Just got a Google Home Mini for my brother from the Spotify Premium for Families promotion. Tried to set it up on his OnePlus 6T but the Google Home app could not see it. Opened the Google Home app on my Note 9 and it showed up.
Is there any other way to keep my normal Google Home on my account but his Mini on his account?

Hi All
I subscribed to the 6 month trial of all access when I got my Nexus 6, Google play music works fine but I can't seem to get the YouTube musickey Service.
I dont have any background settings or anything within the app, does anyone know how to activate it?
Thanks
I had 2 "accounts" with YouTube (one Google account), one under my full name the other my email \alias. It was automatically put on the account of my actual name only. Kind of annoying but switching to the other one worked

Omg you legend that worked Lmao!!
I recently switched from ios back to android on my Note 5. The problem I'm having is syncing over my Google calendars to this phone. My wife has an iPhone 6 and I can't seem to see any of her events on her Google calendar on my phone. I've tried several different apps and dug through all the settings, removed her Google account, added it back in, restarted my phone. Everything I can think of, I've tried and still her Google calendar won't sync to my phone.
Has anyone ever ran into this before or have any other ideas?
My last option to try would be to sign back into my icloud on my iPhone 5s that I still have and use samsung smart switch. Has anyone ever used this app and had success with it?

Update:
I used Sunrise Calendar app and logged into her icloud through the app and it worked. But, Google calendar and the stock calendar still doesn't sync her account.

Hi Guys,
I just got a Note 8 and absolutely love everything about it. Coming from the 6P, I was worried about not having the stock Android experience, but Samsung apps are up to par with Google's if not slightly better.
HOWEVER...
I do use the Google ecosystem (mainly Google Drive) and have a few questions about integrating Samsung and Google apps to provide a more seamless experience.
1. When I use Bixby to search for something on Google (ex. Hi Bixby, Google the meaning of life), Bixy would open Samsung Internet to search on Google. I've went into Settings > Apps > Bixby and made sure it's not the default app for anything. Is there a way to have Bixby use Chrome instead?
2. When I use Bixby to set a reminder, it's saved into the Samsung Reminders app. When I use Google Assistant to set a reminder, it saves it into the Google app. Is there a way to default this so that Bixby saves it to the Google app? The reason being is because I use Google Inbox app, which also displays my reminders. But it doesn't show reminders saved in Samsung Reminders
Any advice appreciated!
Bump
Short answer no. I use both Google assistant and Bixby.

Do you use Bixby reminders? I've had a few instances where I forgot to do something because I was not around my phone to have Bixby alert me...
Had it been synced to Google Reminders, I would've known since I was on my Macbook, which has the Inbox app.....
Anyone know alternative solutions? Wish Samsung Reminder could sync with Google Reminders
1. Ok Google
2. Remind me to do.....at .....
Done
Can't you set Bixby up to do a specific task. When you ask Bixby to do something you briefly get the window afterword that give you options to "teach me how". I would try that, maybe you can get your results, or watch YouTube for sakiteck and his Bixby tutorials and there is a way to set a command to do a list if things.

