Google assistant shortcut - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Hi on my op6 I could.hold power button for .5 seconds to get assistant to launch. That option seems to be missing on my op6. Is it just not enabled on the T-Mobile variant ?

T-Mobile needs to update their software to the latest from OnePlus.

You could always set one of the gestures to assistant. I can't take credit for that idea.

On mine, it's hold the home button. That launches Google Assistant.

Is it possible to assign hardware button to camera ?

Is it possible to press hardware button like volume up or volume down to launch camera when phone is not ON ?
I could not find a way to assign key to camera.
Nope. Just the shortcut on the lock screen.

You can set the fingerprint reader to take a picture when holding it while in the camera app.

If you use nova launcher, you can setup a "double tap" of the home button to open the camera .
I hope that they add this to the next release of the software. I think that double-clicking the power button to launch the camera is a default function in Marshmallow and I am not sure why they disabled it.
If I tap twice on the power button when screen is off, it launches the camera. EU version on B05 (worked on B03 too I think).
Are you rooted?
No, as stock as it can be.

This sounds perfect and I wish I could do this on an A2017U running B27.

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

S voice is dead starting from the galaxy s8. It is (or will be in the very near future) replaced by Bixby that has its own button below the volume keys and doesn't need to use the home button at all.

Once I have the google bar in desktop I see no usage for long press in home button for same function so in my S7 Edge I had S Voice to pull contacts for example.
Never tried Bixby as it's not available in my language.

I get what you're saying. But it is what it is.
As a side note, the home button no longer brings up Google now cards or search, like the search bar on the home screen. Now it's set to call up Google assistant, for what it's worth. I personally use its voice feature only for alarms, reminders and fact searches.

Just downloaded bixby. Should be out for everyone today. See if it scratches your itch. [emoji4]

Bixby is not available in many languages now but out and available to every one, so I think svoice has made its time now it will be more useless as it was until now. Bixby seems very promising and much more complete and advanced as every other voice assistants I think

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?

Double tap Power button change

Afternoon all.
Can you change what app the double tap power button opens up?
I get the option on Snapchat or Camera. When I'm out on my motorcycle I cant unlock with fingerprint so have to double tap the power button but then it tries to open SC/Camera. OR can I just turn off any app & just have it unlock the screen?
Thanks

Try button mapper app, by xda dev on play store, I've not used it in ages but you should be able to map a button or a peripheral button to do that, though probably not power button ... I think.

That app can't program the power button. Best work around I've found is using a program called "powy", and then assigning a tasker task to a button single/double/triple/etc tap.
