Changing to male voice navigation in Google Maps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am wanting to change the voice navigation in Google Maps to a male voice.
When I press Play on the General management > Language and input > Text-to-speech screen, the voice that plays is male.
I can't take a screenshot of the 'Google TTS Options' screen as I get: "Can't take screenshot due to security policy."
Any ideas?

[Q] Accessibility bug

Whenever I try to use apps on a device that use the accessibility section of my phone, Whenever I turn on the feature, it always seems to turn on the action to voice output. I just installed PushBullet and when I turned it on in Accessibility, when swiping my homescreens, the accessibility voice turns on and says "page _ of _" Please help me fix this bug. It's soooo annoying.
There is no official fix for that... Only thing you can do is go to Application manager, swype to all apps page and find and disable Google Text to speech and Samsung TTS

Shortcut for the default Google voice search (white circle with microphone)

I'm wondering how to get a shortcut for the default Google assistant on a tablet being used in my dad's car.
We are currently using this car launcher, which has the assistant icon on the homescreen. See here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...nits/customized-car-launcher-apk-bmw-t3652086
I'm trying to re program a button on his steering wheel to have the tablet open that assistant app & wait for a voice command but that shortcut doesn't show up in his list of apps.
Maybe there is another app I can use? What app instantly pauses the music & waits for a voice command?

Google Assistant Reassignment

Hi everyone,
So I have full screen gestures turned on for my navigation bar on my S10 Lite (Sprint Network USA SM-G770U1). I wanted to see if there was a way to either get rid of the activation beep for Google Assistant or to reassign the assistant to another gesture. I just don't want to accidentally activate it when doing the home gesture. I tried assigning a different home screen gesture with Nova Launcher, but it didn't work.
This is my first post and I'm excited to be here!
Thank you!
In the Nova Settings it says: "Android 10 gesture navigation - Google has not yet made gesture navigation compatible with 3rd party launchers. There is nothing that Nova Launcher can do to change this until a future Android update."
I came across the same problem myself, and found a solution how to completely turn off Google Assistant. There are two things you need to do:
1st. Go to Settings > Google > Account services > Search, Assistant & Voice > Google Assistant > Under "Manage your Google Account" tap on "Assistant" tab > Scroll to the bottom of the screen > Under "Assistant devices" tap on "Phone" > Turn off the button next to a Google Assistant.
2nd. Go to Settings > Applications > Tap on three dots that are located on the right top of the screen and choose "Default applications" > Assistant application > App for help with the device > None.
That's it!
I hope you have a great day ahead. :fingers-crossed:

Voice to text bug on android

Hi, there is a bug on Android that really annoys me. (Galaxy S9 - Android 10)
I activated google voice input(voice to text / google voice typing) in General management > language and input > on-screen keyboard > Manage keyboards and deactivated Samsung Voice input.
Now If you go into the power-saving mode(medium power saving) your device will automatically deactivate the Google voice input(voice to text) and activate Samsungs voice input. And not enough, disabling the power-saving mode will still leave you with Samsung voice input activated and set as standard, therefore every time you go into power saving mode your preferences are changed permantly, favoring Samsungs own voice to text feature.