I'm stuck with 24 corrupted home structures that I can't delete. Google knows it's a bug but has offered no timeline on a fix. Right now there are no home automation accounts connected to my account or the Google home app. Previously the only home automation app I had installed was the kasa app for a smart plug. But I have since disconnected it from my account and removed the device from the home app. When I look on my kids phones in the home app, I do not see any home automation connected to their account. Neither of their accounts have the option to remove the extra empty home structures which cannot be deleted from my account. Also, my backup email account, which I used to try and fix this whole issue, does not show the undeletable home structures. I completely deleted all information from my Google home app and my kids Google home apps before I factory reset all the devices and set everything back up. When I set everything back up, I started with only my account. And at that time the undeletable home structures were already there, before I linked my kids accounts. So, unlinking them (from voice match) does not help to remove the undeletable home structures.
Right before I noticed the undeletable home structures, the main things that I can think of are:
I removed myself as a home member (there where no home members in the home structure).
I deleted all devices and home structures.
I factory reset the device (Google home speaker).
I cleared all data for home app, Google app, Google play services, Google play store, and Google services framework. I disabled all of those apps that I could and reinstalled the updated versions (there was no way to completely deactivate or uninstall Google play services on my phone).
For my online information, I went into my Google account and deleted every single thing that I could, from my timeline history to all of my web activity, etc... I also went in to connected apps, and deleted the item that said Google home as well as the item that said Google Assistant connected device. Now that everything is set up again, in connected apps, there is an item for Google Assistant connected device, but there is no item for Google home.
I removed my Google account from my phone and re-added it.
I factory reset my wireless router.
Finally, I also went into my Google drive and deleted my backup for my phone before I factory reset it.
I really believe that the issue has to be a bug with the home app and refreshing the data on the server. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I removed all home members, and then deleted the devices & Home structures, as well as factory reset the devices.
Also, I really wonder if it has something to do with different versions of the home app. For example when I was troubleshooting, I tried logging in on a different device. On my old phone, I was logged in with an older version of the home app and an older Android system (Android 5 lollipop). However, even if I log back in on that device, there is no option to see the undeletable home structures. So I have no way to delete them even from an old version of the app. Also, when I first linked my kids accounts, it was on their tablets, which was using the older version of the home app, as well as an older Android system (Android 5 lollipop). Now they are using the newer version of the Google home app on their phones which have Android 7. And I'm using the newest version of the Google home app on Android 9 pie on my pixel 2 XL.
I'd really like to get this figured it out before I continue to add my other devices to the Google home app. Any help/feedback would be appreciated!
If nothing else, why can't they just have an option to manually delete any home structures from within the Google home app? There are separate areas for devices, rooms, and groups (within a home structure). Why can't they add a different area that lists all of the homes you are a member of, with the option to remove yourself and delete the home structure? Right now my account says that I am a home member of 25 different home structures. But I'm actually only a home member of one home structure. When I click on one of the empty home structures, it just sends me back to the one working structure that I have. So I have absolutely no way to delete the empty home structures. Even adding an option to completely delete all Google home app data from the servers would be a great option, that many people would appreciate.
Here is Google's official response so far:
"Our Engineering Team has informed that they don't have the option to wipe the account and it's not recommended. For now our workaround for this fix is using an alternate account."
Here is my reply back:
At this thread (https://support.google.com/googlehome/thread/624656?hl=en) there were others with the same issue and the problem was fixed by someone at support fixing their broken Google Home data in the cloud/server/back-end. They must have that option. Why could they fix it for others but not for me?
Why would it not be recommended? It would just be like starting over for the Google Home data. In fact, why isn't that an option yet, to be able to easily delete/reset all Google Home data? There are options to delete everything else account related (web activity, timeline, etc...). I think we should be able to delete/reset our Google Home data too.
How does using a different account help? I want to be able to access my own information and services.
Will there still be a definite fix for my issue? When will that fix happen?
Sorry for my absence in posting. My problem has actually been fixed since March 13th, but not before some work on my end. I actually searched around and emailed the Google Cast/Google Home Developers and got a reply from one very helpful Developer. We exchanged emails, I provided lots of details, and he was able to look into my account and eventually fix the issue. It took a couple weeks but eventually the broken home structures were gone. I still don't know what caused it or how they fixed it. I asked about other people with the same issue, and he replied that they were working on a fix for everybody but it could take a while. Hopefully now the issue is fixed. I don't want to give out his email because he was nice enough to help me and I don't want tons of people trying to contact him. So please don't ask. But have hope that if your issue isn't solved yet, there really is a team working on issues and there really should be a fix at some point.
Hi,
My daughter has received a present - a Galaxy Watch 5. He is 10, and she has a Google supervised account that I manage through the Family Link. Her phone is also supervised by the Family Link. When setting up the phone with her, I could not move the Google account from the phone to the watch - it keeps saying that the google account cannot be moved.
As a result, she cannot use Play Store to install additional applications on the watch.
Is there a way to set the google account on the watch somehow? Or is the only way to get the apps to sideload these somehow to the watch?
Thanks
