google assistant & identifying products using camera - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Using Google now on tap, i was able to identify the products such as movies, gadgets and etc by opening the camera app and holding the home button
But with the google assistant it doesn't.. Anyone can use it!

Hey so I just tried and actually it does work. Just aim the camera at something (I used the game case for Mass Effect: Andromeda) and activate Google Assistant. On the bottom you'll see a little floating card. Pull it up and it should show you info about what's on screen. Like I said it recognized Mass Effect & also Destiny.

You just aim the camera at something and press and hold the home button to trigger assistant. Then on the very bottom of the assistant screen you'll see a little card bobbing up and down. Pull the card up with your finger and it'll show any relevant information about what's on the screen.
Actually I just noticed that you don't even need to pull it up yourself. You open the camera and trigger assistant with whatever you want in the viewfinder. The card bobs up and down for a couple of seconds before automatically expanding itself to reveal the information.

It worked for me with assistant after I granted camera permission to the Google app.
Edit: use screen context should be activated in the assistant options

Yeah the 2nd one should do it. Camera permissions wouldn't have anything to do with it. My Google app does not have camera permissions.

[Q] Set custom activation method for omniswitch

How do I set a different activation method besides using the default drag handle. Cant seem to set a hardware key to do to as there is no option for it, only to open the app itself, not the switcher.

Install app (be sure, that app installed to /system/priv-app, it`s Important !!! Maybe reboot needed.)
Ok, OmniSwith drawer appears when you press key assigned as "Last App list" (sorry for my inaccurate translate)
Eg long press HOME button.
And next step, I turn OFF "DRAG HANDLE" in OmniSwith settings (to facilitate interface)

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, it still does not work. If I try to double click Home button I still get Recent Apps List. I also tried all the Nova Launcher options for shortcuts as well.
What I was hoping to do was use a Gesture Launcher , like Nova Launcher (or others like LMT) and be bale to use a gesture to open up Omniswitch drawer .....

Just download app in my last post and overlay recent app's button function, if you can do this in your rom(button will call the app).
If not, call app as launcher's gesture or other way that you kwon to call a app.
When you call the app, the omniswicth overlay will open(like swipe blue overlay on right border).
If you can't config this, please pm me.
Please, check if packge of ominiswitch that you use is org.omnirom.ominiswitch. If not, send me via pm the packge name and I compile other app for your packge.
Cheers.

Yes, it is called Fingerprint Quick Action, you may search around here.

Why double tap or any number of taps??
If you tap on your screens, you may have a chance of mistakenly opening an app!
This following solution is more practical:
"Swipe home button" in Play store. An easy and practical way to get to home screen, works well.

How's battery usage? Is it significant?
Also, I'm using the version you posted but it's not working when the screen is off. I'm sure I deactivated all app-killing process. I don't think it's this.

Don't set a home button shortcut in Nova - leave it default. Clear all the data from Google app and the cache from play services, and then reboot. When it boots back up long press the home button and you should have either the assistant or on tap.

Try the Get Assistant app in the play store, or I think there's a Magisk module to enable assistant. I'm out of ideas though lol

Do you access the assistant through a long press on home button. On Chinese axon 7 this is not possible as the language needs to be set as Chinese

There's a adb command to set dpi.. haven't tried this personally on this phone but this should work on any android.
adb shell wm density DPI && adb reboot

If you have twrp, just go to terminal and type "wm density DPI" then reboot.
Now we just change the DPI in the command to our default value. 640 I think, not sure though.
You can change the DPI in settings>display if you're on nougat..
How do you enable the home button to open up Google assistant? Just says it needs Chinese language
I have assistant in Google app. Changed voice button to search but it's still the old Google home voice!!! Why no option to set up the assistant
Do you manage to say "Ok Google" at any time working? Here in my phone this option is greyed and I cannot use it. Google Assistent does appears in Google, Search options in settings, and it seems to be turned on, also Google is selected in Assist & voice input and My Voice is disabled. I cannot whatelse to configure... It seems that My Voice blocks long press home functions for me.

"OK Google" from locked phone no longer working

This seems to have started up recently when the screen is off and I can't quite figure out if its tied to the Google Play Services version or not. I'm on the latest beta of Google / GPS and it doesn't seem to be working on Oreo.
Curious if this has happened to anyone else?
I'm on GPS 11.9.73 and I think it ties more into that

Go to security/smart lock and see if trusted voice is in the menu. There may be an app not playing nice with smart lock. If greenify isn't set up right it can cause this issue.

Annnnd, also out of nowhere, it's working here, too.
Interesting, too, it that the "Settings">"Smart Lock" page is no longer blank:
A lot of the setting don't seem to work for whatever reason. Like limiting background processes just..doesn't.
The only fix there is for this is to turn off smartlock by going to setting, security, and trust agents then turn it off and restart the phone then re enable the smart Lock

"Touch-disable mode" switch disappeared after Oreo update?

Hello!
I'm using the P10 Plus and I'm not able to find the setting for Touch-disable mode anymore. (I'm pretty sure it was there on previous android version)
This "Touch-disable mode" setting seems to be always on, after Oreo update.
It could be cool for everyday use, but it's a BIG problem when I like to put the phone into a plastic case/bike phone holder.
I get the message "do not cover the top of the screen..." and I'm not able to unlock the smartphone from the case.
That's soooooo annoying!!
Does anyone know a workaround for this issue??
Thank you very much!
Am I the only one with this problem?
When you lock your phone you try to cover the top part tgen you'll see on display says disable it pressing power and volume up I think.

Tnx, I know, but when the device is in a motorbike holder ( like my Givi S957B ) it's quite impossible to press power and volume up...
I'm just asking why in oreo firmware the "touch-disable mode" is not available anymore.
For me it's a big issue!

No, same problem comes with the Huawei P20 Pro. Touch-disable mode is enabled, but there is no option to disable it. :crying:
Came on here as had the same problem. I found that if you tap volume up and power button 3 times it disables or enables it. It doesn't work anyway, if you accidentally press the fingerprint scanner in your pocket, it unlocks the phone and you end up changing all your settings and calling a porn line all from your pocket.

In the System Table screen, scroll down to the bottom towards the 'T' section and find "Touch Disable Mode 1". Tap on it and change it to 0 to turn it off and hit save.

The above worked for me about 3 weeks ago on my P20 Pro.
I had an update to the phones os last week, now it's reverted back to not liking the sensor being covered when I have the phone in my running armband.
The "Touch Disable Mode" option has disappeared from the System Table section of Settings Database Editor. Most annoying!
Hey
So I installed the Setting Database Editor app to change the setting and then uninstalled it to see if the change would persist without the app - it did not, so I went and reinstalled the app but also found that the "touch_disable_mode" setting was missing so I added it manaually and its working ...no more annoying message about nonsense.
P.S. Why does this website not work at all with Firefox?(no idea the pain I've been through trying to sign in) - Am I the only one -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/website-firefox-register-login-t3827822
Wow dude you are my lord and savior worked perfectly! That's a shame on Huawei's side, that they have forgotten about this absolutely ridiculous setting.. I use my bike holder, I'm a delivery person and this really annoyed the **** out of me
