Weird AI button behaviour after update - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Hello guys, I have updated global ROM yesterday, and after that my Google Assistant doesn't work like it used to:
After pressing AI button it doesn't start listening my voice commands, instead it launches main Google Assistant screen. The same thing happens on locked screen. "ok google" works normally.
I've partially managed to make it work by setting "Long press" to "talk to google assistant" - now it kinda works - I must do a long press, and than long press one more time and during that talk to assistant, what is very annoying.
Do you have any tips how to get it back to work?

I would check the app permissions and settings related to Google and make sure none of them changed after the update. On my phone after the last update I had to reenable the permissions for a bunch of apps.
If that doesn't work you can do a factory reset but you would need to select set up as new device instead of restoring from a cloud backup. A cloud backup could restore the data that is causing your problem.

Yes!!!!! Same issue here, with my Mi 9 and my wife's, on the EEA ROM version. After upgrading to 10.2.26.0 it does not launches voice assistant as it used to before.
Before:
Press on AI button: voice assistant ready to recognize your voice, even with the screen locked
Press and push: same behavior
Now:
Press on AI button: if screen is locked, nothing happens. If screen is unlocked, it shows the Google Assistant home page.
Press and push: if screen is locked, shows voice assistant but not ready to recognize your voice, you need to click on the mic icon. If screen is unlocked, launches assistant ready to recognize your voice.
Xiaomi screwed up big time on that!!!

Logged a bug with Xiaomi: http://en.miui.com/thread-6917516-1-1.html

Can confirm, exactly the same here! They didn't fix any of the bugs and brought in a new one ? Im thinking of rooting and flashing a custom Rom. I don't want to loose my guarantee but I can't wait 6 Months until I get all the stuff that's fixed in beta and .eu ?

[Q] Have to Unlock Phone when I Get a Call

Hi XDA,
I've had this problem for a while now and I can't figure out anyway to fix it. I'm running 5.0 and anytime someone calls me, the phone vibrates and I have to unlock my phone with my pattern before I see the dialer screen to answer the call. Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix? My phone is encrypted, could that be it? Everything else in terms of notifications comes through fine. Maybe I disabled one too many apps?
Probably encryption, but how many apps have you disabled, and which ones?

I don't have very many apps installed actually. Disabled apps include mostly Google Play stuff and Verizon Bloatware:
Aduio Effects
BrowserMessage
Caller Name ID
Cloud
Google Play Books, Magazines, Plus, Translate, Music, Games, Videos
Connect
Google Hindi, Korean, Pinyin Input
Hangouts
Message+
Mobile Hotspot
Moto Voice
Motorola Spotlight Player
NFL Mobile
Sheets
Slides
Softcard
VZ Navigator
I'm leaning towards the encryption being the cause.
I have a uk version no network lock, no root, running lollipop, and non encrypted, had this issue few days back and a restart resolved the issue, seems it is some issue with the lollipop notification on top part of the screen thing

Oh duh, the tried and true restart method. Haven't ever had to restart this phone for anything before so I didn't even think about that. Thanks, I'll try that and see if that works for me too.
Hi,
I've had the same problem when I updated my moto to Lollipop, a simple wipe cache partition in the recovery solved it (no root needed) without loosing anything.
No encryption tho, but you'd give it a try.

I got the idea to create a topic about important things to know about the Note 8 such like in which country the LTE/4G will work and in which country not.
Real on screen time, tips and tricks to bypass certain issues and some other interesting things to know about the phablet.
I will update the main post everytime when something new is found and keep it up 2 date for users so everyone can see a quick fix or a quick answer.

Things to know
Max recording resolution is not 2160p as said on the internet but max 1080P.
If you unlock the bootloader it will give you a warning when you boot up the phone saying your phone has been unlocked and can`t be trusted, this is normal when you unlocked the bootloader.
Only 1 of the 2 simcards can use 4g at the time, so there is no 4g for both of the simcards at the same time.
Hold power and volume up when starting the phone to get in the E-recovery menu.
There is only one version of this phone, the chinese one.
This version is called the EDI-AL10, and all the languages are provided on the phone.
Some websites who are selling this phone are telling that this phone misses certain languages such as dutch.
This is not true, every language is present so no worries.
Playstore is not included on the phone, you can simply download it from the HiApp which is already pre-installed on the phone.
The fingerprintscanner can take up to 4 fingers, the fingerprintscanner only works when you activate an unlock code or password to get out of the lockscreen.
Latest rom version is B029.

