Google assistant - ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Ok, so I have a UK Axon7, and I just got GA, it might have been purely coincidence but I kept reading about the US getting it first, so I changed my language settings to US, rebooted my phone and within 10 seconds I had the welcome to Google assistant page up.

Wish it worked on Chinese version, sadly not

Don't give up, I am now more convinced of this, I changed my language back to UK English, and it went back to Google Now.
Make sure you change the Language in both settings under advanced, and more importantly the language to US under the google App settings and remove your default language.
Make sure you have the very latest google app apk installed, reboot the phone and then go through the google voice set up, so it worked from any screen, then all of a sudden. " Welcome to Google Assistant"

Is there anyway to install Google Assistant without root or unlocking bootloader?

Works for me. Thanks

I haven't done either, all you might need to do is sideload the latest Google play services, but might not even need that, i think its a case of just changing the language. I fact i remember having to do the same when Google now came out.

[Q] "ok google" voice activation doesn't work (nor does OpenMic+!)

Hi xda! (been awhile since I last was here...)
I seem to have a problem with my Ultra (C6833), Android version 4.4.4 (official), not rooted, just plain stock Nordic rom via OTA. But using Google Now Launcher.
I can't seem to make "ok google" work with voice only. The settings -> input -> voice search -> "ok Google" detection -> From any screen -page doesn't register my voice *at all*, nothing happens on that screen. Also on any launcher screen or Google Now, saying "ok google" doesn't have any effects what so ever. When I manually click on the mic icon on any of these pages, Google now works perfectly and most of the time I don't have any trouble it understanding me (not native English speaker).
I tried installing OpenMic+ and tried that, but almost the same happens with that. It works when the actual OpenMic+ program is open, but NOT when it is in the background.
The same settings DO work on my Note 8.0 just fine, and the mic works on the Xperia when making calls (or after clicking the mic icon, voice search works fine). So what gives?
if you still need help with this first make sure your play services google (search or now whichever u decide to call it)play store an gmail are up-to-date last two may not be necessary not i an others have had issues when not once thats done clear cache an data in apps section under settings for Google an play services
Oh, thanks and yeah, haven't gotten it to work. I forgot to clear the caches, silly me. I did check that everything is up to date. I'll try clearing caches.
Ok everything is up to date and clearing the cache still doesn't do it this should be magic goto Google now go to settings go go to voice go to offline speech recognition set auto update to always over data or WiFi go and download UK English language for offline once it's done go back to the installed tab press and hold English UK the selected close Google now open it back go back in that same section and press and hold English us language to select it now try your okay Google

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------
yes i know but the switch to uk an then switching back is what works
EDIT: SOLUTION FOUND! SEE BELOW
I'm having the exact same problem with my Xperia Z2.
Any further advice would be amazing. I'm running Android 4.4.4 and read that some apps can interfere with 'ok google', but I can't track down this problem.
Changing languages doesn't seem to help (I tried Australian in the past). Can someone confirm the above worked? I'm running on limited data plan here and would like to avoid recklessly using it up ;(
EDIT: After browsing for a few hours a few days ago looking for a solution, just after writing this post, THAT article showed up. And 'ok google' works now!
http://ausdroid.net/2014/05/08/fix-google-now-voice-commands/
It was LastPass accessibility service running in background! After turning it off, 'ok google' works now
For the record, to this day I haven't been able to make it work on my Xperia. It works perfectly on my Galaxy Note 8.0 and my HTC One M7, but for the life of me, I have not been able to get it to work on this Sony device. It keeps working the same as always - works perfectly with manual activation, but I cannot get the "Ok Google Detection" to do ANYTHING. (the page where it asks you to say "ok google" three times to "learn" your voice). It just does nothing, it does not register my voice at all on that page.
So glad found this post!
dark_skeleton, you are my HERO!
I couldn't find a solution for this problem for around 4 month!
I was already thinking that there is a hardware problem in my phone,
and just for the chance of succession checked Google again, and SO GLAD I DID!
I used 'OK Google' detection on a daily basis!
In my case, the problem was the application "Informer for SmartWatch".
It was using an accessibility service and blocked the voice recognition.
AnttiV, try going to the accessibility menu and check what services there are external (not pre-installed by Sony).
Seems like it really helps!
Thanks again dark_sekeleton!!
Another app, which is making problems with "Ok Google" is Smart Extension - Hangouts.

