Is it possible to make the Google Assistant in AW2 actually speak from the watch speaker? It would certainly be a great thing to have especially while driving.

The only way google assistant will speak is if you
go into "accessibility" under settings and enable
text to speech, but doing that will make everything
on your screen to be spoken through the speaker.
Good luck, have a great day!

Speak 'OK Google' Working
Is you OK Google not waking up?
Go into settings
Language and input
Change language to English US (NOT English UK)
You should be good to go...

Also don't use wechat pebble, it interferes with the OK Google thing.
Took me three factory resets and several app restores to figure that out
Is there a mod or a trick to keep the "ok google" from the us voice setting, but still keep my native language voice search?
Not that I know of. I think that is something that google will need to something about.

Sorry but are you saying "OK Google" should wake the phone, as in if the screen is off?

No it cant wake the phone unfortunately.
From the home screen, say 'ok google what time is it?' for example.
There are only a few google apps at the minute that enable this speech function.
Just a PSA for all you guys. If you go into the google search settings, tap voice, enable audio history, then set up the OK google training, there's an option for having it listen when the screen is off.
This basically works by using s voice to set up the OK google command, then instead of launching s voice when the command is heard, it launches google now. It works pretty seamlessly and (as far as I can tell) as good as the Moto X.
Good to know. Is this on a tmobile device?

Should be any Snapdragon device, but yes, I have a TMO device.
Ok so I've managed to get Google assistant working. It's so much better than Google now. But I can't get the always on part of it to function correctly.
It always asks to relearn my voice.
Is there any combination of zips or custom ROMs where Google assistant works as it should?
This seems like such a great feature. I'd love to be able to use it as intended, obviously without having to fork out for a pixel.

Sorry for the late reply.
Cheers guys. That's working great.
Now if I can find a way for it to operate even when the screen is off, I won't have a reason to change to a pixel at my next upgrade. Lol
Cheers again.
Does anyone use Bixby? How do you set up it up to use Bixby voice to open up the phone?
In California, we can't use the phone while driving. I want to access the phone with voice using Bixby voice command to call someone in case of emergency without pulling to the sideroad to touch the phone.

Voice only seems to work when she feels like it. I just keep using Google Assistant.

I don't like to use any type of phone assistant (I do use and love my Echo/Alexa, though), but I'm going to use Bixby to get those points, too.
not had any issues unlocking my phone with bixby - the voice password thing works extremely well.
man bixby briefing, voice unlock, opening apps... all that ish works just fine!
i used to use the IFTTT but now with action commands, i dont need to do this. I just say "hi bixby , office" and she does exactly what i want her to do.
she is even smart enough to know if some of the actions i ask her to do are already set. she will say "hmm seems you are already using that.."
so, i have no qualms about this skirt.. :fingers-crossed:
Ok I was able disable the OK google and it only listen when I press the mic icon. Now no matter what I do in the google app settings it's always listening. My only current option is to disable microphone permissions which isn't what I want since I can't press the mic icon and speak.
I had it setup on the note8 with android 9 to only listen when the mic icon is pressed. Got the note 9 did the same settings and it still responds when I say OK or hey google.
Currently have the microphone permissions disabled since my phone does NOT need to listen all the time. Is there a setting I am missing?
I had to remove the Google search widget to stop it from always listening. It is stupid that they removed the option to simply turn it off.

Exactly. Disable the "Google" app improve the memory and battery usage, imo
Interesting, I disabled the Google app for about 30 minutes and could not use voice with chrome so turned it back on. The mic permissions are enabled but OK google is now disabled yet I can push the mic icon and use voice for searching again.
So its exactly how I want it but a very strange way to get there. I have no clue how this worked but it did.
Well after a restart and about 20 minutes it went back to listening.
That's odd - it's definitely off on mine, but I can't find where I deactivated it! I use Nova Launcher, and there is an option in the Settings under 'Gestures and Inputs' to disable 'OK Google hotword' - maybe that's how I did it? But 'OK Google' doesn't work anywhere on my Note 9 (did this to save battery and because I have a Google Home & Mini).
EDIT: And I do have the Google App installed.
Not sure what's going on. Google runs me around when I tired to ask them. I know exactly where the setting is and its disabled but still listens for the "OK google "
Personally I would love someone with influence to get attention to this but it seems a little hit or miss on setups so not sure. I have the mic disabled.
I did do a really stupid test if my device was listening and used let's say red flag words to see if anyone was listening. Ironically the words I used are related to an event happening in my city which was horrible timing on my part but semi proved to me no one heard it.

Yes that works. The only thing I don't want is it to disable voice in chrome app which this does.
The settings to disable OK Google are there but don't function and google themselves either don't understand what I am saying or don't want to admit the setting doesn't function as it should.

It's not easy to find the option to turn off the Google assistant, but it's there.
Settings > apps > (three dots menu) default apps > device assistance app
You'll want to change "device assistance app" to "none" and then "voice input" to "Google". The you should be all set.
To go a step further, you can disable the Google assistant from running at all on your device.
Google app > "more" (lower right hand corner) > settings > Google assistant > assistant
Then, at the bottom you should see "assistant devices" with "phone" listed. Select phone and then toggle Google assistant off.
This should do the trick.

I was able to do the first part of device assistant app to none. The voice input option doesn't allow me to pick just google option.
Either way this has solved my issue and is now working they I want it to. Going to try a restart and see if it persists unlike my previous attempt.
Thanks again for finding this.
I like having the search widget and be able to type or voice input my search if I don't know how to spell something. With all the news of companies admitting they listen and record voice stuff having my device always listening is very unsettling. I guess it's a little paranoid but I live in a bad part of my city and I really don't want to be red flag because I walked by a drug deal which happens all to often.
That's strange, because that exactly what it should do when you disable Voice Match, since it is said that's it's actually the "anywhere OK Google listening".
Try deleting your voice imprint on the same setting page too maybe.
I wonder why is working fine on my phone and not on others.

I have no saved voice imprint saved. At least someone was able to find a work around that was a to do what I wanted.
