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.

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.

On my NST Glowlight, I have a case that is beautiful but unfortunately covers the back power button (Verso Prologue Antique Tan, currently a steal on Amazon at $10). When I close the cover, it bumps things on the screen and either opens random books (in ReLaunch) or loses my place (in Coolreader). Does anyone know of a simple app that triggers the screen lock so I can map it to a hardware button? I set a "Lock Screen" shortcut in ReLaunch but at least half the time it doesn't work (instead, it asks if I want to power off). Thoughts?
Install Button Savior and tap its on-screen power button.

IMO Button Savior is an eyesore and I can already duplicate all of its functions with hardware button mappings. I want to be able to map power to a hardware button, which I know I can do if I have an app shortcut of some sort.
OK, I found my own solution and it works well enough that I thought I'd share.
I found a whole bunch of screen lock apps but they all require Android 2.2 or later.
Thinking outside the box, I instead downloaded a simple app called "White Screen Flashlight" and mapped it to my n button. Now if I push n the screen goes completely blank and doesn't register touch input, so it's safe. I have the added benefit that if anyone swipes my Nook and wants to see what I am reading, they get a boring empty screen when they turn it on. Sleep mode kicks in as normal.
Alternatively, use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848962 to set a Lock PIN. I combine this with a Tasker rule that disables the PIN if I'm connected to a 'friendly' WiFi network (i.e. my home WLAN) and re-enables it when I disconnect.

That is a great idea! I previously set a lock on my Nook ST (pre-Glowlight), but this time I'm simply keeping it disconnected from Google and any sensitive information. There's a bar on the screensaver that gives "please return to..." information. I figure if someone steals it, they won't get access to anything but some books, and if it's lost, a kindly soul may return it.
I've been looking around for options to avoid using the physical power button to turn my N6 on or off. The double-tap-to-wake functionality has been documented elsewhere (here, for instance), though I've found it harder to implement a gesture to turn off the screen. I finally happened upon using the "input keyevent" shell command. This is different (in a better way) from using a Device Administrator app that locks your screen; the input keyevent command exactly duplicates the power button behavior and so will obey your settings for when to actually lock the phone (as opposed to just turning the screen off). If you have root and Tasker, it turns out that all of this is easy to do; both the double-tap-to-wake and gesture-to-sleep actions don't require stand-alone apps to implement.
Requirements:
Root access
Tasker
A custom launcher (like Nova) that allows you to implement gesture shortcuts
For double-tap-to-wake, create a Tasker task (I call it "DTTW") that has one step: Run Shell (under "Code"), where the Command is echo 'AUTO' > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-004a/tsp Check the "Use Root" option.
For gesture-to-sleep, create a Tasker task (I call it "Turn Off") that has one step: Run Shell (again, under "Code"), where the Command is input keyevent 26 Again, check the "Use Root" option. You may have to choose an icon to link the task to a launcher gesture.
Now, to implement double-tap-to-wake, run the DTTW task, and you're done. It will reset (i.e., double-tap-to-wake will no longer work) when you reboot, so you can set a profile to have Tasker run the DTTW task on Device Boot (this is an Event, under "System").
To implement gesture-to-sleep, use your launcher to choose a gesture that launches the Turn Off task. Using the Nova launcher, I started Nova Settings --> Gestures and Buttons --> Swipe up Two fingers (the gesture I chose) --> Shortcuts --> Task Shortcut --> choose the Turn Off task. Now, whenever I swipe up with two fingers on my home screen, the screen goes off.
Done! Easy! Free!

But I believe that locks your phone. I just want to turn off the screen, as if I'm pressing the power button.

no. it just turns your screen off, just like pressing the power button. if you have a password set, itll lock the device, just like using the power button.

Are you sure? If I have a PIN set, with my phone set to lock 10 minutes after screen off, you're saying that the lock screen widget will turn off my phone but not lock it (for 10 minutes)? I think it locks it immediately.

itll behave the same way as pressing the power button to turn off the screen.
yup, I use it and it is the same thing as turning your phone off with the power button.

Well, I have nothing against Lock Screen Widget, but when I installed it and used it, it immediately made me enter a PIN to unlock my phone, even though this wouldn't happen for 10 minutes after pressing the power button.
Just wanted to say thank you for this. I have a smart watch and use that smart lock feature where if my watch is connected my screen won't lock.
All the lock screen apps in the play store lock my screen regardless if my watch is connect. But your method with tasker works perfectly thank you so much.

without losing other home button functionality such as double tap to launch camera and the triple tap ability?
Currently it does Now On Tap and you have to say the launch phrase to do a voice search but I'd like if it just went straight to voice search. I'm able to do that but I haven't found an app that can do that and still keep the camera quick launch ability.
Triple tap?

You can set triple tap to make it so that the screen shrinks down for easier 1 handed use, I didn't specify though since I couldn't remember what it's called.
@ohmimpotence , did you find a way to set long press to Voice Search? On my old S4 double tap launched voice search, with help of app called Home2Shortcut, I was able to switch it from s-voice to google. I assumed they made it long press on S7 since double press is camera, and there is button for app switcher. I would really like to get to Google voice search by long home press, straight from sleep mode. It is very handy while driving.
May this helps -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/voicesearch-tap-t3556995
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.
Disable google app
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?
