Talkback semi-enabled when tasker accessibility option is checked

So I have tasker and I use it for a couple things, but one thing in particular is I use it so it turns on my screen for 5 seconds when google voice gets a notification. However, in order to have this enabled, tasker needs to have the "tasker - JB" accessibility option checked. When this is checked, it prompts saying "talkback cannot be enabled while airview is enabled, disable airview to enable talkback". If you go ahead and hit disable it turns on "tasker - JB" and turns off airview (though talkback accessibility is still off).
So I was fine with this for a while until I started using my s-pen. Now when I hover over my emails from my email app (not gmail) it will start reading emails as I hover over them. If I turn airview back on (at this point talkback has NEVER been enabled in the options), it still does the same thing.
In conclusion it seems like the tasker - JB accessibility option is causing talkback to be semi-enabled when hovering the s-pen over. I haven't noticed any other apps talking back besides the stock email app, gmail does not talk back.
Just a funny little quirk..

TalkBack with S-pen in mail app
Had the same issue when I installed an app (WatchIt!) for my SmartWatch which required permission for Accessibility Services. So I disabled TalkBack in the Application Manager, guess what, it defaulted to Google TTS Engine (I noticed a voice change). So, I responded like a war dog, and instantly disabled the same... The d’riod hits back, it defaulted to Samsung TTS (another voice change, this time a female). Finally I had the upper hand when I disabled that too. Now it is working fine.
In more 'formal/serious' terms, disable the following three TTS engines:
Google Text-to-speech Engine
Samsung TTS
TalkBack
Please note that you might have to disable any other too if you have more.

The same thing happens to me and it drives me nuts. I wish I could find a way to fix it.
1. Changing home screen pages from the little "bubbles" at the bottom of the home screen makes it say the number "1" "2" "3"
2. Zooming out on the home screens makes it say "Open home screen paged edit"
3. Selecting one makes it say "Home screen 3 of 5"
4. Opening an app folder makes it say "Folder Open" and then when you close it, "Folder Closed".
5. And of course, the most irritating: Hovering over an email with the pen in the email app makes it read the ENTIRE message out...
I need Tasker to get my notifications, there's got to be a way to disable this stupid thing.

[Q] Ok Google not available?

I have a Verizon Note 4, and when I go to turn on Google Now's "Ok Google," there is only an option for using it in the Google app or home screen. Please help!

do you have the widget on your homescreen? the one for search with the mic on it?

Turn off that same setting S Voice first, then go back to Google Now to enable it.

Ok Google only works on the home screen as the widget unless you turn it completely on. The settings are under languages/voice search/Google search. Checkmark all three options, and then you can remove the redundant home screen widget.

"OK GOOGLE" refuses to work until I launch the app

Hello everyone
I have Huawei Nova 3 "PAR-AL00" (Chinese version) and I seem to have a problem with Google assistant.
Phone doesn't respond to "OK GOOGLE" and that seems to have relation with app background activity because after I launch the assistant app manually and press the home button the phone starts to respond to "OK GOOGLE". But also every time I open the assistant it says "Google isn't your default assistant app" even though when I press setting I find it is the default one not the stock app "HiVoice".
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this?
Thanks

Try to remove it from the list of hibernating apps, that did it for me on my PAR-LX1

Go to apps> Google >clear data>retrain your voice

How to launch Google Assistant on phone from Galaxy Watch

Hi all,
I've been searching for a way to trigger Google Assistant on the phone from the watch (kind of like a remote Google Assistant button) and I thought I'd share my progress and gather insights for alternatives/better ways of doing it. This might be super obvious to some of you but for me it was a long way in the making. I started off wanting to develop a separate app from the watch to do this, but ended up just using Tasker to create a notification with 'Voice Command' as its Action.
Why:
Sometimes I want Google Assistant to make a call, send a text, check the weather, set a reminder, play a song etc. but "OK Google" isn't registering. GAssist.net is still growing and doesn't have full assistant functionality yet. Also on my old phone, the screen had to be on for the Google Assistant hotword to be registered, so this is an explicit way to access it.
Requirements:
Tasker 5.9
Android phone
Instructions:
Creating the notification in Tasker
1. Go to Tasks and press '+'
2. Name the task whatever you want, e.g. 'Assistant notification'
3. Press '+' > Alert > Notify
4. Title: 'Launch' , Text: 'Google Assistant' , Icon: <Whatever you want>, Priority: '5', Repeat Alert: Checked, Vibration Pattern: '1', Category: (Press the search and press 'User Notifications' )
5. Under actions, press '+'
6. Label: 'Start', Action: (Press the search and select 'Input' > 'Voice Command')
7. Go back on the top left corner
8. Press the play on bottom left to see if the notification launches, check Google Assistant opens when you press 'Start' in the notification
Creating the profile to trigger the notification in Tasker
What this does is every time the screen turns off, it will send the notification. You can alter this if you want to whatever suits you
1. Go to Profiles and press '+'
2. State > Display > Display State > Is 'Off'. Go back (top left corner)
3. There should be a pop up with tasks, select 'Assistant Notification'
4. Make sure the toggle is on for the profile
Test it on your watch. When the phone screen turns off, see if a notification comes through, and see if you can start Google Assistant from the notification on the watch.
Let me know how you go and what your thoughts are Feedback welcomed.

Notification task setting and how it looks on the watch

I can't find the 'user notification' in category. Just say you don't have any profile.

Question Any way to force google assistant instead of Bixby?

As per the title, I've tried everything I could find to replace bixby with Google assistant but nothing seems to work properly.
Has anyone managed to force assistant to be the default, along with OK, Google?
Thanks!

Odd, I would think that it would work the same as on any other Samsung device. Just set it as Default. I also use a Package Manager to disable Bixby anything if I need too, but when I get my Fold 3 next week, I will let you know if someone has not answered by then.

settings > apps > choose default apps > digital assistant app > device assistant app
choose google.

I read some where that in oneui 4.0 you will be able to replace bixby with Google assistance on button.

My side button already activates Google Assistant by default, press and hold. I actually don't want it to. I have the power menu option selected for it in settings yet it does Google Assistant anyway! No bixby anywhere to be found.

How did you get google assistance on your button? Since right now only bixby is possible. Unless you install 3rd party app that does the work.

I have no idea! Smart switched from Note20 Ultra, and it just works like that. I don't want it. Like I said I set my power button to be a power button. I wish I knew! All I know is that Google assistant is set as default and side key is set to power menu. Maybe try that? I'm still trying to figure out how to disable this because I want my power menu back! If I figure it out I'll update here. (See attached video so you know I'm not just pulling your leg)

Okay I figured it out. Apparently I had a Bixby routine I forgot about! Must have carried over to my new phone but lost its "inactive" state. Not sure when I created this but totally forgot. So through Bixby routines you can override the preset options and make the button do whatever you want. Search for Bixby Routines and just create one like in the screenshot:
