Bixby/Google Assistant - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

When I tap to get Google Assistant on my Bluetooth earbuds bixby opens, how do I change that? It didn't do that on my 9+.
Thanks

Same problem here:
s20 plus + Xiaomi Airdots 2

Blast. I was hoping someone would have an answer here. I haven't tried using Bixby, but maybe there is a setting somewhere that we could flip... Welp, back to the drawing board! Er... Digital.... Idk

Under settings - apps, click on each of the Bixby apps/ services and ensure you clear the default settings. Once that's done, search for "Device assistance app" in settings and choose Google assistant. That fixed it for me

"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

Hi!
Follow the below steps.
Go to Google app(Beside Gmail app)>Click on the down right corner(three bar is there)>Settings>Voice>Voice match>Retrain voice model.
Then check ok google is working or not.

Can you make the google assistant button do other things?

I'm going to assume no since nobody has responded but maybe we should look into this, would be nice to have a way to use it another app launch or camera or something, even mute/unmute or something might be nice.
I'm sure there is a way to do this in Tasker. It will interrupt the assistant "call", and replace it with any other "call". The fun part is going to be finding a script for it.
The problem is it calls a specific app, I found an app on xda for remapping the assistant button but what it does is change itself to the default assistant, then automatically does whatever you set it to do instead of launching itself when you call the default assistant. However Samsung and LG in their infinite wisdom specifically call the default "google" app with the hardware button so all doing this does is disable that button. If you long press home it does open whatever app you tell it to instead of the google assistant but not if you push the hardware button. DUMB
If I remember correctly, Tasker can interrupt any call...

Actually on Samsung devices, it's easy to remap the Bixby button in order to do whatever you want.
Some useful apps are available to give you plenty of choice even though Samsung recently added the option to remap it for some specific tasks (I think it's open the camera app, Google Assistant in stead of Bixby or simply deactivate the button).
On my Galaxy S8 I had before and on the Note 8 of a friend of mine, we were able to set the button as changing the sound status from sound/vibrate/Nothing, make a specific action when double pressed or long pressed. All that without any Bixby ugly stuff or annoying Google Assistant actions.
I never tried on LG smartphones even if there is an option to deactivate the button in the settings.

What useful apps are/were you using?

On Samsung, it was BxActions (with adb permission).
On LG, I'm currently fine with the native options (Settings > Extensions > Shortcuts).

Yah I was trying to remap assistant key. But the shortcuts only allow you to turn it on or off.
Apparently, by rooting the phone (it was possible on the V40 and G7 as far as I noticed and someone somehow managed to do it on the V50), you can use "Automate" and kill the Google Assistant app as soon as it's launched (just the part launched by the button) and launch something else in stead.
As LG phones aren't mine (the ownership is LG, I just receive them until the next one arrive), my contract doesn't allow me to root or flash the main device without any authorization explicitly given by them.
Some research here on XDA gave the info in a matter of time: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/project-remap-google-assistant-key-t3934930

Google Assistant Listening in Full Screen

Can anyone tell me how to stop Google Assistant opening in full screen? It used to just pop up from the bottom on my note 8, but on my note 10+ it takes up the whole screen.

The screen that you are showing is not Google Assistant, instead this is Google Voice Search from the Google App. If you launch Assistant directly (using Home Button or Gestures), it will only pop up from the bottom.

Thank you. I actually factory reset and it's working now. I definitely Had an issue during install. Google was acting really strange. It would hang when I chose some of the options and things like that period I had installed google assistant but I don't think it ever fully installed which is why it was opening up Google Voice search.

How to deactivate OK Google

Hi,
Is there a way to deactivate OK Google when pressing the crown?
I keep pressing it by accident all the time.
Thanks
you can use an app like "Wear Button Remapper" and change the long press to set other app or nothing.
Note if you deactivate long press for Google assistant, it deactivate also Google assistant for other way like press the "Mic" icon.
Go to google assistant > setting > disable

There are no "Google Assistant" app on a Wear Watch, so no "Settings" for an app wich is not on the watch. It is a system inside app like the one on Google Home pod. There are just a setting to disable voice command "OK Google" on a Wear Watch. Even if you disable Google Assistant in one of your phone all the Google Home in the House are not disabled and also not disabled on your others phones.
one of the ways to disable it:
Settings - Tap the General tab - Under "Personal“ find "Language and Input“ - Find "Google voice typing“ and tap the Settings button (cog icon)
Tap "Ok Google“ Detection
Under the "From the Google app“ option, move the slider to the left.
That's it, you have successfully turned OK Google off.
Setting=> google assistant=>disable this.

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:
