Hi I got a Brand new Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, great device, everything is perfect only problem I got is that when I'm in Google Play and want to look at the screenshots of an app, and swipe between them the device freezes, then vibrates and sends me back to Google Play, sometimes it gives me an error message, I have done like 3 factory resets but it doesn't fix it, any recommendations?
Thank You
Someone?
What version of Google Play are you on ? Have you tried Re-loading Google Play ?

I'm on the latest, which is 3.9.16. I have noticed that if the screenshots on google play are in landscape, there is no problem switching between them (eg. Nova), and if I hold the device sideways, I can switch between the screens even if they are portrait screenshots with no problem, wondering if there es a problem with the screen size, everything in any other app is perfect, I tried viewing pictures on the IMDB app and works perfect is just when clicking the images on google play.
thanks.
OK, the problem is related to google play 3.9.16, I know because in manage applicationd I uninstalled google play updates so it went to a previous version, and it works perfect, the problem is that it updates by itself back to 3.9.16 and the problem comes back. any ideas? maybe a way to stop it from updating?
Thanks

You can use Titanium Backup to keep it form Updating. Or you can go into Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Market Updater. Then Force Stop it from there. But I think you might also just want to try the latest version of the Play Store. You can find it v3.9.17 HERE. The article has the Download links, and info on what's new.
I am using xperia z2 D6503. Existenz rom 5.6.5. I cannot get google asistant to work. When I long press on the home button in xperia home nothing comes up. I also tried using the xposed module- Assistant enabler
Use Xposed module - Android N-ify, it should work perfectly.

Thank you for replying. I am using N-ify but when I press the home button nothing comes up. I am using the latest xperia home
Got it working.
It would help others if you posted details of how you got GA working.
I uninstalled the the updates of the google app and the google play services then I installed both to the latest version. I also installed the exposed module N-ify and checked to see if the google app has all the permission it needs. Turning on all the permission for the google app allowed me to hold the home button and launch google assistant. Clearing cache and data is also a must after updating google apps.
Hi,
I have recently bought a Swift 2 X and am starting to think it may have been a mistake. I would really like to remove the pre-installed TrueCaller dialler and replace with the standard Google Phone from Play Store.
After contacting WileyFox support they told me:
I'm afraid that you cannot delete Truecaller from your device, however you can disable it which stops it from being able to access anything on your device.
Before you do this however, I would recommend to download another dialler from the Play Store. As soon as you have done this, you can safely disable Truecaller.
To disable TrueCaller please go to Settings > App and then scroll down to TrueCaller tap on it and then tap on disable.

When accessing the Play Store from my device the Google Phone app isn't visible (due to it being incompatible) and for confirmation of this when I view the app on the Play Store from my PC there is a message telling me "This app is incompatible with your device".
I am running Android 7.1.2 Build TOS249H-N2G48B. Can anyone tell me why the app isn't compatible or if there is a way I can get it to work please?
I installed it from apk mirror (there's a 'nonnexus' version from 5 december 2016 that works fine, other versions don't work).
Might I add that this is the one fix this phone really needs? Your purchase wasn't a mistake, the phone is quite good (value/money wise & software support wise), they just made the mistake of bundling this dialer...
EDIT - if you don't want to sideload, you can always try zero dialer or exdialer (both of which get somewhat favourable reviews online)
Great! Thanks very much for your advice - I'll give those options a try.
Set as default dialer
I figured it how to make the Google dialer work properly. You've got to go into the apps section of settings then click on the cog at the top of the screen.
Near the bottom of the screen you'll see phone app, click on that and choose Phone. Hey presto, it works!

This is on one of my WileyFox Swift 1, the other is still on 6.0.1
Thank you very much for zero dialer (Play Store), I have been struggling with the default basic Truecaller ever since I downgraded (YES, not a typo) from 6.0.1 to 7.x.x
The lack of call blocking drove me to trying to solve the problem again.

Thanks for confirming. Would you care to do a very short review of the Zero dialer? maybe some screenshots, what works well, ...?
Even if you don't, it's good to know that there is another viable option than the nonnexus which I've been using.
Hey, is anyone else having problems getting into the assistant settings menu, i'm talking about this menu.
(open assistant > settings and then settings again)

Tried clearing cache and data of both Google and play apps, I also tried the beta channel download same thing, I tap settings it almost like the page pops ups and vanishes within a second, both settings and explore are doing this.

Nope, I can change my Assistant settings easily. But my menu is different.

No, that's just the menu we want to access but can't
So I guess I have to revoke the microphone authorization for the Google app to get rid of Google assistant for now.

This one.
I access the settings by pressing Home Button and then by clicking on the blue icon on the top right side
@B1naryBlaz3 I fixed it with my P20 by disabling and uninstalling Google Play Services via "System Settings -Apps -> Google Play Services -> Deactivate" and then afterwards installing the Google Play Services update again when prompted. This actually fixed a lot of issues I had

Works until I restart the phone again, I also factory reset 4 times yesterday to try and isolate the issue, its definitely something thats part of the default install, everything is fine until it updates the stock stuff and then you restart.

Well it's the same as mine. The problem may be the Google Play Services as @2001db8 pointed out. You have all the permissions granted to Assistant?

and today I learned, that no I don't , guess they needed to cut cost somewhere.
Does yours ?
I wonder if the OS versions have anything to do with the problems I am having.

Did you get the handset from cell c ? Trying to figure out how the various operators decide which version they sell, got mine from Telkom if I knew the other version had more internals I would have opted for that, this is what I get for not doing my homework.

I have no issue whatsoever, I use the Google assistant on a daily basis ( Yeah I'm that lazy lol) and the Google authentication app is working just fine (I have setup my two way authentication code for my various emails accounts and other stuff) i'm pretty happy with this p20 lite and I wasn't expecting to have such a good experience in the first place.

Hey guys
I'm using Lineage 16.0 on a Note 3 HLTE. I would like to install Google Assistant and have it so that I can access it from any app with voice match.
Doing a clean install of Lineage with pico GAPPS, I go to install the Assistant from the play store and it tells me I need the Google App, so I install that. A bit of fumbling around, I'm able to get the Assistant working as the default. I can tell which app is which because the Assistant voice box appears at the bottom, and the Google App (search) appears at the top. I find the Assistant to be the nicer app to use. However with this method, voice match does not work. I've tried everything.
Doing a clean install of Lineage with micro GAPPS, it will install the Google App and voice match works. I went to the play store to install the Assistant and it just doesn't seem to work. Clicking the Assistant icon just loads up the Google App, like it's just a link/placeholder now.
The tldr
I can install pico GAPPS and Assistant/Google App from the play store. Everything works but voice match is greyed out/missing/doesn't work
I can install micro GAPPS (includes Google App) and Assistant from the play store. Voice match now works, but Assistant just seems to link to/load the Google App instead.
Any ideas?
After a bit of fumbing around, disabling apps and so on, it seems I got it working. I think what did it was setting it as the default assist app. It didn't occurr to me to do this at first because it was already responding to my voice, but it seems setting the default will change it from google search to assistant. Who knew? Leaving this here in case anyone else has the same issue. I've seen plenty of people who couldn't get voice match working. It seems the thing to do is install the Google App as a system app/use a GAPPS that includes it, then install Assistant from the play store and set it as the default
