Has anyone found a way to access Google Assistant from screen off?
My 'unlock from any screen' option in the Google app won't even turn on anymore (it used to). Even when it did work, unlock by voice match didn't.
I think ideally I'd like to be able to access the Assistant via holding down the vol down button, which current can be used to access Huawei's own voice service that lets you say a contact's name to call them. Useful, but Google Assistant would be better.

I'm trying to use the Kaiser as a voice recorder. Now, when the device is awake, I can use the PTT button to start the voice recorder just fine. But when the device is not awake. I have to push the power butten, then type in my password and then push the PTT button.
Would there be a way to configure the PTT button to just start the voice recorder no matter if it's awake or not and without having to enter a password?
wouldnt that just defeat the purpose of having a password in the first place?
Depends. Ideally when the voice recorder is launched it would not really unlock the entire phone but just give me access to the voice recorder. That way, data on the device is still safe, but voice notes can be added.

But the PTT button is one of the easier buttons to accidentally press. Having it pushable while off would mean a lot of accidental voice recordings.
or non accidental, who are you trying to blackmail?
Hmmz,
it doesn't necessarily have to be the PTT butten. Any button will do. The PTT button just seemed to be the logical choice.
As a matter of fact I would also like the camera butten to work in a similar fashion. Just push it and the camera show. Without having to power on and unlock.
Ok, some won't like this because of battery drain. But if this can be configured and turned on and of again, then everyone would be free to choose.
by adjusting the key lock settings, you can set it so it records without having to power on, but power on and password.......i dont think its possible
When Verizon pushed out the KitKat update for the G2, one of the "features" I discovered is that voice dialing from a bluetooth headset got all messed up. Long-pressing the headset button still brings up a voice dialer, but it's an idiotic voice dialer that can't understand what I'm saying and even if it does, certain numbers it just goes "no entry" even though I have multiple numbers in that person's contact file. It's garbage.
There is a way to completely get rid of this and instead use Google Now when you long-press the button on a bluetooth headset. Steps are as follows:
1. Find and disable the pre-installed app called Voice Command
2. Install the app Bluetooth Launch - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kin.bluetooth_launch&hl=en
3. Open Bluetooth Launch. It's going to be a bit funky looking because it's not optimized for higher-resolution screens. You'll see a bunch of really small text with overlapping buttons on the left. It's ugly, but it'll still work.
4. Scroll down to Google Search, tap on it, and it'll expand a list of a bunch of things. Tap on the one that says 'com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity'
5. Pair up your bluetooth headset, and long-press the button like you would to voice dial. You should get a popup that asks which app you want to use. Select Google Search and then 'do this always' to set the default.
This should pop you over to Google Now, which can recognize voice commands just fine, unlike the worthless LG Voice Command. It should also make Google Now the default behavior for long pressing the bluetooth headset button.
Nice write up. Stock voice command works well for me along with non NOW search. I've boycotted NOW for it's ridiculous battery drain. At one point NOW and location services were decent in battery saving, recent service updates have made it worse though.
Thank you sir for showing us how to get back to using Google Now. After the latest Google Search update, BT dialing activated Google Dial instead, and this is the only fix I have found for it. So far this is working great on my Sprint Note 3, and I bet it will work for everyone's phone.
Anyone know how to get past the voicemail settings option when setting up Google Voice on Null23?
It gets to the carrier settings and crashes the app every time, even is you choose to skip the settings.
Google voice thinks the Gear is a phone, on a tablet it doesn't ask you any of those questions because
it thinks the device is not voice enabled.
Thanks

I disabled Google assistant. When tried to reactivate it won't let me. I switch on voice match and it says it has my voice in it's history. But when I go back to voice match it deactivated.I also cannot retrain voice.
Nothing happens when I click it. Has there been an update to disable it ?
Hello I'm a disabled person, I would like to know if we can make a voice call with the Google assistant when this smartphone is on standby (without lock password) ?
Because with my OP5T is not possible.
Thx
Im not sure if you can do it with Google Assistant but you can do it with Huawei's asiistant Emy.
In (EMUI10) Settings- Accessobility-Voice control, turn on the Emy and everything else you need from there!
I make calls from my Google Home absolutely fine using my P30 Pro, regardless of where it is, whether the screen is locked etc.
My phone will also unlock when I talk to the Google Assistant, so can't see why it wouldn't. I'll try it when I'm not within range of my crafty Google Home devices.