Yeah, it was that for me. I've been testing a week or so now without it and everything seems to be working fine. Sadly there's now no way to have hangouts on my SW2, which sucks. But the extension doesn't work with Lollipop anyway, so...
Time to upgrade to Android Wear / Apple Watch?

Sharp Aquos S2 Widget not work

I bought Sharp Aquos S2 from TWN, evething works fine with original play store except Sharp widget does not work (System UI no permission). Don't know how to set permission system UI?
PS: reset several times but does not work.
Please help.
Thank you
Kinda off-topic but how did You get google play store to work on Aquos S2?
I can't install it at all. Did You have it preinstalled on your phone?
I bought from Taiwan, it has google play store original but the problem is the phone widget is N/A.

Lucky You with play store preinstalled. I'd suggest you to simple get rid off original widget and install any other widget from google play store. The original one is not working for me either (N/A). I'm gonna keep fighting with mine. Does anyone know how to enter recovery mode on S2? I was able to boot in safe mode (power + volume down) but idk what's the combination for recovery. Maybe under recovery mode I'll be able to install all those google services. I was also unable to root this device.
If anyone got some info how to install google services on this I'd appreciate it!
Cheers,
Hi, first lucky owners of this brand new phone; could you share any benchmarks, please?

You must install Google Play Services in order to have Google Play Store and other Google apps. Both apps can be found here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/.

This is exacly what I did. I've checked dpi, android version, cpu architecture. I've installed services, framework, account, play store in order. Still no luck. I've also installed google installer which is downloading all neccesary services automaticaly and... same story. Everything installs without any problem but it freezes when I want to open any google app.
Have You installed gaaps on Sharp S2 without those apps being preinstalled?
Actually, I haven't. I had Gapps preinstalled this time. But I had some Chinese phones before and not all of them came with Gapps. I never had problem with installing them.
S2 has plenty options to set rights and restrictions per app. They are in 3 sectors - under SIM settings (about use of networks), apps settings and S boost. I couldn't get internet radio working before I assign necessary rights to it. Have you checked that you gave all gapps needed rights?
Hm.. Maybe I've found the problem. Under SIM and S-boost everything looks good. In apps settings I'm unable to give "get location" for Google Services. I can see it needs "access precise location" to work. Can You tell me whether You have "get location" set for google services on your phone?
I gave GPS all possible permissions. Always.
Well, I can't. The phone is crashing when I want to swipe "location: ON" in google services. It freezes, going black-screen and then going back to settings. It's exacly the same when I want to allow Google Services Framework to read/write instant messages (as far as I can see online those two are by default OFF anyway). All the other permissions for all google apps are ON. Also, most of the other apps with location needed are crashing when I have gaaps installed. Idk why I cant give it all permissions, didn't find any similar problem online.

Then, it seems that the problem is serious. When I bought the phone I noticed that the system has flaws, so first thing I did was factory reset. Even after that I still have two errors, fingerprint scanner is slow and sometimes after unlocking the screen just turns blank and after using power button it turns out that phone is unlocked already. And after every resetting the phone Android Pay simply disappeared and has to be enabled in Google Play again. I've gotten one OTA already and nothing regarding both issues has been changed.
I guess you have 3 options: factory reset and set all bunch of Gapps again, returning the phone or waiting for next OTA. It is obvious that the problem is on the sw side and it is in proprietary Smile UI system precisely.
Hopefully they gonna sort it out soon.
Yeah, exacly. I've already done factory reset multiple times. I'm installing proper version of google service and I can't give it location permisions. I'm almost sure I'm doing everything right.
Gonna wait for OTA, I'll use it without play store atm.
I have no problems at all with fingerprint sensor and unlocking. I think we might have slightly different softwares. Can You tell me whats your ROM version? Mine is 00CN_1_27L with android patched September 1, 2017. Kernel Version 4.4.21