Quickfixes/Tips and tricks:
Push notifcations
To make push notifications work again create a widget (provided with the app) and place it on your home screen.
The widget will keep the services alive, even when you close the app in the taskmanager.
Make sure you toggle them on in the protected apps menu and put the powerplan on performance mode.
This works for all apps that came with the option to create a widget for it.
Homebutton changer (provided by kalinskym)
To disable HiVoice to allow a different application/ shortcut to work as the Home Button without being rooted. Download Debloater from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 and disable HiVoice.apk. (com.huawei.vassistant) After you have done that you won't see HiVoice anymore and will be able to change an app/ shortcut to the home button long press by going into Apps in Settings, clicking on Advance at the bottom. Then click Default app settings and finally Assistance & voice input to change assist app (home button app/shortcut)
One handed mode
To activate one handed mode drag you finger on the navigation bar from left to right to make the screen smaller and using for the right hand.
And drag it from right to left to make the screen smaller for using it with your left hand.
Once activated drag it in the opposite way once to restore full screen or tap once on the screen above that isn't in use.
Knuckle gesture/Splitscreen
To activate "Knuckle gesture" or just splitscreen, swipe your knuckle in the center of the screen from left to right or right to left.
When doing this succesfully the knuckle command will activate splitscreen.
Knuckle gesture/Advanced screenshot
Touch (knock) your knuckle on the screen and keep touching the screen, there will come a blue sparkle once activated drag a circle or square and it will give you a selection field.
On top are some figures you can choose from.
You can now select the part you want the screenshot from and save it directly on to the phone.
Double tap your knuckle on the screen to make a full screenshot. (same as volume down+power button)
Drawing an S on the screen with your knuckle will create a screen shot while it scrolls down the page.
This wil create a screenshot with a larger screenshot containing all the footage on the screen.
Now you don't have to make multiple screenshots to get everything on the screen and down.
(Check screenshot in the attachments)

This is useful information. Thanks for that! I have been having an issue with the fingerprint reader taking a second longer to unlock when the phone goes into a deep sleep; However, whenever the screen is recently turned off or when the phone is charging and I try to unlock it with the fingerprint scanner, it works super fast. It's only slow when I initially wake the phone from a deep sleep. Has this happened to you/anyone? I think it may either be an app or marshmallow doze feature. I would appreciate any suggestion/advice. Thanks.

I don`t have any delays with the fingerprint, however i use Smart Unlock to bypass the fingerprint in trusted locations.
Did you already tried to remove the old prints and register new?
Only thing else i can say if thats not working is to factory reset the phone.
on what powerplan did you put your phone? And did you toggle answer calls with fingerprint.
Sounds silly but if thats disabled there is a possibilty that the fingerprint app goes in sleep while activated for answering calls could keep it alive....Always worth trying...

I tried removing the old fingerprints and replaced with new ones. I even did a factory reset. The factory reset did it. That's what leads me to believe it's more an app than marshmallow doze. I just don't know how to identify which app. I even played with turning on all the features of fingerprint scanner. I am on performance mode. It's not a HUGE deal since the phone still unlocks faster than others, but it's a nuance since you know the phone is capable of unlocking faster. If you can think of another recommendation as to identifying the app or cause I would be grateful.

Hi, 4G works in Russia.
I think an easier way to change the voice assistant would be to download the Microsoft Clip Layer app. When it asks you to Tap on Assist app click on that setting and choose something different. I had already had HiVoice disabled when I downloaded the app so if someone else can confirm that it will work I'm sure someone would appreciate it.
4G/Lte works in Melbourne, Australia on Optus
4G/LTE is working fine in Switzerland! (16ms ping, 89Mb/s DL and 20Mb/s in UL in the alps)

Hi, I did a factory reset and confirmed that the Microsoft Clip Layer app does allow you to switch the voice assistant. It is a much easier process than disabling the app and does not require a computer hook-up.

