Does anyone know if Google is eventually going to enable Google Assistant on this phone (or have it currently working), or doesn't phone meet the minimum device specifications?

I dug out my old Nokia phone today because I am going to lend it to my friend. The Nokia phone was connected to my Nexus One's Wifi hotspot and I installed Google Maps for S60 on this Nokia. I opened Google Maps and my Nokia was able to show my current location accurately using my Nexus One's network, but the current location reported by my Nexus was a few hundred meters off. Why is that? I am 100% sure that GPS in either phones were not on (and I was indoor).
Hi,
I've tried Android Auto (AA) in my car with the following problem:
Installed AA via apkmirror.com (Google does not oficially support AA in Czech Republic yet). I've tried packages for arm and arm64 architecture (same results).
Connected to car via USB.
AA started, displayed on my car's display, working.
Started Waze - my current location correctly set and displayed.
After starting driving my location didn't change at all.
Steps 4 - 5 are the same for Google Maps.
Both Google Maps and Waze are working correctly when run normally on my phone.
Car: Skoda Octavia 5E (2016), does offically support AA
Phone: Xiaomi Redmi 4X (Android 6.0.1, MIUI Global 8.5.2.0)
Please, what could be wrong?
Anything I could try to make the navigation work?
Thanks a lot for any advice.
I'm having the same problem as you do. The only one working in my AA is Google Maps. Waze not working correctly in AA. Stay still in one point for all the time and the navigation didn't work.
Haven't tried the waze on the phone yet.
Xiaomi Redmi 4X (Android 6.0.1, MIUI Global 8.5.2.0)

Same here. But I've noticed one thing. The same version of Android Auto and Waze works on my old Asus Zenfone 2. I upgraded to Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 this week and everythinkg works fine except Waze. It starts up, I can set my destination, but my location on map is the last position from mobile mode. When I switch to AA mode it do not use GPS somehow (or its blocked).
I suspect this is caused by either bug in Xiaomi or its setup. So I started playing with power saving features (turning them off) and I'll see if it helps.
FIXED!!!
it seems like MIUI was causing the issue. In the Settings, there is battery saving setup which can disable access to GPS if screen is off. So I disabled all the stuff and Waze works as it should.

Thanks!
This I've tried as well. I've set Custom behavior for AA to "No restriction" but with no avail. Maybe another service? Didn't find any obviously named such as Location service or so...
I'll try disabling power saver at all to confirm your observation soon!
Fix confirmed
Great!
Disabling power saver completely solved the issue.
But, I wanted to have the power saver on. So I experimented a little and the (working) result is:
Under Battery & performance -> Manage apps battery usage -> Choose apps set no restriction to applications:
Android Auto
Waze
I also added Google Play services for Instant Apps and Google Services Framework (System apps tab) to this list but I'm not sure if this matters.
what version android?

I'm also running into this issue with only waze on AA. Waze works fine by itself, and GM works fine both. I was unable to find where I could set the battery restrictions. This is also a new problem for me as it was working (same car) but on an older phone. Issue appears to be on the new (samsung s8+) only. Submitted issue to waze, but if someone here has a solution before they get back to me, that would be great!
Thanks so much everyone I turned off battery save on my Galaxy S-8+ and all is working again.
I have no idea what is going one w new look version and old versions of android auto. Either way, most commands or calling a contact, get driving directions or text someone are decli ed saying something like sorry, not sure how to do that or not know how to handle requests. Kinda frustrating and settings appear to be correct as I can see music apps, google maps etc.
Any suggestions or is it an issue somewhere else. Any other android phone and AA works fine w it whether new look version or old AA version.

Same problems here, Android Auto is borked big time on my fold but is still OK on my Pixel 3a. Problems are:-
1) When connected to my vehicles head unit it often disconnects for no reason
2) When I get a stable connection, and ask it to "navigate to xxxx" by voice it responds that it cannot do this "while in driving mode".
3) If I ask it to make a call or send a sms it responds "sorry I cant make calls yet" or "sorry I cant send texts yet"
4) After AA has been opened (even outside the car), Google assistant will no longer make calls or send texts via voice commands. Disabling the Google app, clearing the cache doing a restart brings the assistant functionality back but only until I use AA again.
The whole thing is a complete mess and given it is intended to be used WHILE DRIVING it is a very dangerous distraction - Google/ Samsung need to get on top of this or I can see them getting sued because they killed someone.
UPDATE: Iwas running a beta of google play services, when I uninstalled that and went back to the general release version, everything seems to be working OK with Android Auto.
I have some Google Assistant routines on my phone that work just fine but when I start up Android Auto I get "Routine aren't currently supported on this device." If I turn off Android Auto the routines work again.
Are there any answers to this problem?
Thanks.
Yes, but it's not an answer you want to hear. Routines have been non-working for some time now, and so far there is no mention of when they are coming back to work with AA.
Apologises of this has already been covered.
For a few weeks I've been constantly getting the device not certified message and Google play services would update to 23.13.12. I tried the usual methods of clearing data from gsf, gps and the play store and I tried stopping updates via the play store and also restricted data to the play store but still I received the certification errors and updates every few hours.
I then went from emui12 to 10 and reinstalled GMS via googlefier but still I received the certification errors!!!!
In the end I solved it (at least for a day so far and counting) by making "find my device" inactive. Settings - Security - More settings - Device Administrator and set find my device to inactive.
After setting to inactive turn on aeroplane mode, clear all data from GPS and uninstall 23.13.12 and then install 21.24.57 and restart the phone.
Hopefully this helps someone else with these problems
you got google pay as device admin?
Google pay was set as active by default. I assume this happens when installing gms?
The reason for deactivating find my device was because it was keeping Google play services alive
I install gms on my p40 pro but I don't get any google pay
