Google Assistant on A5 2017 - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D

Hey guys!
I just got Google Assistant on my Galaxy A5 2017 without doing anything here in Germany ☺
My phone is on latest firmware and my Google App is on version 7.6.17.21.arm64
How about you? Do you already have Google Assistant on your Phone?
Have a nice day

All I did was clear my Google Settings cache, applied for the beta program on Google and Google Play Services, and I was accepted and had the Assistant within minutes.

For me I still do not have Google assistant, I'm in France

Same and im in Holland. No assistant

I'm in Canada and I got Google Assistant but I gotta say, I wish I didn't. I can no longer press my home button and have Google Now popup, only Assistant and it's much less useful than Google Now imo. Wish there was a way to go back as I've tried all the ways recommended via a simple Google search. ?

I have Google Assistant after just clearing the cache. Only problem is with "OK GOOGLE" detection, it doesn't work when the screen is off. Does it work for you?

You can also use this method

[MOD][XPOSED] No More Google Play Services (2017/02/08, V1.1)

This module hooks into GMS and always returns SUCCESS for Google Play Services connection, thus some applications will not show the annoying error dialog that asks for it. There is a module which does almost the same thing but this module is more stable as I deal with shrinked classes and hook more reliable methods.
Note that this application cannot replace GMS, so the applications may not work normally because we just do a little trick. Also, some GAPPS use standalone methods which are not standard for detecting GMS, so it is harder to workaround them.
I am a student majoring in finance and I am a beginner at developing applications. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me.

I have debloated so many apps and google apps and that triggered Google Play Services to consume battery (i dnt knw whic one). Around 1 mAh every 2 minutes, and GP services always on the top of my battery drainer (look at battery detail). Every method possible i've tried and none of them work, even after clear data/cache of it and remove my gmail from my phone...seriously every method on the internet i guess .
using this module and turn off background data of GP services, problem solved.
after activating it i will not be able to Gmail or Keep or any Google aplications ???????
if there is an exception plz list it
Not working for me atm... Is Android Nougat supported at all?
My phone:
Moto G (falcon) / LineageOS 14.1 / Xposed v88.1
I'm trying to hide this annoying alert when I open the Twitch app:
https://i.imgur.com/W1Ylq9t.png
Closing the alert does not make the app itself shutdown, and from what I tested, most features (if not all of them) still work perfectly.
Just use mircoG. It's much better!

Works in Oreo
Many thanks for this module. Happy to report that it works in LineageOS 15.1 (oreo)!
Doesn't working on LineageOS 14.1 i am getting won't run without Google Play services, which are not supported by your device error
Hi
Anyone can make a similar app for Android that doesn't require Xposed to block the annoying notifications of 'This app requires Google Play Services to work'?

According to this:
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-assistant-now-available-for-all-android-6-0-devices/
Yes, but not worldwide yet...
I just tried updating my play services from 10.2.98 to the newest non beta on apkmirror which is 10.2.99 but assistant is not enabled. I then tried the latest beta which is 10.5.37 but still no assistant. I just got the Google app update to 6.13.x earlier via play store so I figured all I needed was play services but apparently not unless root is causing an issue.

I'm not rooted and updated play services and the Google app and also still have no assistant. So, apparently it is a server side switch that we all just need to wait for. Of course I still don't have the dual tab google app layout, so I'm not holding my breath.

That dual tab Google app layout is still a thing? I never got it either and just assumed it was pulled. So for assistant, the Google blog says it's a play services update, naturally that means something else like a server side update too. Silly Google, tricks are for kids.
I have a 6P and 5x both on 7.1.2 beta, no Google Assistant. I have a hunch that apart from having to have the new Google Play Services, that individual accounts have to have the switch thrown on it by Google. Like many of Google's software updates this is liable to take weeks for everyone to see.
I have a 6P, 5X and a 5. Yesterday in an effort to solve another problem, I had clean installed factory 6.0, 7.0, 7.1.1 and 7.1.2(beta) with locked bootloaders and completely stock onto my 6P. None of the phones and none of the factory ROMs had Google Assistant enabled even after updating all stock apps. WTF, Google, after your big announcement that it was available? Aside from the one person in this thread, I haven't heard of anyone having this enabled, even read through over 400 comments in Android Police thread.
Still have not received it. Running stock 7.1.1.

