I own a Lenovo Smart Display which is connected to a few home minis. Love the routines and features with the Lenovo Smart Display, but I have been having problems recently with it. Google Calendar is part of the routines, so everything I have for tomorrow when I say Goodnight, and everything I have for today when I say Good morning. Problem is, it won't like detect(?) the Calendar, as if it was not synced. I've tried removing it from the routine and having it back on, but still won't work. Any suggestions?

So my dad is having issues with his Droid turbo. It just updated to lollipop and since then, his bluetooth disconnects every time the screen shuts off. It doesn't matter what he's connected to. As soon as the screen is off, it's as if his bluetooth wasn't even on. He's got a fitness tracker that he has an sync app for and it's supposed to be a background thing. Won't stay paired to his vehicle either. He's toggled bluetooth on and off, un-paired and re-paired and cleared data and cache under the Bluetooth sharing app. Nothing is working.
Anyone gotta fix or experience this as well?
Most likely it is a power saving program that is installed. Check settings in any battery apps you have installed for anything about bluetooth.
Like PittAussie said, he probably has one of those bull**** battery saving programs installed that's doing it.
I really didn't know where to pitch this issue, but here's the problem:
Google fit has been working nicely for a long time on my GWR, but recently I installed a health app on the phone, and it required GF to be installed on the phone to pull the steps etc off it. However as soon as I installed it on the phone, fit on the watch stopped syncing to the GF server. It just refused, for days. I checked the web app, nothing there either. I uninstalled both, reinstalled, changed settings, tried everything really. Not just that - but when I turned on the body sensors option in the phone app, it just started using the phone's sensors, which is no good., I wanted it to read the watch's data. It just wouldn't have it.
Eventually I got the watch syncing again, but with a lot of messing about, and the phone app not installed.
Has anyone else got the same problems, or can shed any light of this perhaps? A quick scan online shows quite a few have had these sync issues over the last few years.
EDIT: Just looked at the history on both the watch and the web view, and the steps for most days completely differs between the two. That is if the watch app can be bothered to sync at all, sometimes patches of empty entries on the web view will eventually appear with data, sometimes several days later. Yet still be mismatched.
GWR: OS 7.1.1, AW 2.0 (2.8.0.182823779)
S8+: OS 7.0 (G955FXXU1AQL5)
This sort of thing seems to happen every once in awhile. Is there anything to be done other than wait for it to get fixed?
I've tried turning off 'continued questions' to no avail, also tried creating another custom routine with another name, still no go.
The 'normal' built in routines work; 'good morning' etc.
AND, what the routine does 'ask mail buddy to ...' works. If asked directly. but it won't work with a custom routine name.
Can I fix this or just wait for google to figure it out?
thanks, Cheers
Okay, fyi, did a factory reset and set the speakers back up again with Google Home on tablet.
All is working now. It seems that's the only solution. The connection or 'persistent storage' or something is flaky, and needs to be 'reset' occasionally.
These have become beyond a joke. The custom routines have stopped working, radio alarms available on my Lenovo version but not the Google one and, even when the radio alarms do work, they sometimes morph randomly into a standard alarm.
The sooner someone works out to root these to standard Android/Linux the better.
I've been using Bixby routines since I got my s10e and been loving it. However, I've been running into a problem for a while (a problem which I did not have when I started using the routines).
I've got a routine setup that switches off bluetooth, NFC, Wifi, mobile data and auto sync during the night at a set time. This allows people to still reach me in an emergency, but my battery isnt unnecesarily drained during the night with internet and notifications. However, when the set time occurs, everything switches off like it supposed to exept wifi. I have to turn Bixby routines off and on again for the full routine to work.
I've tried deleting the routine and even splitting the routine up (i.e. just wifi switch off at a set time), but nothing seems to work.
Anbody have the same problem or know of any solution?

I'm using the "save battery at night" stock routine and it's shutting off all of the radios, including wifi, and they're all back on in the morning. Are you using that one or something different?
No, I use a custom routine, but the stock "save battery at night" has the same problem with me: wifi does not shut off at the set time
they are buggy. I have sort of the same thing (turns off wifi/data and auto-sync and sometimes it fails to disable auto-sync)
Mine haven't been working properly since the May firmware update

I think I figured out my problem: I had two conflicting routines setup (i.e. I had a routine set up that turned off bluetooth when connected to my home wi-fi, which in turn stopped my night routine from turning wifi off).
Hope this helps somebody!

