Question Google assistant as default assistant - Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro

Seems like Mi Ai won't let google assistant be the default assistant. Google works fine until you close the app from running in the background. Then it automatically sets Mi Ai as default again.
Have to follow the prompts to get google working each time. Even turning off and setting to none doesn't revert back to Mi Ai.
Quite annoying.
Any ideas? Mi Ai does not support English.
It's the only Google app you can't make default on this tablet.

Nevermind all fixed. Google assistant works as default now. Mi Ai is gone.
It was a certain permission that wasn't set. Get device info was the culprit. Some security in place to send nothing back to google.
Many languages to choose from now. Not stuck on Chinese voice only.

Is it possible to use the ok Google command, while not in the app?

No. It says in settings that it's not available on my device. I can't toggle it on in the menu.

Yes same here. Maybe a fix will come later...

Google assistant

Ok, so I have a UK Axon7, and I just got GA, it might have been purely coincidence but I kept reading about the US getting it first, so I changed my language settings to US, rebooted my phone and within 10 seconds I had the welcome to Google assistant page up.

Wish it worked on Chinese version, sadly not
Don't give up, I am now more convinced of this, I changed my language back to UK English, and it went back to Google Now.
Make sure you change the Language in both settings under advanced, and more importantly the language to US under the google App settings and remove your default language.
Make sure you have the very latest google app apk installed, reboot the phone and then go through the google voice set up, so it worked from any screen, then all of a sudden. " Welcome to Google Assistant"

Is there anyway to install Google Assistant without root or unlocking bootloader?
Works for me. Thanks

I haven't done either, all you might need to do is sideload the latest Google play services, but might not even need that, i think its a case of just changing the language. I fact i remember having to do the same when Google now came out.

google dialer doesn't show call history on mido

hello!
I am on xiaomi.eu weekly Miui 9 (7.12.28)and want to use the google dialer instead of the xiaomi dialer. I installed it from play store, works perfect ... but, call history doesn`t show up? I tried other alternative dielaers from the play store, alle of them show the call history without any issues, but the goole dialer doesn't? i alo tried older version of google dielaer - no sucess, I gave all the rights the apps asks for, but it doesn't work. i had exactly the same with my former Redmi 4 (without Note). Can anybody help? Greetings and thank you! Jensen
Have you set your google account in the dialer?
U need to set google dialer as a default phone dialer app in setting
I have the same issue. I tried with the stable version of miui 9, but it's the same. The dialer is set as default, but this doesn't help.

Maybe xiaomi does not want you to do that.
It's just the Google dialer, other dialers show the call history ...
Check in settings>apps>Google dialer whether permission for reading call log is granted... If not then grant permission and restart the app.

Just try Lineage OS, and you will like it. No more xiaomi services, and other bloatware.
I long ago switched to the Lineage OS (Nougat) and I'm happy.

Are you able to get Google Assistant to launch with a locked screen?

Hola
I have the Canadian variant LYA-L0C. I only very recently got the 9.0.0.146 update. Even before the .146 I am unable to get Google Assistant to launch from a locked screen. If I am on the phone, and it is unlocked and I call on Google it works without issue.
1. Yes, I have enabled Unlock with Voice Match in the Voice Match settings of Google Settings.
2. Yes, I have already tried uninstalling any updates to the Google app, but it still doesn't work.
3. Yes, I have already tried using the beta release of the Google app, but it still doesn't work.
4. Yes, I have already cleared the cache and storage for the Google app and reconfigured it, but it still doesn't work.
5. On our device variant there is no ability to select US English as the default phone language, this selection simply does not exist. This was at one time or another a key setting that you had to use to get Google Now / Assistant to work properly.
Am I the only one with the issue? Any advice?
I can bring up assistant when my screen is off, but it won't unlock the phone, I still have to unlock. But assistant work's.
To get assistant to work correctly I did the following
Disable assistant
Enable assistant
Update from playstore
Reboot
Retrain and set up assistant.

I have the same Canadian variant and I am not able to get Google Assistant working properly as well when the phone is locked. I will try what Darkat70 suggested and see if it works.
Additionally, I don't think the Google assistant is integrated with the system? I said "set my alarm for 6 AM" but just ended up with a google search. Same with weather, navigation, or other simple functions.
Even on the Pixel 3 now, the assistant won't unlock the phone. So it's very limited as to what it will do while locked.
it works for me and unlocks the phone if it recognize my voice.

Me too
In my case it doesn't work because I have work email added in Gmail and the admin didn't allow the security option to unlock with voice. Check in your Google account settings under Voice -> Voice match T its allowed there or not as per the attached screenshot
Just a heads up but it was announced by Google that the Voice Match Unlock was being removed as it was deemed insecure. It's quite normal for it not to be working. This started with moving from Android Nougat to OREA and now PIE with Assistant 8.39 and above. It's not only affecting this device, but this will also be the reality for all newer devices using Android.