It's a server side switch, so we all have to just wait until google flips the switch.
Here's how I did it:
I enrolled with ALL the permissions with the Google (Google Now) app; i.e., News and weather updates.
Then, I downloaded and enrolled with Google Allo. I gave it ALL of the permissions it requested of me. Then I made a few queries with Allo's Google Assistant bot.
It's important that you turn Location and Search histories ON.
I was greeted by Google Assistant shortly thereafter...
Hope this helps!

Official Google Assistant?

I know there are all kinds of mods and stuff for rooted/unlocked phones to get Google Assistant, but the official rollout happened recently to a lot of devices. Was the Z one of them? I updated Play Services and the Google app to the latest release version, and tried being in the beta for both of them, and still don't have the assistant. Has anyone got the assistant working on the Z the official way? I'd rather keep stock for Safety Net reasons.
Check your device, i got up this morning with google assistant on my moto z (verizon)
Nope, I still have Now On Tap. Would you mind looking at what version of Play Services and the Google app you have?
Still waiting on assistant too but I'm UK based here but God I swear I'm addicted to updates

I just tried it again, along with uninstalling all updates and reinstalling them. No such luck. Maybe they're still working on the rollout...

My version is 10.2.98
I did not see any update on the google play services these two days.
But got up with google assistant ready.
So i guess evil google did it by itself.
I did notice a fast battery drain by google services last night.

I have another S7 edge, but has not got any Google assistant.
I guess you need to be patient.
I have owned many nexus devices before, and i did notice there is a delay for devices made at different time.

Hi Google!!
I woke up this morning to my new Assistant! No beta anything, just the latest release version of all the apps.
Did all that and nothing then it showed up a couple of hours later. Guessing it must be related. Thanks for the help.

Just thought I'd let people know that I'm in the UK and got Google Assistant working using the following guide:
http://www.xiaomitoday.com/get-google-assistant-on-marshmallow/
I changed the language back to English (UK) after and all seems to be working fine.
On a side note, you need to disable Moto Voice to allow "OK Google" to work.
HTH

Ok. Just checked again and Google Assistant got disabled. Changed the language to English (US), cleared data and tried again. Seemed to work. Had to do a hybrid language selection with English (US) system language and changed language in input settings to English (UK). It looks like that seems to work.
Just received Google Assistant, pretty useful.

I wonder if Moto plans to issue any kind of update to make Moto Voice work with Google Assistant. If you have Moto Voice enabled, you get the old Google Now but the new Google Assistant doesn't work if the screen is locked.

Issues logging into some Google apps

Hello - I just got the Honor 9, updated and so running Android 8.0.0 and Emui 8.0.0.
I have set up my Google accounts fine - working on email, calendar, play store, drive, assistant etc; but not on Chrome or Google Home. Every time I try and set up the app it clearly looks for an account, then defaults to asking me to log in; when I type in my google email address it comes up with an error saying the account is already set up on my phone so i can't progress beyond that.
I did have to download the apps from play store, rather than them coming as loaded so not sure if that's an issue (but same was true for assistant and that is working fine).
Any suggestions much appreciated!
Thanks
Looks like a bug with the latest Google Play Update. Issues were already opened with the Google ticket system. It seems that only Huawei und Honor devices are affected. Seems to be an issue with the credentials towards the maps FBI period. Google cannot reproduce it at the moment. They are still investigating.

Did not work for me.
I deleted cache and data again. Previously it did not work. Now it is working for me. But did not reboot yet. But that would be my workaround for now. But maybe Google fixed some issues on their API side of things.

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.

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