Mine is 00WW_1_27L and that is the difference. WW stays for worldwide and CN for china (kernels are the same). And WW has Gapps installed. But it has other issues caused by incorrect android system modification (smile UI).
Result of that erroneous system is obviously in Gapps failure. My previous phone was Chinese (there was ww version as well), without Gapps, but system was good and I had no troubles installing Gapps.
I understand - thanks for information. I guess I'll have to wait for root manual and flash rom to WW in future.
You don't need root, just OTA or factory image. If I were you, I'd ask both the seller and Sharp for it Describing troubles and they might hear you.
Sharp didn't even reply. Seller said that I bough device with CN rom and it is as it is. They are both kinda right. How can I OTA with region change? I dont think I can use factory image as my image is CN atm. WW images are not available online.
It's the same kernel, exactly the same hw, there is no difference, only the system. You can flash either ww ota or factory image. Another problem is to get any if supplier doesn't cooperate.

Are you able to get Google Assistant to launch with a locked screen?

Hola
I have the Canadian variant LYA-L0C. I only very recently got the 9.0.0.146 update. Even before the .146 I am unable to get Google Assistant to launch from a locked screen. If I am on the phone, and it is unlocked and I call on Google it works without issue.
1. Yes, I have enabled Unlock with Voice Match in the Voice Match settings of Google Settings.
2. Yes, I have already tried uninstalling any updates to the Google app, but it still doesn't work.
3. Yes, I have already tried using the beta release of the Google app, but it still doesn't work.
4. Yes, I have already cleared the cache and storage for the Google app and reconfigured it, but it still doesn't work.
5. On our device variant there is no ability to select US English as the default phone language, this selection simply does not exist. This was at one time or another a key setting that you had to use to get Google Now / Assistant to work properly.
Am I the only one with the issue? Any advice?
I can bring up assistant when my screen is off, but it won't unlock the phone, I still have to unlock. But assistant work's.
To get assistant to work correctly I did the following
Disable assistant
Enable assistant
Update from playstore
Reboot
Retrain and set up assistant.

I have the same Canadian variant and I am not able to get Google Assistant working properly as well when the phone is locked. I will try what Darkat70 suggested and see if it works.
Additionally, I don't think the Google assistant is integrated with the system? I said "set my alarm for 6 AM" but just ended up with a google search. Same with weather, navigation, or other simple functions.
Even on the Pixel 3 now, the assistant won't unlock the phone. So it's very limited as to what it will do while locked.
it works for me and unlocks the phone if it recognize my voice.

Me too
In my case it doesn't work because I have work email added in Gmail and the admin didn't allow the security option to unlock with voice. Check in your Google account settings under Voice -> Voice match T its allowed there or not as per the attached screenshot
Just a heads up but it was announced by Google that the Voice Match Unlock was being removed as it was deemed insecure. It's quite normal for it not to be working. This started with moving from Android Nougat to OREA and now PIE with Assistant 8.39 and above. It's not only affecting this device, but this will also be the reality for all newer devices using Android.
https://9to5google.com/2018/10/26/google-killing-android-voice-unlock/
Mine works, but only after I went through about 50 cycles of disabling/enabling/training/uninstalling/installing every part of the Google infrastructure. Oh, and that includes wiping caches, manual installs of .apk's, etc, etc, etc. During all of that things would work a little different every time. It is obviously a bug of the OS combined with a bug in the Google Assistant crap.
I have had the same issue since m20p was launched. Solved it rather easily after some research. As USA and UK have strict rules on cell phone usage while driving, us and UK English cannot unlock phone. I switched over English Hong Kong as primary language and GA voice unlock has gotten back to how it is supposed to. I hope this helps

Question My "Assistant voice typing" and "Auto punctuation" are greyed out on my Pixel 6 in Gboard settings

Hi all:
I'm trying to get Assistant voice typing and Auto punctuation to work on my new Pixel 6. Both options are greyed out in Gboard settings right now. Is anyone else seeing this behavior, or is it working correctly for you?
did you train voice assistant to recognise your voice?

