't understand why no one else is having these issues? It's persisted through all Open Betas thus far. Look at my screenshot. This is the screen I get when I use the assistant shortcut app. It will kind of work if I do say Ok Google but then it just bugs out in all future searches. This is maddening.
Had the problem also in stable. Switched to Beta (clean install) to get rid of it and try out pie, but still the same.
I found out a solution myself
Go to "Phone Settings"
Select "Buttons & Gestures"
Enable toggle for "Quick activate the assistant app"
Go back to home screen and hold the power button for less than a second
This will enable Google Assistant app and you will get the welcome screen
Click "Get started" on the bottom and click the "Agree" button to activate and select the features on next screen
This will solve all the issues. Now you can go back to "Google" app and go to the 2nd tab named "updates"
Don't forget to press the "THANKS" button on this post

In the past few days I'm using Executive Assistant as my lockscreen replacement, and it's very complete: it is very customizable, and shows all your unread emails, sms, unanswered calls, upcoming events etc.
The only thing I don't like is that if I press the home button, the stock lockscreen kicks in, and I cannot find a way to get rid of it for good.
Has anyone found a solution for this? I would like Executive Asssitant to be the only lockscreen on my phone.
Thanks!
This is the URL to the app developer: http://www.appventive.com/executive-assistant
Try downloading Home Switcher from the Market, then launch the app.
If Executive Assistant is in the list, then tap Clear default at the bottom, scroll down, tap Clear defaults, press the Back softkey, press the Home button, then check the Set as default box before tapping Executive Assistant.
use the app called "no lock".

So far the only lockscreen replacement that works flawlessly is GoTO, but I don't like it so much.

Executive Assistant doesn't show in the list so, if I got it right, the problem is with ADW Launcher: basically whatever lock screen replacement I choose, when I hit the home button ADW recalls the stock lockscreen.
Any replacement I choose is simply laid on top of the stock one, instead of substituting it.
So Executive Assistant is just an app and not a home/lockscreen replacement.
Dunno where to go from here, sorry.

So that's it, then? Is there NOTHING that gives basic missed notifications about calls/texts/emails etc with names on the lockscreen for android that works efficiently or smoothly?? I've searched and searched this forum and the market and even bought and tried widgetlocker with the Missed It! app which seemed to be the closest thing to what I've been searching and it didn't work. I mean, close, but no cigar. It was very inaccurate (said there were missed things when there weren't). Does it have to do with another of apple's f'ing "patents"? I just want to know, if anyone can help out, if this exists or not so I can stop my mindless searching that has been eating up my time for the past 3 days.Thanks all.
Oh, on samsung galaxy s3. at&t but i'm searching all over the forums.
I have installed the Wikipedia app, did not like it, and uninstalled it.
Now when I do searches on Google, the results are presented to me with a link to be read in the app, as if I still had the app.
How do I get rid of this behavior? Here is an example (found online). The link in red is supposed to open the Wikipedia app to the appropriate page; on my device I just get redirected to the Play store to download the app (which I find immensely annoying).

I think you are asking how to change the default app for a specific file type. Try this http://www.guidingtech.com/13517/change-default-program-android-file-type-open/. I think Astro file manager can also do it

Hi... yes that solved it.... I of course knew about file type open default, but somehow this did not come to my mind specifically for Google search results. But in reality it's the same mechanism that is used by Google and Chrome.
Thanks for refreshing my mind! :good:
Hi,
I have the same problem but I didn't get your solution. Which app should I "reset" default? I tried chrome and google search, but it doesn't work. Apparently there is no wikipedia since I've uninstalled it..
Thank you.

Exact same problem with my Nexus 4.
I'm having a similar issue, except I don't want to stop using the Wikipedia app. Both Chrome and Google Search will not open Wikipedia app links as displayed in OP's image. Touching the link does nothing. Attempting to correct the issue, I reset defaults for Chrome and Google Search, which did not help. The 'reset defaults' option for Wikipedia is greyed out, so I uninstalled the app. Google Search and Chrome Wiki links still claim the app is installed, and touching these links does nothing.

I don't get the fix. Which app did you clear defaults for? I've resorted to using Firefox for the meantime, but I don't want to forever. I like chrome.
Please advise which app to clear defaults for.
If you search for Wikipedia on the Play Store website, you will see that it says that the app is installed. The same goes for every other app that you've ever installed. I think that may be the real problem.

Maybe you need to turn on Voice Access in Accessibility settings
Actually I have just checked mine and it is available, you must have chosen a setting while setting up the assistant which is blocking it.
Have you updated to the latest build? I see someone has posted this question on the google support forum
Yeah I'm on the latest build. Soo wierd.

Mine still doesn't work.
I have the same problem and removing the second language thus only leaving English unfortunately didn't fix it for me either.
I had the same problem but a server side update I think is what was needed to actually fix it. I tried to play around with the voice settings like some people had said, but that didn't seem to do anything so that makes me think it was either server-side thing or even a simple update on the app from Google Play because I had a ton updates needed to be done.

Same here. Had two languages (both support the new assistant), deleted the second, only English remaining - still greyed out.
Now I've even tried to just Factory Reset and just allow everything on the next setup.
But guess what, even now the Assistant voice typing is greyed out.
I had English and French in Google Assistant settings. Removed French and rebooted and voila - voice typing enabled. Thanks guys..
I don't have another language in the Google Assistant settings but it still doesn't give me the option to turn on assistant voice typing.
Problem solved. Just go to Google Play and do "update all" for all apps. Follow this thread for details: https://support.google.com/pixelpho...typing-is-greyed-out-in-gboard-settings?hl=en
I solved the problem on my Pixel 6 Pro by doing the following for two apps: Gboard and Google.
- In Settings, force stop the app, then clear its cache
- In Play Store, uninstall updates (by clicking on Uninstall), then Update
I have a notification from Google that says 'Downloading'. When I try to find what specifically is showing it, it says Data Download Notification Channel. I'd prefer to just figure out why it's there and be able to fix the issue, and not just hide the notifications from that one specific thing. Anyone hav any ideas how?

I know this doesn't give you what you want, but I would just chalk it up to a one-off quirk. I would expect rebooting would likely get rid of it, and hopefully, it wouldn't return, at least not regularly.

Rebooting does temporarily get rid of it but it comes back pretty soon after reboot. So I don't think it's a one off unfortunately.
Edit: my mobile data signal just went to like one bar and the notification went away. When I drove into a better signal area it came back.

pixel 6 "Google notifications"
Does anyone know why I'm getting a Google Downloading notification so many times a day, and you can't clear them either, without disabling every notification in settings. It doesn't give any clue as to what's being downloaded. When I tap & hold...
forum.xda-developers.com
Same here.
I've had this numerous times. Go into Apps and force stop the Google app. It makes it go away permanently. Or at least until next time it happens.
Just use wifi network for few minutes. Google has some updates to do in background. So that it keeps coming.
You can try below 2 other solutions if you like.
1. Turn off data download notification in settings.
2. Update the offline voice.
Open Google app > Top profile > Settings > Voice > offline voice Recognition > Languages > update.