OK Google - PROBLEMS

I use ok google all the time to send texts especially when driving. frequently i am getting an error where she says
"actually, i can't do that while the device is locked" after unlocking with fingerprint it isn't recognized that the device is unlocked for some reason
it seems to be a MIUI problem as there is a huge thread http://en.miui.com/thread-274084-1-1.html
anyone know a solution?
also, one suggestion from Google is to just turn on Trusted Voice so that you can use the OK Google command when the device is locked. when i turn this on the OK Google command does not work and is not recognized no matter what screen i'm on let alone with the device locked
anyone ran into similar problems with the Mix?
I have a similar issue...If I disable lock pattern and then re-enable it it will work. A bit of hit and miss really. Would love a proper solution if there is one.

Same. I can't get it working from a black screen. My other devices will wake up and "listen". On the Mix, I have to activate the screen and then say ok google for it to listen. I did the resetting the lock screen and it did help get ok google to listen on the lock screen. So thanks for that.
I also have the same problem with the latest Google app but it works with version 4.92.16 except that I'm not able to use ok Google from screen off. I hope there's a solution to this
Not sure if i just haven't used OK Google enough yet, or if it has legit fixed the problem...but after converting google to a system app i have not run into this error yet with over 20 times using OK Google. we will see if it holds up.
did you have this problem before making it system app and went away after?
I figured this out.
Browse to Google App > Settings > Voice > "OK Google Detection" and enable "Personal results"
Kind of a workaround, since this allows actions when your device is locked, but works well for me.
I don't have that option for enable Personal results.
I only have
From the Google App
From Any Screen
Trusted Voice
While Driving
All four are enabled.
personal ressults has always been enable and still no joy.
I don't even have while driving.
Only three options.
I don't think it's a MIUI thing. It happens on my Google Pixel XL with the latest Nougat. Same message.

disable OK google listening

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.

Also isnt it the same if I just turn off microphone assess under Settings >Apps> permissions? I just did and hey Google, or voice search etc all now dont respond....

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.

Google assistant Hey Google command?

Hey guys, anyone manage to get google assistant listening in the background? Or even to activate on button press?
I have been trying to get the OK, Google command to work but despite installing both Google Assistant and Google apps it is not listening at all.
Even the supposed shortcut buttons can't really be used since I use navigation gestures so there is no Home button etc available to press to activate in MIUI.
The only way is to open the Google app (Assistant or Now, and press the voice keyboard button) which is sooo convoluted when voice commands are nice and quick, like play next track etc.
Managed to train the Google Voice assistant but Voice Match can not be turned on, I think this is the problem. I am on a Chinese K20 Pro with Chinese stock ROM, but debloated.
Anyone come up with a solution/workaround?
The problem is related to the Chinese firmware, that seems to somehow interfere with Voice Match and renders it unusable.
This issue is present in all roms based on China firmware. The only one, as far as I know, that managed to get OK Google to work is latest unofficial Lineage OS.
There is a setting in miui to set Google assistant to work by holding the power button. That could work, though I've tried roms where even that was broken.
Now if you're using a custom launcher, such as nova or lawnchair, you can set a gesture to open Google assistant, such as double tap.
What I have dome though, is this. Since I'm using fluid navigation to get the nav gestures on pixel experience, I set it up so I can swipe and hold from the left bottom side of the screen and get Google assistant to show up.
I can still go to recents exactly like in miui, by swiping up and holding from middle bottom.
Thanks for confirming this, I thought it was my debloating that killed it, good to know this is a compatibility issue with chinese ROM.
I will look at doing workaround like you. Thanks.

Hi guys!
I resolved this issue this way:
Smartphones whithout Google Assistente
Open the Google app (G colored);
Click in the "Menu" and after "Configurations"
Choose the "Voice" options e after "Voice Match";
Active ou deactive the option "Say OK Google" at any moment;
This worked for me using a Xiaomi Mi 9t pro.

Doesn't work for me, I am on a Chinese unit K20 Pro with Chinese Rom.
There is no option for activating Say OK Google at any moment.
Might wait for India ROM with MiUI 11 and try again.