It was driving me crazy...had a routine to turn off wifi when I connected my BT earbuds (to avoid the streaming interruption when leaving the house) that stopped working one day. Thanks to your solution I realized it was a new routine for turning off location when connected to my home wifi that was conflicting with the first routine. So thank you very much! Now I just need to figure out a work around for one or the other...
Since I think past november, Google Assistant stopped working correctly in my device (spes, 128/6, global) and others from friends (spes, 128/4, global).
The symtoms are, it does react to "Hey Google" (or "Ok Google") but then, when its time to give the order, it doesnt listen, it stays here, with the four colored line like waiting for the sound but the line stays quiet and doesnt move when I talk, like if the mic were not working.
Didn't work after updates, through MIUI 12/13 and Android 11/12.
Anyone have some trick to make it work?
Thanks.
Have same issue but sometimes Google assistant works and sometimes it acts like that, also I noticed that Google assistant doesn't work when screen turned off for some time, it does react to 'Ok Google' if screen just turned off or between couple of minutes of turning off the screen, after that it doesn't respond, I believe it has something to do with MIUI optimization so I already set Assistant as No restrictions in battery saving settings but still, same issue.. hope someone help with that.. I used to use Google assistant for long time so I got annoyed because of this bug..
I also tried battery saving options, retraining my voice, reinstalling, erasing cache, data, etc., but nothing. :-(
Some time ago doing research about the subject I read something about Google not supporting Google Assistant anymore , because it was not giving enough money or something like this, maybe our device is more or less unsupported now. Can't find the article now. I would like to know if this is an issue on others Redmi phones, the 11S, 11Pro, etc.
Google Assistant might be doomed: Division “reorganizes” to focus on Bard
The Google Assistant makes no money and hasn't released hardware in two years.

Hi All,
I'm not surprised by this at all.... like other's here, I noticed Google Assistant (GA) had stopped responding after I updated from Android 11/MIUI 12.5 to Android 12/MIUI 13. I kinda wasn't bothered, gave up on it... that was until the other day. I called out to my GA Home Mini, and noticed my phone responded again, where as it hadnt uptil then. The only thing I noticed at the time was my phone was being charged at the time, which kinda implies based on above, whether it is power related in latest update. As being on mains power, it seemed to work like used too.
I am shocked and gutted to hear Google have given up on GA, although that said, not surprised... as I noticed all my GA's around the house (1x Google Home, 2x Home Mini's, 1x Google Hub) have all become dumb in the last year or so, during the Plandemic... I thought it was when we changed Router settings to let our neighbour use our WiFi when they ISP issues, then reverting back to our normal Router settings, it became less Smart.
Noticed GA was either getting the answers wrong, or not at all... I'm so annoyed, I barely use the GAs now and just type it on a Tablet if I need an answer... defeets the point of an Assistant??
Google advancing, saving human interaction and becoming smarter?? We're going backwards arn't we...??
Why does Google launch so many products, when at the time of the launch, brilliant, but then kill them off before they've finished/polished it off... In my eyes, GAs still needed far more work, nowhere near what they advertised, at least not in the UK... USA is a different story !!
Keep calling out to GA "Send feedback" GA responds "What needs fixing/improving" I then reply "EVERYTHING!!!"

Got exacly the same problem on a brand new Redmi Note 11 with original rom.
First I flashed the Xiaomi.eu Rom, still the same problem.
Since two days I'm running the pixelexperience rom and it works perfecly fine.
What I found out is: xiaomi removed some important parts from android because the google assistant isn't allowed in china. It seems like even in the eu and us versions of the rom they broke the assistant.
Since the xiaomi.eu rom is based on the original one it also just dosn't work.
Looks like any rom based on the aosp works fine.
Tks for the heads up @NeoCortex, I'll check the PE thread.
With today's firmware (MIUI Global 14.0.2, Android 13) it's working again!!
