Ok google - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Is Google assistant working for you guys? I mean waking it up by saying Ok Google...
I have the latest OTA and latest version of the Google app, and it says that the language is not supported, but I am using English (Us) ...
Any fix?

Probably a bug... you can try to clear the cache of Google app, and if not enough clear all data from Google app (but then you might have to redo some settings).

Same for me here in Italy, with italian language.
Ok Google stopped working 2 days ago.
I've tried every known solutions but nothing works.
Ps I'm on Pie stock.

Just Clear All Data

Now it works again!
It simply started to work again by itself...
Probably Google did something on the server side!

Yup, it started to work again by itself :good:
Edit: voice unlock is now removed. So this was because Google was removing voice unlock

Google now reminders down?

Is this down for anyone else? Generic ones work. Remind me to watch TV works. Remind me to watch TV @ 10:00 doesn't.
Thanks

There is a problem, I cannot connect to Google Now. Also Google Services has been burning up my battery all day.

Google search was just updated today..
Could be a bug.
I disabled Google Now a while ago, and wanted to try it again. Disabled, uninstalled and installed again Search, but now it says Google Now is not available and it doesn't show in Search Settings.
Weird. Is it on my end or something's up with Google?

I had turned off Google Now yesterday due to it keeping my phone from sleeping since it could not connect because of server problems. I cleared the data/cache and launched again now all seems to be fine.

Do you have it as an option in Google Search > Settings? I only have Voice, Phone Search and Privacy & Accounts. Did the same steps as you, but nothing yet. Thought I'd give it some time to sync something...
Found this on a Google support forum, and maybe it really is Google's issue.

I'm not from the US btw, but from Macedonia, SE Europe.

First, I froze Google Search in Titanium Backup then when I unfroze it I cleared data.cache and relaunched this morning. For me Google Now is part of Google Search not sure that it would be any different for you being in Europe.

Some friends have Google Now working, and they are all completely stock. I have CWM and fk installed. Waiting for 4.4 to come out soon, when I'll do full wipe and install via fastboot and see if it starts working when stock.
Thanks for the info and help though. Cheers!

A2017G 7.1.1 Google assistant?

Is it possible to get Google assistant on this ROM?
Sent from my ZTE A2017G using Tapatalk
Enter beta Verdion from Google app and Google play services, wait a while and update these apps than change your System language to english us and go to homescreen, you normally should have the assistant now, change language back
Even easier, just change the language to English US and reboot

I tried that but didn't work for me with my A2017G 7.1.1.
The only thing that I noticed is that the navigation in Google Maps started speaking funny... switching back...

It didn't work? You only have to hold home and the dialog should appear

No, I tried, but holding home just brought up the "good old" google app.
Weird... I dunno. I did like 4 clean installs and so far it worked every time i held home...
No idea. maybe you could try getting the app, dunno
Google had announced this in march it was to be activated first in the US and then followed by the UK and several other countries.
Maybe it'll be 2018 for us.

Well I doubt it detects the country you're in. I'm in Argentina. Last place where you'd think that they would allow assistant. And I have assistant simply by using English US

Did you remember to also wipe data for Google app and Google play services? That should do the trick

No, I didn't wipe the data indeed... I'll try that later, thank you.
It doesn't work on the Chinese A2017. Assistant is installed in the Google app but it's still Google home when the ask Google. I think it's because the home button (my voice) only operates when the system language is Chinese. Unless someone writes a piece of code to fix this then it looks like I'm stuffed.

Google Assistant?

Has anyone managed to get Assistant to work? I'm in the UK. I read on one of the OnePlus community forums that you need to change device language to English (USA), which I've done. Still no Assisstant. Anyone managed to get it to work/have any ideas?
It is only google now, not google assistant
I needed to clear all data after changing language to English (USA). But I've got it working now.
Here's YouTube video showing steps to setup Google Assistant on OP5. https://youtu.be/-bE8ORPID3U

After you got it working, did you have any issues in retraining your voice. I have a problem where it appears to be listening for me to say Ok Google 3 times but never recognises anything.?

i changed to English US, got google assistant started up, then changed the language back to English UK.
google does have issues properly understanding you with the wrong accent from my experience.
I am pretty sure I have google assistant

I got Google Assistant working by following the instructions from the YouTube video in this thread's post #4. All was fine for a while and then GA no longer worked sometime after I applied one of the OTA's. I can't say that was the cause but the timing was coincidental. GA seemed to react but not fully engage. I tried a lot of things including re-training the "OK Google" but nothing worked.
Finally I followed the part of post #4's cache clearing of Google and Google services apps cache (remember there is more than one cache) and then went through the Google Assistant set up as if it had never been working. That fixed my issues and has been working ever since. I'll see if the same problems arise after the next OTA. So I'd trying clearing the cache of those two apps EXACTLY as shown in the video.
Edit: I've applied OTA for v4.5.5 and have not had any Google Assistant issue

