Long press home button google assistant function - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
i have stock P9 Lite, and the one thing that is driving me crazy is the Home long press button Google assistant pop-up. I Know you can turn off the assistant application by switching it to "none" under help and phone input in the phone settings, i did that, the fucntion got disabled successfully, but after couple of hours ( usually during the night ) it magically comes back to be turned on again....
Should i disable somewhere something more also?
Thanks

Personally i am using Swipeup Utility (sorry no link new user can't link) . You can set it at the long press handler and then you set it to do no action (or select one of custom actions)

https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...ndroid-device-switch-back-google-now-0174676/ try this if can help you

You have to set the custom action "Google Now On Tap" to long press home button, it will open google assistant because now on tap was replaced by assistant.

[Q] Home button doesn't run launcher any more :/

Hi all,
My phone rebooted and I lost all custom settings (like text size, custom ringtone etc.), while retaining other apps data. This was simple to repair
Problem is, since then my "Home" button doesn't execute launcher anymore. If I long-press, it shows tasks list, so the button is working, but short press does.. nothing.
I installed Home2 Shortcut - doesn't work either.
Cleared TouchWiz settings - no change
Cleared "Application preferences" - no change
Installed Nova Launcher - works fine, but won't return to home screen on "Home" press.
I guess some simple setting got corrupted, but I've no idea where to look for that. I'd rather not reflash the phone just because of this one button, but it's quite nice to be able to go to Home screen
Any advice?
Try this:
1. Long-press home button and select the "cheese"
2. Go to the last tab called "Clear default Settings"
3. You will have there something called: TouchWiz Home. Clear it.
4. Go back to the start screen and long-press home button again.

Thanks for suggestion, but I already tried that. Home button still doesn't react to short press.
Actually, it does react to short press - when I want to wake up the phone. But it doesn't run launcher.
I have exactly the same problem. Button physically works fine will click to show lock screen when off , double press for s voice ( when on ) and hold for task manager. it just wont single press to actually go home..grrrrrrrr

ok solution for me was a full master reset via recovery. All good now.

Yeah, I figure a reset/reflash will do, but it's another couple hours (which I don't have ) to restore everything after that
I got the same problem
I was planning to upgrade firmware anyway though

Dictation swiftkey and home button

hello to you ALL
i am coming from note 3.
in note 3 with swiftkey when i dictate text it was writing while i was speaking. in note 4 appears the text at the end of the speech.
can i go back to the other way?
i remember that in note 3 i havve had to disable one app to let me remain in the way it writes while i was speaking but i cannot remember what it was.
then, is there a way to use nova to modify the function of home button center? i try to set it on menu but it always open browser or google voice or dolphin (if you have installed it)
thanks!!!

hi
what i understand from your second question is that you want to "change /modify " home button functions with Nova launcher ?
If so ,yes, you can change /configure home button .to open basic any Nova/app /shortcut function... etc ..
Nova /Gestures and Buttons /longpress top option ( home icon ) and choose ( ? ) etc ..
hope this is what you looking for ?
Good luck

easy way to do print screen and disable "place finger to unlock" stage

I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
another thing is double tapping and going in through the draw password.
when double tap the screen it doesnt give you the option to draw the password. I have to swipe first then I can draw the password which is a pita. any way to enable a double tap to go straight to draw password option? why dont this people test these things?
how the hell do I disable google assistant crap "ok google" ?
1. easiest to do the screenshot with the VOL- button just before power.
2. No.
3. not sure as i like assisstant.
@rocketman1 I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
This one can be easier, you can use the quick memo ( Aka Capture + Plus )options and it will take screenshots for you, as i believe holding Vol down will do the quick memo screen shot if its on in the settings under ( Shortcut Keys)

This is to keep your code from accidentally being put in during pocked use if it turns on. I dont believe it can be shut off without some bigger edits to systemui

disable the google app from your app settings.

Or just disable the Google Assistant, if you prefer:
Here's how to disable Google Assistant:
1. Open Google app
2. Tap on Menu (three lines) on top left
3. Tap Settings
4. Under Google Assistant, tap Settings
5. Scroll halfway down the menu, and voila! A toggle to turn the Assistant off.
2. Funny, coming from the G3 I had similar questions. Not sure I need to swipe before entering knock code. Worked fine without on the G3. At least you can knock directly with the screen off, bypassing this, but sometimes I turn on my screen to see the notifications and the extra swipe is an annoyance.
3. Unfortunately if you disable it in the settings, then you lose the "Ok Google" from Google Now. Instead it just prompts you to turn Google Assistant back on. Similarly, if you turn on Google Assistant but don't give it Web & App Activity + Device Information data (which is every app switch you do, every movement of your phone or touch of the screen), then it takes your question but then just *****es at you.
Only workaround I've found for now (probably won't last forever) is to set your keyboard language to English US Virgin Islands, a region where Google Assistant is not yet supported. You might need the root app Language Enabler or some other method to enable that language. Hopefully someone finds a better resolution.

I think maybe you're long pressing the home button? Just tap home, see if that helps..
Na I was tapping once, one tap or long press was bringing it up, but I found a solution, had to uninstall the updates for the Google app and the reupdate it

T-Mobile version of 6t missing features?

I recently bought the T-Mobile variant of the OnePlus 6t and I was watching a video about some features that could be turned on and one of the features they were talking about was a long press the power button to activate Google Assistant when I go into settings and go to the button and gestures tab there is no option to turn on the long press for Google Assistant the only option there is a double tap for camera.? Is this something that was removed from the T-Mobile version only and if so does anyone know a way to get that feature back or even an app to add the feature?
I was wondering about this also.

Supposedly it's coming in an update.
Already well covered here. It's not there yet. Some say it will supposedly come with one of the updates. I haven't seen anything officially stating that. So take it for what it's worth. There are plenty of ways to launch it though, gestures, long press the home button if you have one, or just set up "Hey Google".

Not on the T-Mobile version.
It only has options for long press/double press of home, recent, back buttons. Not for power button.
Which means if you do the guestures only navbar option, there's no button press for assistant.
Unless you install the app and just put a shortcut on the home screen.

Sorry I missed long press power, had home on my brain
But long press home brings up Google Search Assistant - same as if you said "OK Google"
That's the default that I see and get from following PapaMag's suggestion - granted its not the power button but if you are looking for search Google search assistant - its there

Well the whole reason you would use the power button is if you used only gestures and had no nav bar.
It is also missing a huge feature called quick launch. It for whatever reason is missing from the T-Mobile variant and without going through the troubles of flashing to stock can anyone help or find a solution as to how to reenable it?