Mine works, but only after I went through about 50 cycles of disabling/enabling/training/uninstalling/installing every part of the Google infrastructure. Oh, and that includes wiping caches, manual installs of .apk's, etc, etc, etc. During all of that things would work a little different every time. It is obviously a bug of the OS combined with a bug in the Google Assistant crap.
I have had the same issue since m20p was launched. Solved it rather easily after some research. As USA and UK have strict rules on cell phone usage while driving, us and UK English cannot unlock phone. I switched over English Hong Kong as primary language and GA voice unlock has gotten back to how it is supposed to. I hope this helps

Ah. I had no idea. I have read on a few forums with people offering different solutions that didn't work for me. But this method worked for me and figured I would share.

App Vault instead of Google Discover

Hello,
Coming from MI 8, I found that Google Discover is installed on my MI 10. This feature is useless to me as it is already in Chrome. I miss my App Vault and I cannot find a way to get it back. App is installed, but only option is to enable/disable Discover.
Anyone here managed to restore App Vault?
Thank you

Question My "Assistant voice typing" and "Auto punctuation" are greyed out on my Pixel 6 in Gboard settings

Hi all:
I'm trying to get Assistant voice typing and Auto punctuation to work on my new Pixel 6. Both options are greyed out in Gboard settings right now. Is anyone else seeing this behavior, or is it working correctly for you?
did you train voice assistant to recognise your voice?

I got the exact same problem where on my son's phone this works
Update, got it enabled now and it works with multiple languages. Since I'm from Germany I have German and English enabled. I don't know what exactly was the trigger, but I played around with language, language settings and offline languages, re-configured everything, re-downloaded languages and so on in assistant settings. The problem must be somewhere there. Maybe someone finds the exact spot
I really want someone to get back to me, as I have the same issue with my phone. I will try the google assistant training first

Yes, the voice is already trained.
I'm having the same issue. Out of curiosity, for anybody having the problem, do you have a work profile set up on your phone? I know that with my Pixel 4, some of the new Google Assistant settings were unusable when I added my work account because my employer didn't have some setting enabled in Google Workspace.
I'm wondering if this is related to the same thing. I haven't gotten around to removing that account to see if that clears up the issue yet. I can report when I have time to try that.
Edit: That does appear to the culprit for me. As soon as I deleted my work account, I was able to activate that setting.
So far after re-adding my account, it's stayed enabled, but we'll see... If this is the culprit, I believe it's likely related to this:
Turn Search and Assistant on or off for users - Google Workspace Admin Help
Google Assistant is not available for managed Chromebooks. As an administrator, you can control who uses Google Search and Assistant services with their Google Account. Just turn the service on or of
support.google.com
Thank you brc64! I don't have a work profile set up on the phone, but I did have one work Google account and one Google account from a non-profit I volunteer for on here. I removed the non-profit Google account and the options became available. I, too, added the account back, and both Assistant voice typing and Automatic Punctuation are still enabled.
I haven't gotten it to work yet. Figures I'd run into this! Have us English set everywhere only and downloaded us offline English. Hopefully I'll be able to sort it out! Of all the silly things that's not enabled by default when we turn on voice typing... Thanks Google
Update: I think it might actually be server side change or from an app update. I updated all my apps and it started working shortly thereafter.
I tried all the solutions listed but nothing worked. What fixed it for me was to force stop Gboard. Clear cache. Then select uninstall updates. Let's Google play store update it. Then repeat the same with Google app (force stop, clear cache, uninstall updates then update.) Initially had to force stop Gboard again then open and that's it, boom it worked. Hopefully this helps.

Is it working for you in both languages? Because I'm bilingual as well and although I can switch the toggle, the true assistant voice typing is only working in English. When I switch to German, it uses the old voice typing method. You can tell the difference by the icon the little microphone has. The assistant voice typing has the newer logo.
It's something on the server side. I was on the phone with them yesterday for 90 minutes trying to get the problem resolved, then this morning some type of download came through and it was fixed. Fixed. Just be patient and you'll get it resolved. As a matter of fact, I'm using the service right now
I concur with the server side assumption. I finally got it to work, when I revmoved a second language both from Gboard and the assistant. But since I need to be able to switch to English regularly, this was too much of a hassle, so I reactivated the second language. This took me back to the regular voice input and grayed out the option for the assistant for voice typing.
I did not change anything since then, but I just found, that I now could switch on Assitant voice typing again and it works with multiple languages at once. There have been some auto updates over the play store this morning, so this might have to do with this.
Try to update all apps in your Play Store profile. If this does not help, I guess patience is all that can.

In my case I am running German (Germany) and English (US)
I can confirm this is caused by multiple language, and specifically it is in your google voice assitant setting.

Unfortunately I did not. It works fine in English, but no shot getting it to work in German when I have both languages in my assistant, the phone and the Gboard turned on.
Mine just stopped working this week without me doing anything. It's greyed out.