You have to clear the data cache for play services as well.
For those that got Google Assistant working are you having any issues such as those described below?
Trusted voice which enables Google Assistant from the lock screen does not work despite the proper settings in place
Creating a Google Assistant shortcut not works
IFTTT doesn't seem to work as advertised (I'm still working on this one)
I've had no end of small issues trying to customize Google Assistant but the main built in functions (e.g. weather, search, Spotify commands, open app) work perfectly.
Just curious about other people's experience. It leaves me feeling Google Assistant is just a beta program/work-in-progress on a phone or a tease to get you to buy a Google Home despite always having a much more capable device in the palm of your hand (your phone). I don't want an ugly Google Home "air freshener" when I already have an Android SD835/8GB phone.
When you say Google Assistant... Do you mean ok Google from screen off?

Google Assistant works with the screen off as long as the OP5 is NOT locked. Working while locked is supposed to work only when Trusted Voice is turned on. Unfortunately I have turned on trusted voice but Google Assistant will not initiate (work) when the OP5 is locked.
OK Google has a different interactive screen than Google Assistant. The OP5 OOS comes with OK Google but you need to manually activate Google Assistant before experiencing its advanced AI features. You would also see new Google Assistant specific settings at the top of the Google app->Settings->Google Assistant->(Settings, What can you do?).
One of the early posts in this thread has the link to manually activate Google Assistant.
Yeah, I have Google Assistant but I am pretty let down by the fact it doesn't work with the screen off and locked. I have heard it's a license that has to be paid to googs
Mine worked with no fuss. What doesn't work is the trusted voice and waking the phone up when the screen is off. That one I can't figure out

I've found a hacky workaround for this issue by using a combination of apps. First off I only use this method when I'm connected to the charger which is no different than the Trusted Voice limitations. Second my lock screen is only enabled when I'm not on a charger.
Use the Caffeine app to block the automatic lock screen. Check settings "Autoactive on USB", "Autoactive on USB type/AC charger", "Enable caffeine at boot".
Buy and install the app Screen Off (No Lock). I couldn't find a free app that turned off the screen but did not also lock it.
Then use the Google Assistant command "OK Google open screen off" to invoke turning the screen off but still having Google Assistant listening for my next command. I also use Tasker and it's Voice Assist plugin connection to Google Assistant so added the "start Screen off" as the last task in my Voice Assist profiles.

For the most part Google Assistant works for me but important features either lack reliability or don't work at all.
Google Assistant macros don't work at all despite built in GA commands working (e.g. play on Spotify)
I can't seem to make a IFTTT connection work
The connection between GA and Tasker's VoiceAssist is unreliable. Too often GA intercepts a regular Tasker Event phrase and displays a google search screen but the Tasker event for the phrase does not trigger. This despite the Tasker VoiceAssist toast displaying the correct event phrase. I'll try it a second time and this time it'll work despite GA recognizing the exact same phrase (not a variation).
I've been able to create some cool home theater (Harmony Hub) automation profiles but the unreliability has me wondering if I'm wasting my time. I really like the whole Google Assistant and the Tasker extension but am not prepared to continue developing things unless I can increase the overall stability.
It may just be my OP5 which is running OOS 4.5.5, rooted with SuperSU with Viper4Android installed. Other than that I've not altered the stock OOS experience. I've not even removed any bloat ware.
Does anyone have the Google Assistant macros and/or IFTTT working on their OnePlus 5?
I've previously posted that Google Assistant's macros didn't work for me but I received an update to the Google app v7.7.14.21.arm64 (Beta) and Google Assistant's macros are suddenly working. Even macros I'd previous entered but had never worked. I also added new ones and they also worked.
What stopped working was Tasker receiving the OK Google spoken commands, (no VoiceAssist toasts). I need to explore further as the newly functioning macros may be a far better way to integrate with Tasker. I'll likely retry the recommended Google Assistant/IFTTT/Tasker integration which also didn't work prior to this latest update.
It's working perfectly
Just did as it was said on the video. Everything works perfectly, including the "OK Google" detection while the screen is off. No problems whatsoever.
To Note: Even i changed the language back to English(UK) after all was setup, and works like a charm. :good:

Now unable to use "Ok Google"

For a while now the hotword has not worked on my device. When I looked in settings just earlier, they're now completely greyed out!
Anyone else experiencing the same issue?!
Tried changing the language to English (US) instead of (UK). No difference.
PS: I'm using a substratum theme, that's why my Google app is black.

Have you disabled some speech app, if you disable the motor syntethiser of google it won't work well. I had this issue and reenabling/reinstalling the app solved the problem.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I found that I had to uninstall all updates to the Google app, then it started working flawlessly.
It's very weird that you have to decide whether you want the latest Google app, or its main feature to work.
A number of people also reported this issue. I'll update again once it gets fixed.
Edit: the app updated again automatically, and I realised I could set up the voice model again and it's now working on the latest version!