I got the exact same problem where on my son's phone this works
Update, got it enabled now and it works with multiple languages. Since I'm from Germany I have German and English enabled. I don't know what exactly was the trigger, but I played around with language, language settings and offline languages, re-configured everything, re-downloaded languages and so on in assistant settings. The problem must be somewhere there. Maybe someone finds the exact spot
I really want someone to get back to me, as I have the same issue with my phone. I will try the google assistant training first
originali said:

Yes, the voice is already trained.
I'm having the same issue. Out of curiosity, for anybody having the problem, do you have a work profile set up on your phone? I know that with my Pixel 4, some of the new Google Assistant settings were unusable when I added my work account because my employer didn't have some setting enabled in Google Workspace.
I'm wondering if this is related to the same thing. I haven't gotten around to removing that account to see if that clears up the issue yet. I can report when I have time to try that.
Edit: That does appear to the culprit for me. As soon as I deleted my work account, I was able to activate that setting.
So far after re-adding my account, it's stayed enabled, but we'll see... If this is the culprit, I believe it's likely related to this:
Turn Search and Assistant on or off for users - Google Workspace Admin Help
Google Assistant is not available for managed Chromebooks. As an administrator, you can control who uses Google Search and Assistant services with their Google Account. Just turn the service on or of
support.google.com
Thank you brc64! I don't have a work profile set up on the phone, but I did have one work Google account and one Google account from a non-profit I volunteer for on here. I removed the non-profit Google account and the options became available. I, too, added the account back, and both Assistant voice typing and Automatic Punctuation are still enabled.
I haven't gotten it to work yet. Figures I'd run into this! Have us English set everywhere only and downloaded us offline English. Hopefully I'll be able to sort it out! Of all the silly things that's not enabled by default when we turn on voice typing... Thanks Google
Update: I think it might actually be server side change or from an app update. I updated all my apps and it started working shortly thereafter.
I tried all the solutions listed but nothing worked. What fixed it for me was to force stop Gboard. Clear cache. Then select uninstall updates. Let's Google play store update it. Then repeat the same with Google app (force stop, clear cache, uninstall updates then update.) Initially had to force stop Gboard again then open and that's it, boom it worked. Hopefully this helps.

Is it working for you in both languages? Because I'm bilingual as well and although I can switch the toggle, the true assistant voice typing is only working in English. When I switch to German, it uses the old voice typing method. You can tell the difference by the icon the little microphone has. The assistant voice typing has the newer logo.
It's something on the server side. I was on the phone with them yesterday for 90 minutes trying to get the problem resolved, then this morning some type of download came through and it was fixed. Fixed. Just be patient and you'll get it resolved. As a matter of fact, I'm using the service right now
I concur with the server side assumption. I finally got it to work, when I revmoved a second language both from Gboard and the assistant. But since I need to be able to switch to English regularly, this was too much of a hassle, so I reactivated the second language. This took me back to the regular voice input and grayed out the option for the assistant for voice typing.
I did not change anything since then, but I just found, that I now could switch on Assitant voice typing again and it works with multiple languages at once. There have been some auto updates over the play store this morning, so this might have to do with this.
Try to update all apps in your Play Store profile. If this does not help, I guess patience is all that can.

In my case I am running German (Germany) and English (US)
I can confirm this is caused by multiple language, and specifically it is in your google voice assitant setting.

Unfortunately I did not. It works fine in English, but no shot getting it to work in German when I have both languages in my assistant, the phone and the Gboard turned on.
Mine just stopped working this week without me doing anything. It's greyed out.
